Carol remained silent. She sat in the front passenger’s seat and did not yell but did not smile either. Titus drove to Riverbank International and parked the car at the entrance. Then, he dragged Carol out of the car, but since he was really rough, he accidentally touched the wound on her wrist. C
Carol knew why Nancy hit her, which was why she did not fight back. After all, she was indeed guilty of being the reason why Titus was taken by the police for questioning. Even so, she gave her a cool look. “Will the police release Titus after you slapped me?” Despite seeing the hate in Nancy’s eye
Aster did not refute any of Carol’s accusations. He drove slowly while watching the scenery outside. Once Carol calmed down, he said, “Carrie, you only have two choices right now. You can go to Gallia, or stay in Northvale and let the police arrest you.”Carol sneered. “Are you forcing me to return
Carol put on a guileless expression. “Come now, Mr. Titus. How could I be disappointed? I’m happy that you look well.”“What’s the point of putting on that act?” Titus exposed her lie coldly. “For revenge?”“Of course not. You saved me that night. If I wanted revenge, I’d be a heartless woman.”“Did
Knowing that he would not believe her, she took out a marriage certificate from her handbag. “I wouldn’t have dared to make such a huge gamble without the marriage certificate.”She put the marriage certificate back into her handbag. “Do you hate me so much that you would rather keep lying to me?”
Carol’s eyes burned with tears and hate. The knowledge that Titus was the one who drove Adam into a deadend made her hate herself for ever treating him as her savior. “Titus, you knew that I was Adam’s sister but pretended to give me money and help me so that I’d treat you as my savior and cling on
Carol still said nothing, and it made the bespectacled woman angry. She grabbed her hair. “Enough with the pretentious act! Even if you had a high status before coming here, we’re all equals after we’ve been put behind bars! No one’s allowed to look down on anyone else!” “Exactly! What’s with the p
Carol shook her head. “I have nothing to do with the Fritzgerald family. Not fifteen years ago, and certainly not now.”“Seriously, you…” Aster did not know what to do with her anymore, so he went to the window to continue smoking. Aster smoked a few cigarettes before he finally calmed down. Then,
Since then, the Fritzgerald family fell from grace, and the shock was so great that Robin died in prison. During the funeral, Aster stared at Robin’s photo on his tombstone and smiled. “See, Grandpa? I still managed to destroy the Fritzgerald family’s cage in this timeline.”The Fritzgerald Corpora
“I know that you’re trying to fool me into becoming your puppet again. Over the past decade, I worked hard for Fritzgerald Corporation. I did whatever you asked me to, but I won’t listen to you when it comes to marrying someone who will spend the rest of her days with me. If you really want a puppet
Sirius could not figure out what she meant and could only nod. Myka did not want to stay here any longer and left to look for Aster. He was at the door of the doctor’s office. By the looks of it, he had just come out. “Well? I’m fine, aren’t I? I told you I was.”Aster ruffled her hair affectionat
He took over the report from Myka’s hands and took a look. But it only made him angrier. “You’re pregnant?”Myka slapped her hand over her forehead. She did not even have the time to explain what had happened and could only say, “Look at the name.”Feeling skeptical, Sirius checked the name, only to
What she said made Aster so happy that he rushed over to Myka like a child and kissed her forehead gently. “Alright, sweetheart.”If she were not injured, he would have picked her up and twirled her around simply because he was too happy. After Aster bade her goodnight, he turned the lights off for
In her despair, she gave up on fighting back. Suddenly, they heard a gunshot from outside. The three men were shocked. Did they interrupt some trade between criminal organizations? If that was the case, they could not stay anymore. They had to leave. But soon after they stepped out, they retreated.
She reached the third floor. The two men were about to meet up with the man on the first floor. Myka quickly went to the second floor. She had to seize the chance to jump. Otherwise, when the three of them came up to look for her, she would have a hard time escaping. Myka looked out one of the wind
Those two men did not search quickly. She only heard them getting closer after more than one hour passed. They were right outside. They had even entered the apartment. Myka held her breath. Her heart raced. “There’s a closet here. She might be hiding inside.”“Are you blind? The drawers are small
Robin hung up. All he could think about was what Aster told him just now. He wanted familial love? What a joke! The Fritzgerald family had built a business empire. If they had let themselves be controlled by those useless emotions, their empire would have fallen to ruins a long time ago!He answere
