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,
Titus gave her a scornful look. “So what if she’s divorced? She’s still my lover, and an outsider has no place to criticize her.”Nancy’s hands trembled. “Am I just an outsider to you?”“Try it and you will understand your place in my life. Don’t push your luck!”…After Titus left the backyard, Nan
“He might not have had the heart to do it before, but this time, he will definitely do it,” Melecio said. “Even if Dad is only putting on an act and only pretending to disown him, it’s still a chance for us. Later on, we will just have to force Dad to make it real. It’s not as if it’s impossible.”“
After what Sirius said, Myka knew that she had lost her rationale because of her anger. She quickly turned on her laptop and retrieved the information about an A-list actor keeping a no-name actress as his sugar baby. She had wanted to upload the news a few days later, but it seemed like she would h
…After Kieran left, a lawyer came in. When he saw the guilty look on Carol’s face, he took out a name card from his pocket and handed it to her. “Miss Carol, I was hired to defend you.”Carol did not take the card. “I don’t need a lawyer. I killed the man, and I’ve already admitted it to the police
Right after they finished saying this, someone opened the door from the outside. It was Carol. She stood at the door with a pen and a notebook. The prisoners were stunned. She just gave them cool looks. The prisoners knew that they had said something they should not have, so they pretended not to
“Since you know that I have questions, why don’t you tell me who bailed me out?”“Come now, why go there? You’d be more likable if you were just a tad more circumspect. If you pretended to be ignorant about certain things, it’d be better for everyone.”Carol figured out what had happened. Kieran was
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
