The moment Carol got into Aster’s car, she started crying. Aster just drove and let her cry. He said nothing to comfort her, but did stop her from crying either. When he reached his beachside mansion, he opened the door for her. “Take a look and see whether you like this place. If you like it, go i
Aster was brushing his teeth when he heard his door being kicked. When he realized that something bad was about to happen, he opened the door and saw Carol standing at his door while fuming. He gestured for her to wait a moment. “Let me brush my teeth first.”Then, he returned to the bathroom. Who
Carol went upstairs to wash her face. After putting on light makeup, she put on the dress she wore last night and went downstairs. When Aster saw her getup, he scoffed. “Even if you’re pretty, don’t wear whatever you want without caring about your appearance. Your fashion sense is horrible.”Ca
If the Fritzgerald family cared, they would not allow Aster to bring Carol everywhere with him in broad daylight. Titus could not calm down and focus on work. He put down his pen and took out a cigarette before lighting it and going over to the floor-to-ceiling window. He had never felt this irrit
Myka cooked a lot of Carol’s favorite foods, but Carol did not have any appetite. Myka noticed her abnormal behavior. “Didn’t you just say that you were hungry?”At that, Carol picked up a chicken wing and took a bite for show. “You can stop with the act in front of me. Tell me. What’s going on be
When Aster saw her slightly pale face, he smiled and said, “That was just a joke. How could you believe that? Do I look like such a brutal man? “As for the recording pen…”He suddenly stopped, which made Carol feel quite worked up. “You put the recording pen inside, didn’t you?”“How could I? Titus
Carol swore to Aster, “I’m not the type of woman who’d lose my head over love, and I won’t waste my feelings on a man who doesn’t even love me.”But Aster did not believe her. “If you had your head screwed on right, you would have been able to let go of him by now.”Aster then turned his back to her
Gavin knew that his words sounded harsh. “Miss Carol, I hope that you won’t mind what I just said.”“I don’t mind.” Carol smiled. Gavin was quite impressed with how at ease Carol was about this. Then again, Kieran had already come forward to say that they were only in a contractual marriage. They n
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
