“So, it wasn’t like the media said. Miss Aqua didn’t reject his proposal since she left early that day. But even if she stayed, Mr. Titus wouldn’t be with her.”After hearing Rivas’s explanation, Carol remembered what Nancy had said earlier. It made sense why Nancy had such disdain for Aqua. It turn
Carol shared everything about herself for the first time. Titus listened quietly without interrupting. When the wind got stronger, he took her hand and pulled her inside. After closing the sliding door, the room became quiet. He looked at Carol’s sad face and hugged her.He gave her a gentle pat o
As soon as Rivas said it, he realized he had said something he should not have, so he smacked himself on the mouth. “Look at me. Why do I end up blurting everything out?”“Don’t worry, Mr. Rivas. I know Aqua lives across the lake.” Carol picked up the spoon and opened the lunch box. “She messaged me
When Carol met Titus, she felt so embarrassed that she wished to dig a hole and hide in it. Fortunately, Titus was busy with paperwork when she arrived at Grand Land International.After about an hour, he finished his work and realized it was getting dark outside. He then recalled that Carol was in
Carol sat in the passenger’s seat and looked at the scenery outside the car window. She had been to Surich many times, but she had always been in a rush and never had the chance to enjoy the city properly.Unlike Northvale, Surich did not have a lot of cars on the road at night, so the traffic was n
Carol shut her eyes and peeled Adam’s arms away from her waist. “Adam, it’s not that I’m not giving you a chance. We’ve both changed. You’re no longer the Adam I knew, and I’m no longer the Carol you knew. You’re now Adam Snyder, and I’m Caroline Rockefeller.”“I haven’t changed! All you see are sup
Carol thought that Titus was being childish, and she turned around in disappointment to meet his gaze. “You’ve achieved your goal. We’ve become clowns. Adam has paid the price, and you’ve slept with me plenty of times. Don’t you think you should have worked off your anger by now?”Titus frowned and
Titus came out of the bathroom and saw Carol picking up clothes from the floor. He narrowed his eyes. While naked, Carol felt someone staring at her, but she did not feel shy in the slightest. She picked up Titus’s white shirt and put it on. Then, she met his gaze and said, “I couldn’t find the pi
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
