Hence, once her leg recovered, she went to Prudence and told her plans. “I don’t want to go back. Could you find some way for me to stay here as a volunteer?”Prudence hesitated. It was not that she was doubting her abilities. In truth, over the past half a month they were together, she could tell
Prudence woke up that evening and was surprised when she saw Leroy, but once she recovered from her shock, they started treating each other indifferently again. However, when they talked about Carly, Prudence said, “Carly doesn’t want anyone knowing about her. Please keep her existence a secret.”L
With a calm expression, Carol flashed Adam a smile. “Mr. Adam, I can’t return to Surich with you. I like my current job. I feel like I’m living a fulfilling and meaningful life every single day here.”She was referring to him as Mr. Adam again.Adam put down the glass and could no longer contain the
If anyone else heard Carol saying that she wanted to die, they might think that those were just empty words. But Aster knew that Carol would never joke around when it came to death. More than ten years ago, he saw this stubborn woman choose to stay in an orphanage. At that time, she was only ten.
When Aster saw Carol having no reaction, he did not continue talking about it. After lunch, he brought her to the market to buy some ingredients and so many snacks that it filled up the car’s entire boot. Then, he sent her back to the camp. Right when they arrived in the camp, a group of children r
Prudence had taught Carol how to use a gun before, but Carol had only fired it once, and she was scared of the deafening gunshot. On the surface, Carol pretended not to be scared, but she was terrified of gunshots. Hence, when Prudence gave her a gun to protect herself, she threw it into her lugga
Carol did not experience the pleasure like before. Whenever Titus thrusted into her, she was reminded of how he had been intimate with another woman over the past few years. She did care. She thought that her love for Titus had faded away and that she had moved on, but at that moment, she realize
When Carol threw the new phone away, Titus figured out why they could not shake the people off. The device’s location was on, and their pursuers had their location at all times. It was impossible to shake them off!“Who gave you the phone? You’re still not going to tell me the truth, are you?”His
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
