When she saw the label, she remembered that it was the name of the snack shop right next to her high school in the past. The shop was still open even after so many years?Carol took the box. After Eilynn left, she opened it and saw a note inside. [I hope that you’ll think of me when you eat the sna
Carol stood in front of the elevator. When Cara walked over, she even rammed into her shoulder. Myka felt angry watching by the side. “What’re you doing?! Can’t you see she’s pregnant?!”Cara gave them a scornful look. She put her hands on her belly, which was clearly more swollen than Carol’s, and
Before her pregnancy, he would, at the very least, hug her and say with great expectancy, “Carol, give birth to my baby, please?”But at present, the words he said the most often to her were, “I’m busy. Let me finish with my work first.”Her workshop was right beside Black Corporation’s office, but
The president’s office at the top floor of Black Corporation’s office building was lit. Titus sat on the sofa. The ashtray in front of him was filled with cigarette butts. When Rio told him that Carol already knew that they were following her, he smiled faintly. She knew, and she still went to meet
Since Aster had decided to bring to light the final shameful secret between them, it meant that he no longer intended to hide it. His mother’s name made Titus jump to his feet and grab Aster’s collar. His eyes were burning with rage. “Don’t even say my mother’s name! You’re not worthy of it!”“Do y
Carol smiled and stared at Titus. “So, are you satisfied now?”“What do you mean?” The veins on the back of Titus’s hands popped up, and his eyes were wild. “You used the baby just to take revenge on me?”“It’s meaningless saying those things now.” She continued smiling and showed no sign of anger o
“Don’t make me repeat myself! Open up!” His tone changed to that of an order.Carol chuckled and looked at him. “Aren’t you sick of constantly wearing that mask around me?”“If you want to be angry at me, do it after you eat something. That way, you’ll have the strength to be angry at me.”“You thin
Half a month later, Carol was discharged. She returned to Riverbank International, and with Mrs. Oceane taking care of her, she recovered quickly. Myka often dropped by to visit her and told her jokes to make her laugh.Nancy was in charge of the workshop and would occasionally visit her as well. W
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
