Titus took a few puffs. After he calmed down, he asked, “Don’t you ever get tired of pretending?”“I do.” Carol gave a tight-lipped smile. “It’s precisely because I’m tired that I want to let go. You won’t ever understand how I feel. I love you, but…”“But what? Continue.”“I just can’t accept you a
Titus was right. She was sticking her nose into business that did not belong to her and was worrying herself for nothing. Her own relationship was a mess. Why was she trying to matchmake someone else?…After lunch, Nancy returned to the workshop. She got out of a white Rolls-Royce. The one who ope
Carol thought that Titus was doing this on purpose. Nancy had just gone on a successful blind date, and he wanted her to meet Boaz?And Myka too? Sirius’s wife was about to give birth, so why should she meet him?She finally understood why friends should not date. If they got married, things would
Sirius nodded and took a sip of wine. “I know, Titus, and I know what I’m doing.”“If you know what you’re doing, why did you get that sugar baby in the first place?” Titus gritted his teeth. “Do you know what sort of men I look down on the most in the world?”Boaz and Sirius looked at him. “Men wh
Carol did not know what to say about Titus anymore. He had actually bribed her best friend!After she left the room, she saw Titus smoking in the corridor. Carol shut the door and went over to pluck the cigarette from his lips. After putting it out, she threw it into the ashtray in the lounge. Right
…Edward ended up storming off. Titus looked at the culprit beside him and did not understand why she regarded Edward with such hostility. “Did you meet Edward behind my back before?”Carol tucked her hair behind her ear. “Once. I even went to the president’s mansion to meet him.”So, they did act
Titus was not a meddlesome person. But Aquafina was Carol’s half-sister and took care of Carol during the three years she lived in Jeneva. Titus was also good friends with Eason because of what happened in the past. So he had to talk to Eason. Once they talked, Titus found that Eason had changed.
He kissed her deeply and roughly while he kept a tight grip over her waist so that she was pressed flush against him. When things were about to go out of control, he broke off the kiss. While panting with a dried up throat, he stared at Carol and said hoarsely, “What I wouldn’t give to screw you r
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
