This led to Aster flying into a rage at her after she said that. After Edward refused to see her, Estelle decided to take matters into her own hands and went to meet Carol. No matter what, they were now a family, and Carol should show her some respect for Aster’s sake. “You must be Carol. I’m Este
Eason always gave people the impression that he was an orderly, elegant, and even-tempered man. Carol had never seen him lose his temper before, but when Rio and the other security guards blocked his way, his bloodshot eyes became filled with hate. That hate only largely disappeared after he saw Ca
Myra nodded with a smile. She was not surprised that Carol recognized her. “You do look like your mother. It’s as if you were carved from the same mold. You’re both beautiful and pleasant to the eye.”Carol heard from Aquafina that Myra had been divorced from Edward for more than twenty years. After
The next day, when Carol went to visit Aquafina in the hospital, Rio told her not to go in first. “Madam, Miss Aquafina is arguing with her mother. You should drop by later.”“Do you know the reason?”Rio hesitated for a moment before he decided in the end to tell Carol the truth. “I think it’s abou
“I wasn’t mistreating her. She was the one who hit me first.”“She’s not the type to hit someone out of the blue. If she hit you, that means you deserved it.”Myra was scared, and she cried out to Aquafina, “Come out, Fina! They’re going to kill me! Save me!”But Aquafina answered her coldly, “Don’t
Malina looked really upset as she pouted and said, “I know that Sirius has always liked you, and I’m not trying to fight you for Sirius’s affection. I just hope that you will let Sirius come back often to visit me and my child after I give birth.”Why did this sound so weird?“Hang on a second.” Myk
“He’s the only one I love.” Malina bit her lip. At this point, she had already balled up the napkin in her hands. Clearly, she was suffering greatly. Myka felt defeated and chose to give up on persuading her to divorce Sirius. “Then, you should find time to talk to him. I’m only an outsider. I can’
Myka was stunned. She was in the wrong for standing up to Malina?“Why are you scared? Even if Sirius knows that you told me those things, what’s he going to do about it? Just be honest and tell him you told me. If you have the guts to do something, have the guts to admit it, understand?”Malina cr
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
