In the face of Sirius’s questions, Myka widened her eyes to show that she was innocent in this. “You’re not drunk?”“Who told you I was drunk?”Then, she realized that she had been set up. Upon remembering that Aster had been coincidentally in Royal Court as well, she knew that the woman was definit
Sirius’s voice then grew bitter, but his touches remained gentle. As he continued kissing her, he said, “I know that you’ve been thinking about leaving Northvale and that you’re looking for somewhere to hide from me and Aster Fritzgerald, but you can’t solve all these problems by hiding. I know wha
This was her dirty past. She could never get rid of it. “Ever since you were hospitalized, I receive these videos every day in my email. It’s never the same video.” He turned off the video and threw his phone to the side. “Do you know how I felt once I saw those videos? I wanted to kill Aster, but
Myka had not returned to her apartment for more than a month. She took out her key and opened the door. When she opened the shoe cabinet to change into her slippers, she saw a pair of shiny, black leather shoes inside. Once she was done and stood up, Aster hugged her waist tightly. It was as if he
Carol came forward and gave Estelle a cool look. “Even if your father came over, he’s not allowed to go in and visit Aster!”When she met Carol’s gaze, Estelle felt her blood turn cold. She started wondering whether she should run. What if Aster woke up and discovered the truth?Titus saw the panic
Carol rested for half a day, then went to visit Myka in the afternoon at the police station. Myka was dressed in prisoner garb with her long hair tied in a ponytail. Since she was not wearing any makeup, she looked haggard. Her eye bags were really dark, and her gaze was dull. She looked incredibly
“I can’t believe you’d still have the gall to say you care about her! Look at the thing you brought up! Look at what sort of person she has become!”Compared to his dignity, Avery cared more about his own life. He took out a dozen photos from his pocket and threw them at Monet’s face. “Look at what
Two days later, Aster woke up, and the first thing he did was ask to meet Myka. “Where’s Myka? Ask her to come over. I have some questions for her.”“Myka still doesn’t want to meet you. Rest first. Once you get better, I’ll ask Myka to come over.” Carol did not dare tell him that Myka was imprisone
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
