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
The scenery along the road grew increasingly familiar. Then, Myka remembered that they were on their way to Aster’s beachside mansion. “How much money did Aster give you?”Gavin felt indignant while he drove. He did not need that money! “Miss Myka, Mr. Aster is the one who dropped your charges. You
Aster saw Myka’s mocking smile. As he sat in his wheelchair, he placed his hands on his knees and met her gaze before he gave her a relieved smile. Yes. He felt relieved. So long as she felt happy, even if she really did kill him that day, he was fine with it. The lady Myka saw in the mansion and
“For the baby’s sake, Myka, calm down.”“Haven’t you told Aster that the baby might not be his?”“What?” Carol was shocked. “Don’t joke around, Myka.”“I’m not joking. To take revenge on him, I slept with more than ten men. Do you really think Sirius was the only one? No! I’m a really promiscuous wo
Aster’s gaze turned even darker. If Myka had insulted him like this in the past, he would have slapped her a few times because to him, men and women should be treated equally. But he could no longer bear to do it. “Myka, don’t cross my boundaries.” Impatience flared on his face. Myka continued sm
“Don’t worry. Once I leave Northvale, I’ll live an even better life than before. I won’t think about killing myself. I’ve already come around. I want to give birth to the baby. No matter who the father is, I will give birth to it. Once it’s born, and if you still think that it’s your baby, I’ll brin
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
