“You flatter me, Mr. Aster. You’re well-known to be a young, talented businessman in Northvale, and it’s something rare here. The line of people who want to associate themselves with you can go around the world.” Estelle pressed her body against Aster. While squashing down the disgust in his heart,
Aster also received a call from Robin saying that he missed him. He also asked him to visit him at the Fritzgerald family’s mansion. Aster was puzzled. Robin had always been ruthless. Pigs would have to start flying before he asked Aster to go back and visit him because he suddenly had a stroke of
…Aster and Estelle’s wedding was thus set in stone. Aster did nothing to tell others that he was engaged, but Estelle started boasting about it by uploading videos about her engagement. It did not matter that Avery had just been removed from his position because of corruption. She was already boun
“Myka, just be honest with me. Do you have some sort of superpower that allows you to predict the future?”Myka nearly did a spit-take when she heard what Sirius said. “Cough! Cough!”After taking the napkin Sirius handed to her, she wiped her mouth. “Have you been reading too many fantasy novels?
Was he that untrustworthy to Myka?Aster gritted his teeth and asked, “Is that how you see me?”She nodded. “Exactly. You have no one else to blame but yourself for having done so many wrong things in the original timeline. You’re not trustworthy in the slightest.”He nodded while his heart was fill
Estelle was waiting for Aster to fire the receptionist, and the receptionist’s hands trembled because of the evil grin on Estelle’s face. She took the phone. “Let her come up!” Aster snapped impatiently before he hung up. The receptionist thanked her lucky stars that she managed to escape disaster,
Aster doted on Carol in the original timeline, and he had a feeling that was why Myka called her to grumble about it, aside from the fact that they were the only two people who knew about the original timeline because they returned to the past. That also meant that she was about to come clean to Car
However, he was only worthy of respect after going through that. That meant that he was not a useless rich man’s son who lived a glorious life because of all the things his family gave him. Aster felt really relaxed here and talked about a lot of things with Myka. Their food was served. Mrs. Sadle
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
