After Myka got out of the car, she jogged a little before she lay down on the grass. She loved the place. As for Sirius, he appeared to be hesitant, as if he wanted to say something, but did not know if she should. When Myka sat up, Sirius went over and sat down across from her. “This is a great
“Are you mad at me, Myka?” Sirius asked.She shook her head. “Of course not. We’re still friends. Don’t overthink my reaction and worry too much.”Even so, Sirius was still worried. He felt that Myka’s impression of him had changed. After he left, he went to Royal Court and started drinking. …Onc
“I know that Robin Fritzgerald is infamous for not being open to reason. He did not even show mercy to his own daughter when she left. How could you possibly think you’re of any importance to him when you’re just his future granddaughter-in-law? He only agreed to the engagement because of Edward.” A
However, he only realized just how stylish Prime International was when he arrived at the place. Meanwhile, Leon was down and out because of his mother’s illness and because of suing Avery for corruption. He felt a little embarrassed. At the sight of Leon’s skepticism, Estelle said, “Mr. Leon, I’m
“Then, how do you explain this? Leon said he came here to ask you to pay for his mother’s treatment. He had no reason to lie.”Aster remained calm. He took a few pieces of paper from his drawer. It had the names of people Prime International provided aid to, and there were hundreds of them. Leon’s m
The sight of Aster ignoring her made Estelle angry. She grabbed the cup on the table and threw it on the floor. Aster did not turn back despite hearing the sound. He just called his assistant to have the security guards send her away. Estelle did not continue acting impudently. After she threw the
“You said it yourself. You’re worried about forming bad ties with the president, but Estelle is not Edward Grand’s daughter, so how could we possibly form bad ties with him? Besides, her father is in jail, and Edward Grand can’t save him even if he wants to. “By the looks of it, he won’t be able to
“You’re not getting rid of me, Aster. I insist on meeting Robin—”At that moment, they heard the sound of footsteps. Robin had come down with the help of a servant. “You wanted to see me, Miss Estelle?”No emotion could be detected in Robin’s voice, but it was surprisingly intimidating. The calmer
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
