At a time like this, who would help her?Who would block those questions for her and help her break free from the reporters who had surrounded her?There was a sudden commotion ahead. Several black cars had pulled up in front of the building. A number of people quickly got out of the car and charged into the crowd, separating the reporters and onlookers from Lisa.Lisa was completely stunned, unable to grasp what was going on.Then, another car pulled up, and a man got out of the car and approached her with quick steps.Lisa looked at the man in shock. It's Terry White!He had appeared before her once more, and it was under such circumstances!Didn't he know the reason why she was being surrounded by reporters? His appearance would only make things worse!It didn't take long for Terry to reach Lisa.Lisa instinctively tried to back away, but Terry quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her away without a word.Lisa followed Terry passively, her mind blank. She didn't know what to
But he didn't tell the driver to stop. Instead, he said, "If you really wanted to distance yourself from me, you should have slapped me when I pulled you into the car just now. It's too late now.""You...!" Lisa glared at him. "I'm already in enough trouble as it is. What do you want? If you suddenly show up like this, wouldn't your girlfriend misunderstand?!"Terry gave Lisa a complicated look. "Does it matter if she misunderstands? Would you believe me if I tell you that I've never had any feelings for her?"Lisa was stunned. After a while, she came back to her senses and said, "So you're just dating her for... status and power?"He pursed his lips and didn't answer.She didn't ask anymore. Before this, she had thought that even if he had chosen to be with Monica Hart for the sake of his career, they had spent five years together and were going to get married soon, so they must have some feelings for each other.Surely he wouldn't marry someone he didn't love?!But now, he's t
"You really want us to go our separate ways that badly?" he asked with difficulty, his hands that hung at his sides tightened into fists.He had decided to risk everything and act earlier than planned for her sake, but the woman he loved was telling him that she wanted to have nothing to do with him!"Shouldn't I?" she retorted. "We made a clean break and have kept our distance from each other for five years. Why did you suddenly come back to see me? Do you really think that things will work out between us if I just hide here for a few days?"Terry's fists tightened further, his nails piercing into his palms.Why...That's right, why?Because he missed her. Because he missed her dearly. Because he had been carrying out his plan for five years, and he just needed a little more time to wrap things up.He couldn't stop himself from making contact with her and getting involved with her again. He knew that his impatience almost ruined his entire plan, but fortunately, he was no longe
After the kiss, he looked at her with a pale face and asked, "You really won't get back together with me?"His voice pulled her back to reality.She stared at the man in front of her. He was no longer the man who had said that once they decided to be together, he would never allow them to break up. He was no longer the man who would unconditionally spoil her, meet celebrities with her, and watch cheesy TV dramas with her.This man had already made his choice when she was in extreme pain and needed him the most.She and he were not meant to be together."That's right, I won't," she replied.With a dark emotion in his eyes, he asked, "Then who are you going to date? Gale Porter?""Why not?" she retorted. "He's a good man. I feel relaxed when I'm around him. If you can marry Monica Hart, why can't I date Gale?""But you don't love him. If you really do love him, you wouldn't have let me kiss you for such a long time. You could have just bitten me.""Shut up!""Also, does Gale kn
He knew that he was jealous. He was jealous to death!That's why he lost control and did something like that, and said those words.The Harts... and Monica... Since Monica had decided to test him this way, there's no need for him to wait anymore.Even though his success rate might be higher if he waited for a few more days, he couldn't bear to see Lisa get flamed – he didn't want Lisa to get hurt. It's time to wrap things up!Serenity didn't know that her friend had become hot gossip until that evening, when Jackson mentioned it to her casually. She immediately took out her phone to read the news.“Why didn't you tell me earlier? Terry is putting Lisa in a tough spot. Does he think he's helping Lisa by doing that?” Serenity asked.“He's not an impulsive man. If he dared to take Lisa away in public like that, he must have something prepared,” Jackson mused.“What do you mean?” Serenity asked, puzzled.“Assuming Terry's true love is Lisa and he only broke up with her to borrow t
Serenity’s words warmed Lisa's heart. When Lisa was severely injured, Serenity did her best to protect her. Serenity was still the same person she was back then."I know," Lisa said, "Serenity, I'm so glad to have a friend like you!"Monica watched a video on her phone coldly. It was a video of Terry taking Lisa away from a large group of reporters.The video was only a minute long, but Monica watched it over and over again.Every time she watched it, her face became a little colder.Her parents had called her to ask her what was going on. She wanted to ask Terry that too, but... he's not picking up her calls.When she asked Terry's subordinates, they gave her all sorts of excuses!After turning off the video, Monica pondered for a moment, then drove to Terry's mansion in Solaria.At the mansion gate, Monica was stopped by the security guard."Don't you know who I am?" Monica asked angrily."Mr. White said no outsiders allowed without his express permission," the security gu
“You wanted this to happen, didn't you? It must have cost you a lot of money to pay the gossip columnist, the reporters, and all those online shills.”Monica’s heart sank. He actually knew!“I know you just want to force me to make a choice. Well, I’ve made my choice,” Terry said.Monica gritted her teeth. She realized that he had seen through her.Yes, she did this to test him. She set Lisa up so that Lisa would become a target of public criticism and be spat on by the general public!She wanted Terry to publicly distance himself from Lisa. Only then could she truly feel at ease and marry him!She never thought that he would actually choose Lisa!“Do you have any idea what you're doing? You want to be an enemy of the Hart family? Have you forgotten who helped you rise to power?!” Monica threatened.Terry lowered his gaze, looking at the cocktail in his hand. This was Lisa’s favorite cocktail. She said it had a faint, refreshing taste.Over the last five years, he had had this
But now, her confidence was quickly waning!"Rather than letting me hold real power, turning me into a puppet CEO is more in line with the Hart family's interests. You'll also feel safer that way, right?" Terry's mouth tugged in a faint smile, but his eyes were ice-cold.Monica shuddered. She had always been a manipulative and proud woman, so she always felt that everything was under her control.But now, she realized that Terry was actually the one who was in control this whole time.He knew what she and the Hart family were planning, but they were fooled by his acting!If he had been obedient and accommodating, she would have been suspicious, but his behavior, his struggling, his desire for power, and his conflict with her in the past five years... made her lower her guard!He's a very, very calculating man!He's a monster!Monica turned around to leave without a word! There's nothing more to say. She had to think up a countermeasure as soon as possible!But she was stopped
