"Then what do you want? How can we end things? Do you want me to sleep with you? Or do you want me to be in a fake relationship with you again?" Lisa asked, mocking Terry."You can have all the women you want. Why must you act like you can't live without me? Besides, I'm not the only one for you. If you can't live without me, the breakup wouldn't have happened.""What am I to you?" Terry asked, staring at her eyes.Lisa met his gaze. "A man I loved once, but I'll never love someone like you again. I was hurt once, and I don't want to have my heart broken again. You're very career-oriented. You desire wealth and power, but all I want is just a peaceful and ordinary life with my future husband and children."Lisa and Terry were from two different worlds. They had completely different upbringings and were never meant to be together.Terry rose slowly, backing away from Lisa step by step. The moonlight shone on him through the window, lighting half of his face."You're right. I can h
Terry missed Lisa so much. She was the woman he desired the most, but she never realized he could not live without her and thought he could have any woman he wanted! Lisa was the only woman he loved. Terry had given all his feelings to her. How could he be with another woman?!Five years ago, Terry's decision to leave her behind was motivated solely by practicality rather than the future.Treading on thin ice, Terry had never thought of his future. He never knew if he had one and could not even secretly give her a promise. Terry's future had been uncertain. He never knew if he could regain the White family and crush the Hart family.For the past five years, Terry had secretly hired someone to pay attention to what Lisa was doing and stayed updated about her life. He did not dare to meet her and had to hold back from wanting to see her.Terry finally had all he wanted, but her heart was no longer with him! Thinking of this, Terry laughed at his own misery, his lips curling into a
Terry's face contorted with pain and struggle, jealousy consuming his mind as he thought of Lisa's future with Gale.Gale left Lisa's place with a big sigh of relief. He was glad to know Lisa had returned home safely upon contacting her earlier in the day, so he had hurried over to meet her. The storm was over, and Lisa could finally return to a normal life.A smile flashed across his face as he thought about what Lisa had privately told him earlier. "Gale, well… If you don't think it's a good idea for us to stay in touch, just let me know. It's okay." Gales thought Lisa was sometimes too honest for her own good. Lisa was already in her early thirties, but she was still as naive and innocent as a child. Maybe that was why he wanted to keep in touch with her after the blind date."Let's stay in touch, then. You're a victim of this scandal too.""So you believe me? That I didn't do anything with Terry in the hotel.""I do," Gale answered her. Yeah, he believed in her. Lisa would h
Gale never imagined that Terry would get jealous because of him."Mr. White, do you still have feelings for Lisa? If you do, you shouldn't be asking me this. You should talk to Lisa," Gale reminded him."Even if I want to be with Lisa, it'll only work out if she chooses me. Likewise, even if you still love her, you can't be with her unless she chooses you. The choice is hers.""I'm asking you if you're going to stay with her," Terry said, pursing his lips tightly.Gale sighed, knowing he could not leave until he gave Terry an answer. "Lisa is a good woman. If our feelings are mutual, I'd want to be with her, naturally.""Are you worthy of her? Do you love her enough to give up everything for her? Otherwise, don't even dream about it!" Terry warned."What? What if I don't love her enough to give up everything for her? Will you stop me from dating her?" Gale questioned.Terry said nothing, but the cold look on his face was already an answer."Can you give up everything for her? I
All of a sudden, Lisa's colleagues all sided with her, trying to flatter her. Some even began asking Lisa about her relationship with Terry."Hey, Lisa. Is Terry trying to get you back?""He was so handsome when he took you away from the press. He was like a prince who saved the princess!""Will Lisa soon become the CEO's wife?"Lisa knew the reason her colleagues had changed their attitudes toward her. It was all because of Terry. People could be very realistic. She had experienced so much prejudice and discrimination in the past five years that she no longer cared."I'm no longer related to Mr. White. Please don't speculate anything more. I'm dating someone else, and your comments will cause me trouble," Lisa stated, her voice cold.Her colleagues looked at each other, embarrassed at what Lisa had said. The crowd dispersed not long after, and Lisa finally regained some peace.Terry had not shown up when she went home yesterday. Terry's men had told her, "Mr. White says the mat
Just as Serenity was about to enter the building, something suddenly fell from above."Look out!" A cry of surprise rang from behind. Then, strong arms dragged Serenity to the side, knocking her to the ground. She felt a pair of hands shielding her as she fell to the ground."Madam! Madam!" Rapid footsteps followed as she heard the bodyguard and driver shouting frantically, bringing her back to her senses. "I'm fine," Serenity said, standing up in pain with the bodyguard's help. Then, she turned to the man who had just saved her. The man got up, dusting sand from his clothes."Are you alright, sir? Thank you for—" Serenity wanted to thank him for his help, but she paused midsentence, stunned as she saw the man look up. She recognized that man! Zeke Shaw! What was he doing here?Zeke was her ex-boyfriend and Jenny Hall's fiance, and he had been very popular among the Solaria elite class! Serenity did not expect to meet Zeke again, and he seemed completely different from what he wa
The security guard was stunned by Serenity's words and finally noticed the broken flower pot and the dirt on the ground.Realizing what had happened, the security guard quickly let go of Zeke's hand. Serenity told the bodyguard to take a look at Zeke's wrist.After a careful inspection, the bodyguard informed Serenity, "Madam, this man has a broken wrist."Serenity spoke upon hearing that, "Let's take him to the hospital.""Yes," the bodyguard responded.At the same time, Serenity's phone rang abruptly. She picked it up, but her face changed as soon as she heard the caller speak. "Yes, understood. Thanks."After ending the phone call, Serenity left the office building and went straight to the court. In the meantime, the bodyguard took Zeke to the hospital. When Serenity was leaving the court, the bodyguard called and informed her of Zeke's situation. The doctor had said that Zeke's injuries were not too serious and that he would recover within a month or so."Good. Give Zeke the
Jackson looked at Taylor's bloodied hands, his eyes dark. "Make sure her hands will never be able to break anything again. After that, hand her over to the police," Jackson ordered his men, his voice icy. "Yes," his subordinate responded.Taylor panicked at Jackson's order. Would she lose her hands? At this point, she would rather they just hand her over to the police."Please spare me. I won't do it again. I-I'll turn myself in…" But no matter how much she begged for mercy, it was futile.Jackson's face remained cold. This woman should be glad that Serenity was not hurt. Otherwise, she would have gotten a worse punishment and lost more than just her hands!Ignoring the woman's cry, Jackson left the scene, and Connor quickly followed. Connor handed Jackson a file as the two men entered the car parked outside. "Mr. Valor, this is Zeke's information for the past few years. He's working as a courier now. He happened to save Mrs. Valor's life today, but he broke his wrist, so Mrs
