Chapter 121 Almost Didn’t Make It

Jethro’s current state verged on fury, and I couldn't help but fear his fist might find its way to me in the next moment.I thought this man possessed a gentleman's grace. Despite his volatile temper and icy exterior, I believed he wouldn’t resort to violence against a woman, or so I believed. My illusions shattered today at the police station when I witnessed him hit a woman with my own eyes. His words, "There's no such rule about not hitting women in my books," echoed in my mind, stirring up a genuine fear within me.The intensity of his anger was more than I'd ever imagined. To say I wasn't frightened would be a lie.I looked at Jethro with terror, too petrified to speak. My only response was a silent, numb shake of my head.Although my relationship with Ignatz was official, the idea of rushing into physical intimacy with him, particularly sex, hadn't even ventured into my thoughts.Observing my reaction, the rage in Jethro's eyes subsided a little. Yet, the intimidating atmosp

Chapter 122 A Goodbye Kiss

Unable to take it anymore, I shouted, “Get out!”I turned my back on him, refusing to engage any further. This man took shamelessness to new heights. Continuing this conversation would only demean me, and I had no intention of doing that.After that exhausting session, I was completely drained. Once I lay down, I fell into a deep, restful sleep. I slept so soundly that it was almost noon by the time I woke up. Groggily, I opened my eyes, squinting against the sunlight streaming through the window. Looking around, I noticed Jethro’s absence from the bed and sighed in relief.I had several missed calls from Ignatz. I recalled calling him the previous night when Summer and I were taken by the police, and he hadn’t answered. He must be worried because of that call.Ignoring the missed calls, I decided against calling him back. The drama had concluded, and there was nothing left to explain.I sat up and picked up my skirt from the floor, planning to leave. However, I found my top torn

Chapter 123 With Him All of Last Night

Jethro’s kiss was tender as if he were cherishing a beloved one. His gentleness made my heart race uncontrollably. I couldn’t comprehend this sudden change in him, but this softer side made me inadvertently sink into the moment.Staying silent, I allowed him to kiss me. My thoughts went blank, forgetting entirely to push him away.It was some time before Jethro reluctantly released me, beaming as he noticed my dazed expression. I came back to my senses, dazed by the intensity of the kiss.God, that kiss was so intense… Wait!"I should go now, bye!" I blurted out as I snapped back to reality.I threw open the car door and darted out. Glancing back, I thought I saw a hint of triumph in Jethro’s eyes. I couldn’t decipher the meaning behind that triumphant look, but in the next second, it became clear.Ignatz was standing nearby, observing me with furrowed brows and an unmistakable look of displeasure.I froze. So, Jethro’s unusual behavior was because he had seen Ignatz. Had he bee

Chapter 124 You Should Shower

We made our way to Summer’s home in silence. The moment we stepped through the door, she greeted us with a smile that quickly waned when her gaze fell on my clothes. Jethro's shirt truly had the ability to turn heads."You’re home, Rina," she said as she took my hand, her face etched with concern."Yeah, I am. How about you, Summer? Does your face still hurt?" I asked. Summer’s face was still swollen from last night’s altercation. The bruises at the corners of her mouth were a stark reminder of the violence Claude and his girlfriend had inflicted."It's nothing. I'm much better now, but you... I'm sorry I pulled into that mess. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn't have been hurt. It's all my fault, Rina," Summer apologized."It's okay, we're friends, aren't we? We stick together through thick and thin. I couldn't just stand by and watch you get bullied," I replied.Despite being hit, it didn't feel wrong in any way. I knew I had been standing up for my best friend.Summer then gl

Chapter 125 Setting the Record Straight

“I’ll never miss a call from you again. Call me right away if you're ever in trouble, and I’ll think of a solution," he promised me.Ignatz’s assurance was comforting. I could detect his underlying wish to distance me from Jethro, but I couldn't overlook his good intentions. His words genuinely warmed my heart."I understand, and thank you," I replied, my voice filled with sincere appreciation.The bond between Ignatz and me had been slow to progress, but our latest shared moments had showcased his patience with me.At that moment, my stomach chose to growl loudly from not being fed since the night before. I stared at Ignatz, uncertain of what to say. Upon seeing my embarrassment, he simply smiled. He then said, "You haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? Let’s go grab a bite.""I’d rather not go out looking like this. If others saw me, they might think you were the one who hit me," I joked.I was yearning for a meal, but my bruised face dissuaded me from stepping out into public

Chapter 126 I Will Take You Here and Now!

The following day, I called in sick with the office. Normally I wouldn’t even have considered taking the day off. Time off equated to lost income, after all. However, this time was an exception. My face was still swollen, and I had no desire to become the talk of the office. A visit to the police station was hardly a point of pride either.Summer took some time off as well, likely for the same reasons. We recuperated at her place for two days, and Ignatz delivered meals to us.By the third day, my injuries were finally less noticeable, prompting me to return to work. As soon as I arrived, Misha threw me a barrage of questions regarding my sudden absence. I came up with a quick excuse and told her that I had been feeling ill.While Misha and I were talking, Jethro walked in. We quickly took our seats and pretended to be deeply engrossed in our work. After all, we were well-acquainted with his critiques, and I had no intention of inviting another lecture."Serena, bring your last rev

Chapter 127 A Call for Funds

“So what if someone sees us? Even if they do, they'll assume you seduced me, right?" Jethro smiled cunningly, his eyes alight with a triumphant gleam.It appeared that he had foreseen this scenario all along. He was getting more despicable by the day."Jethro, what do you want from me exactly? Are you so intent on forcing me out of the company? Have I offended you in some way? Why must you make things so difficult for me at work?!"My frustration was genuine. Even though it was I who proposed we end things—perhaps wounding his ego in the process—I was now merely his employee. There was no need for him to continue this torment, was there?"Did I ever suggest I wanted you to quit? Serena, is this small amount of pressure too much for you? Are you admitting defeat just like that?" Jethro’s eyebrows knitted together as he stared at me disapprovingly."Who wouldn't admit defeat in front of you?" I shot back sarcastically, my eyes flashing with defiance.I had been pushed to my limits.

Chapter 128 Turning a Cold Shoulder

Tens of thousands was an astronomical figure for me. All the money I had was just enough to cover my living expenses, and there was nothing left to help Sean pay off his debts. Even with a city job, my earnings were humble. I was just an average office worker earning less than five thousand a month.Over the years, I had paid off countless debts for Sean. When my father needed heart surgery, I emptied my savings. Now, I was scraping the bottom of the barrel."You can't just leave Sean to his fate, Rina," Mom pleaded, "Those people are threatening him, saying they’ll break his legs if he doesn't pay up by the end of the week. He's our only hope of continuing the family line. If he's crippled, what will we do?"I just told her I was broke, but she refused to accept it. She seemed to think I had a hidden fortune, but I didn’t. And even if I did, I wouldn't pay. I was exhausted from this endless cycle of bailouts."Mom, I really can't help this time," I insisted, "Years of paying Sean’

Chapter 129 Deciding to Be Ruthless

"Iggy, considering we're looking at a future together, it's only right that you know my family situation. It's about bringing two families together, after all.""Just tell me what's on your mind. Understanding each other is part of our journey together," Ignatz said softly, his eyes inviting trust.His kindness tightened the knot of worry in my heart even more. I dreaded what he would think of my family's litany of problems and whether it might change how he felt about us.I was silent for a good while, wrestling with my thoughts before finally mustering the courage to share the distressing conversation I had with my mother and the stark reality of my family's plight. As he listened, Ignatz's brows furrowed slightly. His silence spoke volumes, and I braced myself for the worst. I felt the creeping dread that our relationship was on the brink of collapse, and my family's endless troubles could very well be the deal-breaker.My family was like a bottomless pit, and if Ignatz was seri

Chapter 130 Giving In

"I think this might be the end of the road for Ignatz and me," I finally said with a sigh, recalling how Ignatz had become part of my life through Summer. It was important for her to know that our relationship was possibly coming to a close."Why? Weren't the two of you doing well together? Why break up now?" Summer's eyes widened in surprise, her voice filled with a mix of concern and confusion."I came clean about my family situation with him. Since I entered into this relationship with marriage in mind, it was essential to be transparent with him. After all, he was bound to find out," I reasoned.It was a bitter possibility that my family drama would destroy what Ignatz and I had built. He had every right to walk away, and it wasn’t fair of me to anchor him to my burdens."How could you be so naive, Rina? Why would you tell him about your family so soon?" Summer looked at me worriedly, clearly not on board with my decision to reveal my family's circumstances this early in the re
