Chapter 191

I rushed back to the Gordon family’s mansion, and the tension hit me as soon as I walked in.Mary was pacing around the living room. When she saw me, it was like she had found her savior. She hurried over. “Cassia, they’re in the study. Take this tea to Tyler and see if you can calm him down. I’ve never seen him this mad before. He slapped Zach twice as soon as he saw him. He wasn’t even this furious three years ago.”What happened three years ago did not come close to this. Cameron backing out of the partnership was a big deal. The project was good, but it was way too big for anyone to take on alone.Only a company as big as Cameron’s had the resources to handle something like this. A lot of other companies just could not do it.If Gordon Corporation tried to take it on alone, it would require a huge amount of money. Projects this size took years to finish, and the costs would keep piling up.I agreed, and Mrs. Zaffino quickly handed me the tea along with the tray. Mary squeezed

Chapter 192

Once Tyler was done, the atmosphere in the study felt heavy and tense.Tyler said that in front of me as a warning and a threat to Zach.Zach kept quiet because he knew that Tyler could act on what he said.“And Zach, if you leave the Gordon family, Cecilia will leave you too, just like she did three years ago. Once you’re out of this family, you’ll have nothing.”After that, Tyler walked past me and said, “You should rest. This isn’t your problem.”With that, he left the study, so only Zach and I remained.Zach was standing in the corner, where the light did not reach.I could see that he felt defeated. Because of this incident, Tyler was questioning his relationship and his abilities.Those two things were important to a man.I did not know how to comfort him, and I did not really want to.Why should I care?I just hoped that he would not blame me for everything like Cecilia did. But if he did, there was nothing I could do about it.As I got up from my chair and headed fo

I nodded. “Okay, let’s go inside.”“I really don’t get what Cecilia’s thinking. She did something so dumb and still tried to talk to Mr. Quinlan’s daughter. Is that really going to help?” the driver mumbled.“Of course it’s not going to help. Cecilia knows that,” I replied. “She’s not trying to talk to Rachel. She wants Zach to see that she’s trying to make things right and that she’s willing to put aside her pride as an heiress for him.”“She can’t keep up her pride as an heiress for long.”He was right. Everyone knew that Wilson Corporation was struggling.When I entered Sophie’s house, Rachel was still awake. She sat on the bed and played with some building blocks.It was getting late, so Sophie complained, “She was about to sleep. My mom and I each told her six stories. I talked so much that my mouth got dry, and she started yawning. But then, Cecilia showed up and woke her up.”“It’s okay,” I said. “I’ll stay with her until she sleeps. You should go ahead and rest in your r

Cameron spoke quickly and softly, but I noticed a change in his tone. I could tell what he really meant.I had known Cameron for a long time. He loved Rachel, but he often had different women around him. Since we knew each other, he never showed any romantic interest in me.However, after what happened yesterday, he seemed a bit down. So, I figured he might be saying things without thinking clearly.I smiled and said, “Not right now. I’ll visit when I have time. Maybe early next month. I promise I won’t make any empty promises.”“You know that’s not what I meant.” His hand was still on my shoulder, and he looked straight at me. “It’s not just Rachel who can’t be apart from you. I feel the same way.”I was surprised, and it showed.“Don’t worry. I’ll keep what you said yesterday to myself. Sophie tried to bribe me with food last night, but I didn’t say a word.”He smiled and squeezed my shoulder. “In that case, make sure to come early next month. I’ll ask someone to get your ro

“There won’t be a next time.”I looked at him. “If there’s a next time, you might as well resign from Yonder Trading. The requirements to get in aren’t that low.”Zach stared at me for a moment before he walked away.It looked like I was the big winner. Cecilia had been forced to leave Yonder Trading, and Tyler had shut her out completely. I did not even have to lift a finger, but what did I actually win?Around 8 p.m., I received a call from Rachel. “Cassia, we’re home!” she said happily.“What time is it in Spain?”“It’s still daytime.”“Oh, you still need to take a shower, brush your teeth, and get some sleep,” I said.Then, the camera shifted, and I suddenly saw Cameron. He was shirtless because he was changing.I did not have time to look away. Cameron and I made eye contact through the screen. He laughed in resignation and turned around. “Rachel, don’t you know that Cassia’s a lady and I’m a guy?”“But you proposed to Cassia this morning, didn’t you?”I was speechles

Chapter 196

Zach made his breakup with Cecilia seem real.Cecilia moved out of the house that Zach had given her and returned to her parents’ house.She even went to the office to pack her things, and I ran into her there.Her office was a mess with all kinds of decorations. I asked two security guards to help her move. She was very grateful, and she thanked me over and over. After she was done packing, she came to my office to say goodbye.As she approached, I pointed at the door and said, “You can just talk from there.”She knew that I was pregnant, and I was worried she might try to cause trouble. I felt like putting an electric fence between us.She stood at the door with a humble and meek look. “Cassia, thank you for taking care of me during this time. I’ll be off now.”“Do you have a split personality?” I could not stand her. “You were just cursing me on the phone the day before yesterday. Have you forgotten?”“Let’s not talk about the past.” She lowered her eyes and appeared sad.

Chapter 197

“You’re not drop-dead gorgeous.”I was not happy with that. “Are you saying I’m not pretty?”“In my opinion, you’re not the most beautiful.”“Then, who is?” After I learned that Austin was not into me, I became curious.“Why do you care? I tried calling Sophie earlier, but she didn’t pick up.”“Really? Let me try.”While I called her, I entered the elevator and bumped into Zach as he stepped out.Austin nodded at him, and Zach asked, “Going out for lunch?”“Just the two of us.” I pulled Austin into the elevator. “No extra company.”As the doors closed, Austin shook his head. “When did you get so petty? Besides, Zach didn’t even want to come.”“Better be safe than awkward.” I finally got through to Sophie. “What are you doing? Why didn’t you answer Austin’s call?”“Are you with Austin?” she whispered.“Yeah, we’re grabbing lunch. Spicy shrimp.”“N-No thanks.”“What’s wrong?”“I’m busy. The shop’s packed today.”“Are all your employees dead or something?”“Don’t curse th

Chapter 198

Speaking of Austin’s dad, he was something else. If he lived in ancient times, he would be a king who loved pretty women more than his kingdom.After Austin’s mom died, his dad started partying and dating a lot. He switched girlfriends so quickly that it was like flipping through a calendar. He would have a new date every month.Austin’s grandfather built Jenkins Corporation. After Austin grew up, he took over the company while his dad traveled around and had fun.Everyone had their own way of living, and sometimes, I envied his dad.Austin went all out in business since no one was there to stop him.He took huge risks, but he was lucky and talented. Under his leadership, Jenkins Corporation kept growing.However, I did worry that it might crash someday.When we reached Sophie’s restaurant, she panicked.

Chapter 199

Our spicy shrimp had arrived. So, Sophie grabbed some forks and spoons before she joined us.I ordered two levels of spiciness. Since Austin could not really handle spicy food, I got him the mild one and got Sophie the spicy one.She loved it. I looked at her and said, “Didn’t someone just say they didn’t want to eat?”“Someone? Who?” She laughed.Ugh, Sophie could be so thick-skinned when we were not talking about feelings. But as soon as we brought up relationships, she would get all shy.What a coward.However, just having courage was not enough when it came to feelings.I was brave, and I had always made the first move with Zach, but it did not matter.I still ended up divorcing him.Forget it. There was no use thinking about it.I had not eaten spicy food in a while, so I found even the mild shrimp too spicy. I rinsed it in my grapefruit tea before I ate it. Sophie looked at me in disgust and said, “How can you eat like that?”“Don’t talk with your mouth full.”“Aren’t

Chapter 200

Well, according to Sophie, life was tough.I could not believe that she had come up with something so deep. Unrequited love could really turn a regular person into a philosopher.After dinner, I drove everyone home despite being pregnant.Austin did not drive, and Sophie had a cramp in her foot.When I dropped Austin off at his place, he stood by the gate and asked, “You’re not going to tell Zach I’m interested in Cameron Hill, are you?”“Zach’s not the only person in the world. I have other friends who aren’t worth losing over him.”He nodded and went inside.If I were someone who only cared about love, I would not have any friends left. Life was not just about love, right?I returned to the Gordon family’s mansion, and nothing happened that night.Zach stayed in his study till it was really late, and I fell asleep before he came to bed.Since I was pregnant, I slept deeply. I bet that even if someone threw me out of the house, I would not realize it.The next day, Sophie
