I staggered backward. The pain in my heart made it hard for me to breathe. I had thought of countless possibilities in the last few days and guessed many people. I was even bent on thinking that Grayson did it.Though who knew that the result turned out to be such a huge slap in the face?This was all indeed a conspiracy against me. They were merely going with the flow and glad to see it happen.Not wanting to stay here any longer, I covered my chest and left the building that made me feel suffocated.What happened next was similar to what I thought.The results of the inspection were out. After conducting an investigation into Grant Corporation, they found no irregularities.The death that happened outside of Mid-Nutri Technology was merely a coincidence. There was no direct evidence to prove that it was related to the company. As for the accounts, I was the one doing it in secret and had to bear all the responsibility for it.Therefore, I was expected to bear the penalties and

After saying that, I looked at the man clad in black, asking, “Where are we going?”I knew Tyler’s character better than anyone. Even if we escaped this time, he would still show up at our doorstep and refuse to let us go. Rather than wait for him to come knocking at our door, it was better to go see what he wanted.“This way, ladies.” The man led us to a cafe on the fourth floor.This place was comparatively quiet compared to the bustling and lively scene downstairs. The renovation was elegantly done, and even the ornaments were intentionally placed. It was clear that the owner was a person of elegance.Cecilia and I exchanged glances with each other, a nervous look in our eyes. We held each other’s hands.The man led us to a private room and made a ‘please’ gesture without even knocking the door.I was about to push the door in when I heard a woman’s voice. “Mr. Tyler, this is your favorite tea. I’ve been saving it for you.”Her voice sounded gentle, yet it did not give the im

“The Louises may not be one of the best among the gentry families in Whaldorf City, but they’re definitely ranked on top. It’s not only because they’re rich but also because several generations of their ancestors were officials.“Grayson is the only exception. He enjoyed fighting since childhood, and although he later started an official business when he grew up, he managed to develop his own power and became a resounding figure.“In his youth, Grayson met Petra, a girl in university who came from the countryside. She came to Whaldorf City to study. It was love at first sight, but the Louises disliked Petra because of her birth origin and refused to let Grayson marry her. The hard-headed Petra left Whaldorf City when she was pregnant. It was said that she returned to Salt City to marry an honest man.“Though who would’ve thought that this honest man turned out to be dishonest? He resented the fact that Petra was pregnant before she got married and dumped the child after she was born

After a pause, she continued, “You don’t have a job now. If you still can’t let go of Theo, then go back and spend the rest of your life with him. Don’t think too much and don’t fuss over everything. If you can let go of him, then get a divorce and we’ll live together. We’ll be away from all of them, okay?”I understood what Cecilia meant by that and knew she was doing it for my own good. However, my heart was still a mess.If I remained in this relationship with Theo, then I would forever live in Cindy’s shadow. I would have to force myself to accept Theo’s love and care for her.However, should I leave just like that? Apart from being reluctant to leave, I felt heartbroken. I did not want my child to grow up without a father like how I had.“You’re not going to give up, are you? Forget it, go and do whatever you want. Just remember to come home when you’re weary one day.” She was helpless yet supportive at the same time.I let out a wry smile without saying a word. I was merely

He was very close to me, and he deliberately brought his head closer when he spoke, making the scene look even more ambiguous.I felt uncomfortable and shifted toward the side with a frown. “It’s no better being with you. I still won’t be able to eat all the same.”“You can treat me like air. Don’t worry, I just want to have a good meal with my sister.” As he said those words, he reached out and tucked the loose strands of hair in front of my forehead behind my ear.His dark eyes swept across the street through the window, looking both provocative and ostentatious. His thin lips were pressed together as he smirked.What was he doing?I followed his gaze and looked over. I could see a familiar car from across the road.Theo!After more than ten days of not seeing him, he had lost a lot of weight and his complexion was pale. Even so, it did not affect his otherworldly good looks and noble, cold aura. He still looked as dazzling as ever that no one could look him straight in the ey
