Randall began to contact Harrison frequently after he had a falling out with Donald. With Yaacob acting as the middle person, it stood to reason Harrison welcomed Randall with open arms. Plus, Randall's resources and connections would only make Harrison even more powerful, no matter who he sided with.Adding to the fact that Randall beat up Barry when he rescued Rowena, he had made himself an enemy of the Hardin family. After that, Donald said that he would crack down on the criminals working in the gray area in an interview, and everyone knew he was actually talking about Randall.However, Randall did not work in the gray area; all of his investments were of legitimate businesses. The ones that Donald had cracked down on were not really that important to Randall, so he was able to let them go without even batting an eye.Donald had not expected Randall to be able to wash his hands off his shady businesses completely. As furious as he was, there was nothing he could do about it. To

Rowena had already seen Johnny on the night Randall dropped her off at home. Also, she was able to gather from her parents that Johnny was her first love. However, her parents had no clue why they divorced because they did not really know what was going on in their marriage.It was just that they never approved of Johnny. They thought him a good-for-nothing who got to where he was by leeching off his ex-wife. The difference between him and Randall, who got to where he was by his own effort, was like night and day.Not to mention, Rowena's parents knew she was still hung up about Johnny, so they would often gripe about her bad taste in men, prompting her to mistakenly think she was the one who caused her marriage with Randall to implode. Otherwise, why would her parents have nothing but praise for Randall? In fact, it seemed like they would prefer to have Randall as their son rather than Rowena as their daughter."I apologize if I've ever done anything wrong to you in the past, but y

Lola was busying herself in the kitchen when Randall arrived home. She immediately smiled and said, "Randall, I want to personally cook something for you today. It's going to take some time, so why don't you do something else first?"Randall paused when he saw the eggplant she was slicing. "These vegetables…""Are all harvested from the vegetable garden out the back. Don't they look fresh and yummy? I really am impressed by your green thumb." Lola sliced the eggplant into pieces before glancing at him and asking, "What's the matter?""Nothing… Did you pick out your own present?""Yup. I'll show you later," said Lola with a wink. She then shyly chased him out of the kitchen, so he thought he would go to the second-floor balcony to read a book.Lola was a sweet-looking girl, and she knew how to use that to her advantage. She was completely different from Rowena, who was cold and unfeeling; she knew when to smile and when to act shy and weak to stir up a man's protective instinct. Ho

By eleven o'clock in the morning, the customers in the shop gradually lessened as it was at the tail end of the peak hour.The sales assistant touched Rowena's arm and reminded her, "Ms. Sanders is still here. Should we call her boyfriend to pick her up?""I don't know.""How can you not know? Didn't you say that she's here for you? Just what the hell is going on?"Rowena continued to shake her head resignedly. She then glanced at Lola, who was seated in the rest area. The latter still looked the same as she did earlier that morning. Truth be told, Rowena was quite impressed by her.'She was so radiant and beautiful when she came in yesterday… and yet she can remain unperturbed by all the strange looks people are throwing at her now. She's willing to endure all this to make me plead her case to Randall. She must really love him,' thought Rowena.At least for Rowena, even if a man abandoned her, she would not make herself so miserable just to get him back. After all, no one in thi

"Rowena, don't you recognize me?""Sorry, you are?""Anna Yale!""Sorry, I was terribly sick for quite some time, so I kind of lost some of my memories."To Anna's credit, she was not as immature as she was back then, so she simply smiled resignedly and said, "I see.""Although I don't remember you, I'm still the person that you can count on. If there's anything you need, I'm here to help," said Rowena."Thank you. By the way, that person out there really is my husband." Anna lowered her head and coaxed the babies in her arms. Her frown seemed like it was etched deep on her forehead.Rowena was worried about this miserable-looking young lady. "Is he bullying you? Did he beat you? Or is he having an affair?"Anna shook her head. "No, he killed my father, and forced me to be with him."Rowena fell silent. She did not expect Anna to be so honest with her, telling her such shocking yet personal matters.'Seems like we're quite close in the past. Too bad there's nothing I can do f
