"You don't need to explain to me what happened between you and him. Whatever you want to do is your freedom; however, I hope you think of me." His voice was cold as he started the car and drove straight out of the garage.Clarice didn't know what to say when she heard his words, so there was an even longer period of silence.The atmosphere in the car became heavy, and from time to time, she turned her head to look at Edward's expression, only to realize that he always pursed his lips, and his expression was as cold as his tone of voice."Are you angry with me?" After an unknown amount of time, she finally couldn't bear the oppressive atmosphere and asked. Edward said nothing, but his face was extremely dark. Clarice knew he was genuinely angry, but she didn't understand why he was angry. "You know about my relationship with Nicholas. I came to see him today because..." She was about to explain the reason for being in Nicholas's office today, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Edward

"If I recall correctly, Miss Armani should be Mr. Murray's wife. Does he know about you having such a relationship?" John didn't listen to her explanation. His gaze was fixed on her as if he could see clearly through her soul and body."No, he doesn't know. You must not tell him about this." Mary knew that she had completely messed up by reaching this point. Antony had clearly run away with the money, leaving this mess for her. If Nicholas found out that she had deceived him due to her divorce, using such a crude scheme and playing with him, he would not only be angry but probably wouldn't believe her if she tried to play a prank in front of him in the future."So Antony is really a cute boy you've raised." Obviously, John's understanding of the main point was different from what she expected. Once Mary said those words, it was equivalent to confirming the relationship between her and Anthony."No... No, you misunderstand..." Mary was so anxious that she almost

"Return the money? Miss Armani, do you think money can solve the issue between us?" John's mouth curved upward, and he suddenly leaned forward, his beautiful face tilting towards her, and a warm breath landed on her face."I've already told you, you don't need to return the money, just consider it payment for your beautiful body. From today onward, throughout the entire year, all your nights will be mine. After all, you wouldn't want people to see us in broad daylight, would you?""You filthy scoundrel!" Mary felt insulted, and her lips began to tremble with anger. Her large eyes stared at him for a moment."You're so kind to me!" John looked at her with a smile, completely unbothered, and Mary clenched her teeth. She had never met such a shameless person before. "You don't need to think too much. I definitely won't agree to your request." If the tiger didn't show its strength, did he really think she, Mary, was just a kitten? "You don't agree? Then, I'll call Markus right away and as

"Are you so afraid that he'll get hurt, but what about me? Can I screw myself over for you?" Edward looked at her as if he were hearing a joke, but Clarice didn't say anything. "In your heart, am I so inferior to him, Clarice?""Edward, I didn't mean that!" Clarice shook her head in panic; she never meant to imply that."If that's not what you mean, then what is it? It's my business who I want to cooperate with and what I want to do. Please respect my decision as much as I respect yours!" Edward spoke, turning away to the table. "It's getting late; you can go rest." When he asked her to leave, it meant he didn't want to hear anything more from Clarice.Clarice turned and left the room, a bit disappointed, but understanding that there was no way to stop Edward now.The sky gradually turned cold, and when the first snow fell, it had been five months since the child grew in Clarice's belly. Gretta was very nervous, calling a doctor to examine her thoroughly every week. Filippo's days at

"No... you... I... this matter is quite complicated to discuss. Your mother and I don't want to hide it from you, it's just that... we feel it would be better if you didn't know." Hearing that he wanted to look for someone, Clarice responded immediately. "So, it seems true that my father is with someone, and it has affected my mother!" Edward interrupted, surprising Clarice. "How do you know?" Hearing this, she suddenly raised her head and stared at him. "Who is this woman?" Edward didn't answer her question but instead countered with another question. Clarice lowered her head, not daring to say that name. "Okay, I'll get someone to investigate!" Edward spoke as he turned to leave, and seeing this, Clarice knew she could no longer hide this matter from him and shouted, "Wait a moment.... I... I'll tell you everything..." Only then did Edward stop walking, turned back to the side of the bed, and sat down, looking at her, waiting for her to tell him the truth. "Your father does have ano
