ログインI sighed and closed my textbook.When I arrived at the scene, a huge crowd had already gathered. Many women in the crowd stared with sparkling eyes, just like I once did.After pushing through the crowd, I finally stood in front of Frankie. When he saw me, his eyes lit up."Renee, I knew you'd come!"He rushed toward me in a few quick steps, and the crowd leaned in closer to watch."Frankie, did I not make myself clear enough? Our relationship ended months ago. Stop this childish stunt. It's honestly annoying."My voice wasn't loud, but it reached him easily.His eyes turned red as he kept shaking his head. "No, Renee. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this once. I'm begging you."I stepped forward and looked at the man I had loved for ten years. A strange mix of emotions washed over me."Frankie, go home. Even if Evie never existed, we still wouldn't have worked. All these years, the only person you've ever loved is yourself. You enjoyed my devotion and the help I gave yo
I brushed off the sleeve Frankie had touched with disgust written all over my face. "Frankie, you don't seriously think I'd go back and raise pigs with you again, do you? I must've been out of my mind back then. I gave up my family fortune just to suffer with you. Well, guess what? I'm cured now."There's no future for us, so stop harassing me. And quit clinging to me like this. It's embarrassing."I thought that would finally make him give up. Instead, he suddenly dropped to his knees in front of me and started slapping his own face like a madman."I'm sorry. Renee, I know you're upset because of Evie. Don't worry. I've gotten rid of the baby. There's nothing between us anymore. I swear I'll treat you right for the rest of my life."My eyes widened in shock.Before I could even react, Evie suddenly rushed over.Her hair was a mess, and she looked completely unhinged as she screamed at me, "Renee! I knew it was you! You lost your own baby, so you can't stand the thought of me hav
I let out a sneer and quietly looked at the two people outside the elevator.When Frankie saw the indifference on my face, he froze. For the first time, he realized I meant it when I said I was leaving.Up until this moment, he must have thought I was just acting out for his attention. This time I was louder, but that was all. He had always been that confident. For ten years, he'd had my every emotion mapped out. He was convinced he had me completely under control.However, when he saw me walk away without looking back, panic finally crept into his eyes.The elevator kept beeping, warning that the doors couldn't close, yet Frankie still refused to move his hand."Renee, where are you going? We promised we'd stay together for life. We promised to build something new together. How can you leave before we even get there? I won't allow it! I won't!"The elevator kept ringing. People downstairs were probably already cursing whoever was holding it up.I frowned impatiently and poked F
My words shocked everyone.A curious onlooker picked up the scattered papers and read them aloud, "Owner of the company… Renee Miller… Evie Dotson, formerly a receptionist at a foreign firm…"Evie froze when she heard her resume being read out loud. Panicking, she clung to Frankie's arm and tried to hide in his embrace.The crowd's whispers shifted, and their admiration for the pair evaporated.Frankie stood frozen for a moment. Then, he finally took a step toward me. "Renee, you're serious about this?"I chuckled and turned to Gael. "Mr. Levine, I need your help for two things. First, someone has illegally taken over my company. Second, the trustee's resume has been falsified. I want to pursue damages according to the contract."When Frankie saw that I was acting so calm and unyielding, he finally lowered his head. He draped an arm around my shoulders and said in an almost pleading tone, "Renee, Evie isn't an outsider. There's no need to make a scene. Let's just settle this."I
Frankie's expression, which had been as dark as thunder, softened the moment he saw Evie. "Evie, didn't you say you weren't feeling well? Why are you here?"My hand, which had been resting on the windowsill, froze. In the ten years we'd spent together, Frankie had never spoken to me with such concern. Even when I had a miscarriage and was bedridden, he still found the time to remind me to vaccinate the new piglets.The moment Evie saw Frankie approach, her sharp, venomous expression vanished. In a sweet voice, she cooed, "I just didn't want you to be too overwhelmed with both the pig ranch and the company. I thought I'd come help out to take a little load off your shoulders."Standing behind the crowd, I silently watched their affectionate interaction. A mix of emotions surged within me."You're not listening again. I've told you so many times already. Let me handle the company stuff. When are you going to start listening to me, huh?"As Frankie spoke, he flicked Evie's nose as if
The moment I arrived at the hotel, I got a call from my lawyer, Gael Levine."Ms. Miller, there's been a bit of a situation with the handover at the company. You should come down to avoid any misunderstandings."My heart skipped a beat.At the time, Frankie had refused to take over the trading company because he didn't want to be seen as someone who couldn't make it on his own. So, in order to support him with the pig ranch, I had to find someone else to manage the company.As I recalled that the person managing the company was someone Frankie had recommended, a bad feeling crept over me. I rushed to the office.Sure enough, as soon as I stepped out of the elevator, the front desk was swarming with people."Ms. Miller, you're finally here. This lady says the company is hers and won't let me continue with the process," Gael said while looking to the side.I took a step forward. When I saw Evie sitting in the executive chair, I was too stunned to speak.A fire of rage burned in m
