Old Dreams Fade Chapter 9
“Don’t touch her.”Miles’s voice had become steady.Evan looked at the man in front of him, his eyes deeply complicated.There was anger, unwillingness, and a jealousy he could not put into words.“Miles,” he said through gritted teeth, “who do you think you are?”Miles did not move aside.“I don’t care who I am,” he said. “You can’t touch her.”I stood behind him and looked at his straight shoulders. Suddenly, I thought back to the night of the party.He had stood in front of me just like this, clumsy and stubborn.“Miles,” Evan said with a cold laugh.“You really think she likes you? She’s only using you to make me angry.“Clara could have any man she wants. Why would she want an idiot like you?”Miles’s shoulders stiffened.I stepped forward and stood beside him.“Evan,” I said, my gaze turning cold.“He is not an idiot.”Evan’s expression shifted.“He is the one I chose.”Miles’s lashes trembled.He turned to look at me, his eyes shining.Evan’s face drained of color.He opened his

I nearly choked on my tea.“What did you say?”“I’m pursuing you,” he said seriously.“That way, Victor won’t suspect anything. He’d love for me to get close to the Shaws so he can find a way to reach your family’s resources.”I looked at his earnest expression and suddenly had no idea what to say.He smiled first.“Am I smart?”“...Pretty smart.”He smiled, his eyes curving like crescent moons.At that moment, I suddenly realized that when he smiled, there was something clean and boyish in his face.He was already in his twenties, yet he still looked like a kid who had never quite grown up.I looked away and handed him a document.“Sign these.”“What are they?”“Equity agreements.”Miles took them and was about to sign without even reading.“Aren’t you going to look at the terms?”“No need.” He shook his head and was already looking for a pen. “You wouldn’t hurt me.”I watched him write his name crookedly across the agreement, and something in my chest softened.This dummy.The day we

Miles’s eyes widened little by little.“Huh?”He looked so blank and adorably stunned that I could not help laughing.“Victor has been the one in charge of Langford Group all these years, right?”I sat down beside him and softened my voice.“But you may not know everything he’s done.“You handle the fuel trades, so you should have come into contact with quite a few people and deals.“Have you ever wondered why he kept you in that position and wouldn’t let you touch anything else?”Miles stared at me blankly.“I...”“I’m not trying to work with Victor.“I’m going to drag him down. And then...”I paused.“I’m going to put you in his place.”Miles’s breath stopped for a second.The emotions in his eyes churned, shifting from confusion to shock.“You...”His voice trembled slightly, and his throat moved.“Are you serious?”“I don’t joke,” I said.Miles’s eyes suddenly turned red.He lowered his head and blinked hard.It took him a long time before he spoke again, his voice hoarse.“No one

When my phone screen lit up, I was going over the last details of the contract with Miles.“Hello?“Clara, it’s me.”Evan’s voice came through as if nothing had happened.“What is it?”“I received that document. What is this supposed to mean?”“Exactly what it says. We’re ending the partnership. You go your way, I’ll go mine.”There was a moment of silence on the other end.“Clara,” Evan said, his voice softening.“I was wrong tonight. I shouldn’t have embarrassed you in front of so many people.“But you don’t need to drag business into this. You know how important that project is to us...”“I’m not dragging anything into this.”I cut him off, my tone calm.“Evan, do you think I’m throwing a tantrum? That I’ll regret it tomorrow? That I can’t live without you?”He froze.A sharp breath came through the line.A few seconds later, he spoke again, now with a trace of urgency.“That project really is important. If you terminate the partnership at the last minute, what will people say? Do y

Evan’s hand tightened around his glass, his knuckles turning pale.“What did you say?“Shaw Group just sent over the official notice.”The secretary’s voice trembled.“All ongoing projects have been halted. The signed contracts have also been terminated on their end. They’ll pay the penalties in full...”Evan snatched the document from her, his face darkening inch by inch.“Impossible.”He slammed the document onto the desk.“Has she lost her mind? We’re about to get engaged. How can she end the partnership now of all times?”Bianca walked gracefully to his side and said softly,“Evan, Clara may just be angry for the moment. Don’t worry. Once she calms down, she’ll naturally come back.”Evan did not speak. He only stared at the document.“I understand Clara somewhat,” Bianca continued.“She looks cold on the surface, but she cares about relationships more than anyone.“After all these years between you two, how could she possibly let go just like that?”“She must have been upset tonigh

He immediately straightened, his eyes lighting up.“Tell me. I’ll do anything.”That fearless look on his face actually made me pause for a moment.“...Do you have final say over Langford Group’s fuel trades?”The office fell quiet for a few seconds.Miles blinked, as if he had not understood, or as if he had understood but could not believe it.Then he nodded hard.“I do. I do!” he added quickly. “Victor controls a lot of things, but this part is mine!”There was a cautious hint of pride in his voice.I had him sit down. As I applied medicine to his elbow, I listened to him stumble through Langford Group’s industrial layout.He got stuck now and then when he spoke, but once he talked about the part he was responsible for, he was unexpectedly clear and organized.After a long moment of thought, I set down the cotton swab.“Call Victor. Tell him I want to talk.”Miles had been under Langford Group’s surveillance for a long time. He just did not know it yet.Instead of cooperating in sec
