Chapter 64
Marie looked at the mansion building which she had never liked since her first arrival in this place. She hated that place so much that she kept imagining the scenario of burning and destroying the mansion building to the ground, along with its inhabitants, in her mind for years. That place gave her nothing but only bitter memories of the time she was forced to spend two years living in the mansion after her mother died by her dad. The insults she always received from her grandparents and also her father's first half-sister––Arthur Hermann and his family––who always thought of themselves as important people whose existence deserves the respect of others.
Ironically, it was where she was right now. Throwing all her pride to climb the cursed building that she always cursed in her mind. The last time she came to this place was when she introduced Keith to her father's extended family, which ended with an insult to Keith that instantly made her angryRelated chapters

There was no other way to describe how worried he was now other than hearing Marie's answer just now when he called her to find out her whereabouts, after waiting for an hour for her to arrive at his cafe.That his wife was now currently at his wife's grandfather's house. The strangest thing that made him confused. He remembered very clearly how his wife disliked his wife's extended family when he stepped foot for the first time into the house. But why had she just told him that she was there?Why did that woman do it? Did that have something to do with the woman's company, which will soon go bankrupt since her investors began to withdraw their investments in her company one by one thanks to the rumours circulating in the media?
Our Agreement Chapter 66
Cecilia took a sip of the Iced Cappuccino she had just ordered a few minutes ago at Marie's husband's cafe, where she was now. It tasted a little stronger than the Iced Cappuccinos she had had before but she had to admit that this drink had really met to her liking. This was quite surprising, considering that over the years she had visited all kinds of cafes in Rose city, but never once had she come across a barista like Keith Gilbert, who could immediately understand her coffee taste. Only twice had he met her; at her cousin's wedding ceremony, as well as at the Hermann extended family gathering. Supposedly, that was not enough to let the man know her personality to this depth.She took another sip of his coffee after looking around the cafe, scanning everything. The atmosphere was so pleasant, with classical music playing which she did not know because he was not a classical music fan like Marie. She preferred music that has a fast tempo like Linkin Park or The Interr

To be honest, if he were, to be honest, he was attracted to the woman who was approaching him right now. Sitting on the chair in front of him with an expression full of confidence, as if want to tell him that everything was within her grasp. Her long wavy hair and star-shaped earrings made her look a little more reminiscent of Keith's wife, Rosemarie Clark, but a little more masculine. He felt a bit of a strange nostalgic feeling when he saw the woman's face. It felt like they had met before, somewhere. But where? He could not quite remember it."Yes?" he pretended not to hear the woman's words, asking her to repeat what she did without hesitation.“WeChat ID?”The woman nodded confirming his question earlier, took out her smartphone with slender fingers and decorated it with festive-looking nail ornaments, making the movement of the woman's fingers look graceful but did not reduce the charisma that was in the woman.He

Marie clenched her fists. Her anger was already overflowing when she heard the conditions that had just been put forward by her grandfather, looking alternately at her first uncle––Arthur Hermann––who had a savage smile, as well as her grandfather, who was waiting for her answer."How about that? You accept the terms I put forward, and I will gladly help reduce the losses your company has suffered," continued his grandfather, enjoying the desperation that might have been evident in the eyes of the two men. "But well, the choice is yours."She should have expected the result to be like this.By allowing her grandfather to control ninety per cent of her company and not giving her the right to express her opinion in her own company, leaving her position as CEO to her first uncle, who had always been her grandfather's priority? She must have gone mad if she would accept the terms her grandfather had just given to her just now. It was tantamou
Our Agreement Chapter 69
Inwardly, Keith breathed a sigh of relief once they made it out of the Hermann family mansion safely with no harm in their side.His fingers tapped on his thighs, for a moment peeked at Marie, who was still whistling and tapped her slender fingers against the steering wheel with those cold grey eyes looking out the car window, not even seeing him at all. He might have thought that she was still angry with him for what he had just done if he had not seen the relief on her cold face as he entered the room, indicating that Marie was actually relieved to have him there.At least, he had arrived just in time as the two bastards were throwing their threat bombs at Marie.Again, he rubbed the wound at the corner of his lips. He

Sorry, I think I'll take a rain check today. There's an emergency.I'll let you know later XOXOPatricia sighed wearily as she sat in the dining room with her head propped lazily on the dining table, looking at the entire now tidy room. Disappointment overtook her. Even though she had taken the time to clean the entire apartment after she successfully managed to kick Mr Park out of her apartment, imagining what they would do once her girlfriend arrived at her apartment. Of course, not all of them, because there was already a robotic vacuum that helped her clean the floor of her apartment, and also the windows of her apartment already had a feature to clean themselves every ten minutes.It had been more than four hours since she had replied to Au
Our Agreement Chapter 71
Keith heeded the nurse's prohibition not to run as soon as he found Alan sitting with his head bowed and his hand fiddling with the ring around his left ring finger, while the man's lips said a prayer, patting the man on the shoulder as he caught his breath for a few minutes. Alan himself looked relieved to find his presence there, as well as Aura, who had arrived earlier than him and sat on his left.“I've heard from Keith. So how is Tatius' condition?” Marie looked at the emergency room door filled with anxiety that a woman did not usually show to other people. He was confused for a moment, then understood that maybe Marie was thinking about her mother, who died of brain cancer. Perhaps the woman had experienced something similar, so she could understand well the fear Alan was facing now.Alan shook his head
Our Agreement Chapter 72
After spending a few hours visiting Tatius, who was in stable condition but still needed supervision from the heart specialist team at the hospital, he and Marie returned to their home. Marie felt exhausted after having a long and uncomfortable day fell fast asleep in her room as soon as they arrived at their home while he went straight back to his room to open his laptop screen after feeding Larch and making espresso coffee to help him stay awake. His eyes, wearing anti-radiation glasses, read the document Katherine had sent him carefully. This was what made him still keeping Alan as his team even though the man had a character that was easily provoked by his emotions. The man had a lot of social connection networks, making it easy for him to find whatever information he needed without having to grope in the dark. Because there were times, such information could not be found using Aura's ability as a hacker. Katherine had so many documents that need him to spent four hours reading t
