I never thought that would give people a reason to look down on me. “What era are you even living in? To think you’d still be judging people by their looks.

"What makes you think I would agree?" Gwendolyn's father hesitated. "Nathan, you're a good person. You're soft-hearted. You wouldn't have the heart to watch us suffer." I laughed coldly. "So because I'm a good person, you cooperated with Gwendolyn to deceive me?" "You made me sell my blood, sell my shares.

Taped underneath the last page, nearly invisible. This one read: Trust no one. Not even him. I read it again. And again. And when I looked up… Jeffery was standing in the doorway. Watching me.

As I gave a dry chuckle again, shaking my head slowly, I gave her a sarcastic reply that sliced through the air. Yes, I'm calling you a fool — in fact, a very big fool.
