That afternoon, Harvey took Stephanie on a business trip and left that place of trouble.
While I just enjoyed my time hanging out with my best friend in the evening. She complained that I was living too smartly.
That was why a silly beauty like Stephanie caught Harvey's eye.
However, my current attitude was shaped by the weight of past memories.
My mother passed away when I was young and my father never remarried.
From an early age, I was groomed to be the successor in my family, carrying the responsibility of securing our future.
Because of that, I learned early on that softness and vulnerability were obstacles to my progress.
For thirty years, I adhered firmly to the principle.
At first, I thought Harvey would understand, but instead, it drained him and eventually, he stopped loving me.
But that was fine. I never truly loved him either. I had no desire for what was never meant to be mine.
“I went to Collins Group today to take a look at this secretary. At first glance, she looks like your figure, especially her eyes and dimples. They look a lot like you.
