I looked at this man I’d loved for fifteen years, unable to hide my own bitterness. “Even if you’re kicking a dog, there’s no need to humiliate it this badly.”
Thomas’s face shifted uncomfortably and he quickly backpedaled. “Fine, just as long as that’s the case.”
Just then, his secretary came over with a project contract for him to sign.
Years of business experience told me immediately that this was a deal that would cost him, not benefit him.
But when I saw that Jessica was listed as the beneficiary, I couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. “For the sake of a woman’s smile, you’re willing to disregard the family’s interests? Imagine how heartbroken your father would be if he knew.”
“You don’t need to worry about that.”
Thomas’s gaze was like a knife laced with poison, sinking deep into my chest.
“We’re divorced now, so stop trying to get close by bringing up my dad every time.”
"Jessica is my future wife. There’s no need to talk about giving her a discount. If she wanted my entire billion-dollar fortune, I’d give it to her without a second thought—handing it over with both hands, no questions asked."
