"Alex?” There had been a total of a hundred guests in the entire restaurant. No one had dared to call him Alex Poole; even Mister Poole was considered a bold way of addressing him. Most people there referred to him as ‘Master Alex’, and yet, the pregnant woman went and called him by his first name. She refused to comply when Alex begged her to go back with him earlier, and now she regretted it as soon as he left?‘Ha! She had gone too far by playing hard to get. There isn't a woman that's truly that noble and prideful; it was all just for show!’ they thought.Since she had gone too far with her plots, everyone was desperate to see what might happen to the deadbeat pregnant woman.The pregnant woman ran out frantically, supporting her belly, as the people behind her who were there to welcome Alex followed closely after her. They all wanted to watch her make a fool of herself in the most dramatic way possible. Among those people, ninety-nine percent of them thought that for a man like

Hearing Alex's low and hoarse voice only deepened the blush on Jane's face. She knew distinctly that Alex was flirting with her, and though she did not feel the same, she felt nothing but a sense of security.She had been with Alex for seven years, and she had always known that he had a good temper. If not for Alex breaking her heart overnight, Jane would have still considered him as someone with a great personality. The reason why she had completely given up on Alex was partly because of the fact that he chased her out of his house out of the blue, but there was more to it that she had never mentioned or told anyone; it was because she felt pained by the love Alex had for Lily. Seven, almost eight years of companionship, through riches and difficulties, they ate and lived together, day and night, but none of that compared to a woman from across the world. Jane was tossed out mercilessly as soon as that woman came back, and that was the main reason that Jane lost hope.Twenty days ag

Being called out by Alex had Ivy falling on her knees in fear. She started bowing her head over and over again. "Please spare me, Master Alex!" She never would have imagined that the pregnant woman would have the capability to turn the tables.Alex did not bother with Ivy's pleading and shouted at the driver ahead, "Garrett, where are those people that you buried from last time?""Master Alex, they are buried at the field in the West--""Alex!" Suddenly, Jane interrupted him."What is it, Jane?" he asked gently."Alex, back in those two nights and one day that I spent at Huron's, it's true that when everyone was bullying me, this young lady gave me a piece of bread so that I didn't starve. But when she asked for my help, I didn't save her. It's okay. I don't hold grudges against her. There's no need to kill for my sake." Jane paused for a moment before adding, "That woman who got mad at me back in the restaurant as well. I don't want to care about her. It's fine. I just want to se

Never had Jane imagined that she would wake up to arrive at the place where her lover Noah had died. Noah passed away merely a month ago, just before his body completely decayed.‘No, is his body still here?’ she thought, as she stumbled toward the spot where Noah had fallen. Before she could take off, Alex grabbed onto her arms and said, "Slow down. Don't injure yourself."He supported her weight from behind gingerly, like he was offering his arms for a queen. She did not pay attention to a word he said and hurried over to the other side. The sound of someone wailing was heard even before they arrived and Jane noticed that it was her mother's voice.The old lady's voice was getting closer and closer. "What could an old hag like me do to deserve this?? My grandson died, and now my son. My son… Mommy has arrived late. Why couldn't I have died in your place?"The wailing was getting closer and, after making a turn, Jane saw a group of workers in jumpsuits working. If she was not wr

"Wh--What did you just say?" Emma could not believe that those were the words coming from Jane. Though her father and uncle were in a feud, Emma was still a member of the Poole family.‘I am still Alex's cousin. His cousin! I was polite enough to say hi to her and she’s asking me to get away?’ she thought.In the past seven to eight years, Emma had never spared a moment looking at Jane properly. No one knew better than Emma in the Poole family and all of Kidon City that Alex would never marry Jane. Jane was just nothing but a tool to him. Merely a tool.Emma had mentioned to countless ladies of wealthy families in the elite community of Kidon City, saying, "Just wait and see! Someday my second cousin is going to dump that woman Jane. If my cousin and Lily can’t make things work, I will introduce him to you."Those words were the reason why Emma managed to become the most powerful woman in Kidon CIty for a time. However, her cousin Alex had overpowered her father Axel's position in
