Jared noticed how pale | had gotten, and his mocking smile faded. He said calmly, “I'm just being honest with
you. Whether you keep dealing with him or
not is up to you.”
“What else do you know? Con. Just tell me. | need to know what to watch out for,” | said, reaching out to
block his way as he tried to leave..
| didn’t even understand why | was so restless. Ryan’s whole situation was makinguneasy. | might not do

“Jared, don’t be so stingy. | know you're hiding something,” | blurted out as I grabbed his finger before realizing
what | had done.

Jared shuddered, staring down in disbelief at his finger in my grip.

fingers around with a tight grip.
| jumped in surprise and tried to pull my hand free.
Jared's face went cold as he stared atand said, “Victoria, you really know how to hit where it hurts, don’t
you?
“I tell you to stay away from him, but you are trying to getto talk more about him. Have you ever thought
about how that makesfeel?”
His palm was so warm, and for a moment, it brought back memories of how things used to be between us.
“Alright, forget it. | won't ask anymore. Just let go of my hand,” | said, realizing | might've been a little harsh on
Jared.
“So, to you, I'm just a stranger now?” Jared asked, still holding my hand tight with pain written all over his face.
“Victoria, you always say I'm heartless, but if anyone’s cold-hearted here, it's you.”
“I'm not,” | retorted, and when he still felt down, | yanked my hand free and dropped back into my seat.
“Honestly, plenty of married couples share a bed but live separate lives. We're divorced, so acting like polite
strangers is pretty normal, isn’t it?”
Jared gave a dry, sarcastic laugh. “If you're so desperate to know about Ryan, why don’t you just ask him
yourself?” With that, he turned and walked
away.
| sat there in a daze, trying to make sense of everything. Ryan was the important heir, whose whole life was tied
to his grandfather's protection.
Since Jared said he was dangerous, | might stay away from him for now. Still, I just hoped he could go through
difficult times.
| could’t stop thinking about the way Jared had gripped my fingers earlier. The look in his eyes was so intense,
like he was barely holding back a flood of

Yvonne nodded eagerly. “Yeah, | just want to grow up faster.”
“Why is that?” | asked, surprised.

“Mom, if Dad marries someone new, will they have kids? Will | get a little brother or sister? If that happens, does
that mean Dad’s money will go to them, too?” Yvonne mumbled, her head hanging down.
| just stared at her, stunned. “Who told you all this?”
Yvonne's voice wavered as tears rolled down her cheeks. “I just guessed. I'm not a little kid.
“There's a boy in my class who said he’s going to take over his dad’s company when he grows up. Then he asked
