Cynthia left the hospital.
After returning home, she hid in her room and cried. She had hoped Theodore woulde after her, but he never showed up. Knock, knock.
A series of knocking sounds came from the door.
Cynthia''s heart leapt with joy. Theodore really came! She knew he couldn''t let her go.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.
She quickly wiped the tears from her face, and tidied her hair before opening the door.
However, when she saw the man outside, Cynthia''s expression turned cold. "Why is it you?" Yerick walked in, and mmed the door shut behind him.
"What good is crying here? He can''t see you."
Cynthia clenched her fists. "You said you would help me, yet Theo still abandoned me."
"Didn''t I help you?" Yerick turned around, looking at her with a puzzled expression. "Didn''t I find a heart for you? And the shares of Farover Enterprise. Didn''t I help you get those?"
Now, the main person in control of Farover Enterprise had be Yerick. However, he was using a third-party proxy, so it couldn''t be traced back to him. He was hiding in the shadows as the real controller.
Seeing Cynthia''s defiant expression, Yerick stepped forward and pinched her face. "You''ve got the money, you''ve got the heart, you''ve got your life, and you still can''t let go of Theodore?"
"I''m not satisfied!" Cynthia eximed. "We were almost married, but he abandoned me for that woman! And now there''s another woman by his side, the one named Aurora-where did she evene from?"
Suddenly, Cynthia noticed Yerick''s half-smile. At once, she understood.
"Did you orchestrate everything all along? You brought Aurora to Theo''s side!"
Yerick let go of her face, and poured himself a ss of water. "That''s right. It was me."
"Why did you do this?" Cynthia asked angrily. "What do you want?"
Yerick casually took a sip of water, and said, "It''s fun."
"Fun?" Cynthia rushed forward and shouted, "Your happiness is built on my suffering! Is that what you call fun?"
"It''s your fault. You''re so useless that you can''t even capture Theodore''s heart." Yerick scoffed.
"You..." Cynthia raised her hand to hit him.
However, Yerick caught her wrist and harshly flung her away. "You''re the head of Farover Enterprise now. Starting tomorrow, that news will be made public."
"Public?" Cynthia asked. "Didn''t you say we wouldn''t go public? That we would do things behind the scenes....."
"No, you heard wrong," Yerick said. "I''m in the shadows, while you''re in the spotlight. You''ll do everything I say."
Seeing that Cynthia still had some

doubts, Yerick said lightly, "Don''t you want to show off? Let your father and that sister see that you now have everything. Don''t you want thepany to grow stronger, even to rival SK Enterprise?"
Cynthia asked incredulously, "You think I have that ability?"
Yerickughed. "Of course not."
Cynthia''s expression froze. "Then why..."
"I have that ability," Yerick said casually. "You just need to listen to me." Yerick clenched the ss in his hand, reflecting his cold demeanor.
"SK Enterprise and Alpire Group need anotherpetitor. Compared to having just twopetitors, it''s far more interesting to have a three-way stand-off."
Cynthia wasn''t willing to give in. "Why should I listen to you?"
"Do you think you have the ability to do it on your own?"
Cynthia felt frustrated. "How do you know I can''t do it?"
"You''re already disobedient before we even start," Yerick said with a coldugh.
"We''re partners. You don''t have the right to order me around. Don''t forget, I know what you''ve done. Don''t push it," Cynthia said, unwilling to be a puppet.
"Ah, yes, you have my leverage,"
Yerick said dismissively. "But you probably forgot who secretly reported Rose''s kidnapping, causing her to almost be killed, and who made me kill a few people for a heart. If Theodore knew that the pure and innocent Cynthia was actually this kind of woman, what do you think he would..."
"Shut up!" Cynthia''s face paled. "You have no evidence! Don''t spout nonsense!"
Yerick gently patted her shoulder.

"Cynthia, I''m not someone to be trifled with. Let''s cooperate and to y dirty with me, or I''ll ruin you. Understand?"

Seeing the man''s smiling face, Cynthia felt a chill run down her spine.
