Too Meticulously nned After some hesitation, I asked, “Why are you treating me so


    well?” As smiled at me before ruffling my hair.


    At that moment, my world felt bright again.


    He was skilled at flirting, and I felt he had enchanted me.


    “Because I like you.


    Is that okay?” As asked.


    My face lit up when he said that.


    Although I was married, his charisma affected me.


    I couldn’t believe it when he said he liked me.


    Such sweet nothings might work on young and innocent girls, but my daughter was almost old enough


    to understand what love was.


    I knew my marriage was ending, and I would soon be divorced.


    Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    However, the outstanding man before me told me he liked me.


    Even I could sense the irony of the situation.


    As noticed my silence and pulled me into his arms.


    “Why do you always torture yourself by overthinking everything? There can be countless reasons to


    like someone.” I rolled my eyes, freed myself from his grasp, and enjoyed the delicious meal.


    It would be a waste not to savor it.


    He watched me relish the food with a smile.


    I had to admit my mood suddenly became better.


    When we finished eating, he called for the server to clear the table and exined the documents.


    He said they were aprehensive n for crucial projects.


    However, ATL Empire had already outsourced one part to Ardora Construction.


    My eyes widened when he mentioned thatpany.


    I asked him in a whisper, “Ardora?” He nodded with a profound look.


    I knew Ardora Construction was thepany Matthew had registered under Mnie’s name.


    I had a strange feeling that As had nned everything too meticulously.


    It was as if he had carefully designed everything to push me forward.


    I had no room to retreat, which meant losing everything and giving up on exposing Matthew’s true


    colors.


    Still, moving forward was risky, and I felt like something was driving me toward this direction.


    Ultimately, I had no choice.


    Although I suspected As of orchestrating everything, I couldn’t see his true intentions in helping me


    wondered if it was because he hiked” me and felt a chill running down my spine, struck a deal with


    Ardora Construction to make it your stepping stone.


    Use it to achieve your goal of Aking everything from them.


    I didn’t respond because my mind was a mess, so he continued.


    “Yourpany can take this project, and you can use it to repay Urban Builders‘ favor.


    You don’t want to owe Fred too much, right?” I asked curiously.


    “Are you saying I can take this project with thepany registered under my name?” “Why else did


    you set up apany then? Just to intimidate others? As countered.


    “If you don’t take this project, how will you take everything from the Murphys? Tanum Corporation is


    already an empty shell now.” I froze at how well he nned these moves I could already see Matthew


    heading toward a bottomless Dit As looked at me while I was in a daze and pulled me into his arms.


    Then, he gently kissed my forehead, saying.


    “Maybe you should take some time and get some rest before considering your options” With that, he


    ced the room card on the coffee table and left the room.


    I was alone in the empty room, and the silence was overwhelming As’s perfect revenge n scared


    me somewhat I didn’t know if excitement or clear sight of Matthew’s fate made me uneasy.


    Regardless, my heart raced.


    What troubled me the most was As’s feelings for me.


    No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find a reasonable exnation.
