Jordyn’s sobs stopped abruptly, her eyes filled with grievance. “rk, my feelings for you are genuine.”
The thought of her scheming made rk feel a <b>surge </b>of disgust. “What’s your ‘genuine feelings‘ worth?”
He pulled out a bank card and tossed it on the table, his expression <b>cold</b>. “There’s 300,000 dors on this card. Take the money and get an abortion. Otherwise, I’ll have my bodyguards drag you to the hospital. You know what to choose.”
Jordyn hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the card with trembling hands and ran out of the restaurant
in tears.
rk called his bodyguards to make sure they followed her to the hospital, then hung up in frustration. Upon seeing the photo of N on his screen saver, his expression softened. Without much hesitation, he called her.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
It rang for a long time before she answered.
“What do you want?”
N’s cold tone was like a bucket of ice water, instantly cooling rk’s previously warm heart from thinking of her. He clenched his phone tightly, trying to hide his disappointment. “Nothing, just wanted to hear your voice. Have you eaten?”
N’s eyes shed with sarcasm, rk was with Jordyn and still had time to think about her–he really was a multitasking master.
“I’m eating now. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.
There was a brief silence on the other end before rk’s deep voice came through. “Okay. I won’t workte tonight. Let’s have dinner together when I get home.”
The only response rk got was the sound of the call ending
In the private room.
Vrie spoke angrily after N put down her phone, “He’s such a scumbag! Eating with his mistress while calling to ask about you!”
She used to think rk was one of a kind and believed he would make <b>N </b>happy.
N picked up the menu, her eyes downcast. “Let’s not talk about him. It’ll ruin my appetite. Let’s order,”
Seeing N try to stayposed, Vrie felt a pang of sympathy. She knew that when <b>it </b>came to matters of the heart, only time could heal. No amount of words from others would help.
Luckily, N was clear–headed and had no ns to forgive rk.
After ordering, they chatted casually.
Suddenly, Vrie remembered something. “By the way, I heard Prospectus Technology is nning to invest in Park Pharmaceuticals. If I remember correctly, Prospectus Technology’s CEO, Damon Summer, is rk’s uncle, right?”

N paused at Damon’s name, gripping her ss a bit tighter as she recalled the heat of his breath on her ear that night. The invasive feeling still made her shudder. She forced the <b>memory </b>away and replied with
a hum.
“Do you want to consider applying to a differentpany? It’d be awkward to see the Summers if you divorce rk.”
N shook her head, setting down her ss. “Even if I join Park Pharmaceuticals, I’ll just be a regr pharmacist. He wouldn’t notice me. Besides, rk and his uncle aren’t close.”
Moreover, rk was the one who had cheated. If anyone should avoid awkwardness, it should be the
Sumners, not her.
“Since they aren’t close, can you ask his uncle for help with the divorce?”
“Even if they don’t get along, they’re still both Sumners. Do you think he’d help me?”
“Good point…” Vrie sighed, looking disappointed.
N couldn’t help but chuckle. “Divorce isn’t something that can be rushed. Right now, my priority is finding a job and moving out. The rest will follow.”
“Alright, I’ll take the afternoon off to help you look for a ce.”
“No need. I can handle it.”
Vrie nodded reluctantly. “Fine, but call me if you need anything. Move on a weekend, and I’lle help
“Don’t worry. I won’t hesitate to ask when I need you.”
After lunch, they parted ways at the restaurant entrance.
N contacted several agents and looked at a few ces, preferring a one–bedroom apartment that was over 60 square meters. She liked the decor and location, but the rent was steep.
Considering her dwindling bank bnce, she decided on a cheaper apartment farther from downtown. Despite that, she chose to wait for the interview results from Park Pharmaceuticals before signing the
lease.
It was past 6:00 p.m. when N returned to the vi.
rk was sitting in the living room. Hearing the door, he looked up and was momentarily stunned.

N wore a light green dress with her hair in a high ponytail, revealing her slender, fair neck. She looked put together <b>and </b>lively with a hint of yfulness.
Since their wedding, she had to attend events with him and adhere to the standards of a wealthy wife even at home. Once, rk’s mother visited and criticized her for wearing casual clothes and a bun at home, and she never tied her hair up like that again.
<b>rk </b>had to admit that this lively version of N was far more attractive and captivating than the version restrained by the Sumners‘ rules. Yet, alongside his attraction, a sense of unease crept in, as if she could
leave him at any moment.
“Where did you go today? Patricia said you left right after breakfast.”
N changed her shoes as she responded. “I went job hunting”
“Whichpany? Do you need me to make a call for you?”
N f
frowned at him. “This is nty business. I don’t want you involved<b>.</b>”
If he intervened, it would be no different from being under his watchful eye at the Sumner Group.
Seeing the resistance in her eyes, rk felt hurt. “N, I just want to help.”
“Thanks, but no thanks.” She walked past him, heading upstairs.
As she passed the sofa, rk grabbed her wrist.

In the next second, a bouquet appeared in front of her. It was <b>the </b>same Juliet roses he had given when he confessed his love. The flower symbolized a protective, pure, sincere, selfless, and evesting love. Since then, she had only bought these flowers from the florist..
Now, seeing the fresh roses, N felt nothing but irony. Her marriage with rk, tainted by his infidelity. no longer deserved words like “sincere” and “evesting“.
Upon seeing her silence, rk’s voice softened. “I passed by a florist today and thought of getting you some flowers.”
N pulled her hand away, looking him in the eye. Her gaze held nothing but disgust, impatience, and coldness–no trace of love remained. “No need. I never liked these flowers,<b>” </b>
