    rence blushed a little as he pretended like he had not heard her. “Did you say something, Cecilia?”


    “I said, why didn’t you just do me?” Cecilia raised her voice.


    ?


    “Tsk—!”


    rence stepped on the brake, almost choking in disbelief.


    “Drive carefully.” Cecilia rolled her eyes at him.


    Was she trying to act coy?


    “Cough cough.”


    rence looked so lost and helpless. He restarted the Ferrari and continued his drive once more.


    Cecilia then suddenly asked him, “Lil Bro, do you want to hear my story?”


    “Tell me, Cecilia, I’m listening.” rence nodded.


    Cecilia then began telling rence her story.


    She had met Chadwick while they were both in university. Cecilia had been one of the members of the university’s student council.


    Chadwick was from a poor family. They met each other during a student union event, and that was when Chadwick then began his crazy pursuit for her. He chased after her for almost a whole year. His persistence and relentless effort finally moved Cecilia, so Chadwick managed to earn and keep this beauty to himself.


    They married after graduating, and their rtionship became a hot topic all across their ex-campus.


    Chadwick naturally became the son-inw to the Wonder Group’s chairman after his marriage, so he delved into real estate.


    However, the man went crazy the moment he got rich. When Cecilia found out that he was cheating on her, the two of them argued about getting a divorce.


    She would never have expected that Chadwick would actually kick up such a ruckus just because he wanted a share of her family’s riches.


    Thankfully, rence was the man that Chadwick chose to drug. Had it been another man, then what would he have done to Cecelia?


    After she finished her story, Cecilia looked at rence and asked, “Lil Bro, what about you? What’s your story?”


    rence sighed and replied, “I’ve been an orphan since I was a young boy. I grew up in an orphanage, and one day, I managed to save Miranda’s grandpa from a car ident.


    “A few minutester, the car exploded… so it could be said that I saved his life.


    “Before he died, he wanted us to marry each other, so that’s how I became the son-inw of the Murphy family.


    “I was mocked and humiliated by the entire Murphy family for three whole years after my marriage. I thought that it might end one day if I just tolerated it.


    “However, Miranda and her first love have now gotten back together again, and he even proposed to her right in front of me.”


    renceughed bitterly.


    Cecilia’s eyes softened a little. She extended her soft and supple hand to hold rence’s, their fingers interlocking.


    rence suddenly felt a weird feeling swell up in his heart.


    “Lil Bro, why don’t you just divorce her ande live with me? I’ll have to get divorced too, sooner orter.”


    Cecilia sounded half-serious about it. rence wanted to tread lightly.


    rence said awkwardly, “Cecilia, I see you as my sister, truly.”


    “Is that so?”


    Cecilia did not believe him. She pouted and said, “Men are the biggest liars.


    “If I’m like a sister to you, then why did you do those things to me while we were in the suite?”


    “Ahem, wasn’t I drugged back then?” rence quickly countered.


    Just then, they came to a stop just outside Cecilia’s mansion.


    Cecilia continued, “Lil Bro, why don’t youe stay with me… We can finish what we started earlier, hm?”


    rence knew that she was deliberately teasing him.


    He decided to y along and grabbed a hold of her arm, eyes scanning her body. Her shirt was torn in a few ces, revealing her snow-white skin underneath.


    “Alright then, Cecilia. I guess I’m still feeling a little warm, so I need to release some steam,” renceughed teasingly.


    “Darn you.”


    Cecilia chided him yfully and lightly smacked him on the head. “Quiet, my period hasn’t finished just yet.”


    rence chuckled and swiftly got out of the Lamborghini.


    Cecilia looked at rence’s back and curved her lips into a smoldering smile as her eyes twinkled. ‘You’re really naughty, aren’t you!’


    rence left Cecilia’s area and hailed a cab.


    When he arrived home, it was already dark.


    rence walked into the mansion and turned on the lights. Suddenly, he saw Miranda was sitting on the sofa.


    “You’re home.”


    “Why didn’t you turn on the lights? It’s dark outside.” rence frowned.


    Miranda was pale and her eyes were bloodshot. It looked like she had just cried. “I couldn’t find you anywhere and your phone was off.


    “I waited for you here, but I didn’t realize that it was already nighttime. I forgot to turn the lights on.”


    “Okay... why did you wait for me, though?”


    rence’s voice was colder than ever. “Someone proposed to you today, so now you’re here to ask me for a divorce?”


    Miranda exined, “rence, it really isn’t what you think it is. I didn’t tell you that I was going to see Sheldon because I was afraid you might overthink things.


    “I went to see him just to ask him not to harass me anymore.


    “I really don’t know why he suddenly took out a diamond ring and proposed to me!”


    rence was slightly moved. Had he really misunderstood her this whole time?


    rence knew Miranda was a prideful woman, so he believed that she would never lie about something like this.


    Besides, if she really wanted to be with Sheldon, then she could simply divorce rence. Why would she bother lying to him if that was the case?


    “Really?”


    rence looked at the woman suspiciously.


    Miranda nodded. “It’s true, please believe me.”


    rence breathed a sigh of relief. “Alright then, I believe you.”


    Miranda rxed too. The big misunderstanding was finally resolved.


    At that very moment, Miranda’s phone rang.


    “Miranda,e to the hospital right now! Mom got into an ident.” On the other side of the line was Belle’s anxious voice.


    “What? Mom was hit by a car?!” Miranda’s body shuddered in deep distress. “What happened?”


    Just then, rence’s phone rang as well.


    “Master Howard, please save me!


    “I have to admit defeat this time! I was beating that guy up in the Sheraton alongside Jeremy, and they caught me. They’re about to finish me off!” Johnson was begging for help.


    rence frowned and asked, “What’s going on? Who’s going to kill you?”


    Johnson exined, “I don’t know him either, but he’s an old man from Beth City, and he’s at the Hayes’ residence right now.


    “Jeremy has his family to support him, but I have nothing!


    “Master Howard, pleasee over and save me. You just saved Old Master Hayes, surely you can help get me out of this.”
