Editor: Atlas Studios Ethan Laurent stared at her for a while, his gaze as cold as a windy storm, “You can choose not to accept, but this is not a charity.
When you need charity, it will always be available!
Miss Ford, you’d better think it over!”
“Sorry, I refuse!” Summer Ford returned the agreement and the gold card to him without hesitation and turned to leave.
Now, even her body no longer fully belongs to her.
She doesn’t want to lose her last bit of dignity.
Summer Ford’s turn was very decisive; she walked out of the compartment with her back straight, full of backbone, without even glancing back.
Ethan Laurent quietly looked at the gold card in his hand, still warm from her palm, without stopping her.
He doesn’t believe she won’t come back to him; it’s just a matter of time.
In these over twenty years, he has never lost a gamble!
…
After returning, Summer didn’t take Ethan Laurent’s words seriously.
Her life continued as it should, going back and forth between school and the student apartment, not even thinking about that matter.
Now she really hopes someone can help her, if possible, she even wishes she could move out of the Ford Family and never return.
As long as she can escape Ronan Ford’s entanglement, even getting married wouldn’t bother her.
However, she cannot accept being someone’s lover.
Getting married and being kept are completely different; in the former case, at least her dignity remains!
After returning to school, Summer didn’t go out for five consecutive days.
Over the weekend she had an interview for a part-time position at a company called Rousseau International.
A large jewelry design company with businesses spanning Astoria and Eldoria, its jewelry is said to be luxurious, regal, and atmospheric, reportedly custom-made for world celebrities, even royal members from various nations.
She got off at the bus stop near the company and was about to head towards Rousseau International when a black sports car suddenly halted in front of her.
Summer was momentarily stunned, slightly turning her gaze.
“Long time no see, Summer!” The car window rolled down, and Ronan Ford’s face poked out.
“What are you doing here?” Summer asked in shock, feeling a chill down her spine.
What a narrow escape from fate!
She should have checked the almanac before going out today!
Her feet instinctively stepped back a couple of paces, her body turned, and she started to run.
Ronan snorted coldly and drove after her.
Summer was on foot while he was driving a car, the speeds were incomparable.
No matter how hard she ran, even as her vision blurred, the car behind was leisurely cruising, getting closer and closer.
Summer panicked all of a sudden.
What should she do?
What to do?
Not far away, on the street outside Rousseau Tower, a white sports car slowly entered the company’s parking lot, but seemingly noticing something, it quickly withdrew.
The person inside the car shifted their gaze towards the direction where the two were, catching sight of the scene, their lips curled into a mocking smile, not getting out, nor making any moves, just sitting in the car expressionlessly watching.
Summer’s sharp eye caught sight of the person inside the car, her gaze stalled for a moment, and her running steps slowly came to a halt.
Is this fate?
Every time she’s in danger, she always runs into him!
Their gazes met across a few meters, Summer quietly looked at him, seemingly struggling with something, her gaze flickered for a moment and suddenly she walked towards him—
