Tony frowned, as he saw Molly laugh and then cry. He was shocked by her actions. He knew that Molly
was just an ordinary woman, and that she had been through a lot in a month. Most of the terrible things
would have never happened to her if she hadn't met Brian, yet now, they all fell on her. If it had been
someone else, they might have not been able to bear all this stress.
Molly was still crying. Since she had repressed all her fears and feelings yesterday, she was letting
them all out through her tears now.
Listening to her crying, Brian narrowed his eyebrows deeply. He walked to her almost unconsciously
and stopped in front of her. Then he looked down at her. She seemed to be so lonely, and he found
himself upset at seeing her crying and trembling.
Without raising her head, Molly sensed that someone had walked up to her. Since that person was just
standing by quietly, she had a strong feeling that it was Brian. But at this particular moment, she didn't
want to talk to him. In fact, she wasn't able to think about anything else. All she wanted to do was to
cry.
After a short while, Brian squatted down and reached out his arms to hold Molly. He held her into his
arms without saying anything.
His embrace and the smell of mint were very familiar to her. He was holding her tightly, just like the way
he had done in the black house. Molly felt even more sorry for herself because of what he was doing.
She started to cry harder and harder uncontrollably.
Frowning, Brian fixed his gaze on her again. He realized that there wasn't much he could do to comfort
her except pat her on the back gently and slowly, trying to be extremely gentle.
Even though Brian was trying to comfort her, Molly was not pacified and even cried harder. Leaning
against him, she felt that she had every reason to cry. Since her shoulders were shaking and her nose
was running, her tears and snot were all over Brian's clothes.
"Hey, stop crying!" said Brian anxiously in a low voice. He was vexed because he didn't know how to
comfort a crying woman. He had tried everything he knew to comfort her, holding her in his arms and
patting her on the back gently. Normally, he wouldn't do anything like this. However, despite what he
had been doing, Molly just cried harder.
Right after Brian finished speaking, Molly raised her head and looked straight into his eyes. Before he
knew it, she had pushed him away suddenly. Brian didn't expect that she would push him all of a
sudden, so he fell on the ground awkwardly.
Molly was so sad that she didn't even think it through before she pushed Brian away. She was just
being wayward and she got carried away by her emotions. But when she saw Brian fall to the ground,
she felt a little afraid. There was fear in her sad, wet eyes. She stood up and stepped back in a hurry,
biting her lips and looking at Brian with distrust.
Frowning, Brian looked at Molly coldly and then, he stood up slowly. Molly was stunned by his
indifferent face and took another step backwards. Ignoring what Molly had done, Brian said,"How about
that? You finally stopped crying."
He was in a better mood looking at Molly's embarrassed look. Molly was surprised that he didn't get
angry about her reckless action. "You look terrible. Just go and clean yourself up," he added.
Pursing her lips, Molly looked at Brian with tears brimming in her eyes. Her eyes widened in shocked
disbelief as if she was looking at a monster.
"Go!" shouted Brian in a cold voice. Seeing the look on Molly's face, he became a little upset. "Do you
want me to punish you? Huh?"
Hearing this, Molly left in a hurry. She ran so fast that she almost tripped over herself. Before she went
into the house, she turned around and took a quick glance at Brian again. Then pursing her lips, she
ran into the house.
Brian's lips curved into a slight smile and unknowingly, there was also glitter in his dark eyes. He fixed
his eyes on Molly's back until she disappeared into the house. He withdrew his eyes from her direction
and found that there were tears and snot on his clothes. Frowning suddenly, he took off his suit and
threw it on the ground.
Tony saw all this happen. There was no expression on his calm face, but he had an urge to laugh. He
realized that Brian had changed slightly. Although Brian's character was like his father's, Brian had not
always put on a poker face. However, the look on Brian's face would hardly reveal his true feelings. But
now, Brian seemed to have changed. Tony could tell that Brian had felt sorry for Molly and he was
really trying to comfort her.

In the Presidential Suite of MG Hotel, Shirley stood on the balcony, looking at the hotel's garden. It was
a peaceful winter day, and the garden had borne the seal of gentle decay. Most of the plants were
hidden under the thick clouds, except for the pines. The garden view was partly hidden and partly
visible.
Richie stared at Shirley with resignation from behind. They hadn't spoken a word to each other since
they left the villa.
Shirley's anger grew slowly as each minute passed. Since the man standing behind her didn't say a
word up until now, she became angrier.
'That's fine. Keep silent.
Don't expect me to say anything first. I would rather change my last name than speak first, '
Shirley said to herself with clenched teeth. However, as time passed, she had lost all her patience. She
was never as patient as Richie was.
"Get out, Richie Long," Shirley turned around and shouted sharply. Staring at Richie, she raised her
hand and pointed to the door.
No expression could still be seen on Richie's cold face. Looking at Shirley's angry face, he turned
around and started to walk to the door.
Shirley got even more furious about his action. They had had fights before, but he had never stayed
mad at her if she was in trouble.
Not once.
As Shirley reminisced about the old days, she became more and more furious. Staring at Richie who
had almost reached the door, she shouted without thinking,"Richie Long, I want a
divorce!"
