Prev Chapter Next Chapter

My heart suddenly feels panic.

How can Frances be so calm? Perhaps he knows how to deal with Noah?

Everyone around looks over here.

Perhaps Noah thinks that he overreacts as his face darkens. He says, “Let’s talk outside.”

Frances smiles and stands up. Noah and he walk outside together.

I feel worried after Whitney and I look at each other so I follow along with them.

Noah and Frances walk towards a quiet corner and stop.

Noah glares and asks Frances, “You have such a beautiful wife, why don’t you give up on Jane? Even

if you want to look for another woman, with your ability, you can find any kind of woman. Why does the

person have to be Jane? Any conditions you can tell me, I will make sure to satisfy you but please

leave Jane alone.”

The question he asks, it is also a question I've always been curious about.

I am just a normal woman, but why does Frances like me?

Last time when I asked Frances, he did say that I’m an interesting woman. I was clear that it was just a

perfunctory answer.

Frances looks directly at me and replies, “My condition is, you leave her alone.”

Frances does not answer Noah’s questions. As his usual style, he simply makes a request back to him.

Noah’s expression suddenly changes.

At this moment, he cannot hold on the anger inside him since the beginning.

“What an asshole, are you joking with me?!”

Noah throws another fist at Frances.

Frances slowly stretches out his right hand and easily gets Noah under control.

“It’s just you, you think you can hit me the second time?”

Just a single hand, Noah gets under control instantly. I just realize that it is impossible to pick a fight

with Frances.

Whether it is Noah or me.

As he says, in this game if he doesn’t say stop, I have no rights to end.

But what about Whitney? She already knows who I am. Based on her temper, how could she forgive

me easily?

“It’s impossible for me to leave Jane alone, but you as the President of the Louis Group, I believe that

you have done many dirty things, I will find out and ruin your everything! At that time, I will see how you

are going to pester Jane!”

“Whatever.”

Frances replies as he releases Noah.

An idiom appears in my mind. “To strike a rock with egg.”

How could Frances be afraid of Noah?

Whitney seems very unwilling of Frances’s decision. She angrily looks at me and turns another smiley

face towards another direction.

“Frances, are you hurt? Do you want me to bring you to the hospital to check? If there’s any problem,

we can sue him for hurting you intentionally.”

“No need, let’s go.”

Frances shake his head lightly and walks pass by me with Whitney.

Whitney’s head is on his shoulder, both of their actions seem very sweet.

I honestly don’t know how Whitney thinks. Frances has crossed the line, but why does she still love him

so desperately? I couldn’t help wondering whether Frances has done something to her.

As I see the two of them walking away, Noah shouts and slams his fist against the wall.

“Don’t hurt yourself.”, I say.

“I’m useless! I can’t even save my own woman, what kind of man am I!”, Noah angrily replies.

If a real man could speak such words, he must be feeling completely hopeless.

But I feel even more hopeless.

I feel like I have been forced to the edge of the cliff by Frances. If Whitney gently pushes, I will fall from

the cliff and break into pieces.

I do not have any future. Noah should not be tied up with me.

Based on this situation, whether it is Frances or Whitney, they might even do something horrible to him.

“Noah, I will not marry you. Please go home.”
