Rowena Santiagoâs face turned pale as she glared at Valda Theller with resentment. âLetâs wait and see,â she said, before leaving with a look of bittemess.
Valda Theller turned her head and saw two assistants curiously looking in their direction. âAlright, letâs get back to work,â Valda Theller said.
One of the assistants asked, âValda Theller, your great-aunt doesnât seem like the type to give up easily. Shouldnât you prepare for something?â
The other assistant said, âDonât worry, Valda Thellerâs boyfriend is Mr. Hart, a wealthy man. Even if her great-aunt doesnât want to give up, what else can she do?â
Valda Theller pursed her lips. âThatâs enough. Donât say anything about Brian Hart being my boyfriend anymore. Weâve already broken up.â
âBroken up? Valda Theller, is it true?â the two assistants exclaimed in shock.
âItâs true. Now, letâs continue with the painting. If we canât finish it today, both of you will have to stay overtime,â Valda Theller said.
The two assistants looked at each other and quickly returned to their workstations to continue painting.
Valda Theller sat back in her chair and although she didnât know what her great-aunt would do next, she had no intention of compromising.
As Rowena Santiago left the building, she spat towards it with resentment, planning to find another way to force Valda Theller to agree to her demands.
Just as she turned around, a car suddenly pulled up beside her and dragged her into the vehicle.
âWho are you? What do you want?â Rowena Santiago exclaimed in fear.
But no one in the car paid any attention to her.
Half an hour later, when Rowena Santiago saw Brian Hart, she trembled with fear and finally knew who had taken her.
âYouâre here to see Valda Theller,â Brian Hart said coldly âIâ¦I just came to see Valda Theller. I hope she can ask you to spare my husband and son. Iâ¦I didnât do anything to Valda Theller, I justâ¦just said a few words,â Rowena Santiago said tremblingly.
Brian Hartâs eyes turned cold. âIf you had really done something, do you think you could still stand here and talk to me?â
Rowena Santiago broke out in a cold sweat.
âIf Valda Theller doesnât want to see you again, you canât appear in front of her again. The same goes for your husband and son. No matter how many years pass, if you dare to cause her any trouble again, the price you pay will be more than just imprisonment,â Brian Hart said in a calm but chilling tone.
Rowena Santiago was filled with fear and regretted ever causing trouble for Valda Theller. She promised to never appear in front of her again, and neither would her husband and son.
Brian Hart glanced at Rowena Santiago coldly before waving his hand. His men took her away, leaving the room in silence.
Brian Hart leaned heavily against the back of his chair and muttered to himself, âValda Theller, what should I do? I regret letting you go againâ¦â He regretted letting her go and not giving her more time.
He was certain that he would never fall in love with her. But in just a few days, he found himself missing her more and more. She had become so important to him that he would spend entire nights staring at the bed she had once slept in.
âWhy wonât you give me more time? Why are you so sure that I wonât fall in love with you?â he whispered, his voice filled with loneliness.
