Chapter 1135
"If the heroine saves the CEO, will he forgive her deception? She's not pure, kind-hearted, and gentle
he thought she was, but a bloodthirsty female assassin."
"Why wouldn't he?" Beverley said, "If two people love each other, they can work through any conflict.
Leopold and Aurelia were separated for three years because of a misunderstanding. Aurelia ended up
with Arnold and gave birth to William. Leopold didn't mind and still won her back."
"Believe in the power of true love that can conquer all. As long as both people are still alive, there's
hope. The only thing that can separate two people in love is death. If the one who loves you dies, they
can't love or protect you anymore. You can't ever meet again, not ever. Isn't that a terrifying thought?"
Aurelia picked up the thread, "The heroine is pregnant, right? So she can't risk the rescue. That would
be too dangerous. She just needs to coordinate from behind the scenes, and let the CEO's younger
brother handle the rescue. Both the hero and the heroine need to stay alive. I insist on a happy
ending."
Lisbeth twisted her heart in anguish. Flashes of memory swept before her eyes like a series of close-
ups in a movie, overwhelming her. They were all of Raines, his tenderness, indulgence and charming
smile... They crashed over her like waves and blades cutting through her heart. She clenched her teeth
against the pain, a cold sweat breaking out on her forehead. Her fingers trembled so violently that she
knocked over a glass of juice on the table.
The juice spilled, staining her skirt. She stood up hastily, "I need to run to the restroom."
Watching her stagger away, Aurelia sighed, "I believe she loves Raines."
The card game in the gazebo broke up.
Raines was dark and brooding in his expression. His plan had been flawless, yet he hadn't accounted
for Nina's cunning, which had led to his undoing.
Fredric walked over and clapped him on the shoulder, "Raines, what's meant to be will be. In the
Stirling family, united brothers are as strong as a fortified metal. We can't fight against each other. Don't
harbor any inappropriate thoughts. If you need help, just ask, and Leopold will sort it out."
Raines shrugged nonchalantly, "I just want good health, nothing more."
"That's good. Health can't be rushed. You need to recover slowly," Fredric said with a smile, always one
to offer an olive branch before resorting to the sword. If Raines could see the error of his ways, he was
willing to give him another chance.
Raines ground his molars together unseen.
He didn't believe in fate, only in himself. Raines refused to believe that these people could always slip
through his fingers. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Leaving Magnolia Heights and on his way back to Rosette Garden Estates, his expression was
extremely solemn.
"Fredric and Leopold are starting to suspect me. We need to be very careful for a while, no rash
moves."
"I understand," Lisbeth murmured softly.
"Have you noticed any suspicion from Aurelia? You've been around her a lot," Raines probed.
Lisbeth shook her head, "No. She seems quite naive, not as scheming as you'd think."
Raines snorted, "If she was that naive, she would've been taken out by Megan long ago. How could
she have turned defeat into victory?"
Lisbeth replied, "Megan failed because Leopold never trusted her from the start. He never liked Megan
and only wanted to get rid of her. It doesn't matter how clever you are if a man doesn't like you."
