Jackson stormed into the apartment furiously.
“What's wrong? | got beaten by my dad because of you!”
“How is that possible? Your dad dotes on you. He would never lay a finger on you. Why would he hit you?” Kimberly looked at Jackson in surprise and quickly took an ice pack from the fridge to apply to his face.
After the pain on his face subsided, Jackson impatiently furrowed his brows.
“My dad said | crossed someone | shouldn't have.”
“Haha.” Kimberly chuckled softly. “Jackson, you are the person who others should never cross, right? Rubbing his cheek with the ice pack, Jackson winced in pain, feeling both annoyed and troubled.
“I'm confused too. All | did was make things difficult for a loser and my dad actually told me to let it go. The repair cost for my car alone was close to thirty thousand, and he actually wants me to let it go. Why is he afraid of a poor loser?”
Kimberly had heard about the car accident from her colleagues.
She initially thought it would be amusing to hear a joke about Aurelia and her husband being taught a lesson by Jackson. To her surprise, her colleagues all said that Aurelia’s husband brought along two formidable
individuals that forced Jackson into retreating in frustration.
Kimberly found it baffling, and even more so when she learned that Jackson was beaten by his father
because of this incident.
He shoved at her.
“Spill! Who is Aurelia’s husband?”
Kimberly came to her senses and rubbed where Jackson shoved her.
“Who else could he be? If he had money, why would he drive a beat-up car from seven or eight years ago? In my opinion, your dad might be hitting you because you've been fooling around too much outside, and he’s worried you'll get into trouble,” she said patiently.
She fabricated a reason as she feared that Jackson wouldn’t help her if she told the truth. Growing up privileged, aside from how to deal with women, Jackson was virtually ignorant in all matters.
Hence, he didn’t think much about it and even agreed with Kimberly's words.
“Now what? My dad said he’d freeze my card if | caused trouble outside again. It’s all because of that woman you introduced to me who forced me to send her to work. It’s so annoying. | wouldn't bother with Millie if you didn’t say that | could use her as an excuse to get closer to Aurelia.
“Last night, she dragged me to the 4S store and asked me to buy her a car. All | did was buy her a few thousand—dollar brand— name items, and she thinks she’s a proper mistress.
“Tomorrow, she wants to go eat some Japanese food and insists that | pay. | don’t care about the money, but it’s annoying when she treats me like a fool.”
Kimberly felt resigned. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to help Millie, but Millie seemed to have gotten addicted to the luxurious lifestyle.
Though Kimberly wanted to use Jackson to sow discord between Millie and Aurelia, she wouldn't be able to get Jackson to help if Millie was starting to annoy him.
Kimberly smiled.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“Millie is just a little girl. She'll behave if you just buy her things. You seem to have a good time with her. Where else would you find such an obedient girl?”
Jackson would usually listen to her, but he refused to listen at the moment and pinched his nose thoughtfully.
Thinking that he had calmed down, she said, “Alright. Don’t get upset. I'll pour you a glass of wine.” He looked up abruptly.
“| don’t want Millie anymore. | want Aurelia. You promised to make her mine and that’s why | approached Millie. Since those two stopped being friends, | don’t have time for Millie. I've already slept with her anyway. It’s not interesting anymore.”
Kimberly paused and gritted her teeth.
“What's so good about Aurelia? She isn’t as obedient as Millie.”
“| just like her. Her husband embarrassed me, so I’m taking his wife. | want Aurelia begging for me to
be with her. Let's see how arrogant her husband can be then. Kimberly, you better help me or I'll tell everything that you told me to get closer to Millie,” he threatened.
He had never failed in dealing with women.
Kimberly could no longer maintain the smile on her face and clenched her fists.
Why was it that all men changed after meeting Aurelia?
Jackson, who once only liked obedient women, took an interest in Aurelia despite being humiliated by her.
Meanwhile, Kimberly had to marry an old man just because of a small mistake.
She was appalled by her fiance’s face but had no options other than fawning over him. Aurelia’s husband, on the other hand, looked as handsome as famous actors.
On top of that, he even had the ability to stand up against someone as wealthy as Jackson. “Why?” Kimberly thought.
She grew angrier but soon calmed down.
Since Aurelia got her into this sorry state, she wouldn't allow her to be happy.
Jackson wanted Aurelia, so she would help make that happen.
She wondered if Aurelia’s husband would still take her back then.
