get involved with emotions.

money she had received from selling herself to him. She did this to show Mr. Laurence that she was
with him, not for the money.
Mr. Laurence didn’t react on the surface, but when he saw the things Ms. Shultz left behind at the
mansion, he immediately asked Aidyn to call her and ask her to come back for them.
He called, hoping to see Ms. Shultz, but she said she didn’t want them and promptly deleted their
contact information.
Mr. Laurence panicked and called several times, only to confirm that he had been deleted. He then sat

already been rejected, he should let her go and stop pushing.”

Aidyn sighed helplessly, “Mr. Laurence, if even you can’t persuade him, I don’t stand a chance.”
Cedric sneered at him, “Anyway, this is your responsibility now. I don’t want to see Bernard like this
ever again.”
