NovelEnglish“Someone has to be held responsible for the losses.”
Rena still wanted to plead for mercy, but Harold spoke first.
“There is actually another way out of this… As long as you’re willing to be my mistress for five years, I’ll let your father go.”
Rena’s jaw went slack.
She had no idea that her ex could be so shameless. He wanted to keep both his career and her body!

Harold replied playfully, “You’ve always known what kind of person I am, right?”
Rena gritted her teeth and spat, “I refuse to be your mistress! No way!”
Harold sneered indifferently. “Then you’d better hire a good lawyer for your father. After all, such a large amount of money will put him behind bars for at least a decade.”
Rena shot back, “I’ll hire the best lawyer in the country!”
“You mean Waylen?” Harold chuckled smugly. “Have you forgotten that he’s my future brother-in-law? Will he really help you with the lawsuit?”
Rena clenched her fists so tightly, her knuckles turned white. She found that she had no way to retort.
Harold smirked and said, “Rena, I’ll wait for you to beg me to take you back!”
Rena hung up the phone abruptly, too angry to keep listening to that man’s nonsense.
Having overheard their conversation, Eloise cursed, “That bastard! Don’t worry, Rena. We will never let him hurt you!”
Angry tears streamed down Eloise’s cheeks. “But Harold’s right. Mr. Fowler is his future brother-in-law. Why would he help us? Rena, there has to be a solution…”
Rena lowered her head.

After a while, she said in a low voice, “I met Mr. Fowler once. I’ll try to talk to him.”
Eloise looked at her in disbelief. She was a particularly discerning woman.
Only then did she notice that Rena reeked of alcohol. Seeing the man’s coat draped around her shoulders, she guessed what had happened.
But she didn’t confront Rena about it.
It was not easy for Rena to meet Waylen again.
In the hall of Sterling Law Firm, the receptionist politely rejected Rena’s request. “I’m afraid I can’t let you go upstairs without an appointment, miss.”
Rena pursed her lips, regretting not taking the man’s business card last night.
“When’s his next available slot?” she asked anxiously.
