Chapter 136 He Is Repentant Too (2/2)

”You two sleepyheads, do you know what time it is? Time to get up!” called Elsa as she drew open the window curtains.

”But mom, I don't want to go to work today!” mumbled Cherry, still half asleep.

”Grandma, I don't want to go to school today either! I want to stay in bed with mommy, ” also said Jo

“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.

“Marry into a family with tens of billions of assets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.

”Oh, is that so? What's he upset about? Why would he, the young master Chu, be ever upset?” asked Selina mockingly.

”You don't know what's really going on. Stop it already, ” quickly said Derek. He then threw Jackson a glance, afraid that he would be mad again.

Jackson furiously shouted, ”Do you think I wanted to? She's the single person that I want to protect and care about more than anything in the world! You know very well that Stephen and I are engaged in a battle to the death, and that only one of can emerge out of it alive!”
