"Nichs." The moment the assistant uttered Nichs'' name, I felt like my life was a joke. It felt like I
was just going around in circles. "Who else knows about this?" I asked my assistant.
"Just you and I," he replied.
"When did Nichs go for the blood test?" I asked.
"He did it yesterday. It was an express test, so the results came out really quickly. I was the first to find
out about it, and I haven''t told anyone else," my assistant said.
"Don''t tell anyone else for now," I ordered. Since Nichs had gone for the blood test, it meant that
Quinn must have told him about the situation between her and me. He would definitely agree to donate
his kidney to Quinn. Since Quinn and Nichs didn''t have much of a rtionship, I was certain that
Nichs was donating the kidney for my sake. The way he was acting made me feel terrible.
It seemed like Nichs refused to let me go, even if I couldn''t produce a spawn for him! I couldn''t allow
him to donate his kidney for my sake. I would rather give my kidney to Quinn than allow him to y the
role of a saint!
After ending the call, I couldn''t sleep well throughout the entire night. I still felt troubled even after my
assistant came to pick me up the next day. When I got into the car, I couldn''t help but remind him once
again to keep this matter a secret. "What about Quinn?" He had asked the most crucial question. Quinn
was in desperate need of a kidney donor.
"You can continue looking for another donor," I uttered with a sigh. It was slightly before noontime when
my assistant and I arrived at Sundew. ir and Florence picked me up from the airport—Florence
looked like a skinny young girl, especially when she stood beside ir. "How young," I whispered to
myself.
Florence was extremely young. She was about the same age as me. I heard that she wasn''t even of
age when she first dated ir. They had gone through a lot in the past few years. Even as time went
on, they still chose each other. Meanwhile, Nichs and I… We were a mistake. When I wanted to
continue with this mistake, Nichs chose to push me away. He even imed that it was for my own
good.
I walked over to hug Florence, and ir teased us when he saw this. "You guys seem to be even more
intimate than Florence and I," he said.
"Are you getting jealous over this?" I chuckled while gazing at him. He pressed his lips together. "I''m
sorry," he uttered. I understood what he meant, so I shook my head before exining myself. "It''s all in
the past. I''ve let it go now."
"What about Nichs?" ir asked me. Most of the people around me seemed to be siding Nichs,
and they were all asking me about how he was. How was I supposed to know? I didn''t respond to ir,
and the atmosphere turned rather awkward before Florence grabbed onto my arm. "Let''s head home
for now."
I stayed in the Norman Residence for a few hours. My assistant and I spent this time discussing how
we were going to ruin the partnership between the Yates and Gant Families the next day. This was a
tough situation, especially since they had already discussed their partnership. The Yates Family had
already invested a huge sum into this, and all that was left was the signature on their contract.
ir noticed how my assistant and I couldn''t seem toe to a conclusion after discussing it for a long
time. "Should I contact the Gant Family for you guys?" he offered kindly.
"I''ll deal with it," I replied while shaking my head. I wanted to be the one who ruined Alice. Eventually, I
got bored of staying in the Norman Residence, so I brought my assistant out for a walk. ir seemed
rather reluctant about this matter. "Do you guys want to stay for a while longer?"
"I just want to take a walk," I replied with a smile. ir still seemed rather hesitant. He pressed his lips
together while giving me a reminder. "Okay. Take care. Make sure that you and Gary don''t get lost."
Gary and I walked out of the Norman Residence, and he whispered into my ear once we got to the exit.
"President Felix, I overheard Mr. Norman and Florence saying that President Forger is dropping by
later." I finally understood why ir didn''t want me to leave. Since when did Nichs and he team up?
I frowned before I led Gary to one of the most popr red-light districts in Sundew. The booming music
there was perfect for youngsters. I had never stepped foot in this area until Merlin brought me over two
months ago. The next time I visited this area was the night before. I liked hanging out at this ce.
Gary was often too busy with work to have time to rx. Once I got into the bar, I told him to find his
own fun. Gary didn''t know how to have fun on his own, so he sat beside me while sipping on some
alcohol. He imed that he didn''t know how to dance when I told him to try it out.
"You''re such a boring man," I uttered with augh. "I''m having quite a lot of fun now," he replied before
drinking from his ss. I took my ss up to sip on some alcohol before we began to talk about work.
He said that the Felix Corporation''s business had seen some decline in the past three years, but that
business was generally stable. Once this whole issue was over, the Felix Corporation would proceed
with more stability. We would have the Norman Family''s support in Sundew.
The Norman and Felix Families worked closely together. Although we were two different families, we
shared our resources with one another. While I was talking to my assistant, I bumped into a familiar
face in the bar. Leon had mentioned that she would be in Bryxton by then, so I didn''t expect to see her
in Sundew. I recalled how Leon said that she was from Sundew.
The woman was pale and slim based on my impression of her. Right then, she was dressed in a purple
skirt and was sitting at the bar while talking to the bartender. Her posture seemed extremely elegant
and ssy as she sipped on her drink. She looked like an experienced drinker, yet she seemed
youthful and fresh.

"Do you know her?" I narrowed my eyes while asking my question. Gary followed my gaze to look at
the woman, and he hesitated for a long while before responding. "I''ve met her in a gathering, but I don''t
know her name. I recall others calling her Ms. Gant."
After a period of silence, my assistant continued to exin himself. "I recall her being an extremely
wealthy woman when Ist saw her in the gathering. Should I investigate her past?"
"Hold on," I uttered. Then, I pulled my phone out to call Leon. He took a while to pick up. "Is anything
the matter?" he asked after a long period of silence. Leon had been extremely distant for a while after
hearing what I told him about Quinn the night before. It was the first time I had seen him tear up. Yet,
he seemed to have returned to his usual, impressive self. It seemed like he had a soft heart beneath
his tough outer shell.
I took a nce at the slim woman sittingfortably by the bar. "What''s the name of the woman who''s
visiting Bryxton?"
Leon froze for a moment. "Why are you asking about her?" he asked in a surprised tone. "I''m just
curious," I replied half-heartedly.
"Francesca," he replied.
"Oh. That''s a nice name," Imented.
"Why are you asking about her?" he asked in a rather concerned tone.
"It''s nothing. I''m just curious," I replied. After that, I chit-chatted with Leon for a while more before
ending the call. Then, I got Gary to do some research on the woman''s name. He pulled his phone out
to order someone to investigate her background. Soon enough, we got the information we needed.
When I saw the details, I was filled with shock. "She''s Leon''s girl. Previously, she had been living in a
small town with Leon. She was a recement he found, and he had made this clear to her. Why do you
think she''s scheming with all of this?" I whispered to my assistant.
He couldn''t find an answer, so he simply kept his phone away before gazing at the woman by the bar.
"The first time I met her was many years ago. She had just returned from studying overseas back then,
and I heard that she graduated from Manchester University. The people around me really admired her,
and they all called her Ms. Gant," he said.
"Gary, she''s just like me in the past," I uttered with a sigh.
"Francesca Gant, the CEO of the almighty Gant Family in Sundew. She has a worth of billions, yet
she hid all of this just to be with Leon… She''s a pitiful woman, President Felix," Gary uttered.
