Chapter 75
Mnie’s heart raced and her face burned as she recalled that long kiss she had with Roderick
back in the day in the car.
After calming down, she immediately warned herself, “Stop it, Mnie. Enought Why didn’t you say
no when he kissed you today?
“Mnie, you’ve be depraved. How on earth can you go insane from his kiss? How can you
think about it even now?”
Mnie felt perplexed as she paced around in the office talking to herself.
She looked around, desperate for something cold, but all she could find was a cup of cold water.
She drank it up and calmed down, not caring that her period wasing soon.
During the day, she would frequently stand in front of the window and gaze out at the distant
Steve’s Art Gallery on Springerglow Avenue. She wondered if she could see that sign if she looked
at it at night.
Thinking of this, Mnie walked to the window and looked at Springerglow Avenue in the dark.
Indeed, Steve’s Art Gallery looked even clearer and more stunning at night than it did during the
day.
The words “Steve’s Art Gallery” were glowing white, like the moon hanging in the sky.
These three words were designed by her mother alone.
Mnie felt sad thinking about her mother, but she could think more straight
now.
“Mnie, look at you. Have you done anything since you got here? Have you forgotten the reason
for youring to Zerivia?” she talked to herself again.
“Mnie, remember that you didn’te to Zerivia for love or romance. You
me here
to get Mom’s justice and exact revenge on that jerk, your father!”
Thinking of that scumbag father, Mnie felt gloomy again.
She couldn’t believe that Steve Robertson was really her biological father.
What kind of father would coborate with others to repeatedly harm his own. daughter?
Why?
If he hated her so much, why did he let her be born in the first ce and act like a loving father for
the past 18 years?
Was it merely a ploy to sell her when he needed it?
Should Darrin’s investigation’s findings be true, Steve was a liar from the beginning to the end. How
could a clever person like her mother be blind to his deceit and even fall in love with him, marry him,
and give birth to her?
Mnie felt hatred well up inside at the thought.
She eximed inwardly, ‘Wait and see, Steve!
‘I will find out the truth about my mother’s early death and make sin, you scumbag!‘

When she was about to go back to bed, she nced at the small square downstairs, and her heart
pounded wildly.
Three ck cars were parked in line in the small square in front of Rising Star.
A tall figure was leaning against the door of the car in the middle.
“Roderick?!” Mnie cried out in surprise. Why was he here?
She blinked in disbelief and took a closer look.
That was him, indeed.
He always appeared with three opulent cars, the middle one carrying him and the other two
upied by his bodyguards.
Mnie recognized them at a nce.
Like a leaning pine, Roderick’s towering figure was leaning against the car door. showcasing his
exceptional and noble physique that set him apart from other men.
It was him.
What was he doing here at thiste hour?!
Mnie stared at the figure downstairs in a daze, while Roderick seemed to have sensed it and
looked up.
Mnie was so startled that she turned around and ran to the bedroom. She noticed that her phone
was set aside motionless, with a dark screen.
After giving it some thought, Mnie turned on her phone and saw multiple missed calls and
messages
[M, I miss you so much,] one message stated.
[M, I have nowhere to go now that you’re not home.]
[M, I want to hear your voice.]
These tant messages struck Mnie like electric shocks.
‘Shame on you, rascal!‘ Mnie cursed inwardly as she ran to the window.
As expected, Roderick remained motionless as he leaned against the middle of the three opulent
cars that were still parked there.
“What is this madman doing here at midnight?” Mnie was so irritated.
Who on earth said that Roderick was not interested in women?
This was definitely the way wealthy men pursued women.
Mnie pondered the number of women he had been waiting for downstairs at midnight before he
became so adept, not to mention all those sweet messages.
Where the hell did he learn all this from?!
It wasn’t like he hadn’t been with a woman before.
What did he mean by “I have nowhere to go now that you’re not home?”
Was he showing off his literary prowess?
‘I don’t think he doesn’t have a ce to sleep since the Lambert family has so

many houses.
‘Well, just stand here as long as you want.
‘I don’t give a damn about you!‘ Mnie thought angrily as she paced around the office.
After a while, Roderick went to the window and saw that he was still standing there.
Roderick was still standing when she checked after a while.
She was unsure if he could actually see her from a distance. He would nce up at her each time
she approached the window.
Mnie could almost hear his chuckle.
What was wrong with him? This couldn’t go on.
If he waited outside all night, would he be okay?
Mnie felt a little irritated when she realized that she started to be concerned about him.
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
But immediately, she convinced herself that she wasn’t worried about him.
She just thought that the reporters would spot him if he stayed outside all night because the Rising
Star spring auction was still going on.
Yes, that was why she didn’t want him to stand outside all night.
‘s! No, I’d better call him and send him away!‘ Thinking of this, Mnie dialed Roderick’s
number.
As soon as the phone rang, the figure in ck shadow downstairs moved and answered, “Hey,
M.”
Mnie ignored the whine in his voice and said stiffly, “What are you doing downstairs? Go home!”
“Heh, you start to care about me,” he chuckled with a cheesy smile.
Mnie sensed that she had encountered a failure of imagination.
She couldn’t imagine that this indifferent and noble man would say something like
that, which gave her
