Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 51

I shook Kieran's hand hard out of distinct and reminded him in a low voice, "It is Ms. Everly!" Kieran, however, acted as if he saw or heard nothing and walked straight past Everly.

"Kieran...." Her mouth open, Everly stood stiffly on the spot. The witnesses began to talk in whispers. Everly admonished, looking gloomy, "No one can go home tonight!"

"What!" The poor worker bees sighed. Everly swept them coldly, and no complaint could be heard again. Morale low, they all braced themselves for the long night of toil.

Everly turned around and stared at me with intense hatred as I walked farther away from her.

I stopped Kieran at the corner and said, "Why wouldn't you care to halt when Ms. Everly greeted you just now?"

Kieran shot me a cold glance. "Why should I?"

"She likes you. Can't you be nice to her?" I said angrily.

Kieran snorted coldly with a smile, "Am I obligated to smile at everyone that is into me?"

He got me there. He didn't have the time or energy to answer all his fans' admiration. I forced a smile. It was the same with how Marlon treated my deep affection for him like trash.

Alicia was the only one that could enjoy his love and care.

No one felt obliged to love you back. A person in love could find himself all alone in his imaginary relationship.

"Rachael, your only job is to finish the show with me. You are in no position to point fingers at me. Next time, you will pay the price for it!" When we entered the elevator, Kieran shook off my hand and coldly warned me.

"I understand, Mr. Charles!" I couldn't help but chuckle, because I saw myself in Everly. The deep-rooted anger from my past with Marlon found its way to Kieran. How ridiculous!

Kieran and I were in no way equal. I was merely his pawn!

Nevertheless, my reason triumphed, and I knew full well although I was a puppet and had no right to choose, this was my only chance of retaliation. Therefore, I must make the best of it and get back what the Cornells and Alicia owed me.

At the very least, I should take back my dignity!

"Mr. Charles, I apologize for all the mistakes I have made. From now on, I will be the actress you want. But you said you would help me get revenge. You haven't forgotten about that, right, Mr. Charles?" I looked at Kieran.

The right corner of Kieran's mouth curled up, and his scarlet eyes were imbued with coldness. "Rachael, I said this was an opportunity, not a guarantee! I wouldn't lend my help in your revenge." Kieran approached me like a demon. "Remember. I have never been merciful. I have no obligation to save you from your suffering like some Buddha!"

"Sorry, I misunderstood your intentions. Message received!" I remembered the contract and asked him, "Mr. Charles, are you really paying Marlon the 10.5 billion in the contract?"

Kieran had never mentioned it since the ceremony. 10.5 billion was too much for me. I barely knew how much that was.

"I will take care of it. It is not your concern!" Then Kieran left.

I caught up with him. Although I was still worried, I felt much more at ease knowing that it was not my problem. For some reason, Kieran would soothe my worry away, even though he struck me as even more terrifying than a demon and had cruelly deceived me. Sometimes, I felt I might be a little crazy!

Along the way, I didn't speak and sat quietly in the passenger seat. Very quickly, we arrived at the Cornell's. I humored Kieran, held his hand, and walked into the house.

In the dining room, the family of three and Marlon were enjoying their dinner.
