However, Rebecca did not seem to care about that. Half of the advertising spots in the commercial district were full of her posters, and every single one of them looked horrible.
Everyone in K City knew that Ashton was her sponsor, but he had become an embarrassment because of her. It was as if she wanted the whole world to know that Ashton had abandoned his wife and children to be with a woman with such awful aesthetic judgment.
They were like a young couple who was madly in love, wanting the whole world to know that they were quarreling so that everyone could be entertained by the drama.
While the car slowly made its way down the street, I fell into deep thoughts. If it were me, would I still have trust in this world after knowing that everything that went wrong in my life was closely related to the person I loved?
I did not have an answer to the question. No one could really empathize with another person. Even a trivial matter would cause a series of chain reactions. My life is still a mess, so I don’t have the leisure to worry about others.
In just a few seconds, Rebecca’s face was out of my sight.
Shaking my head, I shrugged off those thoughts and took a deep breath. This isn’t the time to think about them.
Later that day, I sent the children to Zachary and Cameron’s so that they could look after the children for me. It was already six in the evening when I left the Moore Residence.
Setting off for The Jade, I took out my phone and texted Millie: Millie, are you there?
She replied almost instantaneously: I only work for you. Ms. Stovall, you can give the orders directly.
Seeing that, I continued typing on the phone and went straight to the point: Can you contact the mercenaries hired by John?
Millie: I’ve lost contact with several of them. The remaining mercenaries can reach your location in twenty minutes.
Startled, I wrote: My location? But I’m still on the move.
Millie: Our people are scattered all over the city to ensure that they can reach the target location within half an hour.
