"You’re pregnant with his child, so asking for a house isn’t asking for much. Besides, now we don’t have to go looking for a place to live." If it were her, she wouldn’t have settled for so little.
Mika Sumrs was just too much of a pushover, which was why she walked away from the divorce with nothing.
And who was Tristan Grayson? The next chairman of LK Group, with a net worth in the tens of billions.
The best money-maker in all of Tridell, and also the richest man in the city.
"..." Mika Sumrs said nothing, simply sitting there with a frown.
’Truthfully, she didn’t know where she would go either. If it weren’t for Jasmine, she probably wouldn’t have even found the courage to leave Tristan Grayson’s side.’
Jasmine Warren walked over and sat down beside Mika Sumrs, pulling her into an embrace. She comforted her in a low voice, "Co on, don’t overthink it. Cheer up! If worst cos to worst, I’ll just move in with you!"
"Okay, then it’s a deal. You’ll live with ."
"Of course I’m living with you! I, Jasmine Warren, have never lived in a villa in my entire life."
"You’re so easy to please."
"Oh, so you’re making fun of now! See if I don’t tickle you!" With that, Jasmine sprang into action.
The two of them roughhoused playfully, and Mika Sumrs couldn’t stop laughing. For the mont, she even forgot about Tristan Grayson selling the house.
’With Jasmine here,’ she thought, ’I’ll be able to forget Tristan Grayson soon.’
’From now on, I’m going to start a new life. A life without Tristan Grayson. No more Tristan Grayson...’
Archie Sumrs had barely slept all night. He sat in President Grayson’s office, waiting for him to arrive at work.
But he had been waiting until now, and it was already almost noon, yet Tristan still hadn’t shown up.
His fingers tapped lightly on the desk as he narrowed his eyes, looking at Louise Jordan and Howard Rhodes, who were standing in the room.
Howard Rhodes discreetly wiped a bead of nervous sweat from his brow and reported what he had just found out. "Boss, I just asked a few employees. They said they’ve barely seen President Grayson at all this past month. He did return to the company for a bit yesterday, but he didn’t stay long before he left again."
"Do you know where he went?" ’Too sick to marry Mika? Does Tristan Grayson really think the Sumrs family can be trifled with?’
"No one knows."
"Go get Tristan Grayson’s secretary for now!"
"Yes, sir."
"Tell her that if she refuses to disclose the president’s whereabouts, then as the largest shareholder of LK Group, I have the right to assu the role of acting president!"
"Yes, sir."
Watching Howard Rhodes leave, Archie Sumrs turned his attention to Louise Jordan. "Louise, I told you to find Mika. Have you found her?"
"Not yet. But we can confirm that Miss Sumrs is definitely no longer living with the Grayson family."
"Just as I thought. Send more people to find Mika." ’That foolish girl. Even if the Graysons don’t want her, she still has us, the Sumrs family.’
’If his mother hadn’t told him what she did last night, he still wouldn’t have known how much his sister had been suffering.’
Archie Sumrs rose and left the office. As he walked, he unfastened the buttons on his cuffs, his eyes dark with unspoken thoughts.
「That afternoon」
Mika Sumrs and Jasmine Warren moved into the villa in the Eastre District.
The villa was a long way from the city, which made Jasmine’s commute particularly inconvenient. She had to be at work at 9:30 AM, and the drive from there to Anhurst Hospital took at least an hour.
Seeing Jasmine’s long face, Mika Sumrs couldn’t help but laugh. "Alright, alright. I know you love sleeping in, so I’ll make a special exception. You can co here and keep company on weekends, but you should go back to your own place on weekdays."
"Oh, sweetie, I’m so sorry." Touched, Jasmine threw her arms around her in a hug.
Mika Sumrs feigned disgust and quickly pushed her away. "Okay, okay! Jasmine, don’t call that! You’re giving goosebumps!"
