"Recently, the inheritor and the new CEO of Drexler Corporation just passed the one-month mourning period for his deceased wife and attended Chairman Bernard Drexler’s grand birthday celebration with his fiancée. Insiders reveal that the wedding may be imminent!"
Just as the news anchor finished speaking, the screen switched to another scene.
On the screen, a handso and cold-looking man, surrounded by nurous reporters, got into a car with a frigid expression.
Sumr Shawcross froze all over, her eyes fixed intently on the screen of the LCD TV.
Though it was just a fleeting mont, and only a side profile was captured, the chilling aura around the man made Sumr instantly recognize him.
It was him...
Seeing that familiar figure, her eyes reddened with emotion.
Her heart clenched, and she realized never before had she thought about a man like she did in this mont!
But when she snapped back to reality and her mind cleared, she slowly recalled what the news anchor had said just now.
The new CEO of Drexler Corporation, a deceased wife, a fiancée?
"What’s wrong with you?" Katherine Irving was just about to change the channel when the expression on Sumr’s face startled her.
Sumr opened her mouth slightly, her gaze fixated on the TV screen, unable to move away.
She glanced up at the TV station logo, realizing it was Lyra’s local news channel.
Her face was full of confusion, and after a long pause, she finally managed to piece things together.
The deceased wife ntioned by the anchor—was that supposed to be her?
Noah Drexler thought she was dead?
Then... who was the fiancée?
No woman’s image appeared in the news footage, it showed only the cold deanor of Noah Drexler as he got into the car.
As she thought about it, a feeling of discomfort arose in Sumr’s heart.
Although she admitted to herself that upon seeing Noah’s side profile, she couldn’t help but... desperately miss him.
But what concerned her more were the anchor’s words just now.
Noah thought she was dead, so... there’s another fiancée by his side?
She widened her eyes, disbelief written all over her face, as she stared at the TV in front of her, even though it was now showing other news from Lyra.
How could this be... She even doubted whether she had misheard, but her mind clearly told her she hadn’t heard wrong.
But even if he truly thought she was dead, it had only been a month, and he already found soone new?!
Yet what was shown in the news felt like a thorn, piercing deep into her heart.
Although continuously telling herself there might be so misunderstanding, perhaps Noah was forced, her heart clearly knew that the man would never do sothing he did not want to do, and no one in the world could force him!
Thinking of this, her face suddenly turned pale, her lips losing their color too.
Was her weight in his heart so light, so light that he thought she was dead, only for another woman to appear beside him a month later?
If the one in trouble had been Noah, it wouldn’t be just a month; she would never consider another man for her whole life.
Sumr stood there dazed, her eyes suddenly losing their glow, feeling as though sothing inside her... had suddenly collapsed.
"What’s wrong? Don’t scare ..." Katherine beside her was startled by Sumr’s appearance, hurriedly asking with concern.
