A feeling gnawed at her; Neville was keeping something from her, unwilling to open up.
Was the passion over? Or had he decided to abandon her?
Miley’s heart ached.
Neville strode out the door, reaching the entrance of Prosper Bay.
Annoyed, he yanked off his tie and pulled out a cigarette case, igniting a smoke.
The brisk wind sobered him, bringing clarity to his thoughts.
Once Neville sobered up, a flood of thoughts overwhelmed him.

If this marriage could be arranged, it would significantly bolster the Pierce family’s status.
On the flip side, failure to facilitate this union would not only prevent the Pierce family from supporting Prosperity Group in the manufacturing industry but would also result in the loss of their most skilled assistant.
This was a matter Neville’s parents had been pressing him about lately, dreading the decline of the Pierce family.
Feeling frustrated and agitated, Neville had pondered the situation for a while, going through three cigarettes in the process.
As he gazed back at the lit villa, he noticed that the light in Miley’s room was still lit.

Due to how fast he had been running, his prosthetic limb was aching, causing him to narrow his eyes in pain.
The thought that he had failed to take down Prosperity Group pissed him off.

His biggest fear was being caught by Matthew. There wasn’t any way he could sell Prosperity Group’s shares he had. He couldn’t liquidate them either to repay his debts.
Benny’s face darkened. He regretted how merciful he was to Matthew back then. Otherwise, Prosperity Group would have been his by now.
Benny clenched his fists as he realized he had missed his opportunity.
Now there was a huge gap between him and Prosperity Group. All he could do was accept his failure and hope he’d get another chance.
