“Exactly, Miss Pembroke and Mr. Carter are a perfect match. Only their child has what it takes to lead Carter Group to greater heights!”
Watching this unfold, my already lifeless heart sank even deeper,
Since he was little, my son had idolized Dominic
He used to say he wanted to study hard to make his father proud.
He dreamed of becoming a great man, just like him.
I used to worry if my son were to see Dominic fall from grace, it might break his heart. But now, seeing how Dominic, after learning he was the one who Chapter 6
caused our son’s death, hadn’t even shed a single tear….
I felt nothing but enld resolve.
Chapter 7
Amid the murmurs and chatter, Dominic turned to Beatrice and said with heartfelt emotion,
“Beatrice, these past years, we’ve worked together, struggled together, weathered countless struggling side by side.”
“Somewhere along the way, I found myself drawn to you.”
“In the past, I couldn’t give you a title because of Simone and my son.
“I’ve always felt guilty about that.”
“But things are different now.”
“My son is gone, and there’s no future between me and Simone.”
והויי
you marry me?”
“I believe in you. I know you’ll raise our child to be exceptional.”
As he finished, Dominic dropped to one knee and proposed to Beatrice in front of everyone.
The guests and dignitaries erupted in encouragement:
“Miss Pembroke, say yes! One nod and you’ll become the wife of the richest man in Heilo city!” “You and Mr. Carter were meant for each other. This is just fare bringing soulmates together!”
“Say yes! Say yes!”
Even Alice couldn’t help but grasp Beatrice’s hand, beaming with affection.
“Beatrice, to tell you the truth, I liked you from the very first time I saw you.”
Now that you’re carrying the Carter family’s only child, don’t you see? This is destiny.”
“Don’t hesitate any longer–say yes to my son. I’ve already decided, the title of Mrs. Carter belongs to you.”
The same Alice who used to look down on me with disdain now treated Beatrice like a priceless treasure.
Even her eyes sparkled with joy as she spoke.
Beatrice gave a shy smile. “I’d love to say yes…!
“But…”
