Haroldâs Adamâs apple bobbed up and down slightly as he swallowed.
Truth be told, he didnât love anyone or anything but power!
He never loved Rena, nor did he love Cecilia.
He just chose to be with the one who offered him the most benefits.
After a while, Cecilia suddenly said, âOh, I saw Miss Gordon just now! Do you still feel bad that you werenât able to save her back at the warehouse? Itâs okay.
My brother saved her and now, heâs taking care of her personally.
Donât worry.
â
Harold sneered inaudibly.
His heart sank when he thought about Waylenâs unusual attitude towards Renaâ¦
The following morning, Rena woke up very early.
To her surprise, she found a delicate square velvet box nestled beside her pillow.
Rena was confused.
Inside lay a dazzling diamond ring in classic Tiffany fashion.
The main diamond was the biggest Rena had ever seen.
Rena pursed her lips.
It didnât take long for her to guess who sent it.
She found it ironic.
Harold had forced her into a corner and abandoned her when she was about to be r@ped by thugs.
How dared he give her a diamond ring now?
Just as she was about to ask for a nurse to send it back to him, the door suddenly swung open.
Harold strode in and found Rena staring at the diamond ring.
âYouâre finally awake.
Do you like it?â he asked dotingly.
Rena shut the box and smiled at him.
âYes, I do.
What kind of woman wouldnât like a diamond ring? But knowing that itâs from you, I donât want it.
â
Rena had thought that sheâd feel sick and disgusted the moment she saw him, but to her surprise, she felt unprecedentedly calm, as though she was talking to a stranger.
Maybe it was because he had left her in her hour of desperate need that any trace of feelings she had left for him was completely wiped away.

Harold lowered his head and said gently, âRena, consider this compensation for what I did to you.
I donât mean anything else by it.
â
Rena looked at him in disbelief.
âCompensation? If you really wanted to make things right, youâd let my father go.
Iâd leave Duefron with my parents Immediately.
Weâll never bother you again.
Please just let my father go!â
Haroldâs expression darkened.
That was the one thing he couldnât do!
With his hands in his pockets, he stood up straight and said, âLetâs talk after you think this through.
â
At this point, Rena lost her patience.
She threw the velvet box at him without hesitation.
âGet out!â she roared.
