Steven stood with one hand in his pocket, his profile cold.
"I let you stay at this company to make a deal, not for you to meddle in my affairs. You can leave whenever you want. I'll arrange protection for you. Just focus on staying alive."
"I'm just worried you'll be deceived by Zephyra!"
"That's my business."
His dismissive attitude made Verna's blood boil, her face twisting with rage.
"Steven! I can't believe you don't see what a venomous person Zephyra is! I didn't do anything, and she wants me to clean toilets! I'm a top graduate from Axel University! Clean toilets?! She's clearly targeting me! She's getting revenge on me!"
"In our past life, after Horace died, she hated us. But she hated you more. It was because of you that Queena hurt her, that the car accident happened! Afterward, she had a mental breakdown, lost her child, and then got stomach cancer. She was barely living, but she clung on just to make you suffer, to get her revenge. She refused to let you go. Now, she's finally let it all go, and you go and ruin her wedding with Horace, destroy her happiness. She will never let you off the hook!"
"Yes, you've hidden it well, showing almost no trace of your past self. But as long as you're together, it's only a matter of time before she realizes you're the same Steven. And when she does, when all the old and new hatred comes flooding back, she might just grab a knife in a fit of rage and kill you!"
Steven shot Verna a chilling glare.
"Watch your mouth. If she hears anything she shouldn't from you, and I can't deal with you, your family will bear the consequences."
Verna seethed, struggling to contain her anger, and gritted her teeth.
"I told you, you don't need to threaten me. I won't reveal your secret. I know I can't afford to cross you. But you can't hide it forever. Zephyra isn't stupid. She'll find out who you really are. Ha. And when she does, she'll want to kill you!"
"Besides, even if you refuse to be with me, you and Zephyra will never have a happy ending in this life. She didn't harm you in our last life, but that doesn't mean she won't in this one. You might suffer a huge blow because of her. One day, you'll regret this!"
Steven's expression was blank, his voice ice-cold.
"The only thing I would regret is not having her by my side."
