"If the heroine saves the CEO, will he forgive her deception? She's not pure, kind-hearted, and gentle he thought she was, but a bloodthirsty female assassin."
"Why wouldn't he?" Beverley said, "If two people love each other, they can work through any conflict. Leopold and Aurelia were separated for three years because of a misunderstanding. Aurelia ended up with Arnold and gave birth to William. Leopold didn't mind and still won her back."
"Believe in the power of true love that can conquer all. As long as both people are still alive, there's hope. The only thing that can separate two people in love is death. If the one who loves you dies, they can't love or protect you anymore. You can't ever meet again, not ever. Isn't that a terrifying thought?" Aurelia picked up the thread, "The heroine is pregnant, right? So she can't risk the rescue. That would be too dangerous. She just needs to coordinate from behind the scenes, and let the CEO's younger brother handle the rescue. Both the hero and the heroine need to stay alive. I insist on a happy ending."
Lisbeth twisted her heart in anguish. Flashes of memory swept before her eyes like a series of close-ups in a movie, overwhelming her. They were all of Raines, his tenderness, indulgence and charming smile... They crashed over her like waves and blades cutting through her heart. She clenched her teeth against the pain, a cold sweat breaking out on her forehead. Her fingers trembled so violently that she knocked over a glass of juice on the table.
The juice spilled, staining her skirt. She stood up hastily, "I need to run to the restroom."
Watching her stagger away, Aurelia sighed, "I believe she loves Raines."
The card game in the gazebo broke up.
Raines was dark and brooding in his expression. His plan had been flawless, yet he hadn't accounted for Nina's cunning, which had led to his undoing.
Fredric walked over and clapped him on the shoulder, "Raines, what's meant to be will be. In the Stirling family, united brothers are as strong as a fortified metal. We can't fight against each other. Don't harbor any inappropriate thoughts. If you need help, just ask, and Leopold will sort it out."
Raines shrugged nonchalantly, "I just want good health, nothing more."
