“I like Mick?” Ka doubted her hearing. “Who said I like Mick?”


    Mr. Speed clicked his tongue, “If you don’t like Mick, why didn’t youe here and instead insisted on working with him at the North District Police Department? But Mick is a good guy-steady and smart. Once that fat guy in your department retires, Mick is definitely going to be the chief of the North District.”


    Mr. Speed truly cared for Ka like his own child, always worried about her well-being.


    Although he was unhappy about Mick snatching her away years ago, he had to admit Mick had taken good care of her.


    If Ka and Mick ended up together, under the protection of the Robins Family, he wouldn’t have to worry about her anymore.


    Ka didn’t want to continue this topic. “Please don’t worry about these things. I’lle back tomorrow morning. Also, my mom is in the psychiatric department at RosenBay Hospital.”


    With that, she nced at Mr. Speed, who was smiling broadly, shook her head, and left.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Ka had always been grateful for Mr. Speed’s care. He and Mick had secretly helped her solve many problems.


    If her mom could fully recover through treatment, a steady and upright man like Mr. Speed might indeed make her mom happy…


    Leaving the West District Police Department, Ka drove towards RosenBay.


    …


    The bookshelf in the study slid aside, revealing an entire wall of digital screens linked to aputer. Ethaniel pressed the enter key, and a magnified handsome face appeared on the wall.


    “Hey, bro~” The man had a huge velvet bed behind him, his bare chest showing clear scratch marks. His emerald green eyes and chiseled features made him look like a yboy.


    Ethaniel took a sip of coffee and nced at him coldly. “I was attacked in Seatowne, professional hitmen, ck men, targeting both Ollie and me. Need I say more?”


    Hearing this, the yboy across the screen was visibly shocked and concerned. “Bro, are you hurt? Who attacked you? How’s little Ollie?”


    Ethaniel didn’t answer any of his questions, his violet eyes calmly staring at the man on the screen, exuding a chill.


    Halfway across the world, the man on the screen couldn’t meet Ethaniel’s gaze, finally answering cautiously, “I’m… I’m not in Tandoria right now. I’m chasing a girl. She’s filming abroad recently…”


    Ethaniel wasn’t angry. He just nced at his watch and then looked up, his voice icy, “You have two hours to return to Tandoria. If you’re not there in two hours, don’t bother seeing me again.”


    With that, Ethaniel cut off themunication.


    The bookshelf moved back to its original position, covering the digital wall.


    Knock, knock, knock.


    A knock on the door. “President, it’s Linda.”


    “Come in.” Ethaniel put down his coffee cup and said calmly.


    The study door opened, and Linda ced some documents beside Ethaniel, speaking softly, “President, should we start nning our return to Tandoria?”


    “En?” Ethaniel opened the documents and began reading.


    “Tomorrow is the closing ceremony of the Investment Summit. All investment ns have been signed. The headquarters needs someone in charge, and Seatowne isn’t safe. I think it’s best to return to Tandoria as soon as possible.” Linda tried to speak in the most objective tone.


    Linda knew Ethaniel felt differently about Ka, but she still believed Ethaniel wouldn’t lose his rational judgment.


    Looking expectantly at Ethaniel, Linda watched as he closed the folder, slowly lifted his eyshes, his violet eyes cold and steady, “I won’t attend tomorrow’s closing ceremony. You will represent me.”


    “Yes,” Linda answered, hesitating before asking, “Then when are we returning to Tandoria?”


    “In three days,” Ethaniel replied calmly.


    Linda was ecstatic upon hearing this!


    Finally, they were going back to Tandoria!


    Once back, Ka wouldn’t be around, and she would be the only woman by Ethaniel’s side!


    Outside the study, Ka slowly withdrew her hand, nced at the slightly ajar door, and quietly turned away.


    Was he really leaving so soon? Without even discussing it with her or informing her?


    Indeed, Vi and Mick were right. There was no future with Ethaniel…


    Watching the sunset nearly disappear beyond the horizon, Ka stood up. What was there to be sad about?


    Without Ethaniel, she’d still go to work tomorrow, have her three meals a day, and live her life!


    Pushing open the study door, Ethaniel looked up at Ka’s angry face. She didn’t realize how cute she looked when she was mad.


    Unaware of this, Ka was furious. She grabbed Ethaniel and snarled, “Goodbye!” before kicking his leg hard and leaving gracefully.


    “…” Ethaniel frowned slightly, his left knee feeling like it was about to dislocate.


    Indeed, the highest level of beating someone wasn’t about strength but knowing where to hit to cause the most pain.


    In this regard, Ka was an expert.


    But after leaving the vi, Ka realized she had nowhere to go. She had only onest option-


    “So, you broke up with Ethaniel?”


    Vi looked at the silly girl who hadn’t stopped drinking since she came in, feeling inexplicably angry. “I told you long ago, but you wouldn’t listen! Now he’s leaving for Tandoria, what are you going to do?”


    Ka buried her head in her drink, unwilling to answer.


    A man’s heart, once changed, couldn’t be won back.


    Besides, she didn’t care for a man whose heart had changed.


    Vi sighed, seeing Ka almost drunk. “If he’s leaving, let him go. You two were never meant to be together anyway. It’s better to part ways amicably.”


    “We were never meant to be together…” Ka smiled bitterly.


    “We can’t be together…” Ka’s smile was bitter. “Vi, do you think I’m an idiot? Why can’t I understand something so simple?”


    Vi nced at her, “You’ve never been good at handling emotions.”


    Hearing Vi’s words, Ka felt a surge of resentment. She protested loudly, “He’s just rich! It’s not his money I care about! Can he just say he loves and leaves whenever he wants? Has he ever considered my feelings? I… I…”


    Halfway through, Ka’s shoulders slumped, and her voice turned sorrowful, “I would miss him too, my heart would ache, and I would want to keep him…”


    Vi had never seen Ka so sad. She must truly love Ethaniel; otherwise, she wouldn’t be this heartbroken.


    Despite her dislike for Ethaniel, Vi asked softly, “Have you ever asked him to stay?”


    “No, and I don’t want to,” Ka downed thest of her drink. “I won’t beg him. If he leaves, I won’t wait for him!”


    Seeing her determination, Vi stopped persuading her and opened another can of beer to drink with her.


    People in a bad mood get drunk easily, especially someone like Ka who seldom drinks.


    Vi had just started her second can when Ka had already fallen asleep.


    “… Such a lightweight.” Vi rolled her eyes, helped Ka to the sofa, and covered her with a nket.


    After making sure Ka was asleep, Vi grabbed her keys and went out.
