    So what does this goodness and gentleness imply?


    I preferred him to always be fierce and cruel towards me, and I didn’t want him to asionally show me kindness and consideration.


    Because I was afraid that one day I would be addicted to his tenderness, and then I would not be able to bear his abandonment and


    ruthlessness.


    He ultimately cared more about Kimberly, and this couldn’t be changed.


    So no matter what, and regardless of whetherst night’s events were dreams or not, I had to face one fact: in his heart, I couldn’tpare to Kimberly.


    I tried to suppress the difort in my heart, and instead of touching those foods, I found a clean set of clothes, put them on, and left.


    Reynaldo had personally told Johnathan that he didn’t want to see me


    anymore<b>. </b>


    So, I had to be self–aware and not arrogantly stay here just because that man asionally showed tenderness.


    As I was leaving, I suddenly remembered that bracelet.


    found my bag and took out the bracelet.


    The bracelet has been repaired and it was done very well, with no visible cracks.

    But it was ultimately a broken bracelet, and I don’t know if Grandma would still want it.


    I sighed, ced the bracelet on the low table, and then wrote a note and pressed it underneath.


    What I wrote is: That day, I identally broke the bracelet. I am very sorry. I have already fixed the bracelet, and now it is back to its original owner.


    Coming out of the vi, it was still raining outside.


    The autumn rain drizzled continuously, bringing a chill.


    I nced back at the vi in our morning, feeling a slight touch of sadness in my heart.


    In the future, I probably will nevere back here again.


    I walked alone on the path, the cool breeze mixed with drizzle blowing


    on my face, which made my drowsy head much clearer.


    I suddenly remembered the investment in the Winston project..


    I didn’t receive the investment for that project.


    Anyway, this matter still needs to be exined to Winston.


    Thinking in my mind, I gave Winston a call.


    The phone was quickly answered.


    Winston’s voice came with an anxious tone, “Ralda, are you okay?


    Where did Reynaldo take youst night? I called you, but your phone was turned off.”

    Yes,st night Reynaldo turned off my phone.


    I guess it was because Winston found the phone call annoying.


    I smiled at him and said, “I’m fine, he didn’t do anything to me.


    Winston breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good.”


    I pursed my lips and said, “I’m sorry, Winston. I couldn’t handle the


    investment…


    “Reynaldo has already promised to invest in me.”


    I was shocked for a moment and asked in disbelief, “What? Did he agree to invest?”


    “Well, he had his assistant bring the contract for investment signing this morning,” Winston said, pausing for a moment before hesitantly adding, “Ralda, tell me honestly, did you agree to something he asked for against night?”


    “No,” I quickly replied, “He didn’t ask me for anything.”


    “How did he…”


    “Perhaps he still cherished some brotherly affection for you.”


    Winston chuckled immediately, “Impossible! Don’t be fooled by his always gentle and approachable appearance, the darkness and indifference hidden deep inside him only grow more terrifying.”


    I didn’t say anything, but it is true as he said, Reynaldo, this person, indeed harbors a terrifying darkness deep down.


    “Ralda, perhaps <b>it </b>was because you had those five sses of wine, after all, he did say <b>that </b>you agreed to invest after drinking eight sses of


    1140


    Chapter127


    wine, and, moreover, he didn’t let you have thosest three sses,” Winston said with aplex tone.


    I smiled and said, “Anyway, it’s good that he agreed to invest.”


    “Ralda…” Winston suddenly called out to me, his tone tinged with guilt. He said, “Actually, I intentionally sent you to discuss the investmentst night because I knew Johnathan was the big boss behind him. I also guessed that he would be the one toest night.”


    I listened to his words quietly, feeling calm inside.


    Because I had guessed itst night, otherwise, the coincidence. wouldn’t have been possible.


    Winston added, “Ralda, am I not despicable, going to any lengths for the sake of investment?”


    But you don’t understand, I grew up in the spotlight since I was little, I have always been ustomed to praise, I can’t stand them using me now to highlight him, I can’t stand themparing me to him…


    “But Reynaldo was alsopared to you since childhood, used as a contrast to you. He has always lived in your shadow, enduring disdain. and insults. He has suffered no less injustice than you.”
