Rebirth Into My Second Chance

Sure enough, he was a goddamn player trying to have it all.

I said, "I won't marry you or drop the charges against Kate. It wasn't me who sued her in the first place."

Gabrielle asked me to lend a hand to keep Claude's law firm from collapsing. Yet Claude wanted me to marry him and let his Kate off the hook.

I snorted, "Claude, I don't have the power to influence your and Kate's situation as you think I do. Maybe you should ask the police what exactly Kate did to me. Or better yet, check if she's hurt other girls, too."

I helped Richard into the car, leaving Claude standing there, watching as we drove away.

"Have you heard about the Hilton family?" Richard asked as we got into the car.

"The Hilton family tore down the orphanage to build an amusement park. I can't even step foot in there. Even though my parents worked for the Hilton family, our relationship with them was purely employment. In the end, it was because of Claude that things went south. To stand up against the most powerful family in town? I doubt my parents would want me to take such a lone stand." I said it casually, leaving Richard at a loss for words.
