Richest Mogul

Chapter 1692

Zera knew exactly how pitiful and heart-wrenching she appeared right now. She also knew this was what Aiken liked.

Men often had a streak of masculinity that made them want to protect vulnerable women. After spending so much time acting and reading countless scripts, Zera understood what appealed to men.

Aiken looked at Zera standing before him, but what he saw was a fleeting image of Wendy. For a moment, he was silent.

Seeing his lack of response, Zera's heart filled with panic. "Aiken... I'm really afraid—afraid that you'll leave me. Please don't ignore me. Please don't stop talking to me.

"I might have done something wrong, but I can change. I'll try not to make mistakes in the future, and I won't upset you anymore. Please?"

Her tone was humble, pleading. Surely, no matter how hard his heart was, it would soften now?

"Wow, that's some of the worst acting I've seen all year. Aiken, if you liked this type, you should've said so earlier. Why waste so many years of Wendy's time? But only you could stomach someone like this. Just the sight of her makes me feel nauseous."
