Gardenia Soth carried the breakfast back to the rooftop. To be honest, having breakfast on the rooftop for the first time was quite unique and the view was also nice.
"Junior Mr, please have your meal."
Gardenia Soth put on a little servant's look and bowed at a ninety-degree angle to invite him to have breakfast. Wasn't her sincerity enough?
But the man just gave a faint glance and sat down rather reluctantly.
"The eggs are not peeled. How can I eat them?"
Even after she had done all that, it still wasn't enough. He even wanted her to peel the eggs for him?
"Do you need me to feed you then?" She was really giving him face.
"That would be best."
Hey, this man... How could she forget that this man had the thickest skin?
Forget it. Considering he had helped her so much today, she would just put up with him.
"Alright, they're peeled. Eat up!"
"Um, blow the porridge a little cooler for me."
Gardenia Soth, "...". His demands were getting more and more outrageous.
"Aren't you afraid I'll spit in your porridge?"
"Why should I be afraid? I've eaten it before."

Cough cough...
Gardenia Soth was choked up. The scene of their kiss suddenly came into her mind, and her face turned red all of a sudden.
"What? Did I say something wrong? Do you need me to help you recall it?"
"No, I don't need it."
Recall my ass! This man just wouldn't let it go. Some things were better left in the past, but he insisted on bringing them up. And not only that, he even wanted her to admit it.
"Keep eating your porridge." She scooped up a spoonful of porridge and stuffed it directly into Oscar Cepa's mouth to shut him up.
"You said you wouldn't feed me, but your actions speak louder than words."
Gardenia Soth finally realized that in her moment of panic, she had actually fed him porridge. Her blush deepened.
She quickly threw down the spoon. "Eat it yourself."
Then she sat alone on the side, not saying a word. Anything she said could be taken advantage of by this man.
"Come here."
"No."
"I'll say it again. Come here right now, or I'll let you taste my saliva again."
Gardenia Soth, "... " A forced kiss was a forced kiss. Why did he have to put it so disgustingly?
Well, she still gave in and sat back down.

"Have you figured out how to deal with Broon Soth's matter?"
At the mention of this, she felt a headache coming on.
"Today's incident... I'm sorry. I know you did it for my sake, but... Our family owes my uncle, so I can't take his leg."
"Gardenia Soth, do you think I'm the kind of person who would be so ruthless as to harm my own wife's uncle?"
Gardenia Soth was taken aback. So what he said wasn't true? He was just trying to scare her uncle?
"Why didn't you make it clear?"
"You should know that Broon Soth really committed a crime. It's not something I can fix with just a word."
If he was really that powerful, he wouldn't have been oppressed by the Cepa family for so many years.
"I understand. I'm not planning to let Broon Soth off either, but uncle..."
"What? You want to persuade me not to withdraw my investment?"
"Of course not. I've never agreed with your investment."
"Then what are you worried about?"
She couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Gardenia Soth sat down in the hanging chair beside Oscar Cepa, hugging her legs. "I just thought of my mom today and felt a bit guilty towards my uncle." Every time she saw her uncle's missing leg, she would recall the car accident that took her mother's life, filling her with resentment. One accident, taking away one life and one leg, how cruel it was.
"Oscar Cepa, actually, we two are quite a match, right? We are both those pitiful people hurt by our own relatives."
Oscar Cepa was always bullied by the Cepa family, and she, Gardenia Soth, was no less exploited and bullied by the Soth family.
She smiled bitterly, her small body curled up into a ball, looking so vulnerable.
"I just heard Woody Soth mention your dad, but he seemed to want to say something and then stop."

"I don't have a father," Gardenia Soth said in a cold voice, without any emotion.
"Since I was born, I've never had a father. My mother said he died very early." So in Gardenia Soth's consciousness, there was no concept of a father, and she was very unfamiliar with this title.
"Then when I was seven, my mother also died. In the family, it began to be said that I was an evil star, killing my parents."
"Really? Me too." The man in the wheelchair spoke very calmly and easily, but from his eyes, Gardenia Soth still saw bitterness.
This feeling, only those who have experienced it can understand.
"So I say, we two are a perfect match. But I'm a bit better than you because I'm lucky."
She was lucky to meet Tang Yabai, which changed her life. And she also had her grandmother, who accompanied her for a long time.
But Oscar Cepa had nothing.

“When you married me, didn't you fear that one day I might die and your reputation as a black widow would be even more solidified? Being a widow to your parents and then your husband, I guess no one would ever marry you again.”
"I didn't think that far."
All she knew was that Oscar Cepa couldn't die.
"What did you think about then?"
"Erm... I thought you were very handsome and young. You shouldn't die. You'll live a long life, longer than a turtle."
"Hmm? Is that a compliment?"
"It is... Puh, hahaha~"
The rooftop was filled with Gardenia Soth's laughter, occasionally interspersed with a low, chuckling voice, brimming with amusement.
Downstairs, Antie Gui and Uncle Yang finally let out a sigh of relief and wore satisfied expressions.

In the afternoon, Uncle Yang said that the police station had sent word. Broon Soth wouldn't admit at all that he had drugged Gardenia Soth.
"Who else could it be if not him?"
That night, apart from Broon Soth, there was no one else.
"He insists that he just handed you over to the two clients he was with and asked them to send you home. He claims he knows nothing else."
"Shut his mouth!" Gardenia Soth couldn't help but curse.
He could even say such shameless words. How could she have been so soft-hearted all this time?

So Gardenia Soth went to the police station in person and met Broon Soth.
"Gardenia Soth, have you come to save me?"
As soon as they met, Broon Soth seemed to see a savior. He didn't want to spend another day in this place.
"Do you think I would save you?"
Don't you know what you have done?
"You... What are you here for? You can't be here to harm me!"
"You're already in the police station. How could I harm you?"
"Since you're not here to save me, I don't want to see you. Go away!"
"It doesn't matter if you want to see me or not. I don't want to see you either, but I have a few questions to ask you."
"I don't want to answer you. Get out of here."
"If you want to rot in prison, then don't answer."
Broon Soth's black eyebrows were tightly knitted. He was at the mercy of others now, and the only person who could save him was Gardenia Soth. So in front of her, he could never be tough.

“That night, was it you who drugged me?”
“No.”
Broon Soth answered very straightforwardly, without any hesitation. It did seem like he wasn't lying.
“Then why did you hand me over to those two men?”
“You learned Taekwondo, didn't you? You could have escaped from those two men.”
Broon Soth sat down, seemingly giving up his resistance and revealing his thoughts.
So this was his reason for handing himself over to them so calmly?
“Nonsense! I was drugged, how could I run?”
“How would I know? I thought you were faking being drunk. She said she would get you drunk, but aren't you the type who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk?”
She said?
Gardenia Soth caught the key word.
“Who said? Who told you this?”
