He could avoid being tied to a vicious woman who had been pursuing him since birth. She could gain external support to overcome her illegitimate status and become the heir apparent and CEO of the Valentine conglomerate. It was a relationship where they were supposed to use each other. But now- “Commander, your wife is having a private dinner with the CEO of a technology company. During the dinner, he held her hands and tried touching her waist.” “Directly leak their company secrets and sink their stocks.” An angry voice replied. “Commander, the Co-CEO of a startup company sent a room worth of roses to your wife’s office.” “It seems he no longer wants to live. Directly buy out the other shares and oust him from his position. Go and order enough roses to fill up every room in her office. Fly them in if you need to.” When he got home. “Wife, why are you angry? Should I rub your feet? Help you take a bath?” “Why are you interfering with me?

POV Richard Carrington
The moment Celeste left, Richard's demeanor immediately changed. Although watching the view of Celeste walking away in her swimsuit was pleasant, watching her walk beside a man he knew still had feelings for her was immensely displeasing.
"Uhm Mr. Carrington, we haven't met but I'm Eleanor Cooper. You can just call me Ellie. Do you mind if I call you Richard?" A soft voice called out.
He turned to see a blond woman with curly hair blushing while approaching him.
"I mind. And I don't like people being near me so keep your distance." He coldly ordered.
"Oh uhm I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I just wanted to get to know." She hesitantly replied while looking down shyly.
Looking at the women who had conspired to have Celeste leave, he smiled coldly at all of them, especially Titania.
