[MATURE CONTENT] Betrayed by her sister, Nidia South ended up having a one-night stand with a random man. Eight months later, her premature pregnancy made it to the news. Jackson Cunningham, Baile City's business tycoon, immediately recognized her on the news and forcefully took custody of their child. However, the child only wanted his mother's breast milk, hence Nidia was brought to the mansion as well. She had thought that this was a cold and cruel man, a cold-blooded capitalist, but in reality... she was the girl of his dreams, he had been longing for her for ten years. Jackson did everything in his power to be able to keep her in his life, all he wanted to do was take care of her and spoil her.
<Gentle means he's weak? Researchers are among the greatest people contributing to society, but his grandfather thinks it's a useless career?>
"In terms of ambition and resourcefulness, I'm no match for Jackson nor my peers.
My grandfather told my father that if someone were too reliable and honest, they'd never achieve great things in certain fields. In this complicated society, a suitable amount of slyness is what a person should have."
Theodore then chuckled at himself for a moment before he choked out, "I've loved research since the beginning, but my career ended with just a word from my grandfather."
By then, Nidia's gaze at Theodore was laced with sympathy.
Back then, everyone within the industry knew about Theodore's interest and talent in research.
Being a researcher was no easy job. Even if he were capable and talented, his career would still be in the hands of a prominent figure like Derek.
