Lily\u2019s eyes turned red, and tears rushed out all at once. \u201cI\u2019m sorry\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you work with me, at least I can make sure your life won\u2019t be too miserable in the future.\u201d Denton picked up the cigarette on the table and tried to light it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had never had these bad habits\u2013he didn\u2019t like smoking, and before he turned 18, he never drank\u00a0<\/p>\n
either.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the past, he couldn\u2019t even stand the smell of smoke, and he never had the money to afford cigarettes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But now, dealing with people who schemed against one another while pretending to be cordial, it felt like he had to start smoking just to blend in with this crowd of mask\u2013wearing pretenders.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The smoke stung his eyes so badly he could barely keep them open. Denton stayed quiet for a long time before speaking again. \u201cI\u2019m your only way out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He wasn\u2019t wrong. Someone as ruthless as Savannah would never allow anyone to know too many of her secrets. Women like Lily were just pawns, and pawns only ever ended up in one place\u2013in the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lily wiped her tears, finally understanding what Denton meant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This really was her only way to survive. She had to gamble. If they won, she believed that with Denton\u2019s character, he wouldn\u2019t let her end up in total ruin. \u201cOkay. I\u2019ll help you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton nodded. \u201cGet some sleep.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDenton \u2026 can I ask you something?\u201d Lily hesitated for a long time before finally speaking. \u201cFrom the very first time we met, have you only ever been using me? Have you ever\u2026 felt the tiniest trace of affection for me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton barely even thought about it. \u201cSorry. No.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t want to lie to Lily, and he didn\u2019t want to give her any illusions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lily looked at him through reddened eyes, and the tears started flowing again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had pretty much guessed the answer already, but she\u2019d still been hoping he might say something vague\u2013something she could use to comfort herself. Denton, however, wouldn\u2019t even bother to coax her with a white lie.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDenton \u2026 do you have someone you like?\u201d Lily pulled the blanket tight around herself and looked over at\u00a0<\/p>\n
him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denton fell silent. A face flashed through his mind, but even he wasn\u2019t sure if that feeling counted as \u201cliking.\u201d \u201cMaybe\u2026 but she doesn\u2019t like me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He thought of Yolanda, but Yolanda liked mature, steady men. From head to toe, including his toenails, he didn\u2019t meet a single one of her standards.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There was an age gap between him and Yolanda that he could never cross.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He hated that he\u2019d been born at the wrong time, hated that he\u2019d been born too late.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But that was a fact he couldn\u2019t change.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe woman you like is definitely going to be very happy,\u201d Lily whispered, slowly closing her eyes and turning her back to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In this lifetime, she wasn\u2019t going to run into love again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If there was a next life, she hoped she would never meet scum.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Early the next morning, Denton went to the Lincoln Group with Ernest. Savannah grabbed Lily by the arm. \u201cDid it work?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lily nodded. \u201cIt all happened too suddenly, so we didn\u2019t use protection. I need to go buy a morning\u2013after pill.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah let out a breath, a smile curling at the corners of her mouth. \u201cDon\u2019t let anything go wrong. Once Denton realizes he\u2019s been infected, there\u2019ll be no turning back.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lily\u2019s eyes grew red again. \u201cSavannah\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
if Denton finds out someday, he\u2019s definitely going to kill me. When that happens\u2026 can you give me some money and help me get out of the country?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah gave a cold little laugh, then smoothed over her expression and coaxed her. \u201cOf course. Don\u2019t worry. When all this is over, I\u2019ll make sure you end up with the best possible arrangement.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lily nodded.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After lunch, Denton came back home with Ernest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you for being willing to help me. Ever since Grandpa passed away, you and Savannah are the only ones still willing to stand by me like this\u2026\u201d Denton spoke softly, like he was forcing himself to swallow his grievances.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was young to begin with, and acting like that really did make him look like a sincere boy.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ernest patted Denton on the shoulder and sighed. \u201cBefore your grandpa passed away, the one he worried about most was you. As long as I\u2019m still in this house. I\u2019ll give everything I have to support you. Mr. Denton.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he spoke, Ernest\u2019s eyes turned red. \u201cDenton, when you were young, you were really just like Curtis. It\u00a0<\/p>\n
makes me\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both of them choked up and fell silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To anyone watching, the scene was enough to move them to tears. But unfortunately, people\u2019s hearts were hidden behind their chests, and everyone\u2019s face was just another mask.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This was nothing more than an old fox and a young fox testing each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDenton\u2026\u201d Lily called to him gently. She was a little shy, and her voice was careful.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Denton\u2019s eyes brightened, and he jogged over to her with a touch of awkwardness, taking her hand. \u201cDo you feel sick anywhere? Did you cat properly?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lily lowered her head and nodded shyly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One had to admit, Denton\u2019s acting talent was something he\u2019d been born with.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah\u2019s smile was full of satisfaction. This sweet newlywed honeymoon act between the young couple was exactly what she wanted to see.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDad, is there a lot of resistance to Denton taking over the company now?\u201d Savannah could barely wait to have Denton step in as head of the Lincoln Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ernest nodded. \u201cMost of the people Curtis left behind still only listen to Curtis. Before he died, Curtis said Denton wasn\u2019t allowed to take over the company until he\u2019d finished his studies. Those few at the top are all holding the line and refusing to move.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Savannah let out a cold snort. \u201cDenton is destined to be the one in charge of the Lincoln Group. What\u2019s wrong with him taking over a little earlier? Wouldn\u2019t it just give him more experience? I think they\u2019ve all got their own agendas\u2013they just want to cling to power and seize control while they can! Once Denton takes over, the first thing he should do is fire every last one of them!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
