In the adult world, breaking down was always silent.
Not far away, two people walked by, and voices of conversation came
over.
“Rod, thanks for coming to see my mom today. She was in a much better mood than the past few days. The doctor said being in a good mood helped her recovery.”
The woman’s voice was obviously acting cute, soft and gentle.
Rodrick said, “Why are you being so polite with me? I just said hi to Dr. Hale, and he told me that an overseas expert team would come to the hospital for a visit soon. He said he’d try to arrange something for me then.”
The man’s thoughtfulness and care made the woman even more touched.
“Rod, you were so nice to me, I didn’t even know how to thank you.”
“Dummy, did I ever say I wanted you to pay me back?”
That’s weird.
Britney, who had been crying really hard, actually calmed down after hearing these conversations.
Like a tranquilizer.
A more accurate way to describe it was–disheartened.
A businessman and capitalist who did investments actually said he

didn’t expect anything in return?
In the end, it was because she was Bianca, his first love he had secretly loved for years but could never have.
So he was willing to do things for her without expecting anything in
return.
Not only did he have her back in her career, he also took care of every little thing in her life.
Did my best and gave everything I had.

“Mr. Livingston, I really appreciated that you were willing to donate bone marrow for my mom.”
Eighteen–year–old Britney also once sincerely thanked someone.
Even though Rodrick was only twenty–one back then, he was just as cold as he is now.
She looked at her with no emotion in her eyes, no warmth either, “Saying thanks means nothing, Britney, I’m not someone who does things for nothing, and I didn’t see any sincerity from you.”
Britney, who hadn’t been beaten down by society yet, tried hard to figure out what he meant.
In the end, she blushed and unbuttoned her shirt one by one.
Back then, she had nothing.
The only thing I had to offer, the only thing that seemed to interest them, was just this young body.

When she was about to undo the last button, Rodrick said stop.
He politely looked away, his voice not as cold as before, even a bit flustered.
“I didn’t mean that.”
Britney was really embarrassed, turned around and fumbled with her buttons, feeling like her face was on fire.
In the end, Rodrick gave her a reward plan and asked her to go to Royarch Capital to help him.
Back then, Royarch Capital was really struggling, and the whole company, including Rodrick, had only four people.
After Britney joined as an intern, it became a five–person team, working out of a warehouse on the top floor of an old apartment building.
It was hot in summer and cold in winter.
That year, Riverton happened to have a once–in–fifty–years heat wave, with temperatures hitting forty–two degrees for over forty days in a
row.
The warehouse was as hot as an oven, and Britney got heatstroke three times.
I almost kicked the bucket…
Nominally, she was someone who had gone through tough times with Rodrick.
Seeing Royarch Capital getting better and better, it was finally time to share the good fortune.

She was left out.
Sure enough, it was just like they said.
The first thing I did after making it was to cut down the one I loved.
