At the Central Vegetable Market, having witnessed Gilbert’s fate of being dragged away like a sack of
potatoes, Lilly could no longer care about her pride. She desperately threw herself at Richard’s leg.
Lilly lifted her unsightly face and begged him, “Darling, it’s all my fault! I’m wrong for treating you the
way I did before!”
Gilbert was already some distance away. She sniffled before turning back to point at him spitefully. “It
was him! He forced me into adultery! I was deceived! It was his ploy to have me take the vegetable stall
in Sector E from you!”
Some ten meters away, out of curiosity, Jerry was watching them from a distance.
After taking a closer look at Lilly’s almost bucket-thick waist, he pouted his lips in disbelief.
Richard lowered his head. The two of them had spent more than ten years together. With a

He lifted his leg to free it from her clenches. Richard’s face was filled with disdain. “You think I don’t
know that it was you who seduced him… certainly not with your charm, but with money.”
He let out a frustrating sigh, then shook his head mockingly. “I went along with the divorce because I
didn’t want to get in the way of your treacherous relationship, but now because of money, you’re after
my stall? It’s only worth a couple hundred thousand at best. After all, we did spend the last ten years or
so together. Is there a need for you to go this far?”
Franklin shot a glare at Lilly and patted Richard on the shoulder. “Rich, let bygones be bygones. There
are still plenty of fishes in the sea. Once I put the Oriental Tower under your care, you’ll be earning
millions for a start! You can have any cars or houses you want!”
“Putting Oriental Tower under my care!?” Richard twitched his brows. “Chairman, I thought you’re only
renting one of the floors?”
“One of the floors?” Franklin looked proudly at Jacob as he approached them. “Rich, it is true that I’ve
been stagnant for the past six years, but God was kind enough to bring back my capable son!”
He puffed his chest slightly and said with a smile, “Two days ago, Jacob bought the Oriental Tower and
presented it to me. For the past two days, without your help, I didn’t even have the time to check up on
my daughter-in-law at home.”
“Chairman does that mean…” Richard was a little worked up. “You have sacked Mark Hansel? You
know… that annoying fat f*ck?”
“Ha! You think that’s it?” Franklin sounded pleased as he waved his hand at Richard. “He was charged
with power abuse and eventually brought in for extortion. He’ll be in for at least eight to ten years.”
“Hahahaha! Serves him right!” Richard was laughing away.
“Rich…” Lilly leaned toward the lower half of his body. “We’ve spent more than ten years as husband
and wife. Can you please forgive me this time? I promise…”
“Get lost!” Richard kept his smile and gave her a disgusted look. “Look at you now. You’re a sight for
sore eyes! You may dream on, but I’ll never forgive you!”

Tomorrow, I’ll see you back at the Oriental Tower.”
Franklin was repulsed to see her like that as well. He grabbed Richard and together, they left the
scene.
“Rich!” Lilly was in grief. She shouted his name regretfully.
Richard had already steeled his heart. He no longer felt sympathy toward her. Without turning his head,
Richard marched on with his newfound resolve.
He was even joking with Franklin as they left. “Fortunately, I don’t have any children with her.
Otherwise, this would take a while.”
“Going back to being a bachelor might actually be a blessing in disguise.” Franklin raised his brow.
“You should know that two people together will not necessarily guarantee you happiness.”
Richard smiled at him bitterly. “We’ll see what fate has in store for me.”
