Chapter 206: [Bonus - ]Tighten your stomach
"Sis... what should I do? I’m done for."
Even without the original Heaven’s memories, her time spent with Axel was enough to know what sort of person Axel was. Even though this guy was childish as hell and too arrogant for his own good, he had countless redeemable qualities.
One of those qualities was his pride in being independent. From what she heard from Dominic, Axel wasn’t just getting any allowance from the family. It wasn’t as easy as it appeared, though he still had some benefits being a Zhu.
Axel was actually a president of a subsidiary company of the LYON Group, earning everything on his own. One could easily invalidate that fact just because he was part of the Zhu family, but Dominic himself asserted Axel was one of the most hardworking people he had ever met.
Axel wasn’t used to asking for other people’s help. He lived alone, took care of himself even when he was sick, funded his lifestyle, and did all sorts of things that any individual person had to endure on their journey of independence.
For him to uncover all the countless layers in front of Heaven only meant one thing: desperation.
And that... was something she was so familiar with, as she had seen the desperation in countless people’s eyes before her.
Seeing the fear and desperation dominating his face, Heaven’s heart sank.
