“Sandy!”Â
Florentino hadn’t expected to see her here. Instinctively, he grabbed her wrist. “Don’t go. I have something to say to you.”Â
Sandria forcefully shook him off and stepped back to keep her distance.Â
Her cold and distant attitude stung Florentino deeply.Â
“There’s nothing for us to talk about.”Â
“Sandy, I was wrong to mistake glass for pearls before. I know you can’t let go of our eight years together. As long as you’re willing, we can put the past behind us.”Â
Sandria let out a cold laugh, her alluring eyes sweeping over him, now icy cold.Â
“Mr. Burnham, is your comprehension getting worse, or was I not clear enough? The moment you got engaged, we were finished for good.”Â
“I’ve started a new life too. Don’t get too close to me-my boyfriend is the jealous type.”Â
Florentino felt a heavy ache in his chest.Â
The two who were once so close now seemed separated by a mountain-visible, but unreachable.Â
“Sandy, Fulbert isn’t a good person. He’s not as simple as he seems.”Â
“Oh?” Sandria raised an eyebrow, her fox-like eyes devoid of any warmth, only mockery. “How come I never real- ized, Mr. Burnham, that you’re the type to talk behind people’s backs? So underhanded?”Â
Seeing her misunderstanding, Florentino hurried to explain.Â
“Sandy, I’m not badmouthing him. I’m telling the truth. I even have evidence against him. If you don’t believe me, you can…”Â
“Sandy, you’ve been in the restroom for quite a while.”Â
Fulbert’s voice came from behind, cutting Florentino off.Â
When Sandria turned around, she saw the man swaggering over from a distance.Â
Antony had also come out, following behind.Â
The situation suddenly became a bit strange.Â
With three men surrounding Sandria, the scene was especially awkward.Â

Sandria didn’t want Florentino to keep pestering her in the future. Ignoring whether anyone was watching the scene behind her, she continued to confront him.Â
“I don’t care whose secrets you have in your hands; that has nothing to do with me. Adults should pay the price for their own choices, Mr. Burnham. I hope you understand that.”Â
The reason Florentino was so reluctant to let go and kept begging to get back together.Â
Most of it was because of her identity as Ms. Schroeder.Â
Unfortunately, there’s no such thing as a regret pill in this world.Â
Florentino naturally saw the two people as well. His expression changed, but he still wanted to fight for himself.Â
So he took a deep breath and spoke.Â
“I’ve already paid the price for my choices, Sandy. I was deceived by Courtney and the Mosley family, and at that time the company was having cash flow problems. If I hadn’t done what I did, I would have faced bankruptcy! So, can you give me another chance?”Â
Sandria was already tired of hearing these words.Â
“A selfish person will only make excuses for himself and never truly reflect on his own mistakes. Always wanting more, Mr. Burnham, you play this game so well. Unfortunately, I won’t let you manipulate me anymore!”Â
At this point.Â
Facing Florentino again, Sandria felt not the slightest ripple in her heart.Â
Once you see through someone, the calmness in your emotions is enough to prove that this person no longer matters in your world.Â
“If you pester me again, I’ll call the police and report you for harassment!”Â
Leaving those words behind, Sandria turned on her heel and walked away in her high heels.Â
As she passed by the two onlookers, she concealed her embarrassment and walked by with composure.Â
Fulbert, however, let out a mocking laugh.Â
“Mr. Burnham, do you need me to remind you how eager you were to break up and find someone new? And now you shamelessly come crawling back-don’t you find it ridiculous?”Â
Antony also spoke coldly, “Mr. Burnham, a good ex should be as good as dead.”Â
After speaking, the two exchanged a silent glance.Â
