Chapter 578
Chapter 579
Cyril held out some fever medicine to Halsey . “ You should take them . ”
Halsey lay weakly in bed , her voice soft . “ I don’t want to take then
Cyril gave her a questioning look . “ What’s wrong ? Did Dwight reject you ? ”
Halsey shot her father a glare . Of course he’d bring that up now , right when she was already feeling miserable .
Cyril chuckled . “ What did I tell you ? You can’t win over Dwight . Let it go . Forget about him . ”
Halsey stayed silent , staring at the ceiling .
Cyril continued , “ There are plenty of great guys out there . I know so many talented young men . I’ll introduce you to a few . They say the best way to get over a relationship is to dive into a new one , right ? ”
Halsey hugged the blanket tighter , not responding .
Cyril placed the medicine on the nightstand . “ Take the meds . I’ll leave you alone . ”
With that , he walked out .
Halsey sat up and swallowed the pills , then lay back down , closing her eyes .
She figured she should listen to Cyril and forget Dwight .
After all , he had never truly cared for her . He had said so many cruel things to her , and now there was a new girl in his life .
But every time she closed her eyes , Dwight’s handsome face flashed in her mind , refusing to leave .
She really wanted to forget him , but she just couldn’t .
With a sigh , Halsey picked up her phone and opened up her WhatsApp .
She sent a message to Dwight . [ I’m running a fever . ]
Meanwhile , Dwight was meeting with the big boss , Jenson Field — Rachel’s father . Jenson was well – connected in the underground world . He was rotund , yet his eyes sparkled with sharpness .
Dwight handed over the week’s financial reports to Jenson , who looked them over , clearly pleased . He grinned and said , “ I knew I didn’t make a mistake trusting you . You’ve done in one week what it takes us half a year to achieve . You’ve got ambition and guts ! ”
Rachel , holding onto her father’s arm , chimed in , “ Dad , Dwight’s been working so hard . Why don’t you reward him and give him a day off ? ”
Jenson smiled fondly at his daughter . “ Are you hoping he’ll spend the day with you ? ”
“ What are you talking about , Dad … ” Rachel blushed , glancing at Dwight .
Dwight’s face remained stoic , giving nothing away .
Jenson stepped forward and placed a hand on Dwight’s shoulder . “ Dwight , my daughter’s feelings for you are clear , and I have a great deal of respect for you . I don’t have a son , but if you marry my daughter , we’ll be family . What’s mine will be yours . ”
Dwight looked at Rachel briefly before replying , “ Mr. Field , I’m afraid I’m not good enough for your daughter . ”
Rachel stomped her foot . “ Dwight , are you rejecting me ? Dad , I don’t care . I’m in love with Dwight ! ”
Jenson reached out , patting Dwight’s shoulder again . “ My daughter is into you , and I’m sure you’ll fall for her too . If you marry her , you’ll be my successor . Let me tell you something – I have connections with some important people , and I’ll introduce you to them . ”
