When the plane landed, it was Kieran who came to pick me up.
At eighteen, he had saved a girl but was falsely accused of sexual assault and sentenced
to three years in prison.
Because of his criminal record, no company was willing to hire him.
I met him at an art exhibition. He never communicated with anyone, always keeping his
head down.
When others approached him, he would timidly retreat.
Later, one night on my way home, I encountered some thugs and was almost assaulted. He happened to pass by. I thought he would turn a blind eye.
But he didn’t. He didn’t hesitate for a moment.
That day I asked him: “What if I also falsely accuse you?”
He smiled bitterly: “Then I’ll accept it.”

I used my family’s influence to clear his name. On the day the truth came to light, he stood in the distance, looking at me with red eyes over the crowd, bowing in gratitude.
Three years in prison hadn’t erased his kindness.
My father, because Kieran had saved me, offered him an olive branch and arranged for him to join the company.
Starting from the bottom, now he has become my father’s most capable assistant.
“Miss, long time no see,” Kieran said, wearing a trench coat and taking my suitcase.
I nodded, feeling an inexplicable lump in my throat.
Five years ago, after I married Silas and moved north with him, Kieran was sent by my father to England for closed training. In my previous life, I never saw Kieran again until I
died.
“Miss, are you leaving again after coming back this time?” he asked me.
I said: “No, I’m not leaving.”
Kieran laughed slightly, “Mr. Chu is very happy to know that you’re back.”
Suddenly, I was stunned for a moment, my hand in my pocket tightening involuntarily, a hint of bitterness spreading in my heart.
Back then, my divorce from Silas became public knowledge.
My father, afraid that I would be wronged, flew over overnight.
He tried to persuade me earnestly:
“Silas always misjudges situations.”
“Back then, he would rather cooperate with Jane’s old man than accept your help. To put
it nicely, he didn’t want to rely on you, but to be frank, wasn’t he relying on Jane’s family’s investment?”

“Thea, it’s okay if you’re divorced. Silas isn’t suitable for you.”
He wanted to take me back.
But I refused, crying and making a fuss about wanting to stay.
I said tearfully: “I love Silas, I don’t want to divorce.”
“Why should I be sacrificed for his debt of gratitude? Even if he drives me to death, I
absolutely won’t leave. I won’t go.””

In the end, my father was so angry that he had a heart attack and was sent to the ICU,
with several critical condition notices issued.
Overnight, my mother’s hair turned white.
Later, when my father woke up, he didn’t say anything, but I knew he was disappointed in
- me.
As my mother was leaving, she was still trying to persuade me: “Your dad has never
interfered with any of your decisions all these years.”
“But Silas is not a good man.”
At that time, I couldn’t listen to anything, stubbornly insisting on hitting the wall.
In the end, it cost me my life before I understood.
To Silas, I was never that important.
“Are they all well?” I asked Kieran.
Kieran nodded: “The company is developing very well, and Mr. and Mrs. Chu are both in
good health.”
I smiled slightly, meeting his cool gaze: “Thank you, Kieran.”
Thank you for fulfilling my filial duty on my behalf.

Kieran shook his head.
He said this was what he should do.
If it weren’t for me and my father giving him a hand back then, he might have died in some corner long ago.
