Richest Mogul 1094

“Minerva, breaking up with you was my mistake. If hitting me makes you feel better, go ahead,” Rowan said, looking at Minerva seriously.

She had never seen him apologize sincerely to anyone before. To most people, Rowan was carefree, never taking others seriously.

So, Minerva was a little stunned. She looked at him in surprise. This Rowan seemed very different from the one she knew—there was almost a sense that he actually cared about her.

Yes, almost.

“Do you think I’m easy to fool? Are you trying to go home, but your family demands something like reconciling with me before they let you return? As for you and Jenny, you’re still entangled with each other, so you’re using me as a stepping stone?

“Rowan, do you really think I’m so easy to deceive? Or, in your eyes, Jenny’s the only one worth treating well while the rest of us are just pawns for you to sacrifice? If that’s your plan, let me tell you, look for someone else. I won’t be playing your games!”

After saying that, there was no trace of wavering in Minerva’s eyes as she looked at Rowan.

When she saw him being stunned by her words, she yanked her hand free and took a few steps back. Then, she took some tissues out of her bag and wiped the spot where Rowan had held her, scrubbing hard, her disgust evident.

Rowan’s eyes widened in shock. “No, it’s not like that…” he began, but Minerva had already taken a few more steps back before he could finish.

Then, she raised her hand, signaling him to stay away.

“There’s no need for us to meet again. I don’t care whether you’ve broken up with Jenny or not. Let’s pretend we don’t know each other from now on,” Minerva said firmly, showing no emotion toward Rowan.

Rowan felt as if his whole body was frozen in place, unable to take a single step. He could only watch helplessly as Minerva walked away, the disdain and coldness in her gaze still lingering in his mind.

At some point, Jenny suddenly appeared behind him. “I’m quite happy seeing you being rejected and dismissed by Minerva. Rowan, we’re both in the same boat now, aren’t we?” she said.

Rowan heard Jenny’s voice but didn’t turn around to look at her or say a word.

Jenny wasn’t upset by this, as if she had expected this reaction. Seeing Rowan get rejected by Minerva made her feel a sense of balance, and she couldn’t help but laugh.

“Minerva will never forgive you. She’s way too proud. But who knows? Maybe if you keep pestering her, meeting her often, she might eventually forgive you. Don’t worry, I won’t be coming to find you anymore. Today is the last time we’ll ever see each other.”

As she was about to leave, she glanced back at Rowan with a complex gaze. Then, she looked up at the tall buildings surrounding them.

“Rowan, if I told you that I actually wanted to spend my life with you, would you believe me?”

She waited several minutes after asking that question, but Rowan gave no response. Eventually, he looked at her, and their eyes met.

Jenny clenched her fists tightly. “Alright, I’ve got my answer. The fact that you haven’t slept with me all this time says everything about where I stand with you.”

After walking a few more steps, she stopped again, turning back to look directly at Rowan.

“Before I go, I’ll do one good thing. I’ll explain everything to Minerva and tell her you never touched me. Whether she forgives you after that will be up to you. Rowan, you’re actually a good person.”

As she spoke, Jenny felt more and more reluctant to leave.

If she had known things would come to this, she should have stayed with him from the beginning.
