Chapter: 474
Oscar's eyebrows lifted. "He's ready to spend 30 million dollars for you? That's genuine affection.”
Oscar was taken aback that her boyfriend's immediate response wasn't to leave her.
They had witnessed countless couples dispute over financial issues.
Even long-married partners would claim to have no funds when pressed for money.
Wealth was advantageous, enabling one to relish various pleasures and comforts.
However, love's value couldn't be tallied in currency.
Norah cast her gaze downward, pondering whether Sean's feelings for her were truly love.
Defining love was an elusive task.
Reflecting on his past, a sorrowful Riss expressed, "If I could have her back, I'd give everything I own."
"Riss, let it go. She's gone. Didn't her body lying there convince you?"
Norah sensed something off in Riss’ demeanor. After she shared the news, he changed.
He seemed lost in sorrow, trapped in a bitter memory.
“No, she promised to love me always. I was just out mingling, and then she chose to end her life in the river."
"Riss, being unfaithful isn't just mingling."
As the siblings discussed, Norah managed to understand the whole story.
Riss used to love this woman, but he couldn't shake off his playful ways. When he messed around with another woman, he got caught red- handed. Eventually, the poor lady couldn't take it and ended up leaping into the river, ending her Life.
Riss couldn't handle it, so he decided to swear off falling in love and messing around with women altogether.
Norah gave a snarky grin and glanced at Riss, who was going back and forth with Oscar. What was the point of missing her after she was dead?
The love he longed for wouldn't return.
Norah felt disgusted recalling Derek's affair with Madeline.
In regret, Riss clutched his head. She was indeed dead. He had seen her body and laid her to rest. Since then, no other woman had touched his heart the same way.
Hearing Norah, Riss almost wished his past lover was still alive, but he knew it was just a wishful thought.
Riss was the leader of the largest gang in Lochdeer, which meant he got a handle on his feelings pretty quickly.
"Why did you go after Jack and his crew? I've been told by those who made it out that it was just the four of you. How did you manage to take them down?"
