Chapter 22
Emery said, “Krista, you’re my dad’s aunt, my grandma’s only sister. It’s just a gift from my dad. What’s wrong with it? If my
mom gets mad about that, she’s not sensible.”
“Emery, you’re too young to understand.”
Terrence said calmly, “Take it. I bought it. I decide whom I give it
to.”
“But-”
“No buts.”
Terrence interrupted her. “I wanted to buy it for you a long time
ago. I’ve waited for seven years. Now, it has finally appeared. It
belongs to you.”
Krista was on cloud nine.
Terrence still loved her.
“OK. Well, thank you.”
Half an hour later.
The news that Terrence, the heir to the McConnell Group, spent
H
Chapter 22
$150 million on Burning Love for the mysterious Mrs. McConnell
was spread everywhere.
When Terrence and Emery went out, the reporters had taken
photos of them. The outsiders knew Terrence was married, but
they didn’t know who his wife was.
Now that the paparazzi had snapped this photo, they’d make the
most of it for hits.
Terrence was a business tycoon. He himself was a trending topic.
He paid attention to his private life. There had never been
scandals in that aspect.
Many people wondered what kind of woman his wife was.
However, the woman in the photo was blocked by Terrence.
Only her side face could be seen. People only knew she had
straight, long hair.
Judging from how good her hair was, the outsiders guessed she was from a rich family.
Bethany didn’t wanna know anything about Terrence. Yet when she turned on her phone, there was news about him everywhere.
Other people couldn’t tell who the woman with him was. But Bethany knew it was Krista at a glance.

$150 million.
Burning Love…
Emery had put the tiara on Krista personally.
All these things stung like thorns.
Burning Love was said to be designed during the Renaissance.
The last prince of a collapsing country fell in love with his aunt.
He specially made the tiara for her.
Burning Love symbolized forbidden love.
Now, Terrence had given it to Krista.
Was she really his aunt?
Randy had seriously reminded Bethany twice to try to win
Terrence’s heart.
That meant he knew what was going on between Terrence and
Krista. He didn’t want them to be together.
Only after they got married did Bethany know Terrence’s mom
had endometrial cancer during pregnancy.
To give birth to Terrence, she refused treatment.
The day Terrence was born, his mom died of a massive
Chapter 22
hemorrhage.
Then, his mom became taboo for him.
His family had hardly mentioned his birth mom.
Bethany didn’t even know what her name was.
And she had never met anyone from Terrence’s mom’s family.
So, she didn’t know whether Krista was really Terrence’s aunt.
But she was sure about one thing: Terrence did love Krista.
His love was passionate like roaring flames.
Bethany pressed her lips together. She wanted a divorce. But no
lawyer dared to turn against Terrence.
The day she was suddenly diagnosed as having cancer, the doctor
said she only had six months to live. So, divorce or no divorce, it
didn’t matter anymore.
If she died, Terrence would be automatically single.
But right now, she still wanted to get divorced.
She didn’t wanna be Terrence’s wife for the last six months of her
life.
Chapter 22
When Terrence and Emery returned from Southmount, she’d go
to Rivermond to talk with Terrence about their divorce.
Rivermond happened to be the second stop of Joanne’s comic
convention.
As soon as Krista saw the news online, she knocked on Terrence’s door.
