Domineering Love
Chapter 316 - 316 316 Emotions have never been predetermined

Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Emotions have never been predetermined Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Emotions have never been predetermined She felt like an emotional thief, unknowingly stealing someone else’s love.

William Griffith couldn’t have been completely uninterested in her because of her appearance. It was because she looked so much like Chloe Turner that he took notice of her, right?

“I’m sorry…” Cherish blurted out, seemingly lost for words other than an apology.

Upon hearing this, Chloe felt a hint of disdain in her heart.

Sorry? Wasn’t that meant to be Cherish’s apology to her? It implied that deep down, she didn’t want to simply hand over William, and how could that be?

“Cherish, do you really think you owe me an apology? You should know, that’s not all I want from you.”

Cherish understood her words. It seemed that the two of them were bound to compete with each other, as there was only one William Griffith in this world, and they couldn’t split him in half.

Cherish asked herself over and over, should she let go? The answer in her heart was reluctant.

“I’ve already been down this path, the more I walk, the more wrong it feels, the further I am. But you’re different, you still have a chance to change course. The Turner Family’s sinner, with just me, is enough. You need to restore our family.”

Chloe spoke while sitting on the bed, her gaze off into the distance.

Cherish didn’t understand the meaning of her words, but ever since arriving in Kyoto City, she had a vague idea that there was a long-standing enmity between the Turner and Griffith Families.

“Our father was once a prominent figure in Kyoto City. He was the city’s party secretary, and our brother, Bob Turner, was the president of Turner Group. Kyoto City was famous for its mines, and the Turner Clan monopolized the entire city’s mining industry.”

Chloe narrated their family’s past, while Cherish listened attentively, imagining that she was born in such a wealthy and powerful family. She wondered if she should feel fortunate or unfortunate.

Back in Haicheng, their days were not rich, but life was simple. They didn’t worry about food or clothing and enjoyed the warmth of their four-member family. Now she had been forcefully thrust into a space she didn’t know, having to accept a past she was not prepared for.

“Later, the mine collapsed, and dozens of lives were lost in that disaster. The case was so big that it shook the entire Kyoto City and even the whole country. Our father was definitely implicated in it, so he was arrested. Our brother, Bob, constantly sought help for our father’s case, but was constantly met with walls. What was most unexpected was the heartlessness of the Griffith Family. It was they who wanted a share of the profits, and it was they who hid the fastest when trouble came. So how can you still like someone from the Griffith Family?”

The story Chloe told resonated deeply, but Cherish didn’t have that memory. Although it affected her, it wasn’t profound. On a moral level, a voice told her that she couldn’t be with a man from a vengeful family, but another voice seemed to say that she was just an outsider. The start of a relationship was never predetermined, so once she loved, she could only love, with no room for change.

Hence, Cherish didn’t know how to choose or follow her own heart.

So, she attributed her decision to one of the simplest yet most important points: William Griffith’s son.

“What about Lewis? Is he your and William Griffith’s child?” When confronted with this question, Chloe clearly froze, not expecting her to suddenly shift the topic to the child.
