Chapter 1516
Harper leaned against the bar, sizing up Edith. “You look gentle and elegant, like the girl next door. I
didn’t expect you to have a bossy style.”
The surroundings and furniture were all typical of the business elite, cold and lacking any warmth.
Edith smiled and took out a bottle of wine. She used her fingers
to pick up two tall glasses and handed them to Harper. “Have a
drink.”
Harper reached out to take the glass of wine, hesitated for a moment, then quickly regained her
composure. “It’s too late, I

A faint smile appeared on Edith’s elegant face. “Oh, are you afraid
of revealing some secrets to me after drinking too much?”
“I don’t have any secrets to reveal.”
Edith tapped her glass against Harper’s. “Then have a few drinks
with me and let’s see who reveals their secrets first.”
Harper couldn’t resist this challenge and immediately agreed.

“What do you want to hear?”
Edith held her glass and turned around, leaning against the bar, looking out at the bustling traffic
outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

feel that Edith was more mature than her.
Yes, she had experienced passionate and heart-wrenching love, and she had suffered from
depression. How could she not be mature?
But the problem was, Harper didn’t know how to answer. She stared at the glass of red wine in her
hand, remained silent for a while, and finally spoke up.
“I won’t get mated again.”
Without mentioning Preston, she gave an answer with just one sentence.
Edith understood very well that when a woman no longer loved a man, she would clearly say that she
didn’t love him, just like herself.
But Harper’s words were reserved. She only said she wouldn’t get mated again, which didn’t mean she
no longer loved Preston.
She believed her brother still had a chance, but how to seize it would depend on him.
“What about you?”
