Second chance

11.Heart Aches for Pany

Some people said that Stephanie was a very cold, bloodthirsty person, because he didn’t even spare his own father’s life, while others said he was a very successful person, because those standing at the top of the food chain didn’t need affection.

Everyone put their eyes on Stephanie and Liu Chengyu. They thought that no matter how powerful Stephanie was, he would show some respect to Liu’s Group. Just now, Liu Chengyu didn’t greet him in his own name, but in the name of “Liu’s Group”.

Everyone was wondering how Stephanie would react. Would he be friendly towards Liu’s Group, or just ignore Liu Chengyu?

Stephanie’s response was both as expected and unexpected by everyone.

He took a look at Liu Chengyu, nodded in greeting and then walked straight to Taeyeon.

Seeing him coming towards her step by step, Taeyeon felt her heart pound. He wouldn’t recognize her, would he? She had disguised herself well, so she was sure that he would never recognize her.

At this moment, she had a little monster living in her heart. The little monster was yelling in bewilderment, hoping yet fearing that Stephanie would recognize her.

Stephanie finally stopped in front of Taeyeon, then looked at Sooyoung with a frown. “Is she Erika?”

While Sooyoung had told him on the way that Erika was different now, he didn’t expect for her to have changed so greatly.

Stephanie had a very good memory, but he would only remember people and things that he was willing to remember. As for those he wasn’t, he would immediately remove the related memories out of his brain like throwing away garbage.

When he needed to remember them, however, he would quickly pick those memories up from his brain’s ‘trash bin’. Just now, when he saw Taeyeon, he immediately recalled what Taeyeon looked like in the sanatorium.

Although Erika was fair-skinned at the time, she was completely a different person from the woman before his eyes.

Taeyeon’s heart was pounding hard. Last time they had merely caught a glimpse of each other, but today he stood in front of her, looking at her in such a way that she could not escape from his presence.

That was how it used to be—he could see right through her at a single glance.

Sooyoung said something. Taeyeon didn’t hear his words, and only saw Stephanie nod and say, “She really looks like…”

‘Looks like whom? Taeyeon? Did you finally find out?’

“Look like what?” Sooyoung asked the question in Taeyeon’s mind.

Stephanie looked away from Taeyeon and said indifferently, “Like a high school student aged fifteen or sixteen.”

Disappointed that he didn’t recognize her, Taeyeon suppressed the bitterness in her heart and forced a smile as she asked, “Is Aunt Hwang all right?”

Stephanie narrowed his eyes and suddenly stared at Taeyeon. Taeyeon was surprised; what was up with him?

She coughed, clenched her fists to cheer herself on and then looked up at Stephanie. “Last time, I said I would go over to accompany Aunt Hwang for a chat, but then I realized that I forgot to ask for her contact information.”

Stephanie’s face gradually turned cold. “I’ll send someone to pick you up on Saturday. My mother misses you very much.”

Taeyeon nodded with a smile.

Liu Chengyu rarely got off his high horse to brown nose someone, yet Stephanie merely gave him the cold shoulder.

Besides, it seemed that the girl he cared about had a good relationship with Stephanie, and even the hostess of the Hwang Family, so he narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice,
