Chapter 1430


    Chapter 1430


    They agreed to meet at the coffee shop near the Thompson Group the next day.


    Renee wore a white outfit and appeared tired. She arrived before Toph and patiently waited for him by


    the window.


    This coffee shop used to be their regr spot, and this seat was their usual ce. However, everything


    had changed, even though the setting remained the same.


    When Toph entered the coffee shop and saw Renee by the window, it felt like he had been transported


    back in time for a moment. She held her cup carefully, her gaze hesitant as she looked at him, not


    daring to speak.


    A pang shot through Toph’s heart, like needles pricking him.


    He walked over slowly and sat across from her. When Renee saw him, she froze for a moment and


    then smiled, pushing a vanitte toward him.


    “This is your favorite,” she said.


    Toph nced at it and smiled wryly.


    It was not his favorite.


    He loved the rich and sweet mhiato. He had only said he liked it when he brought her here for the


    first time. After that, he always ordered mhiato. But Renee had never paid attention to that detail, or


    maybe she had never cared about his preferences.

    It turned out there had been signs all along.


    Toph thanked her softly and took a sip out of politeness.


    “Toph, I…” Before Renee could form a sentence, her eyes welled up with tears.


    Toph handed her a tissue and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”


    “I… I know I was wrong.” Renee choked out. “Toph, could you please help me? Other than you, I really


    have nothing left…”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…


    Toph paused. Renee’s hand rested on the back of his hand, and he instinctively pulled it back slightly.


    The movement was subtle, but he was surprised by his own action.


    Did this mean that he subconsciously wanted to distance himself from her?


    Toph’s heart raced. He looked into Renee’s eyes, finding something he could not quite understand


    within them.


    “Lina’s pregnant now, and Zuko’s overseeing the Thompson Group for the time being…” Renee wiped


    her tears. “But he publicly revoked my shares during the board meeting that day!”


    Toph frowned slightly. He had heard about this incident from Zuko, but thetter had only briefly


    mentioned it. Zuko had mentioned Renee and Jacquelin had plotted to leakpany client information


    and got caught.


    Jacquelin was already at the police station, and Renee’s punishment was losing her shares.


    Toph fell silent for a moment. “Renee, you’re wrong in this matter.”


    “I know, I know!” Renee admitted her mistake straightforwardly this time. “Toph, I know I was wrong… I


    was wrong not only about this incident but also about everything before. I shouldn’t have quarreled with


    you or forced you to do things you didn’t like. I’ve made terrible mistakes!”


    Her voice quivered as she implored him. “Toph, can you forgive me? For the sake of our past, can you


    forgive me this time, please?”


    Toph was surprised but quickly realized something was off about this.


    Still, he held onto a glimmer of hope and asked, “Renee, you’re asking me to forgive you. What’s the


    real purpose behind it? Do you genuinely want us to reconcile, or do you want me to help you regain


    your shares?”
