Chapter 43
After a while, I cooled down and saw Nett still looking at me quietly
I waved my hand signaling Ada to leave first.
When only Ned and I were left in the dining room, I calmly replied, “You’re overthinking it. If you can
give me a 3% stake in Whitmore Co, apany of that size, it would be more than enough for me to
live afortable life”
“Really?” Neil just asked back and then continued eating without looking at me.
I stopped talking and started eating, afraid that any ship of the tongue would give me away
After finishing my meal, I went to the music room to y the cello alone.
I didn’t know how much progress Neil had made with Bonnie these days. Now that the chemical project
was about to start, Bonnie would probably need him soon, right? Because my mind was elsewhere, I
yed several wrong notes in a row. In the end, I had to stop and wait for my emotions to calm down.
Luckily, Ned went to the office after eating. When I went downstairs again, there was no trace of him at
home.
I let out a sigh of relief, satfortably on the soft sofa, closed my eyes and rested. My mind was filled
with various fragmented images, many of which wereparisons between my past life and this life.
Unconsciously, I fell asleep on the sofa. By the time Ada woke me up for dinner, it was already getting
dark outside.
I felt a bit dizzy and had no appetite, so after eating a few bites, I decided to go upstairs and rest. But
then Oscar’s call woke me up.
Trene, are you free now? Let’s meet up!” Oscar’s voice sounded different from usual, as if he was
suppressing his anger.
I answered, “Yes. Where are you?”
Tm at the north gate of Sterling Estates.” Oscar’s reply took me by surprise.
I quickly changed my shoes and drove to the north gate of Sterling Estates. Sure enough, Oscar was
looking around by the roadside. He didn’t recognize me because I had changed my car.
I stopped in front of him and rolled down the window, “Oscar, get in. Let’s talk about itter.”
Oscar looked a bit surprised. He looked at my car, but there was no envy in his eyes, instead, he
seemed a bit ufortable.
He nodded and got in the car. I asked, “What happened?”
Oscar took out his phone and quickly said, “Irene, I’ve paid back the two thousand dors Bonnie owes
you. Thank you.”
I asked, surprised, “How did you know?”
“She told me everything. She had been working part-time at the Orchid Hotel to pay you back, but then
she lost her job,” Oscar said, looking down.
“Was she fired?” I asked on purpose.
“No..” Oscar grabbed his hair in frustration, his voice full of anger, “Irene, it’s that guy I mentioned to
you before. Bonnie promised me she would break up with him, but they’re still in touch. That guy must
be rich and powerful. Bonnie says she can’t avoid him, but she won’t tell me who he is!”
I felt a sinking feeling in my heart, “How did you find out?”
“I identally saw their messages. I was too angry at the time, I forgot to look at his phone number,
otherwise, I would definitely find out who he is!” Oscar replied.
This st upid kid. Even if he found out who the guy was, what could he do? Oscar was no match for Neil.
It seemed that Oscar and Bonnie had had another fight. He impulsively came to pay back the money
for her, probably fearing that Bonnie mightpromise with Neil for the
money.
“You have to trust Bonnie. She’s not that kind of girl. Since you said that the guy is rich and powerful,
he will definitely approach her aggressively. What you need to pay attention to now is not to fight with
Bonnie, but to trust her and understand her. Otherwise, you might push her towards another man! Do
you understand?” I advised him seriously.
Oscar didn’t say anything. He probably wasn’t in the mood to hear myforting words. When people
are angry, they can’t think, straight.
I drove to a bar, nning to keep Oscarpany and drown his sorrows in alcohol.
Oscar silently drank one drink after another. I didn’t say much, just controlled my own drinking.
Suddenly, I saw a familiar face. He was holding a young woman’s hand, and there were two or three
other men with them. They happily found a spot not far away and sat down
I frowned, then took out my phone and recorded a video.
A minuteter, I posted in a group chat, “Barbara, out for a drink with your Norman.”
Five or six minutester, Barbara replied, “I was just doing a facial mask. Norman is working overtime. I
cane out for a drink though. Are Ste and Ali going?”
Ste immediately sent a video of a lively scene and said, “I was already out. Two cute guys came to
Cielo Nocturno, so I came to check it out!”
Alicia sent a photo of her office desk piled high with documents. She said, “If this wasn’t my own
company, I would have quit!”
I didn’t have the patience to read their idle chatter, so I urged Barbara, “Then youe alone”
Then I send her my location.
Barbara sent a yawning emoji, “I’d better not. If I go out drinking tonight, my facial mask will be a waste.
I have to keep my skin smooth before getting married, haha…
I was somewhat annoyed How could this happen?
During my past life, Barbara and Norman happily got married, and there was no such outrageous
incident. If I didn’t know Oscar, I wouldn’t havee to this bar with him and wouldn’t have bumped
into Norman cheating
Barbara and Norman had always been one of the happier couples in my mind. Although I thought their
family backgrounds didn’t match, and there might be conflicts in the future, they were still living happily
until the time I died during my past life
I was hesitating Should I send the video to Barbara?
Just as I was hesitating, Norman and the woman were bing more and more intimate. The woman
was leaning on his shoulder, and they looked like a loving couple.
I would asionally whip out my phone and snap some pictures. Even if I don’t use these as evidence
to show Barbara now, I can keep them and tell herter.
