I was totally lost. What was he trying to say?
Neil looked at me all puzzled, then suddenly his face darkened and he just walked away.
I followed him in confusion. After a while, it hit me. I hadn’t checked if Neil had gotten homest night.
After he drove off, I didn’t bother to ask. I didn’t really care about what could happen between him and
Bonnie.
Was that why he was mad?
I noticed Neil getting jealous more easily, and always for unclear reasons.
“I was too tiredst night and fell asleep. I meant to check on you…” I said patiently. “I trust you, so I
don’t need to ask too much, right?”
“Don’t try to pull the wool over my eyes. I know how you used to treat me and how you treat me now”
Neil replied coldly.
He remembered how I used to treat him? My one-sided feelings back then must have left a mark.
I wasn’t sure if I should be happy, but I just burst intoughter
“You’reughing now? You’ve got guts.” Neil saw meughing and got even madder. “Don’t think that
just because you’re hurt, I won’t do anything to you.”
I stoppedughing immediately.
days. It will take some time. Alight, it’s all my fault. Now go get busy. I’ll try to get Ethan Foster to sign
the contract in the next few
“Good, you owe me after this is over,” Neil reminded me before he left. I pretended to agree, but I felt
uneasy.
How was I supposed to make it up to Neil? Have a baby for him? That was never going to happen.
After things were finally settled, Neil might start hating me.
My mom was awake now, and as long as she recovered well, she could go back to work. All I had to do
was help her.
“Neil, I need to talk to you!” I called out to Neil.
“What is it?” Neil stopped, looking puzzled.
“You should watch out for Louis Aldridge. It would be a good thing if you could keep him out of
Whitmore Co. I hadn’t meant to say this, but after seeing all that Neil had done for me, I considered it
payback.
Neil’s face changed Instantly. He probably had a hunch, but he valued his friends very much. Apart
from the strained rtionship he had with Russel because of me, he always put his friends first,
especially Louis, whom he had grown up with.
His mood seemed to have eased a bit, as if he were reassuring me. “Okay, I got it.”
Then he left.
About three dayster, Hannah received a phone call saying her husband had been arrested for arson
and murder. Only then did she realize that the fire at their home was indeed set by her husband.
You can file for divorce now.” I reminded Hannah.
“I pray that I will never see him again!” Hannah cursed her husband. There was not a trace of affection
for him in her eyes, only hatred.
But I still didn’t understand why Bonnie had never been punished. I thought someone was protecting
her Later, I found out that Neil had not used all the evidence and had let Bonnie off the hook on
purpose.
Neil and I were in sync, we didn’t contact each other, but we each focused on our own things. When I
returned to thepany, I took the initiative to contact FarHorizon Group and agreed to their
cooperation proposal, which gave me the opportunity to learn about the internal situation of FarHorizon
Group.
“Ms. Finch, Ms. Reynolds wants to see you” My assistant reported in a hurry.
Why was Chloe Reynolds looking for me again? Shouldn’t she be living a sweet life with Russel now?
had mixed feelings as I remembered the rumors on the inte and the IP address that showed her
location. Chloe didn’t seem as innocent as she looked. For Russel, she might do all sorts of
unexpected things.
“I don’t have time right now I replied.
But I didn’t expect Chloe to wait for me until I finished work. She was waiting for me at thepany’s
entrance.
I frowned, not wanting to talk to her.
However, Chloe came over and asked concernedly. “Ms. Finch, I heard you were injured. Are you
feeling better now?”
I was recovering well. Many people cared for me, like Ste, Hannah, and thepany’s staff. But
Chloe’s sudden concem made me feel a bit strange.

I’m fine, what’s up?” I replied casually.
Chloe looked around as if it weren’t a good ce to talk and asked quietly. “Can we go for a coffee? I
want to talk to you.”
She looked at me expectantly; her eyes were full of urgency, as if she needed my help with something
important.

But I didn’t want to talk to her about anything right now.
“I don’t have time, Ms. Reynolds. We’re not close.” I replied coldly.
I used to be nice to Chloe. I thought it wasn’t easy for her to love Russel so much while he didn’t love
her at all. But after I found out she had hurt me, I had no reason to be nice to her anymore.
Chloe was surprised by my change in attitude and awkwardly asked, “Yes, we’re not close, but we can
still chat, right? You know, if it weren’t for Russel, I wouldn’t bother you.”
“You’re engaged to Russel, so you’re his future wife; why do you need me?” I asked back, puzzled.
On hearing this, Chloe’s face changed instantly “Ms. Finch, can you help me? Russel wants to break
off our engagement.”
I was taken aback but quickly regained myposure. Russel had mentioned this to me before, I just
didn’t think he would really do it.
So Chloe was here to ask me to persuade Russel
I was beyond peeved. “Ms. Reynolds, I reckon you should sort this out with Russel, not me. I’m done
with him, and I am not getting involved in your mess. So, kindly stop bugging me.’ I said, my tone icy
cold.
I knew if I kept sticking my nose in their business, one day Chloe mighte at me again out of
jealousy.
Chloe looked super awkward, her eyes were brimming with tears. ‘Ms. Finch, I’m head over heels for
Russel, so I want to stand by him, but he’s still hung up on you. I’m out of options except foring to
you.”
I was about to respond when, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted Russel in the distance. He looked
stone-cold, and when he nced at Chloe, his eyes were filled with sheer hatred.
I realized he was nothing like the Russel I knew. It felt like he was a total stranger to me.
