Redmption 55
Bree’s hand trembled as she held mine. She then scolded, “That bastard! I’ll call him right now and
ask what exactly he’s trying to do. Didn’t he say there was nothing between him and that Massey
woman?”
She finally let go of my hand and reached for her phone. I moved my hand, which had gone numb
from her grip. I then said, “Bree, I’ve already talked to him at thepany. He’s agreed to break up.
And…”
I paused and then continued, “He’s also epted Jewel to work at thepany.” No matter how I
said it, today’s words sounded likeints. Since it was like that, I decided to be forthright and
tell them everything Christ
had done.
“What?” Bree and Zack were stunned.
Zack’s face darkened, and Bree questioned him, “Didn’t you say you had control over everything at
thepany? How did you not know about this?”
It was just as I had thought. Zack sat at home, fully aware of thepany’s affairs. But theings
and goings of an individual at thepany weren’t something that he, as the chairman, would
monitor closely.
Zack didn’t respond. His eyes showed evident anger. Seeing this, Bree said, Call Chris back and
ask him what’s going on.”

I stopped them. Chrising back would only make things messier.
“Bree, Zack, if you find this uneptable, imagine how I feel. He had a scandal with Jewel and yet,
he brought her to thepany. He didn’t care about me as
his fiancée.
“Maddie, we’ll make him get rid of that woman.” Bree grabbed my hand again.
“Bree, he blocked all contact with Jewel in front of me. It was the day before. we were supposed to
register for our marriage. But that didn’t stop him from apanying her to a prenatal check–up
the next day.
“So, getting rid of Jewel doesn’t solve the problem…” I said, pressing my lips together.
“The real issue is that Chris cares about her. For her, he can lie and disregard

“The real issue is that Chris cares about her. For her, he can lie and disregard
everything.” As I said this, my heart ached, and I felt humiliated. Despite being with Chris for so
long, I couldn’tpete with a widow’s allure.
Ultimately, I had failed.
My words left Bree and Zack speechless. I continued to speak my mind. “Zack, Bree, things
between Chris and me havee to this. Even if you force him to be with me, his heart isn’t here.
A loveless marriage would only bring me pain. If you truly care for me, you wouldn’t want me to
suffer in such a rtionship, right?”
“Maddie…” Bree’s eyes welled up.
“Maybe Chris… is just confused. Can’t you give him another chance. Wait a little longer, and let him
reflect on his actions?”
“What’s the use of waiting?” Zack’s voice turned stern.
“It’s his fault for failing Maddie. Why should she wait for him?” Zack’s words genuinely felt like he
was treating me as his daughter. I felt touched.
“Maddie, if Chris doesn’t appreciate you, don’t give him another chance. You deserve to find
someone better. If you don’t have anyone suitable, I can introduce you to some fine young men.
Zack’s words became more protective -like a real father standing up for his daughter.
However, Bree got anxious and red at him. “What are you talking about? Only Maddie can be
my daughter–inw. I won’t let her marry anyone else.”
What started as a sorrowful conversation turned into a lively one due to their banter.
“Are you nning on having another son? Zack humorously added.
Before Bree could respond, a familiar voice came from the door. “I think that’s a good idea.”
I looked up and saw Conrad standing in the doorway backlit. He was dressed in casual clothing and
pulled a suitcase.
His eyes were fixed on me, sprinkling with bright light.
