Chapter 592


    Regardless of what Heather said now, Myra wouldn’t listen to any of it. Heather couldn’t think of a


    better countermeasure. She had imagined this sort of situation happening before, but she never


    thought through how to face it.


    “I don’t want to see you.” Looking at Heather’s indifferent expression, Myra couldn’t see the slightest bit


    of sincerity. It didn’t look like she was remorseful at all.


    Myra regretted having met Heather. No matter what Heather did now, it would all be misinterpreted in


    her eyes. Their friendship had ultimately been jeopardized.


    All along, Heather never liked to give exnations, but she already did her best to exin things to


    Myra. It didn’t look like Myra wanted an exnation from her at this point. Nheless, what could she


    do? She waspletely at fault.


    She maintained eye contact with Myra for quite some time. It was the first time Myra looked this tough


    in front of her. Her mouth opened slightly; the words had reached her mouth, but she couldn’t speak


    them out loud.


    While they were locked in a stalemate, Myra was the first to turn around. When she called Heather over


    this time, she held onto a thread of hope and probably didn’t think things would turn out this way.


    It was Heather’s fault for abusing her trust. This came as such a heavy blow to Myra that she couldn’t


    bring herself to look at Heather in the face. She always thought that Heather was only a conniving


    person to outsiders, but it turned out that she herself had gotten caught up in her schemes. Heather’s


    selfishness could make one’s blood boil.


    “I can still—”


    Heather’s words got cut off right away. Standing with her back straight, Myra was cold and distant.


    “What else are you using me for?” Myra didn’t even want to look at Heather while she spoke without a


    trace of warmth in her voice.


    Heather wasn’t able to proudly im that she had never taken advantage of Myra before. A while ago,


    she nned to mend the rtionship between the Langston and Hart Families through Myra. If that


    counted as taking advantage of someone, then Heather had used Myra many, many times.


    “You really took full advantage of me. It looks like I’m quite valuable to you, seeing as you stayed


    friends with me for so many years.” Myra’s words were filled with ridicule. Even though she was sad,


    she had to say a few things to hurt Heather. She really couldn’t help herself.


    Now that they hade to this point, Heather was forced to reflect on herself. She was starting to hate


    herself more for ending up as a cold-blooded ace business person who was blinded by greed.


    If she had even the slightest bit of repentance back then, perhaps they wouldn’t havee to this.


    Myra’s right. I am selfish, yet I can’t admit it, and I’m even defending myself with excuses. I have to


    face my dark side head-on. After all, things that had already happened can’t be treated as though they


    never had.


    “I admit that I was selfish, and I understand if you don’t want to forgive me. I just hope you’ll give me


    another chance to make up for my wrongdoings.” Heather gave an earnest plea. Apart from making up


    for her mistakes now, there wasn’t a better way.


    “No need. Haven’t you done enough of that all these years? Thinking about it now, every time you did


    something that made you feel sorry for me, you would always treat me a lot better. I felt grateful each


    time and always thought about giving back to you twice as much. I didn’t think there was a better friend


    than you in this world. But I only just realized that you never treated me as one.” Myra couldn’t ept


    this contrast. Before Tony showed up in her life, the person she depended on and trusted the most was


    Heather.


    Their friendship felt like a joke now. Even at this moment, Myra couldn’t bring herself to say anything


    mean to Heather. The words were just stuck in her throat, unable to be said out loud.


    Heather lowered her head dejectedly. There is no point in trying to exin further. This time, Myra isn’t


    going to forgive me so easily. From the outside, her silhouette looked very deste.


    “Leave, and don’te back again.” Myra spoke lightly, but the weight of these words made Heather’s


    heart sink.


    After Myra was done, she left the living room. They didn’t even have a cup of tea to drink. Myra was


    absolutely resolute this time. Once Myra was gone, Heather left the house by herself; it felt like the


    N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    strength had drained from her body, and she had to use all her energy to open the door.


    At this moment, she wasn’t expecting to see Matthias outside the house. He had found information on


    Leon and driven to Myra’s house to wait for Heather.


    Coming out of the vi, Heather saw his car parked in clear view outside, but she simply walked past


    his car in low spirits, as though she hadn’t seen a thing.


    Getting out of the car, he grabbed Heather and said, “Get in my car.” He still felt uneasy about showing


    up in front of Myra’s house so hastily.


    Heather allowed herself to be pulled into the car. Once she was in the passenger seat, she didn’t fasten


    her seatbelt, which triggered the car safety rm that started to annoy Matthias.


    After driving a distance away from the vi, he stopped the car and helped fasten her seatbelt for her.


    He was saddened to see the bleak look in her eyes, but he didn’t know what had happened to her.


    “What’s wrong?” His gentle voice also failed to bring Heather back to her senses. It looked like she had


    lost her soul and was a mere wandering spirit.


    “Get me out of Bradfort City.” She didn’t want to stay here anymore. Her emotions were a wreck.


    “Where do you want to go?” He was rather taken aback. Why does she want to leave Bradfort City all


    of a sudden? Something isn’t right about her. Did she and Myra get into a fight?


    Thinking about how the both of them used to be so close to each other that they were practically one


    person, he wondered what conflict they could’ve had that made Heather look this dejected. It pained


    him just to see her that way.


    “Don’t ask me any questions. Just be with me, okay?” The ‘okay’ she said at the end sounded so weak


    that he couldn’t bear to say no to her.


    Hence, he gave her a firm nod. He was willing to spend his whole life with her. No matter what had


    happened to her, he was her pir to rely on at this moment.


    After that, the two stopped talking. Heather stared nkly ahead while Matthias focused on driving.


    Neither of them knew where their destination was, and they just drove aimlessly.


    The only thought he had in mind was driving out of Bradfort City, and the rest could be discussedter.


    Heather became vulnerable so suddenly that he also felt the pain.


    A long whileter, they finally drove out of Bradfort City. That was when he brought up Leon to her, but


    she only gave him an indifferent murmur in response and did not make another sound.


    “We’re about to reach a fork in the road. Should we go left or right?” He asked for her opinion as he


    didn’t know where they were headed either. Currently, it somehow felt like they were eloping together.


    “Right,” she replied with one simple remark. Seeing her listless appearance, he felt like taking her to


    see a doctor badly.


    “It’s so cold out. Why don’t we go south instead?” He treated this hasty journey as a trip. Since it was


    their trip, he figured they should go somewhere with a beautiful view.


    He already had a ce in mind—he wanted to go to Soville. However, Soville was so far away, so it


    wasn’t practical to drive there, and it was much more reasonable to take a ne.


    “Okay.” Without the slightest suspense, Heather lost her own judgment and went with anything he said.


    He couldn’t bear to see her this way. How much longer will this situation go on for?


    “Should we go to Soville?” he continued asking. Roske in Soville was a suitable ce for a trip


    during winter. There wasn’t any smog there, nor was the winter dry and cold like it was in the north.


    “I want to go abroad.” She didn’t even want to stay in the country and wanted to go somewhere further


    away. The further she could be from Bradfort City, the better.


    Heather didn’t think she would be an escapee one day—someone who was trying to escape from


    reality—but Myra’s words were still ringing in her head, and she couldn’t forgive herself. Her mind was


    in such a mess that it was impossible for her to think straight.


    “Do you want to go to Northern Europe or the United States?” He followed up on her statement.


    “Northern Europe.” She was only resorting to mechanical judgments now.


    “Let’s go to Norway, then.” He immediately thought of a new location to go to.


    “Okay,” she murmured and did not go on to say more.


    “I’ll drive to the airport. We’ll take a flight there.” He had been driving for a long time now and was


    slightly worn out. Moreover, the sky was also getting dark.


    When she didn’t answer him, he assumed that she agreed. Turning on the navigation system, he


    wanted to find the closest airport to them. They might have to transfer flights on their way to Norway.


    He never got to appreciate the scenery in Northern Europe, but he would get the chance to now with


    Heather.


    Upon making the hasty decision, neither of them seemed to remember that Heather’spany was


    going to open for business on New Year’s Day. At the moment, starting a business was thest thing


    on her mind.


    Another core member of thepany, Leon, was also facing aplicated situation. It was going to


    be difficult for thepany to open for business on New Year’s Day. Presently, the only people


    concerned about starting a business was Paige and her father. They weren’t aware of what had


    happened and were still set on preparing for the opening of the business.


    Without realizing, Heather might have to let Paige and her father down again as she was not in the


    right state of mind to attend topany matters. Furthermore, she was even doubting whether she


    was fit to be a business person. She was truly tired and weary now.


    She had only lived through less than half of her life, but she was already wavering. She was not fit to


    be a business person anymore. The more concerned she was about this, the more she wasn’t able to


    make hard-hearted decisions. Perhaps she couldn’t be a good person nor a good businesswoman.


    “Matthias, am I a failure?” she asked suddenly. They were still a long distance away from the airport,


    but she felt like they had been on the road for a long time; it was as though half a century had passed


    by.


    “Why are you asking that all of a sudden?” He looked at her quizzically. The current Heather no longer


    had the energetic spirit and confidence from before. Who knew there woulde a day when she


    would also grow inferior?


    This made him extremely astonished. It seemed like she had been doubting herself all this while, and


    he could only watch on helplessly from the side.


    “Forget it. I don’t want to know the answer.” She went limp in her seat, as though she had used up all


    her strength.


    “You’re always outstanding and extraordinary to me. I don’t know what exactly happened, but I hope


    you can pull yourself together soon,” he encouraged. Seeing her this way, he couldn’t be happy himself


    either.


    “I’m not fit to be a businesswoman, nor do I qualify as a decent human being. I know I have many


    ws, but I don’t know how to fix them,” she repented.
