    Chapter 161 Regret


    She had a tough attitude, but he wasn’t angry.


    It was as if she was the only one who was angry.


    Nathaniel didn’t care about her feelings, and said to himself, “I remember one night when I came back


    and saw you holding a book. It’s about market operations. You said you couldn’t understand it, and you


    just flipped through it casually. It’s not actually true, is it?”


    Hearing this, J asked. “So what? Mr. Webster, do you want to settle scores with me? Do you think


    that I had some ill intentions by your


    side before?”


    “I didn’t mean it that way.” Nathaniel rubbed his hair in frustration. ‘J, can you stop talking to me


    like this? No matter what, I used to be


    your husband.”


    He just suddenly thought of some details that he didn’t care much about in the past. If he paid a little


    attention to them at that time, he might find something.


    Then…


    Perhaps they wouldn’t divorce.


    “You used to be my husband,” J chuckled as if she had heard a joke. “I’m no longer that stupid


    woman before. Mr. Webster, do you think anyone will smile at their ex–husband?”


    Their rtionship now was like a thorn in Nathaniel’s heart, and the word “ex–husband” that J


    spoke of had pushed that thorn one


    inch closer into his heart.


    If he had stopped her from leaving at that time, if he had refused to sign, and if he hadn’t gone to the


    courthouse…


    A feeling of regret spread from the bottom of his heart.


    J nced at the time. It had been almost half an hour since she had left the venue, and the


    organizer had probablye to an agreement, so she was ready to return to the venue.


    Before she went back, she had told Nathaniel honestly.


    “Nathaniel, no matter what kind of intentions you have, whether you are curious or regretful, please


    stay away from me. Done is done, so


    don’t mention it again.”


    After saying this, J turned around and left.


    Looking at her back, Nathaniel had an illusion that he would never be able to get her again from now


    on.


    In the lounge.


    Nigel, Earl and Colin sat together, and the atmosphere was depressing.


    It had been almost half an hour, but they still had not reached a consensus. None of them were

    convinced.


    Nigel clearly expressed his standpoint. He absolutely supported J, but Earl and Colin did not agree


    with him.


    “Mr. Wheeler, this is business. You can’t decide while being influenced by personal feelings. Choosing


    the Webster Group is obviously the


    safest option.” Earl tried to persuade Nigel.


    “How will you know if you don’t try?” Nigel’s eyes were cold. “As you can see, the Longfellow Group’s


    stock prices are soaring. J justcks practical experience. She needs practice. Moreover,


    sometimes, the experience will affect creativity. I don’t have to exin this in


    detail.”


    Earl and Colin looked at each other, their eyes full of embarrassment.


    Although they were the organizers, in the end, the APP’s copyright was under Nigel’s name. If Nigel


    insisted, they could only do as Nigel


    said in the end.


    “Mr. Wheeler, why did you choose an unknown risk instead of a reliable method?” Colin asked him,


    “You are not such an irrational person. I


    know that you like J, but…”


    “That’s enough.


    “This has nothing to do with whether I like her or not,” Nigel interrupted in a deep voice.


    The atmosphere became tenser. Nigel took a deep breath and said, “I’m going out for a while. Let’s


    calm down and think about it. We will


    continue in five minutes.”


    Having said that, he left the lounge, and Earl followed him out, leaving Colin alone in the room.


    At this time, Anastasia had been waiting for Nathaniel in the meeting room for a long time, but he


    hadn’te back. She nced at the watch. It had been almost half an hour since the organizers had


    begun the discussion, and they hadn’t shown up yet.


    Anastasia couldn’t help but feel a little worried.


    Although Anastasia trusted Nathaniel very much, J had some connections with the organizers, and


    Nigel was the developer of the APP. Who knew if something was going on between them?


    She had to help Nathaniel.


    She had to win his heart.


    Thinking of this, Anastasia left the venue and went to the organizer’s lounge at the end of the corridor.


    The door did not close tightly. She peeked through the gap in the door and found that there was only


    one person inside.


    It was exactly what she wanted.


    Anastasia deliberately pulled down her cor, gently knocked on the door, and then pushed the door


    open. She walked toward Colin.
