After Losing My Memory, I Divorced the Regretful CEO Chapter 172
Since I was already in the system as a former student and graduate of Hilton University, getting an audit pass just meant pulling up my old records. As the teacher processed it, they suddenly said, "You’re really eager to learn, aren’t you? Want to sign up for another one?"I asked, "Another what?"They thought for a second. "Are you interested in architecture?"I blinked. "What’s special about architecture?"The teacher leaned in, clearly trying to sound mysterious. "Word is, a world-renowned architect will be joining us soon as a visiting professor. Once the news is out, everyone’s going to want a spot in that class. But right now, hardly anyone knows."They smiled. "You seem like the studious type. Want me to sign you up?"I thought it over. "Alright. Not too many classes, right?"The teacher shook their head. "Not at all. About four sessions a month, roughly once a week."That sounded manageable, so I nodded.Then they added, "And if you attend the visiting professor’s lectures,

After getting the audit pass, there wasn't much else to worry about.Just then, Sharon called.Her voice was gentle over the phone. "Eve, are you feeling better?""I'm much better now," I replied.She chuckled. "You must be bored stiff in the hospital. Come hang out at my place. I’ll introduce you to some freelance work. I can’t let you stay idlefor too long."And that was that.Dolly and I drove over to her gallery.Sharon, as always, looked stylish and refined. She wore shimmering tassel earrings that gave her a graceful, alluring charm.I couldn’t help comparing her to Chloe.Chloe had that delicate, sweet look—soft and refined in her own way.But Sharon gave off the vibe of a confident, independent woman. Smart, capable, and still every bit feminine. Both were undeniably attractive in their own right—the kind of women who’d leave a lasting impression. But Sharon had the more dignified air, and her smile was confident and warm.That made me start questioning my brother’s taste.

Sharon paused in surprise. "You two know each other?"The handsome man walked over, grinning as he looked straight at me. "How could we not? We’re practically family. It’d be awkward if we don’t know each other."Sharon laughed. "You..."It was obvious she had no idea who he really was.I said, "He’s Mr. Wynn’s younger brother."Now it was Sharon’s turn to be stunned. "What? Peter, you're Mr. Wynn’s brother?"Trey raised a brow, amusement flickering in his eyes as he touched his striking, mixed-featured face. "What? Don’t I look the part?"Realization dawned on her. "No wonder! I kept thinking how much you looked like Miles. I just figured good-looking guys all shared the same template."She gave him a playful smack on the arm. "This is your fault! You introduced yourself as Peter and didn’t say a word about who you really were. “You just let me make a fool of myself in front of Eve!"Trey chuckled. "Well, now you know, don’t you?"He said it lazily, like he hadn’t fully woken up yet

Trey gave a half-smile. "Oh, maybe I am a little."He ran a hand along his sharp jawline, eyes fixed on me. "But what can I do if I just can’t help myself?"He suddenly leaned in, and I sucked in a breath as he backed me up against the wall.His striking face loomed close, and that damned cologne hit me straight in the nose.I held my breath, as if even breathing might encourage this man who was clearly committed to being a menace.Trey stared at me for a long moment, then suddenly broke into a lazy smile."You’re really something, you know that? The more I talk to you, the more intrigued I get."I shot him a glare. "If you’re here to buy a painting, then pick one yourself. I don’t know anything about art. I’m heading upstairs."I turned to leave the studio.It was just the two of us in there—alone, behind closed doors. This was not exactly the safest setup."Hold on!" Trey called out.I looked back. He picked up a painting and was examining it closely."Since you're working part-tim

What I didn’t know was that Trey and Sharon exchanged a glance, both of them smiling meaningfully."Evelyn, since you’ve sold some paintings and you made a fortune, how about treating me to a meal?" Trey grinned at me.I nodded right away. "Sure, my treat!"Trey probably hadn’t expected me to agree so quickly. He froze for a second.Then he laughed. "Alright, let’s go for the most expensive fine dining restaurant."As soon as I heard the word "most expensive," I quickly asked, "How expensive are we talking?"Sharon couldn’t hold it in anymore and gave me a light smack. "Silly girl, expensive or not, you still have to treat him! Trey’s basically a walking goldmine!"Realization hit me. "Okay, I’ll treat. No matter how expensive it is!"Trey looked a little thrown off by how serious I was.He let out an awkward laugh. "Alright, let’s go."I happily followed after him.Today, Trey drove a Ferrari, different color from the one before.I placed the paintings in the trunk and they fit perfe

I cautiously broke the silence. “We're going for fine dining... at...” I gave him the name of the place.Miles’ voice came through, cold as ever. “Fine dining? Is that place really that good?”I was speechless.One second later, his voice dropped to freezing. “I’ll see you there in twenty minutes. Trey, you’d better behave.”Then he hung up.A strange silence settled in the car.Trey kept driving, his expression unreadable—somewhere between amused and indifferent. I couldn’t tell if he was annoyed or entertained.I ventured carefully, “Maybe your brother’s just in a bad mood today.”Trey turned the wheel with a light laugh. “Him? It’d be a miracle if he even has moods.”“Why?”He whistled. “He barely has emotions to begin with. I always say he’s basically a money-making robot.”A robot? I was speechless. These two brothers clearly didn’t have the warmest impression of each other....Before long, we arrived at the restaurant.Just as we parked, an attendant was already waiting b

After a few more remarks, Miles realized Trey wasn’t taking anything he said seriously, so he gave up scolding him altogether.Instead, he turned to me. “How much did Trey spend on paintings today?”I hesitated for a moment before giving him the number.Miles shot Trey a cold look.Trey raised an eyebrow, half amused. “What’s with that look, bro? A little over two hundred grand isn’t that much, is it? Evelyn made forty-eight grand off me. I was just showing her some support!”Miles corrected him sharply, “Don’t call her Evelyn so casually.”Trey laughed. “Then what should I call her? Eve?”Miles’ tone was serious. “She’s your future sister-in-law. You can either call her Miss White or address her with more respect.”I wanted nothing more than for the ground to open up and swallow me whole.Trey chuckled. “That’s really bold of you, bro. I never thought someone like you, who usually acts like women don’t exist, would fall so hard. It’s like watching a cold furnace suddenly roar to life.

I was completely frozen. My brain had short-circuited. The more I tried to explain, the worse it got.Trey, ever so helpful, chimed in dryly, “What she means is, she doesn’t need your money. Bro, you’re dating her, and she still doesn’t think you’re essential.”“Shut up!” I snapped, completely losing it. “Say one more word and I’m never selling you another painting!”The moment the words left my mouth, I realized how empty that threat sounded. Yeah, that wasn’t exactly intimidating.Thankfully, Trey finally decided to quit messing with me.He grinned. “Alright, bro, I’m out. I’ll leave you two lovebirds to talk it out.”And with a tilt of his head, he slipped out of the room.Now the spacious private room felt too quiet—with just me and Miles left.He looked at me with that deep, unreadable gaze. “Now that he’s gone, you can speak freely.”I let out a helpless laugh. “You totally got played by that jerk Trey. He’s full of it. He was just being a troll.”Miles looked half amused. “

The hostess paused for a second, then quickly adjusted with a smile. "Of course, Miss White. Miss Jones, please follow me. Our founder and a few directors are over this way."“Well, well, no longer Mrs. Moore? That was fast. Wasn’t it just a while ago someone couldn’t stop flaunting the fact that she was Mrs. Moore?”A mocking voice rang out.I turned around sharply, my expression darkening.Chloe stood there in a loose-fitting dress, carefully shielding her baby bump. Her arm was looped through Julian’s.And the one who’d made the snide comment was Rossie.Rossie stood beside Chloe, eyeing me from head to toe with thinly veiled smugness.Chloe’s eyes flickered the moment she saw me. She quickly leaned into Julian’s chest, all delicate and helpless."Julian, why didn’t you tell me Miss White would be here?" she asked sweetly.Julian clearly hadn’t expected me either. His brows furrowed. "What are you doing here?"I frowned. "The better question is—what are you doing here? I don’t rec

“Yes, I’m stupid! But what else can I do?” I said helplessly.Dolly went quiet for a moment on the other end of the line. “Forget it. That Pierse isn’t too bad. I’ll help this time. But Evelyn, don’t get involved with the Moore family again.”I nodded eagerly. “I know. I won’t touch anything else.”After getting my promise, Dolly asked, “By the way, tomorrow’s the second brand show for Elmwood. They contacted me asking for your number. They said they couldn’t reach you.”“What brand show?” I asked.Dolly smacked her head on the other end. “Ah, I forgot you lost your memory. You used to sponsor this niche brand. Now they’re doing better and better, and you’ve been their show sponsor every year. I remember you paid the sponsorship fees annually.”I had no memory of that, but Dolly sounded quite certain.A thought struck me. “Did I sponsor them under Moore Group’s name?”Dolly thought for a moment. “Probably. Back then you wanted to build some name recognition for Julian, so you sponsored

He cleared his throat. "But Miss White, are you sure you want to help Pierse? He’s still under eighteen, and custody and guardianship legally belong to the Moore family. This kind of thing rarely ends well for the person trying to help."I gave an awkward smile. "I know. My plan is to pick a school, then have him go back and talk it over with his family. “He’s in a rebellious phase right now. I really can’t just leave him to fend for himself. If I do, he’s going to spiral."The more I spoke, the heavier my heart felt.Ian looked at me with a complicated expression. "You really are a kind person, Miss White. If Julian failed to keep you, that’s entirely his loss."I managed a tight smile.Skipping the small talk, we quickly settled on a school thanks to Ian’s help.It was an international school that was established for twenty years. It had an excellent reputation, and after graduation, students could transition smoothly into overseas programs with direct guidance for studying abroad.

With things spiraling the way they had, both of us were a little dazed.Once Pierse snapped out of it, he grinned and grabbed my hand. "Eve, from now on, I’m sticking with you."Sticking with me?I let out a helpless smile. "You’re not even eighteen. Your mom and brother are still around. It’s really not my place to take care of you."Pierse waved it off like it meant nothing. "They don’t care about me anyway. Whether I live or die, it’s all the same to them. So, I might as well stay with you."He seemed to have found a new sense of purpose, full of enthusiasm. "Eve, I can work. I’ll find a job and earn my own money. You don’t need to give me anything."I sighed. "Don’t talk nonsense. Just remember, you’re still a minor. Your mom or your brother can come take you away anytime."He didn’t seem the least bit concerned.Seeing that I couldn’t reason with him, I decided to take him for a meal first.A teenage boy really had big appetite.I brought Pierse to a restaurant and watched him dev

I pretended not to care. "He was just a kid who didn’t know any better. Now that he understands, I don’t mind treating him like my brother again."Julian looked moved.He took a step forward. "Eve, you’ve changed. You’re more understanding now, more mature."I took a step back in disgust. "Mr. Moore, if you have something to say, say it. Don’t come any closer."The light in Julian’s eyes dimmed slightly at my words. "Eve, I just wanted to explain what happened with Chloe and the baby...""Stop!" I covered my ears. "I don’t want to hear it."I glared at him, unable to hold back anymore. "Mr. Moore, don’t assume I’m so generous that I’ll accept any kind of garbage or that I care to hear about your filthy mess in detail, alright?"I’ve told you so many times. I don’t love you anymore. You mean nothing to me now. I want a divorce! I don’t want to know anything about you and Chloe!"Julian looked stunned by my outburst.He stared at me strangely. "Eve, you really don’t love me anymore? If y

I stared at the teacher, shocked. "He already has a strike on his record? Since when?" The teacher glanced at Julian. "You didn’t know? That’s strange. Your family should’ve been notified. His mother came in last time…" Julian’s expression darkened. "No. My mother doesn’t know. It must’ve been..." Realization hit me like a slap. Pierse must’ve paid someone else to show up and pose as his guardian to cover for him. That little troublemaker. I didn’t care that Julian was standing right there.I turned to the teacher. "Let me talk to him again. In the meantime, could you please speak with the student’s parents? Let them know we’re willing to cover all the medical expenses and any other losses." Before the teacher could answer, Julian suddenly cut in, frowning. "Who said you get to make that decision for him?" I froze, taken aback. After a beat, I bit back my frustration. "Are you saying I’m overstepping, Mr. Moore?" Julian stared at me. "You’re his sister-in-law. It’s n

After a long while, Pierse finally stopped crying. I quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe his face, then cleaned up his wounds.I disinfected them, reapplied the ointment, and pressed on fresh band-aids.Once he calmed down, he looked a little embarrassed. "Eve, what should I do about all this?" I thought for a moment. "There’s really no option besides apologizing and paying for the damages.”He turned his head away. "I’m not apologizing." I stayed calm, just like I always did with him. "Alright. Then I’ll apologize for you. Hopefully the other party is understanding. If not, we might have to involve your mom and your brother. And if that happens, I won’t be able to protect you." His brows drew together. "I don’t want them to know." I sighed. "Then our only option is to talk to your teacher and ask for leniency. I’ll do my best." I stood to go find the teacher. Behind me, Pierse asked in a low voice, "Does it really have to be an apology?" I nodded. "It might help cool thin

I walked over to the corner of the office and found the first aid kit. Then I sat down beside Pierse and quietly began disinfecting the cuts on his face before placing a few band-aids over the worst of them. He didn’t flinch or fight me off.He just sat there and let me patch him up. Seeing that he was still simmering with anger, I poured him a glass of water. "Here. Drink this," I said gently. "And tell me what happened." It took a while before he finally spoke. It turned out that he and the other kid he fought with had never been on good terms. Pierse was good-looking, constantly skipping class to play basketball, and had that kind of bad-boy energy that made half the girls in school swoon. The other boy had a crush on a popular girl from another class, only to find out, after a lot of effort, that she actually liked Pierse. And so, that was how the fight broke out.I sighed. "So, you got into a fight over a girl you don’t even like, just because her admirer couldn’t h

To be honest, I wasn’t surprised Pierse had gotten into a fight. What did surprise me was that, at his age, neither his mother, Abby, nor Julian seemed to be doing anything about it. There wasn’t time to dwell on that. I arrived at the school and was quickly escorted by security to the disciplinary office. As soon as the door opened, I saw him. Pierse sat in the back of the room, his face bruised and dark with frustration. "Pierse?" I called softly. He looked up, shocked to see me, and stood up abruptly. "Eve? What are you doing here?" Then immediately groaned, "I forgot to turn off my phone." I rushed over and examined his injuries. There were two gashes on his cheek, and the corner of his mouth was badly swollen and bruised. Feeling my heart aching, I pulled out a tissue to dab at the dried blood. "What happened? Your face is a mess." Pierse winced and pulled away. "I’m really fine. You shouldn’t have come. Go home, I’m okay." Before I could say more, his home
