Chapter 1512

Author: Faith Shaw
Ben did not reply and left without looking back. True to his word, he wasn’t going to see Jamie or Winnie.

Instead, he arranged to meet Nash and the others at the most exclusive club in the city.

However, when Ben arrived, Nash was busy on a call, Quincy was glued to his phone, and Hunter and Caleb were drinking quietly.

Ben, already agitated, couldn’t hide his irritation. “You two, it’s rare we get together, and this is how you spend your time? Do you ever get tired of it?”

He took a sip of his own drink, frustration bubbling as thoughts of Jamie occupied his mind.

Quincy, sprawled casually on the couch, grinned. “Tired? Never. You don’t know what you’re missing. It’s pure bliss.”

“I used to think love and relationships were just a burden,” Quincy continued, his expression turning soft. “But now I’ve realized, there’s nothing better in this world.”

Since reconnecting with Lydia, Quincy’s perspective on life had shifted entirely. Traveling the world hand-in-hand with

    Ben didn’t respond, drinking in brooding silence. Just as Hunter was about to press further, Nash shot him a glance that made him hold his tongue. Ben drank heavily, while Nash and Quincy eventually excused themselves, and Caleb hurried off to handle work. In the end, it was just Ben and Hunter left in the private lounge. Hunter patted Ben on the shoulder. “If you can’t forget her, then maybe it’s time to accept her. Even if things don’t turn out as expected, as long as you’ve done your best and have a clear conscience, that’s enough. You’re the one building a life with her, so why get hung up on something so trivial?” He was referring to Jamie’s past. And if Ben really wanted to count, he was her first man.But no man could truly tolerate betrayal.What Ben couldn’t get past wasn’t Jamie’s past, but her abandonment and the way she had betrayed him.“I’m done talking about Jamie,” Ben said coldly. “I’ll settle the tab. You stay and enjoy yourself. I’m heading home.”

    Jamie struggled desperately to free herself from Ben’s grip, but it was futile. Ben watched her attempts with a mix of frustration and curiosity. Beyond her anger and resistance, Jamie showed no other emotions. Yet, according to Caden, she had risked everything to obtain the recording. His mother had also confirmed it was Jamie who had handed it over. Still, she had never used it to threaten him. Ben’s voice dripped with sarcasm as he stared her down. “What’s your angle, Jamie? You risked so much to get that recording, you ignored your son’s safety, and now you’re here telling me to take care of your sister and build a happy life with her? Are you really that noble?” His sharp, icy gaze bore into her, as though he wanted to rip her apart piece by piece. Jamie hadn’t expected Ben to know the truth, but it didn’t matter. She had done what she felt was right and had no intention of using it against him. “My sister is carrying your child, and the two of you are engaged

    The bitterness in Jamie’s heart surged like an unstoppable tide. She hesitated for a long moment before speaking softly, almost timidly. “She’s my sister. No matter what happens, we’ll work it out.” Suddenly, Ben, reeking of alcohol, lurched toward her, his bloodshot eyes locking onto hers. “And what about me?” he demanded, his voice harsh and raw. “What am I to you? You left without a word, Jamie. What did you take me for?” Jamie couldn’t bring herself to meet his gaze. She turned her head awkwardly, her voice barely audible. “It’s all in the past. There’s no point in talking about it now.” Ben stared at her calm, indifferent expression, and for the first time, he felt the weight of all these years of longing and heartache was nothing but a cruel joke. “It’s easy for you to say it doesn’t matter because you’ve moved on,” he said, his tone laced with bitterness. “But how can anyone understand their mistakes if they don’t feel the pain?” With those words, his exp

    Ben’s voice was low and hoarse, each word sounding as though it was wrenched from deep within. Jamie’s heart felt like it was being torn apart. She knew she had no defense. It was true that she had chosen to leave. She had chosen to abandon their love. But she had her reasons! “Ben, I—” Before she could say another word, Ben cut her off, his voice harsh and unyielding. “Don’t say anything. I don’t want to hear it!” Jamie flinched at his abrupt interruption, tears spilling from her eyes. A profound sense of helplessness enveloped her as she turned her face away, silently enduring the humiliation and despair that hung in the air. Just as Ben was on the verge of overstepping an irreversible line, a clear, piercing voice shattered the silence of the office. “Ben, what are you doing?” The words rang out like a thunderclap, freezing them both in place. They turned toward the doorway to see Winnie standing there, her face pale and her wide, disbelieving eyes f

    Winnie turned her head, only to be blinded by a glaring white light. She instinctively stumbled backward but lost her balance in the rush, landing hard on the ground. The small delivery truck swerved sharply, narrowly grazing her back before screeching to a halt just behind her. Pain shot through her body. A cold sensation seemed to spread, replacing the warmth she desperately clung to. Sweat poured down her forehead as a sharp, agonizing cramp spread through her lower abdomen. She instinctively placed a hand on her stomach, only to feel a warm, sticky flow. Blood. Her eyes widened in terror as she screamed, “Help me! Somebody, help!” The truck driver, clearly shaken and panicked, glanced back briefly before flooring the gas pedal and fleeing the scene. The cold night air cut through her like a blade as she lay sprawled on the wide, empty road, the pain tearing through her body amplifying the bitterness and hatred already consuming her. ……Meanwhile, Jamie had ru

    “You can rest assured, we’ll speak to the doctor about the baby,” the kind stranger said. Only then did Winnie close her eyes, finally letting herself relax.Meanwhile, Ben had been sitting alone in the dark for what felt like ages. He had a few drinks, but his mind was only growing sharper and colder with each passing moment.*Knock, knock, knock!*The sudden noise broke through the silence, echoing sharply in the stillness. His lips curled into a slight smirk. So, she had come after all. But when he opened the door and saw who it was, the playful smile on his face vanished, replaced by an icy chill. “Who are you?” The delivery driver, dressed in his uniform, suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine. He cleared his throat nervously and held up a bag. “Mr. Ben Lucas, right? This is your express delivery.”Ben narrowed his eyes slightly, a flicker of something unreadable crossing his face. “That woman really does have a bit of wit,” he muttered to himself.Without sayi

    Winnie’s face twisted into a mocking smile as she glanced back at Charlie, her expression dark and unnerving. “What if the one who hurt me is your mom?” Charlie froze, his innocent eyes wide with disbelief, but he still whispered, “Mom wouldn’t hurt you, Aunt Winnie.” Winnie let out a cold, bitter laugh. Why should her sister’s child thrive while her own never even had the chance to see this world? Why should she endure such loss while Jamie got to keep everything? “I want to see my mom,” Charlie whimpered, his small voice trembling with unease. Winnie forced herself to soften, her tone placating. “I was just joking. When we get to where we’re going, I’ll let you call your mom, okay?” Charlie’s worry eased as he turned his attention back to the scenery outside the car window, humming happily to himself. Meanwhile, Jamie had been calling all morning, her worry mounting with each unanswered ring. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was deeply wrong.

    Jamie was too overwhelmed to handle the tangled mess of emotions and threats. All she could focus on was Charlie’s safety. Her voice cracked as she nearly begged Winnie.“He’s your blood relative. What are you trying to do? Don’t use him to threaten me. I’ll help you.” Winnie let out a cold laugh. “Jamie, you’re nothing but a hypocrite. Without leverage, would you really be so willing to do what I ask?” Jamie tried to reason further, but Winnie cut her off impatiently. “Enough with the useless chatter. I need you to get Ben to meet me.” Jamie’s heart sank. “What are you planning?” Winnie’s voice carried a mocking edge. “That’s between me and him.” Jamie hesitated before replying, “Ben and I haven’t been in contact for a long time. I might not be able to do it.” Winnie’s tone turned icy and menacing. “That’s your problem. I assume you still care about Charlie’s safety, right?” Jamie fell silent. Winnie was teetering on the edge of madness. If Jamie didn’t

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about.“Haven’t I been just fine lately?“Or do you think my hand isn’t injured enough? If that’s the case, go ahead—do it yourself. “You already know I wouldn’t fight back no matter what.” Without warning, Yelena stretched out her injured hand, an act that instantly enraged Liam. “What the hell is wrong with you?” He snapped. “I was just making a casual remark. Is that really what you think of me? I already told you—I’m not going to lay a hand on you.“It wasn’t intentional before, and you know it. We both do. Stop acting like you’re above all this when we both know who sent you here.” Yelena felt a pang of sadness. They had spent so much time together, yet this was how he treated her—always choosing to hurt her. “I know—I wasn’t someone you chose, and none of this was intentional. But after all this time we've spent together...“I thought maybe I was a little different to you. But I guess I was wrong. Nothing has changed at all.

    “Why do you even care about what happens to other people? Haven’t I made myself clear enough already?“Whose card is this—yours or mine?” His assistant immediately apologized upon hearing Caleb’s tone. “I hope you won’t hold this against me. I really wasn’t thinking clearly at the time—I should have considered this more carefully.” Caleb didn’t bother responding. After hanging up, he focused entirely on investigating Vera’s brother. *Meanwhile, Vera was deeply worried. If things had been somewhat under control before, now they were completely off track. The situation on both sides was far more complicated than she had anticipated. “Don’t worry. That’s exactly how it is. If you don’t want to go in person, I can go for you—but it won’t be cheap,” the private investigator said.Since Caleb had warned her about the private investigator, Vera started testing him, probing for inconsistencies. And sure enough, his story had too many holes. “Why are you so sure my b

    As Caleb spoke, he looked at Vera with a hint of helplessness. After all, her hand had been injured because of Luna. “Don’t feel guilty about this. Honestly, it’s nothing to me.“And I’m not the type to carry burdens over things like this.“Besides, it’s been so long. If this had happened back then, I might have cared. But now? I just don’t think it matters anymore.” Vera’s voice was steady and sincere. But Caleb’s expression darkened. “Why would you say that? Why do you think it doesn’t matter? Do you really see me as just the same as everyone else?” For some reason, at this moment, Caleb took it personally. Vera couldn’t help but laugh. “Of course not. You’re different from the rest—so obviously, I wouldn’t see it the same way.“You’ve helped me so much. The least I can do is acknowledge that, instead of stubbornly nitpicking about what’s right or wrong, don’t you think?“Besides, whatever happened between you and Luna, that’s none of my business. It’s in

    “I didn’t mean to just now. Besides, you’ve been acting all sneaky lately—so really, who else is to blame?” Seeing Yelena in tears, Liam, who had been furious just moments ago, felt a small pang of guilt. He was never good at expressing emotions. But watching her like this made him a little uncomfortable. “Go get your hand treated. Otherwise, people who don’t know any better might think I’ve been abusing you.” With that, he turned and walked away. Yelena watched his retreating figure, feeling a bit helpless. This wasn’t something she could decide on her own. Installing surveillance? It wasn’t as easy as it sounded. Liam was naturally suspicious. If he caught wind of it, the consequences would be disastrous. But she had no choice. She had a mission to complete, and there was more at stake than just this moment. Letting out a deep sigh, she finally decided to head to a clinic to get her hand treated. *“What happened to you? That’s a serious injury. You

    And just like that, the conversation fell into a brief silence. Meanwhile, on the other side, Hunter received a call from Yelena. “What did you just say?” Yelena told him that her hand was broken, and on top of that, Liam seemed to be getting suspicious. She wasn’t sure what to do, so she called Hunter for advice. “I don’t really care what happens to you, but at the very least, take care of yourself.“Otherwise, if something else goes wrong later, I’ll have to step in and clean up the mess. Don’t you think so?” Hearing this, Yelena was a little taken aback. “It’s not just about my injury. The real problem is, I’m scared of what he might do now.” Sure, she had taken the two hundred thousand dollars, but she had to stay alive to spend it. At this rate, she wouldn’t even make it through in one piece. “I already told you—protect yourself. If you need anything else, I’ll try to provide it. But right now, I need you to do something for me.” Hunter had been look

    “Yes, it’s in that mountain area. If you’re worried, you can go check it out yourself. But as for anything else, we don’t really have much more information.”Compared to everything else, this was the most baffling situation.“You make a good point. But given the current circumstances, I think it’ll be difficult to pull off.”Vera was speaking with the private investigator. Deep down, she was more worried than anything else.“Don’t worry,” the private investigator reassured her. “Aside from what we discussed earlier, nothing else seems too extreme. Plus, we’ve already looked into it pretty thoroughly.”By the time he finished speaking, his expression had grown more complicated.“Alright. I understand.”After hanging up, she anxiously looked straight ahead. If she had been mentally prepared before, now she was starting to feel uneasy. “What’s going on?” Caleb asked while driving, glancing at her. Vera hesitated, debating whether to tell him or not. But seeing the strange

    “I only had one surgery today,” Caleb said as he drove, his voice calm but firm. “Now that it’s done, I want to know why this happened.” After that, he said nothing more. Vera sat in silence, her heart uneasy as the car pulled up in front of an upscale club. Even though her hand was already bandaged, she still felt a sting of pain every time Caleb showed concern. “So this is what it feels like to have someone care,” she thought to herself.Back when Vera had been stepped on, her only concern had been the contract—whether the deal would fall apart and if her suffering had been for nothing.If it had been anything else, she probably wouldn’t have cared as much.But Caleb’s concern made it impossible for her to brush aside.It kept lingering in her mind, refusing to let her feel indifferent.“Don’t overthink it,” Caleb said, his voice firm. “Whatever happened between Luna and me doesn’t change the fact that this concerns me too—and I owe it to you to make things right.”

    “Oh? So this is the apology you wanted?” Vera’s forehead was covered in cold sweat from the pain, but the two women standing over her barely reacted. As if this was normal to them. As if humiliating her was just another game. “I asked you a question.” Vera remained half-crouched on the ground, her hand still pinned under Luna’s heel. Helena smirked. “Yeah, I’d say that’s good enough.” She hadn’t expected Vera to be this stubborn, but it didn’t matter. With an exaggerated sigh, she casually scribbled her signature onto the contract. The deal was officially secured. Vera didn’t waste another second. She cast one last glance at the two women. “I have no interest in getting involved in your personal drama. As for Caleb and me, that’s between us. We both made our choices.” Luna’s expression twisted slightly. “I won’t bother commenting on your relationship,” she said, voice dripping with disdain. “But don’t think for a second that this will ever earn

    The moment Vera heard her assistant’s words, her expression darkened. Her previously calm tone turned firm. “If that’s the case, I understand. But I still have to go. This is my responsibility, and no one else can handle it.” If she didn’t take the lead, the other party would only grow bolder. However, the moment she glanced at the name on the negotiation list, she couldn’t help but frown. Because the person she was supposed to meet wasn’t just anyone. It was Helena Xander. Vera had encountered her before—back when her relationship with Caleb hadn’t yet escalated. Even then, Helena had openly mocked her, saying that since Caleb had been Luna’s devoted lapdog for years, he should know his place and never overstep. She had also thrown a few sharp words at Vera, telling her to recognize her own status—as if warning her that getting involved would only bring trouble. Back then, Vera hadn’t taken it seriously. She never thought she would cross paths with the
