Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 288
Nicole's POV"What do you mean?" My father was asking.I looked at the man still standing next to me, repeating my question so that it could be heard more clearly: "You've known Mr. Thompson, Matthew's father, since when?""Oh, that." He seemed to mumble. "I've known Benny since we were teenagers. Roughly, when we were seventeen?”I was silent momentarily, not expecting the answer about how long they had been friends to go back further than he had told me. They started their friendship when the first business cooperation between their companies began."That was a long time ago, Father." I finally said, staring at the street in front of us that was still filled with a few passers-by. "The friendship between you has been almost fifty years...."My father nodded. "We met your mother at the academy and have been friends ever since. Ah, the three of us were in the same batch."The old man told me that despite being in the same academy, he and Benny never actually said hello to each other.

Nicole's POVOne week had passed. Right now, I was staring at the woman in front of me, tied to a chair with several of my bodyguards standing guard around us. I had just arrested her along with some suspicious people because one of my confidants informed me of her unusual actions.I immediately took action so that it would be noticed. I could already guess her intentions, and the end result wouldn't be good for me or the people I was involved with.The tied-up woman didn't say anything, and neither did I, but I finally opened the conversation by giving her a cold stare. "I had expected that you might do something like this, but you didn't waste any time at all, Miss Julia Dorris.""As a businesswoman, time is money, Miss Nicole. You must know that." Julia smiled, showing absolutely no agitation that I had caught her. "But why are you bothering to catch me like this? What does it have to do with you if I do something? You're the one who said that you don't want to get involved in this
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 290
Chris' POVAt that moment, I received a call from one of the people I had assigned to observe Julia Dorris. The man sounded a little tense when he spoke to me, telling me something that couldn't be good. "Mr. Grant, that woman is missing.""You lost track of her?" I asked, correcting his report that probably wasn't the truth.He was silent for a moment but eventually answered my question. "No, we just managed to find out and follow the kidnapper, sir. The people who did this are from the Duncan Family's side.""No way...." I immediately stood up from my seat.Only one person was behind the behavior of the people ordered by the family when it came to Julia. Nicole. I immediately thought of the woman who I had always thought of as a gentlewoman and would not be involved in such a violent act, especially when they were both women.I had recently learned that the woman from abroad had approached Nicole before I realized it. Selena was there, too, but Julia was not an easy woman to deal wi
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 291
Chris' POV What happened in the hidden place was already known to Edwin Duncan. After Nicole's departure, Key came as the old man's messenger to take care of some things left behind by his adopted daughter. Julia and the few people who came with her were taken away by the other staff members brought by the professional-looking assistant. One pick-up truck was available. All the people arrested by Nicole were put in there, even Julia, who should have gotten a little better treatment with her status. Still, the family seemed to have their own standards. The car immediately drove to a place I didn't know, but they had planned it beforehand and were far away from this town. Standing there without doing anything, I watched as the once-crowded room was left with just me. Meanwhile, the assistant who had been tidying up all the things in this place walked over to me, looking at me coldly, though still bowing politely afterward. He spoke in the same tone. "Mr. Grant, the Great Master

Edwin's POVI was already facing Nicole, looking at her quite sharply after learning of her actions before this. "Why would you do something like that, Nicole?"She shot someone with a gun I didn't even know she had.I thought I had ensured her security well all this time, sending some bodyguards or my subordinates to watch her movements, but apparently, I and the people around her had let their guard down.She can even do things that are entirely incautious for herself. Owning a gun and using it are two different things. Of course, it was OK for her to have it for self-protection, but actually, shooting another person was something that could endanger her.Her clothes and equipment at that time were inadequate, especially when she was seen being pushed in the CCTV footage I got from one of the bodyguards. His defenses must have been weak to not be prepared for a pistol shot's thrust force."I was just defending myself, Father." She finally said, her hands visibly shaking as her gaze
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 293
Edwin's POVTwo days later, I got a message from someone I didn't want to meet unless I had to. It was polite and arrogant, but I knew that even his usual demeanor was like that, so I didn't want to see him even more.Although I didn't like the idea of meeting without discussing the schedule first, I couldn't refuse the man's invitation to meet when he wrote Nicole's name. Ultimately, I still went to the appointment place according to his request, which I could have rejected outright.Christian Grant. The man had arrived first and sat down in front of me.He didn't mince words and got straight to the point. "Nicole cannot marry Matthew Thompson, Mr. Duncan."My gaze sharpened, already disliking the serious-looking man's topic of conversation, which didn't sound plausible at all.He had no connection to our family other than that we were businessmen. Still, even though it was never related to the family's internal affairs, outsiders like him were not allowed to interfere.Just saying t
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 294
Edwin's POV"You seem to know that?" He said when he saw me looking at him.I answered him without hesitation. "Of course, I knew. We had a healthy competition back then and Catherine became my wife."Benny and I became friends because of Catherine. She brought us together and made us partners until now. Although I could see that he was looking at a woman who was our age with a smile, and I was doing the same to my wife when we were younger, in the end, we had a healthy competition for her heart.It was a long time ago. I became Catherine's husband after we graduated and pursued our dreams as businessmen.I didn't know the purpose of this young businessman in front of me, which was to bring up our past. I didn't think much about it because Benny had found his heartmate and had Matthew as his son. I wanted to avoid getting carried away and thinking things out of order only to hear him speak again."You sound confident." He said in a tone I couldn't explain but also made me frown. "I've
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 295
Edwin's POVI was reminded of the past, precisely when my wife's death occurred, and it was the day of her funeral.I could see Benny at the ceremony from start to finish, but he didn't come near me. It was only at the end of the procession that he walked towards me, with no one around except a few bodyguards standing some distance away from where we were standing, near the wet soil that had piled up on my wife's grave.His face looked very sad, although I saw no trace of tears, then he spoke. "How did Catherine die, Edwin?"I paused, feeling the reality that my wife, the woman I loved, was no longer in this world from her words. I would never be able to see her smile, feel her warmth, or hear his voice by my side again. That made my eyes water again, and I tried to answer the man's question weakly."I... I don't know either...."I could only say that. A lot had happened in one day, and I wasn't even sure how I was still standing, going through the funeral procession while welcoming t
