In the end, Everett and Yvette hurried to the office building.They saw that their daughter had already stepped down from the fence. She was just squatting on the ground, holding her legs with her hands. Her face was bewildered, and her eyes were empty.After a long time, she spoke."Dad, Mom, don't worry, I did something wrong. I can't atone for my sins in this life! I don't know how to fix everything, but I will continue to live. I will use the remaining time on earth to slowly make up for it. "Chloe was completely impressed with Rosalie.It was Rosalie who woke her up.Seeking death was only an escape. A sincere apology must be shown through action.Half an hour later, the senior management of Petal Talk Group held a meeting and announced CEO Chloe’s resignation, who will no longer hold any position in the group.This was Chloe's choice; she was ashamed to stay in Petal Talk Group.However, Rosalie, as the chairman, also issued a resolution after.The 30% shares held by C
Early the next morning, Andrius came over.Byron ordered the kitchen to make a hearty breakfast spread and drank morning tea with him.The two chatted over food, and Byron expressed his wife's wishes.According to past habits, Andrius would probably just nod his head and answer "Yes".Unexpectedly, this time he suddenly hesitated and looked at Byron cautiously."Byron, I, can I refuse?"Byron was stunned.Immediately, he frowned involuntarily.Andrius immediately took it that Byron was upset and quickly explained. "Byron, I know this is my sister-in-law's sincerity, I just... feel a little tired recently."Byron came back to his senses, immediately shook his head, and said, "No, no need to explain, I'm not angry."He looked at Andrius with gentle eyes.For so many years, Andrius had always been following him around, never saying no.No matter what decision he made or what goal he wanted, Andrius would resolutely carry it out and never complained.It was absolute trust, a t
Three minutes, to Byron, was just the time for two cups of tea.For Andrius, it was a long time.Almost out of habit, he glanced down at his watch, then forcibly pulled his attention back from his thoughts."Byron, I—""Hold on!"Before Andrius could speak, Byron immediately made a stop gesture.He found that Andrius' time planning was accurate to the second.He said three minutes, and Andrius held on for exactly three minutes, not one second less.This obsessive compulsiveness must be exhausting, right?"Andrius, before you make a choice, I want to tell you that no matter what you choose, I will support you unconditionally. So, do you understand what I mean?"Byron's eyes became gentler.Andrius felt grateful in his heart.He nodded, with a faint smile on his lips. "Buddy, I'm really tired recently. So, I just want to take a break for a while."Halfway through his sentence, he raised his eyes to observe Byron's reaction.Andrius continued after he saw Byron nodding in ap
Lucas had disappeared for more than half a year. After Estie’s condition improved, he was happily galivanting around the world.He had been in touch with Byron intermittently and sent different pictures of beautiful scenery from time to time.He was in Africa for a while, then he was in Australia. He mentioned that he was studying the objective laws of human psychological evolution.Indeed, it was very professional research, and even took the opportunity to publish a lot of papers.However, only Byron knew that this guy just wanted to laze around and did not want to take on the burden of the Montgomery legacy.The Montgomery family's business in the southwest was considerable, dealing in tea, coffee, wood, dry goods and the like.The foreign trade partnership with Lawrence Corporation has begun, especially in the past few years, and the business volume has exploded.However, Lucas was happy just to be a carefree psychiatrist, wandering the mountains and rivers every day, and tra
This long talk took a full two hours.Mary never thought that Andrius' life would be like this.When Andrius was very young, probably since kindergarten, Andrius was once considered mentally handicapped because he could not keep up his language skills.From then on, he began to face a lot of gossip and was constantly questioned.Thanks to his parents' insistence, otherwise he would have been sent to a mental hospital for correction treatment.The birth of his younger sister had somewhat diverted the adults’ attention. The younger sister was very lively, so she was beloved by many people.Therefore, since he was a child, he gradually formed the habit of not sharing his thoughts with others.Slowly, he grew up.During that time, he met Byron and became his best friend.That was considered his happiest time. He had many opportunities to do what he wanted to do because the adults were not paying attention.It was from then on, that his trust in Byron was completely solidified.E
Mary was silent for a moment upon hearing what Andrius said.Her heart felt heavy, and she wanted to say something to comfort or encourage him.However, she felt she could not find suitable words to express her concern.Many people nowadays had some physiological stress. Most of the causes were the trauma from childhood.That was why one always said a beautiful childhood would be the beginning of a beautiful life, while a bad childhood would haunt a person for a lifetime.In the end, it was Andrius who smiled in relief, even without Mary comforting him.That smile dumbfounded Mary.It was as though she had seen a kid smiling for the first time after it was born. It was pure and innocent.Moreover, he looked crazily attractive when he smiled.She was startled for a few seconds and felt her cheeks blushing.“Mary, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me?” Andrius asked in a puzzle.Mary quickly retracted her gaze. She did not know where to look and shook her head. “Nothing. No
It was only three days from the wedding day.Rosalie thought she would be calm about it. After all, she had been married once, and they had registered their marriage. Moreover, they stayed as a married couple for years back then.Unexpectedly, she was still excited when she saw the wedding gown Estelle had designed for her.It was breathtakingly beautiful!Her daughter’s talent in design was outstanding.The wedding gown was not traditionally white. Instead, it emitted a faint grayish glint. Under the sunlight, it looked elegant and gorgeous. It was a fishtail dress, and stars were embedded at the hem of the dress. It looked more like a swan’s feather than a fishtail.The material was light and comfortable. Rosalie had worn it once and could not believe her eyes when she looked at herself in the mirror. She looked pure and elegant.“Mommy, I have a theme for this gown. It gradually turns from gray to white, like the ugly duckling that turned into a swan!” Estelle explained with
In a detention center by the sea in Coast City, Chloe calmly counted the days. It would soon be Rosalie and Byron’s wedding day.“Rosalie, I have no grudge and hatred anymore. Thanks to you, I finally understand everything about love.”Love was the most luxurious thing humans could get. Even if one was beautiful, alluring, and rich, one might not be able to own it.Chloe already realized that. To her, Byron was not the man of her life.As for whether or not she could find the right man, it was unknown. Love did not need to have a happy ending. She did not need to wait anymore. All she needed to do was to keep searching.‘Rosalie, I wish you a happy marriage and a happy life! I hope I’ll have a chance to make it up to you in the future. If it weren’t for my stubbornness, Byron would've been the best brother I ever had.’As she was thinking about this, she heard the prison guard shouting.“Chloe Lincoln, your lawyer is here to meet you! Come out!”Her family had employed the best
