The Aloof CEO – Her Regret for Chasing Me Out Chapter 10 Declaration
Natalie was in a hurry to see Jefferson, so she ended the call before Alicia could finish talking. She had no idea Elijah had hit her sister. Natalie's face fell, and she looked at Elijah coldly, but her eyes were brimming with the flames of ire.Elijah used to care about her almost subserviently. Even a minor change in her emotion would get him worried, and he would try to cheer her up the best he could. He didn't even protest when she demanded that he sign the divorce papers and share transfer agreement.'It hasn't even been days, and this piece of shit is already mocking me? You think the Hudsons can take the contract that easily? Even if they take it, do you really think you can latch onto them and leech off Jefferson?'Natalie's eyes flickered, but she held back her fury and squeezed a smile at Jefferson. "I'm sorry for what I did earlier, Mr. Norwood. The sudden cancellation took me by surprise, and it's a little unfair to us. I'm sure you can see that we really want to work w

Natalie frowned. "Are you out of your mind, Alicia?""No, it's Elijah! That bastard slapped me three times, and I tumbled down the stairs! Ronald, that bastard, he stood up for Elijah for some reason and held a knife against my neck!" Alicia roared and slammed her foot into her car, leaving a dent on the door.Selene and Natalie frowned. Then their questions came like a barrage of bullets."Elijah again? That's impossible. How could he do that? And Ronald's nothing but our lapdog. Why would he take that piece of shit's side? And I almost forgot. Why did you go to the Hudsons'?""I heard your conversation. Elijah cheated on Natalie and hooked up with some slut out there. I saw red, so I stormed up to wherever he was, but…" Alicia gritted her teeth and told her sisters what happened at the Hudsons'.Natalie's face fell further and further. Realization struck her. "That explains why he stood up to me. He latched on to a common thug. Ronald has his back. Of course. He's an ignorant fo

Liam's eyes blazed with fury, his face dark as a storm cloud. "Summer Holdings has made a move against our family. They've poached every employee from our factory and cut off all our raw material supplies!"He declared through gritted teeth, "The Hudsons have fallen on hard times, but that doesn't mean they can trample on us! We may be down, but we're not out! I'll still fight them to the bitter end even if they intend to break us!"With that, he stormed out, climbed into his battered second-hand Volkswagen, and sped off toward his factory."Elijah, don't overthink this. It's not your fault!" Cindy's face was etched with worry, but she quickly turned to console him.Elijah smiled gently and patted her head. "Didn't I tell you last night? How could you forget so soon? Your family won't fall as long as I'm here!"Then, he turned and headed upstairs. Picking up the phone from his room, he scrolled to a specific number and made a call.He found Cindy in the kitchen when he returned,
The Aloof CEO – Her Regret for Chasing Me Out Chapter 13 How Is That Possible
"No way. The guests I'm hosting today are extremely important. I can't afford any trouble here," Natalie said firmly, her eyes blazing but her tone resolute as she stepped in front of Alicia to stop her."Fine," Alicia grumbled, shrugging carelessly. "That scumbag isn't getting away from me anyway. I'll let him enjoy his little moment of freedom while it lasts."Despite her defiant attitude, Alicia knew better than to push back against Natalie's authority."Wait, they're heading this way? And that little brat just said they're here to eat?" Alicia's brows furrowed in disbelief as she spotted Elijah and Cindy walking toward Waterside Chateau."Elijah, a scumbag like him, having a Waterside Chateau membership card? No way!"Natalie turned to glance at them, her expression a mix of disdain and mockery. "They came here on a scooter. There's no way he could afford to dine here even if that scumbag miraculously has a membership card."Although she was derisive, her steps faltered sli
The Aloof CEO – Her Regret for Chasing Me Out Chapter 14 Supreme Purple Card
"Ms. Natalie, are you saying… you know that person as well?"John's eyes flickered with surprise, his gaze toward Natalie turning far more respectful.He had almost made a critical misstep!Who would have thought that a younger member of the Summers had the connections to associate with such a prominent figure? If that were true, the Summers could very well rise to unimaginable heights!"Know him?" Natalie lifted her chin proudly, her eyes glinting with a hint of mockery as she seized the opportunity to repay John for his earlier indifference. "I don't just know him."At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed through Waterside Chateau, growing louder by the second.Wave after wave of security guards poured in, their eyes locked on Elijah like hawks sizing up prey."Elijah, maybe we should just leave," Cindy whispered nervously, tugging at his sleeve, her face pale with anxiety. "The owner of Waterside Chateau has powerful connections. We really shouldn't mess with th
The Aloof CEO – Her Regret for Chasing Me Out Chapter 15 Would I Ever Lie to You?
"Of course, sir. Waterside Chateau will fully comply with any and all requests you have," John said immediately, then turned to Natalie. "Apologies, but your silver membership card is now invalid. Furthermore, you've been blacklisted from Waterside Chateau effective immediately.""Him?! I refuse to believe he has that kind of authority!" Natalie was stunned, her mind reeling.Never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined Elijah pulling out a Supreme Purple Card—a card she'd never even heard of—and invalidating her membership with just a single command.To her, Elijah was nothing but a loser—a useless waste of space who only lazed around and indulged himself. How could he possess such a prestigious membership card? And how could someone like him have the manager of Waterside Chateau bowing to his every word?"This can't be real! There's no way this is possible! That card he has—he must've stolen it! A loser like him isn't qualified to hold even a silver card, let alone a Supre

"Mr. Mitchell, it's been a while!"Hiram, clearly a man of status, immediately shoved John out of the room and greeted Elijah with a respectful bow."You know each other?! Earlier…" Cindy glanced between Elijah and Hiram, wholly confused."We do," Hiram replied with a small smile. "Alas, Mr. Mitchell has always been low-key and prefers not to reveal our connection."Elijah waved a hand dismissively, cutting off the conversation. "How have you been these past few years? I assume your chronic ailment hasn't flared up again.""Yes, it hasn't! I've been following your advice—handing most of the family affairs over to the kids and taking it easy. My health has improved since the last we met each other," Hiram replied with a grateful nod as he personally poured Elijah a cup of wine.Elijah gave a faint nod, then casually introduced Hiram to Cindy. "Old Mr. Reinhart has been keeping a low profile in recent years, but I'm sure you've heard of him under another name—he's the president of
The Aloof CEO – Her Regret for Chasing Me Out Chapter 17 What Else Can We Do?
Since Elijah had a bit to drink, Cindy insisted on taking over the scooter on their way back. This put Elijah in an awkward spot.He considered resting his hands on her waist several times but ultimately refrained, awkwardly bracing his hands on the rear of the seat instead. Even so, the scooter wobbled enough that occasional contact was inevitable.Elijah couldn't help but recite a calming mantra in his mind as he felt the smooth, warm sensation against his thigh and caught the fresh, sweet scent from Cindy."I noticed you didn't eat much earlier. Was it because you weren't hungry or just didn't like the food?" Elijah asked.Cindy's cheeks turned crimson as she answered truthfully, "The food was a bit bland. Honestly, it wasn't as tasty as flamin' hot Cheetos."Elijah fell silent, rendered speechless by Cindy's love for hot Cheetos."By the way, Elijah, isn't it a bit wasteful to use someone like Old Mr. Reinhart to help with my family's problems? Maybe we should—""Just keep y

They were reapers, merciless specters of death.The sheer malice they radiated chilled Wade to the bone, his body trembling as though he had plunged into an icy abyss.The gap between his Shiverclad Legion and those nine executioners was insurmountable. It was nothing short of a one-sided massacre.In the blink of an eye, the chaos subsided. Silence reclaimed the night.All forty members of the Shiverclad Legion lay lifeless on the ground. Not a single one had survived."Elijah… you… you all…" Wade stammered, his tongue tied in disbelief.Nine black-clad figures knelt before Elijah, their cold, emotionless voices laced with apprehension. "We exceeded by one second. Please punish us, Your Excellency.""Punish yourselves when we return," Elijah replied, his tone indifferent.Wade's face turned ashen at the exchange.Twenty-one seconds. They had slaughtered nearly forty Shiverclad Legion elites in twenty-one seconds, yet Elijah wasn't satisfied and expected punishment for the del
The Aloof CEO – Her Regret for Chasing Me Out Chapter 29 The Shiverclad Legion
The Shiverclad Legion of Team Luna was a force to be reckoned with, a unit trained to take on ten opponents each without breaking a sweat. The nearly forty men dispatched tonight could easily decimate an enemy force of four hundred and emerge victorious.Yet here Elijah was, claiming they would all fall that night. Was he delusional?To Wade, it was nothing but a joke. He scoffed, saying, "I heard you've learned a few petty tricks, but against the Shiverclad Legion, there's only one outcome for you: death."He raised his hand, signaling his men forward. The forty Shiverclad Legion members advanced with a unified ferocity as though ready to tear Elijah apart in an instant."If you get on your knees, beg me, and break your own limbs, I might just give you a quick death," Wade taunted, his expression filled with mocking amusement."You want my life?" Elijah quirked a brow, a cold smile playing on his lips. "With just you and your men? Not even close."Wade's expression darkened with

"I'll immediately mobilize the Shiverclad Legion to drag him over! Not only will he personally heal Cameron, but he'll also kneel and beg for forgiveness. After that, I'll break every bone in his body and make him suffer everything Cameron endured," Alicia declared, her voice icy and firm.Natalie frowned. "Didn't you say the Bloodstride Gang—"Alicia sneered. "They're just putting on a show, trying to scare me into thinking a fight with them would cost Team Luna dearly. But with my reputation in Riverbay, who would dare oppose me? Once I give the order, the Bloodstride Gang will be nothing but ashes in no time."Her expression turned ruthless, her confidence unshakable. "A group of clowns like them won't stop me from dealing with one insignificant loser."The sisters exchanged glances and quickly agreed.Anyone who had crossed Alicia before had eventually come crawling to apologize, and the Bloodstride Gang would be no exception. Moreover, the team she was dispatching was the Shi

"I didn't do anything! It was all still fine yesterday—Master even said he'd help me advance to the Professor level…" Victor muttered, utterly lost.Natalie urged him, "Stop overthinking! Ask your mentor what's going on and find a way to fix this!"The apprenticeship under the world's only Doctor Supreme wasn't just a matter of personal achievement for Victor—it was a monumental asset for the entire Summer family.Victor nodded hastily. 'Master, if I've done anything wrong, please tell me. I'll apologize and promise never to repeat it. Natalie's furious with me for upsetting you—she's been scolding me nonstop!'Victor once again tried to invoke Natalie's name, a tactic that had always worked in the past.'Tell her this: as of now, you've been expelled from my tutelage,' Elijah replied coldly. 'Her cousin is unworthy of being my disciple.'Victor's face turned ashen, his vision spinning. Did Elijah really mean it? Had he truly been expelled? It seemed like Elijah wasn't joking,
The Aloof CEO – Her Regret for Chasing Me Out Chapter 26 Expelled From Apprenticeship
In Riverbay, where the preference for sons over daughters ran deep, no prominent family would ever hand over its legacy to a woman.Natalie had long felt guilt toward her uncle, Mark, and her cousin, Victor. She often thought of herself as a thief, stealing what should have been theirs. She had even cried about it in secret several times.If it hadn't been for Elijah's subtle nudges and his staged acts as the Doctor Supreme, alongside training Victor through online mentorship and helping him achieve fame, Natalie might never have overcome her guilt.'Master, are you there? Sorry to bother you so late!' Victor messaged respectfully.In the past, Elijah had tolerated Victor for Natalie's sake. Even though he wasn't particularly fond of him, he would patiently solve Victor's problems. But this time, his reply was curt. 'What is it?'Victor was taken aback. His usually kind and approachable mentor sounded unusually cold.'Master, my younger brother was injured by a scoundrel. That ma

"Victor, you're the youngest miracle doctor in Riverbay! How can someone of your caliber fail to treat Cameron?" The Summer family all turned to Victor, their faces filled with disbelief, making the young doctor's face burn with embarrassment and anxiety."What about your mentor, Victor? Since you've hit a roadblock, why not reach out to him?" Morgan frowned, his tone sharp.Victor's eyes lit up. "You're right—my mentor can definitely help!"Victor's accomplishments in medicine were all thanks to his apprenticeship under the legendary Doctor Supreme, a mysterious figure known for solving even the most impossible medical challenges. His mentor could always find a solution no matter the issue.Reinvigorated, Victor quickly pulled out his phone and opened a specialized medical app."This is the GMA Medical Ranking and Consultation app, developed by the World Medical Association," Victor explained. "It categorizes medical professionals worldwide by their skills and achievements, with

Beer mixed with blood streamed down Cameron's face and soaked his clothes."Go to hell!" Cameron roared, throwing a punch at Elijah. Unfortunately for Cameron, Elijah caught his fist effortlessly, gripping it tightly.Cameron struggled with all his might, yet he couldn't break free. Fear gripped him as he wondered, "Wasn't this guy supposed to be a loser?""Let go of me!" Cameron shouted.Elijah's expression remained icy as he twisted Cameron's wrist."Ah!" Cameron let out a guttural scream. "Let go, or I'll kill you!"Elijah's eyes turned colder, his silence more menacing. Then, he twisted harder.Crack!Cameron's wrist snapped. He collapsed to the ground, his face pale, writhing in pain like a beaten dog. Never in his wildest dreams did he think the man his family had cast out could be this terrifying."You insulted my friend. Death may be off the table, but you won't escape unscathed," Elijah said icily, then jabbed several acupoints on Cameron's body."Ahhh!" Cameron let
The Aloof CEO – Her Regret for Chasing Me Out Chapter 23 Act in a Bedroom Scene With Me
The preference for sons over daughters was deeply ingrained in Riverbay.When Morgan's three children all turned out to be daughters, most people assumed Benjamin would hand the family inheritance to Mark's family. After all, Mark had two sons, and his eldest, Victor Summer, was quite accomplished.A few years ago, Victor had even become the apprentice of the Doctor Supreme, earning the title of the youngest and most skilled miracle doctor in Riverbay.Alas, no one expected Benjamin to hand the Summer family business over to Natalie right after she graduated college. And when the old patriarch arranged for Natalie to marry Elijah, he fully retired, leaving Summer Holdings entirely in her hands.In Cameron's eyes, the only reason his family didn't inherit the family wealth was because of Elijah's interference. So, Cameron couldn't resist kicking him while he was down to vent his frustration now that Elijah was "down on his luck."When Cameron started hurling insults, one of his fri
The Aloof CEO – Her Regret for Chasing Me Out Chapter 22 Smoked Barbecue Truck
Dylan's food truck was small, offering simple dishes like pierogi, donut holes, and mac and cheese."You sit here for a bit. Tell Dylan what you want to eat—I'm going across the street to grab some smoked barbecue," Elijah said as he guided Cindy to a seat. After a quick word with Dylan, he headed toward a smoked barbecue truck on the opposite side of the street.The owner of the truck, a man with teeth stained yellow, jumped up from his recliner as soon as he saw Elijah. "Aries of the Eclipse Unit, at your service, Your Excellency!""Let's skip the formalities," Elijah said, waving his hand nonchalantly before lowering his voice. "What's the latest? Any updates?"Aries pretended to cut up a barbecue platter while speaking quickly, his tone serious. "We've set up surveillance everywhere Dylan might go, with our team monitoring him 24/7. His phone's been tapped this whole time. "But Adrian? It's like he's vanished. There's been no trace of him around Dylan at all."Your Excellenc
