When the CEO Begs for My Forgiveness Chapter 27
"Addie!" Elias jolted awake, calling out Adele’s name. Elliot sat by the bedside, his expression dark and severe. "Elias Sterling, from this moment on, you’re to focus on work and getting your health back. You are not to look for Adele again!" Elias coughed harshly, confusion and defiance evident in his hoarse voice. "Why? She’s my wife. I haven’t signed the divorce papers, so we’re still married. As long as I stay determined, as long as I’m sincere, she’ll forgive me eventually!"She’s soft-hearted. If I just put in the effort, she’ll come back to me..." "Enough!" Elliot barked, cutting him off. Without another word, he pulled out his phone and played a recording of his recent call with Adele. Her calm, resolute voice filled the room, shattering every ounce of Elias’ confidence. When the recording ended, the room fell into an oppressive silence. For a long moment, Elias muttered to himself, "No… impossible… this isn’t real. I have to find her. I have to see her! I ne

“Miss Summers, are you sure you want to erase all your identity records? Once erased, it will be as if you never existed, and no one will be able to find you." Adele paused for a moment before nodding resolutely. "Yes, that's exactly what I want. I want no one to find me." There was a hint of surprise on the other end of the line, but they quickly responded, "Understood, Miss Summers. The process will take about two weeks to complete. Please wait patiently." After hanging up the call, Adele put her phone down and booked a flight to Florin, scheduled to depart in two weeks. At the same time, the television was replaying a press conference held by the Sterling Corporation. A week ago, Elias Sterling, CEO of Sterling Corporation, unveiled a masterpiece of jewelry, crafted from the world’s most exquisite diamonds and gemstones. He named it “Adele” in his wife’s honor, a bold declaration of his unwavering love for her to the entire world.As soon as the piece was introduced, it we

When morning came, Elias greeted Adele with his usual kiss. "Addie, I missed our wedding anniversary yesterday. Let me make it up to you today, okay?" "Let’s go to the amusement park. Didn’t you say you wanted to go there before?" Adele had no interest and was about to refuse, but Elias was already getting everything ready without waiting for her reply. He even laid out an outfit for her. At the amusement park, he was attentive to her every move. The moment she pressed her lips together, he brought a bottle of water to her mouth. If her gaze lingered on a stuffed toy for more than a second, he bought it immediately. Carousel rides, bumper cars, the Ferris wheel—Elias didn’t care how childish the activities were. As long as she enjoyed them, he happily went along. He held her hand tightly throughout, barely letting go. Even when she tried to pull away, he only gripped her hand more firmly, as if afraid to lose her. At one point, he even tied a balloon to her bag and chuckl

Adele clutched her chest tightly with her right hand, the pain so intense it left her gasping for air. Elias finally noticed something was wrong and rushed over in alarm. "Addie, what’s wrong?" The worry in his eyes seemed genuine as if her collapse would take him down with her. And yet, this same man, who claimed to love her so deeply, had kept so many secrets from her. Forcing herself to stay calm, she steadied her voice. "It’s nothing… just a cramp." Elias immediately placed his hand over her chest, trying to ease her discomfort. After triple-checking that she was okay, he quickly took her home to rest. On the way back, he worked hard to lighten the mood, sharing amusing stories in an attempt to make her smile. But no matter how much effort he put in, Adele couldn’t bring herself to feel any joy. Leaning against the car window, she silently watched the scenery blur past, her expression unreadable. "Addie, did I do something wrong?" he asked cautiously, testing the

The "Adele" necklace was incredibly valuable, and the only way to sell it was through an auction house. So, Elias had seen it listed at the auction? She didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she countered, "You went to the auction house?" Elias hesitated, his expression briefly faltering. After a few seconds, he replied, "I wanted to buy you some jewelry." “Was it really for me? Or was it for Evelyn…” she thought. Evelyn had gone out of her way to prepare such a grand surprise for him; naturally, he’d feel obligated to return the gesture. Adele had already steadied her emotions. Her voice was calm as she said, "I didn’t sell it. I donated it." Hearing this, Elias let out a frustrated sigh and took her hand. "Addie, I know you’re kind, but if you want to donate something, use anything else. This necklace, of all things, can’t be given away." With that, he pulled out a small box and set it in front of her. The black velvet box opened to reveal the "Adele" necklace, its b

Adele remained silent throughout, unwilling to continue playing along. "It’s getting late. I’m heading home.”Elias immediately stood to follow her, but his friends quickly stepped in to stop him. "Come on, Elias! Adele needs rest, but it’s been forever since we’ve all hung out. You can’t leave yet!" "Exactly. Let her head back for some beauty sleep while you stay and catch up with us." Adele gently pulled her hand from Elias’ grasp, her tone steady. "The driver can take me home. You should stay." Before he could respond, she turned and walked away, her pace quick enough that Elias didn’t have time to stop her. Not long after the car pulled out, Adele felt something unfamiliar in her coat pocket. She reached in and found a phone that wasn’t hers. It was a sleek black one that belonged to Elias. She frowned and asked the driver to turn back. The car had barely stopped outside the bar when Adele spotted Evelyn stepping out of a taxi. Evelyn was busy checking her makeup

When Adele returned home, a high fever overtook her, refusing to break. Elias stumbled in later that night, reeking of alcohol, only to find Adele unconscious, her cheeks flushed an alarming red. Panic washed over him as he rushed to pick her up and drove her straight to the hospital. When Adele finally regained consciousness, her heavy eyelids fluttered open with great effort. Seeing her awake, the nurse who had been changing her IV lit up with delight. "Mrs. Sterling, you’re finally awake! You’ve been running a fever for over a day. Mr. Sterling was so worried. He stayed by your bedside the entire time. He only just stepped out to take a call. Should I go tell him you’re awake? He’ll be so happy to hear it." Adele shook her head weakly, her voice rough and hoarse. "No need." The nurse didn’t press further. After carefully adjusting her IV, she left the room respectfully. The spacious hospital room fell into silence, so quiet that Adele could hear Elias’ voice faintly dri

"It’s nothing," Adele said quietly, her reddened eyes fixed on the view outside the window. The next moment, the night sky burst into a riot of fireworks, dazzling and vibrant. Adele immediately remembered Evelyn’s words from earlier—how Elias had planned a citywide fireworks display to celebrate her pregnancy. Noticing Adele’s gaze lingering on the fireworks, Elias’ eyes softened with affection. "Do you like this? I’ll arrange an even grander display just for you. Better than this one, I promise," he said, holding her tightly and coaxing her with his gentle tone. Adele smiled faintly, but her smile was tinged with bitterness and tears. "Elias," she said softly, her voice carrying a sharp edge, "I don’t like things that others have already used." Whether it was fireworks… or people. Elias froze for a moment, her words piercing through him. Though she was clearly talking about the fireworks, his chest tightened with an inexplicable sense of panic. After a brief silence,

"Sorry, I don’t want to marry you. Let’s break up. I don’t love you anymore." In the dream, Adele pulled her hand away and walked farther and farther away. "Addie! No! You can’t do this! I’ll treat you so well. You love the cream puffs from Eastland, right? I’ll buy them for you every day. Jewelry, property, shares—everything I have, I’ll give it all to you. Just stay with me, please!" Elias begged desperately, his voice trembling with emotion. But Adele’s figure never looked back. Not even a single glance. He chased after her with everything he had, but all he caught was empty air. Even the two engagement rings in his hand had disappeared. Addie didn’t want him anymore. She didn’t want his love or anything else he could offer. "Addie... Addie..." Elias murmured her name over and over, his eyes tightly shut. Cold sweat glistened on his pale face, and blood beaded on his lips where he had bitten them. Elliot watched, his clouded eyes shadowed with worry. He let out a de

To avenge Adele, Elias had once used ruthless means to suppress the families of a few "friends" who had spoken ill of her. Now that they had finally found an opportunity to strike back, there was no chance they’d let it slip by.Evelyn didn’t care that she was being used as a pawn. As long as she could exact revenge, nothing else mattered. If her life was miserable, why should Elias be allowed to live happily? Simply reporting him wasn’t enough. She created a new social media account and began live-streaming her grievances, revealing every detail of her past with Elias. In no time, Sterling Corporation, which had only recently begun to recover its reputation, saw its public image collapse once more. Even Elias’ own standing took repeated blows. Forced to return home to face the investigations, Elias had no choice but to pause his search for Adele.Back home, chaos reigned. Several employees betrayed the company, creating further upheaval. Sterling Corporation, already under immens

After a moment of silence, Elias clumsily began to apologize. "Addie, it’s all my fault. I was wrong. I shouldn’t have gotten involved with another woman. I made Evelyn terminate the pregnancy, and I’ve already sent her away. Please, I’m begging you—can’t you forgive me?"“I’ll do anything, just don’t leave me!” he pleaded desperately.But Adele remained calm, her voice steady. She smiled softly, almost tenderly, and then spoke.“All right. I forgive you.”The unexpected response left Elias completely stunned, his mind reeling.“Really?” he asked, almost breathless, too caught up in her words to notice the subtle edge beneath them. Adele let out a cold laugh. “Isn’t this what you wanted to hear? Fine, I don’t care about the past anymore. I forgive you. Happy now? If you are, then let’s leave it at that.”If all he wanted was to hear her say she forgave him, she could say it as many times as he liked. But if he thought they could ever go back to how things were, he was fooling himsel

Elias was overwhelmed with guilt. If given the chance to start over, he would have stayed true to himself. But life offered no second chances. Standing on an unfamiliar street, he felt utterly lost, like a child unsure of what to do next. Should he keep searching? Absolutely. But where should he even begin?"Hello, the woman in this photo is my wife. She’s upset with me and wandered off, and I’m trying to find her. Could you share her contact information with me?" Elias asked earnestly.The hotel clerk hesitated for a long time, his expression conflicted. It wasn’t until Elias pulled out a large sum of money that the man’s face lit up with a smile, and he quickly handed over Adele’s contact information.Elias immediately dialed her number, but the call went unanswered. “She’s probably still on the plane,” he reassured himself.Determined to show Adele how sincere he was in apologizing and acknowledging his mistakes, Elias posted an open letter of apology online. In painstaking

The phone on the bed chimed incessantly with notifications of photos and sightings sent by netizens.The flood of information left Elias struggling to distinguish the useful from the irrelevant. The sheer number of people chasing the reward made it impossible to sift through the chaos. Even with hired help to filter the leads, the workload was overwhelming.At this point, he regretted ever making that decision. But what choice did he have? Without the collective efforts of the online community or Adele herself revealing her whereabouts, he had no way of finding her.Sitting on the bed, Elias was on the verge of despair. Just then, a few assistants sent over several photos. "Mr. Sterling, someone reported seeing Adele in front of a church in Bertin City, Ashford. We’ve already sent people to check. You should head there as soon as possible."The message reignited his hope. Regardless of whether the lead was real or not, he had to try. He couldn’t abandon his one and only chance. L

Elias' nervousness grew more palpable, and a faint sheen of cold sweat dampened his palms. He stood there waiting, but no one came to the door. Panic stirred in his chest, and without thinking, he reached out to push the door. To his dismay, it was firmly locked, refusing to budge. Nearby, a small blackboard caught his attention. On it were the words: "Closed today."At first, he had assumed the sign meant Adele was expecting him—that she had marked the inn as closed to other guests, leaving it just for their reunion. But now, the meaning was painfully clear: she had no intention of seeing him. At that moment, it dawned on him. Adele had played him. She had never planned to meet with him. This was her way of rejecting him. Every detail screamed at him, loud and unforgiving. “Sorry, I’m not going to forgive you.”Elias stared at the inn in disbelief. His mind reeled back to the past, to the moments they had dreamed of together. Back then, they had talked about opening a seasid

At first, the public merely mocked the situation. Some, envious of the reward, deliberately provided useless information and false evidence. However, as time went on, valid leads began to surface. Once people realized they could actually claim the prize, many online users started to frantically pitch in. Even Adele heard about the news. Countless people were determined to track her down, yet she felt no gratitude toward them. Instead, she found it slightly aggravating. She had already erased her identity—wasn’t that enough to show her resolve? Adele knew herself well. She wasn’t the kind of person who would go back to what she had left behind. From beginning to end, she had never planned to forgive him. Looking at Elias’ words of apology, she found them utterly ridiculous. If he knew he was in the wrong, why had he pretended nothing had ever happened before? How many times had she wished he would have the courage to tell her outright that he had fallen out of love and found

The divorce agreement was nothing more than Adele’s final parting gift to Elias, a way to cut ties completely. Ironically, it became the only thing he had left to remember her by. He had it laminated, just so he could bear the constant wear from flipping through it multiple times a day."Addie, where are you? I truly know I was wrong. I’m not asking for forgiveness, just a glimpse of you—just once!" "Addie, everyone who hurt you has paid the price—even me, in every possible way. Please, won’t you come see me, just once?""Addie..."No one knew how long Elias murmured to himself before his body gave out, and he collapsed.Meanwhile, dealing with the families of those former "friends" of his wasn’t as easy as the Sterling family had imagined. When news of Elias and Adele’s broken marriage spread, countless people lamented, saying they’d lost faith in love. Once, they were the epitome of a perfect couple, adored by fans who became loyal customers of Sterling Corporation out of love for
