All Chapters of To Be Yours Again: Chapter 771 - Chapter 780

Knowing what was on Derrick's mind, McKenna coughed awkwardly. "Derrick, I know you're a capable man, but you couldn't quite realize your ambitions. That's why you wanted to climb the social ladder. But I hope you understand that you and I are ordinary people, and we should live accordingly. There's no need to social climb just to survive. I wish you could let go of your obsession and focus on your work. Don't be distracted by other matters."He listened keenly to her earnest advice, albeit puzzled at her willingness to talk at length with him. She blushed under his perplexed gaze and stammered, "I think you're a decent man, but I didn't like you much before because you were a little arrogant."In other words, she was willing to get to know him better if he could change his behavior. He smiled, feeling speechless. It was a serendipitous moment for him."I got it." He nodded as he realized that he needed a change in mindset. He had been obsessed with marrying the right girl, especial

James couldn't contain his laughter. "Dad, Mom, you're too elitist. What would others think of us if they heard about this?"Their faces fell, embarrassed at being called out. "How could you label us as elitist? Everyone knew what had happened between you and Jolene Walter. In fact, they are laughing at us behind our backs. No one will fault us for calling off the engagement now."Patricia was a tad worried about James' silence. "Could you have fallen for her?""Hah." He scoffed, "Do you think that's plausible?"She thought about it and shook her head. No, that sounded improbable. She knew James well, and he would never be attracted to sly and calculative women."If that's the case, calling off the engagement is the best option for all." No one cared if she hadn't included Jolene's best interests in her blanket statement.James understood that calling off the engagement was the right course of action. He could not possibly marry Jolene after all. But…When he was deep in thought

"I understood every word you said, but I can't possibly live my life with memory loss. Plus, you know the long-term effects if I do not opt for surgery." Alec examined Blake carefully as though he suspected an ulterior motive.Blake understood the necessity of the surgery, but she simply hoped that the surgery could be delayed for a few months. She knew better than to say her thoughts aloud, so she muttered, "I know. I'm just worried for you.""Don't worry. My luck isn't that bad." He wouldn't go down before he could take over the Faust family.Blake didn't say a word because she knew that any objection would only irk him. Instead, she turned her attention to Jenny.On that afternoon, Jenny was surprised to find Blake at her office. "Miss Watkins, are you here to talk to me?""Yes," Blake replied. Frowning, Jenny wanted to remind her that it was business hours, but Blake said, "I'm the final patient on your list today. You don't have to worry about the next patient." Then, she han

Rowena kept a smile on her face even after being confronted by Jenny. "Oh, let's drop that and eat. We can discuss it after dinner." Meanwhile, she went into the kitchen and prepared two more dishes. Then, she took a seat at the table to eat with them.The trio stared at the dishes on the table, but Jenny and Graham didn't touch the food out of fear that Rowena might have added something to it.Rowena seemed to read their mind and tested all the dishes in front of them. "Go ahead. The food's safe to eat."Jenny and Graham exchanged glances and started eating in silence. Throughout dinner, Jenny decided she would help keep Graham level-headed against whatever Rowena wanted to say later. She didn't want Graham to change his mind because of Rowena's words.In fact, Jenny had underestimated Graham's resolve. He would have overlooked the minor tricks that Rowena pulled, but he wouldn't forgive her for harming the Walters and Jenny. Therefore, Rowena's efforts that day were destined to g

In the end, Rowena left the villa with the signed divorce papers and the offer of a countryside villa and 15 million dollars. She did not want the two apartment properties initially offered to her, which were admittedly in a better location than the villa she received, because she believed that she should live in villas, not high-rise buildings. Ever since birth, she had been living in villas, which led to her odd insistence on receiving a villa at the time of divorce.After negotiating with Graham, the 15 million dollars she received was the final agreement. He was speechless at her obstinance and added another 5 million dollars because he couldn't be bothered with her. But the deal was far from ideal for her because she visited Graham with at least one billion dollars in mind, and she only left with a tenth of the amount she wanted, which was a huge difference.However, she had her concerns. Like Graham told her, she needed to think in Jolene's best interests. Whatever she had done
