Chapter 551 He Has Something to Say

"Of course! Who wants to hear hurtful words?” Zoey exclaimed, watching Laurence’s taut expression. She scoffed, "You aren’t so deluded as to think that you have been speaking nicely in the past, are you?" She expected Laurence would refute her by telling her that the truth was always hurtful, but unexpectedly, he did not.A moment of silence later, he said lazily, "If you like sweet talk, I can do that too." Then as though having a change of mind, he continued, "But what use is there of sweet talk?" Indeed, what was the use of sweet-talking? Nothing but empty promises that would never come true.Laurence's condescending gaze fell on Jared again. He guessed Jared must have made Zoey many promises, one of which would be marriage. But was he sure he'd be able to marry her? Who could say for certain? The only reason Laurence had been able to put up with Jared hanging around Zoey recently was because he was sure there was no way they could end up together. Or, more specifically, he was

Chapter 552 Hurting Lovers

The two hadn’t met in a long time, and even without saying a word, they both put on intimidating airs. Shawn had exquisite facial features that gave him a sharp look, and Laurence had no intentions of reining in his domineering attitude. His calm façade could not hide his bone-piercing gaze.Initially, he had been able to joke about Zoey having her choice of men, but as time went on, the thought of Zoey's past with Shawn infuriated him so much that he lost sleep thinking about it at night. It was a thorn in his side that pained him each time he thought of it, and every time he did, his hatred for Shawn grew. It bothered him so much. How could it not? He had told Zoey it was all in the past, but what else could he do? He had to make the best out of the situation. He wasn’t left with much choice, was he?Shawn had caught a lasting cold that refused to go away and he coughed intermittently. Though his throat was sore, his voice still sounded fine. He demanded, "Why are you hounding he

Chapter 472 Regrets

"Even she thinks something happened between us. I didn't tell her the truth. I lied. She probably still thinks she'd betrayed you to this day." It got increasingly arduous for Shawn to speak. He struggled to catch his next breath, and his eyes were bloodshot. With a final burst of energy, he pushed Laurence off of him. He felt like his throat had been slit open. A metallic tang gushed up within him. "I thought you'd divorce her after that. But I waited so long, and you never did. The tolerance you have for her exceeded my expectations. I planned on never telling you this so it can bother you the rest of your life. But I thought about it, and there’s no need for it anymore." Shawn's throat itched and hurt. He coughed violently until he bent over, and even then, with his face unbelievably pale, he lifted his face to look Laurence in the eyes. "Laurence Scott, you do not deserve her love." He did not realize the bitterness in his voice or the iciness of his gaze. He was so envio

Chapter 554 Burden

"I was just wondering why you were suddenly being so kind to me today. Is it so that I feel sorry for her?"Laurence's face turned pale. The reckless, frivolous days of his youth were long gone, and he now rarely resorted to violence to settle matters. He hardly let his fists do the talking, yet, he almost let that dormant side of his win. The irritability almost took over."That's not it."Shawn looked up at Laurence's face, which only screamed hostility. As their gazes collided, he couldn't help but notice the bloodshot veins in his eyes that were impossible to conceal. He was probably still in agony.Only love could cause such torment. Had he hurt someone he didn't love, it wouldn't have brought him pain nor evoked any guilt at all.As dusk crept nearer, the sky gradually deepened.Laurence didn't feel any pain from his wounds. Climbing into his car, he glanced at his reflection in the rearview mirror, taking in the image of the utterly disheveled man. His eyes were so bloodsh

Chapter 555 Worthless

Probably in hopes of not making things difficult for Zoey, Jared agreed to the company's request.On weekdays, he would work in Northwell, and every Friday, he would fly back to Southgrove.At the very least, he was a young lad unafraid of the hustle and bustle of life.On the other hand, Zoey didn't feel any newfound relief. Perhaps she had never regarded him as a burden since the beginning.Down in the dumps, Jared packed his luggage reluctantly. Holding his full suitcase, he turned back to look at her. At some point, their collaboration, which initially revolved around money and obligation, had surpassed those boundaries and gradually became something real to him."Will you miss me?" asked Jared.Zoey pondered for a moment before speaking honestly, "I will."Afraid that he wouldn't believe her, she repeated her words. Despite the soft volume, they echoed in his ears. "Jared Peyton, I will miss you."In fact, Zoey was not hesitant when it came to expressing her love. She was

Chapter 556 Unbearable

Zoey was fairly content with her life the way it was currently. Truth be told, peace was all she longed for.The sight of Laurence no longer elicited a dreadful reaction from her. It could be that, as she read online, she was gradually becoming desensitized. The more they met, the easier it was for her to let go, little by little.What could he say to her? At worst, it would just be more threats.She was now unaffected by his threats.But reality didn't seem to point toward that.He held her wrist tightly. Each word he uttered seemed to be a struggle as he spoke slowly and deliberately at a snail's pace. Although his tone conveyed composure, his voice lacked any semblance of peace. "I want to say it."He released her wrist and slowly raised his hand to her face, gently resting it against her cheek. His fingertips were cool to the touch, and the freezing sensation sent a chill down her spine. His thumb lingered on her face for a good while.His eyes were fixated on her; the emo

Chapter 557 The Same, Useless Regret

When it came to certain things, time couldn't mend the scars even if the topic remained untouched.Zoey could perceive no significance in bringing this up now. It had been so long. What difference would it make to know the truth now?It wouldn't magically undo the past.Ironically, his words only served to refresh her memory of the incident, including his repeated attempts at humiliating her."I ..."Faced with her resistance, he felt his throat grow tickly. However, before he could speak, he got coldly interrupted."Stop saying such meaningless things." Zoey fought to keep her cool, her voice trembling. "I don't want to hear it."Back then, Laurence had refused to listen to her explanation.Now, she didn't want to hear his.It was no different.A gust of spring breeze blew past, and the weather changed in the blink of an eye.The sun quietly set, welcoming the gray sky and dense fog. It looked as though it would rain soon.Without warning, thunder rumbled ominously overhea

Chapter 558 Change of Heart

Laurence returned to the hotel to take a shower and change into clean clothes.It was already noon, but the rain didn't look like it would stop anytime soon.Although he had always been in good health, he felt dizziness strike him after the shower. Maybe it was the early symptoms of a cold, he thought, making him feel light-headed like this.A nap should be just what he needed right now. His eyes were terrifyingly bloodshot from staying up all night. Rubbing his temples, he forced himself to buck up.The messages he sent seemed to have vanished without a trace. None of them got him a response.He found himself clicking open their chat half a dozen times per minute. He didn't receive a single reply—not a single word, not even a random letter.Scrolling through the chatroom to see the conversation that had long ceased, Laurence could feel a sharp pain comparable with a severed artery. It was an intense, piercing pain.His pain perception was seemingly delayed. He wasn't dense when

Chapter 559 First-hand

Laurence's sudden interrogation caught Sarah off guard, leaving her at a loss for words.In all honesty, the fear of being exposed had long settled in when she learned that Shawn had managed to recall the past. She was afraid that he would reveal the truth to Laurence.Initially, it deeply troubled her, but the unease gradually subsided as time passed. In fact, she had nearly forgotten about it altogether. Given the tension between him and Laurence as arch-enemies, she thought he would never leak a word.For Laurence to suddenly bring this matter up now of all times, she knew the only reason was that Shawn had told him.By instinct, she tried to defend herself. However, looking up to meet the man's dark eyes seemed to lodge her entire argument in her throat like an extinguished flame.Right now, she could barely string together the words to explain herself.Time and time again, she had done too many wrongs and sought forgiveness through "it wasn't on purpose."She had lost cou

In recent days, Jasmine found herself deeply troubled by the company's operations. The impact of payment delays on several of their projects came as a terrible surprise. After all the trouble of using connections to secure a convenient deal with the resettlement housing program, the plans suddenly fell through for no apparent reason.Only with this project would the company have something to work on for the second half of the year.She was just feeling relieved that the funds could be turned around when she received a call nixing the agreement. Since they had yet to sign the contract, there was no legal issue with pulling out. Jasmine gripped her phone tightly. Presently, she dared not lose her temper and could only grovel softly, "Did something go wrong? Or could there be something about us you're dissatisfied with? How about this, Mrs. Sullivan, I'll treat you to a meal once I return to Northwell, and we can discuss it in person."Mrs. Sullivan had quite an influential figure
