All Chapters of Ex-Lover's Regret: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Chris's POV I immediately brought Richard closer when I saw him walking back from the figure of the man, away from the sight of him that I didn't want to meet. I looked at my son quite sharply, barely controlling my emotions. "Richard, how could you do something like that? You almost made Mom's heart stop beating." I said, holding both of my son's arms tightly. "Mom, there's no need to be afraid. I'm fine." He answered calmly, looking confident despite his long chat with the man. "That man didn't recognize me at all and just thought of me as an ordinary child." I paused, not feeling like agreeing with Richard's words. My son was a genius. Although Chris didn't know my son's identity at the moment, he must have also felt that Richard was not an ordinary child. "Hm... in my opinion, he's not very smart either, ma'am. He didn't realize the shortcomings of the housekeeper robot prototype on display there." Richard snorted. Staring at the direction he came from earlier with a dismissi

Adeline's POV"How did something like this happen to our company, Father?" I asked, really not expecting that something like this could happen so quickly. "Our family situation is going to get even worse!"I hadn't finished imagining the various summer collections I could achieve with this family fortune if the situation were normal. Still, the reality of our situation was such that my hopes were shattered.Not only that, even though I wasn't directly involved in the business, I knew that paying for the losses and covering the abruptly severed cooperation would make the family's fortune even less. Even just covering daily expenses would be difficult.My mom also protested, having just discovered the same thing as me. "Honey, you're just scaring us, right? You said yourself that our business would still be able to survive for a while longer!"My mother and I protested to Smith. The man just sat there and held both sides of the sofa he was sitting on tightly but didn't say anything for

Adeline's POVI felt a huge prickle in my head when I woke up, and my eyes were closed. The sunlight coming through the skinny curtains made me feel uncomfortable, and I wanted to lie down again, but I couldn't do it.Chris is already getting ready at this hour, so I should try to get close to him again. Last night was a failure, but that didn't mean I immediately gave up on my plan to conquer that guy."Ugh." I touched my forehead again as I moved to the end of the bed, reaching for the drink and hangover cure that the maid had prepared.I checked my appearance in the mirror and grabbed my sleeping robe, hurrying downstairs and not seeing Chris anywhere. Neither outside nor in his room, nor was his car there. He had left early in the morning.I gritted my teeth. "What an asshole!" That guy completely ignored me this time.I didn't care if anyone else was listening to me in the house. After all, there were only servants in this house, and there shouldn't be anyone who would dare to div

Nicole's POVI couldn't stop smiling when I heard Key's words about the fate of the family that had abandoned me. I was so happy that I looked back at the man accompanying me to tea with Richard with a sparkling gaze."So, the Martinez Family is bankrupt?" I asked, receiving a nod from Key.The man showed me the stock rankings on the screen of the tab he was holding from the report that had been made. "The last company partnered with the Martinez Family was forcefully terminated yesterday. They also received a fine of two hundred million dollars, Miss." Key explained solemnly.The man very nicely explained everything that happened in the final seconds before the family's bankruptcy occurred, but I only listened to him briefly. The words I often heard from Key's report were Smith, loss, expulsion, and other things that made me smile even wider.The red color and minus sign in the percentages of the Martinez Family's company shares that I saw in front of me took up most of my attention,

Nicole's POV".... I am now at the scene. There has been no word from the Martinez Family until now, so I can only report from the front fence of the conglomerate family's house."A reporter broke the news on television, looking calm and holding a cell phone in his hand. The front of the family home also looked ordinary and devoid of activity, very different from the news the reporter was about to deliver."This is the video evidence of the violent acts committed by the alleged husband and wife Martinez and their family's only child against the servants. Let's watch."The chaos soon replaced the calmness of the reporter's demeanor heard from the television screen showing the video evidence. I could see several figures of servants neatly lined up in a row to the side, looking scared and clasping their hands together in front of them."What incompetent servants!" Mia shouted in front of the servants, who immediately frowned in fear. "What are you doing that you dare to make such a mess,
