All Chapters of A Second Chance: The Billionaire's Quest for Forgiveness : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"Hey, Mark! What brings you here?" Prisley welcomed him into the room with a big smile.Mark placed the bouquet on the table, his eyes gleaming with warmth as he looked at her. "I heard about the trouble with your company's project last night, so I arranged a flight early this morning to come and be with you.""You didn't have to come all this way for me; I have other colleagues here," Prisley replied."This area's not too very safe. I'm worried," Mark insisted."You should put half of that concern into your own company," Prisley retorted."If you were working with me, I would. I'd give a hundred percent to the company," Mark joked.Prisley didn't want to engage in banter; she withdrew her smile. "I need to go handle things at the project company. You go have fun or wait for me at the hotel.""Have lunch with me at least," Mark insisted reluctantly as she left.It was said that Warner Company had a female executive assistant to the president who was efficient in her work, and Mark want

"Get in!"Heather gave Prisley a shove on the shoulder. Prisley stumbled, taking two steps back, instinctively protecting her stomach. Heather walked into the room and slammed the door shut. The loud bang made Prisley's heart skip a beat."You didn't expect me to come, did you?" Heather closed in on her, his voice icy, his eyes scanning her with a ruthless glare. Prisley felt a chill run down her spine.She could tell Heather was unusually angry today. Had he lost his mind?Remembering the unpleasant encounter in the office earlier, she feared he might do something crazy again. She tried to remain calm."Mr. Rynn, if you have something to discuss, let's go downstairs.""It's better for you if we talk here. Do you really want to discuss your intimate photos with him in front of everyone downstairs?""You said you were on a business trip. I even had Steve accompany you and let you use my private jet. And you used it to have a romantic getaway?" Heather's voice grew louder with every word

Holding Prisley, Heather had a strange feeling. He always acted high and mighty. When did he start caring about her?But he involuntarily tightened his arms around Prisley, holding her firmly.Prisley hesitated for a moment, not resisting. She was truly tired, too exhausted to fight back."Heather," Prisley whispered."I'm here," Heather buried his head in her neck, responding."I'm tired. I want a peaceful life. Let me go, please? I'm begging you."No hysteria, no yelling, it’s just a calm request. Her voice was weak, tugging at the heartstrings.Prisley really felt exhausted. She felt her heart slowly breaking into pieces, unable to piece it back together.Heather instinctively held her tighter."You ask me to pretend to be Filla, but I'm not her. I'm tired of pretending, I just want to be myself again. All the good impressions I gave you were fake, not me. You love her. Or maybe the fake me. The real me isn't good at all, not worth you forcing to keep.""Sleep, you're tired," Heathe

"Prisley, you don't have to go tonight." Heather said, his tone heavy with melancholy."Why not? You already agreed with Steve."Heather drew her closer, his embrace tightening. "I just... don't want you to go." He confessed, his gaze softening, a hint of vulnerability quite different from his previous icy cold.Caught off guard by this rare display of emotion from Heather, Prisley felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Despite being together for four years, she had rarely seen this side of him.Leaning into his chest, she was about to offer words of comfort when Heather abruptly released her, his gaze once again veiled in frost."You can go now." He walked out of the office, leaving Prisley behind.Back at her own desk, Prisley couldn't shake off the feeling of confusion. This man... he had been tender and affectionate moments ago, but now he seemed distant and cold.She sighed, trying to make sense of it all.Meanwhile, Heather struggled with his own confusion. The reason of Prisley'

Steve was alarmed. "These guys won't help. They'll just get beaten up with us."He told Prisley, "You should leave. I can't hold out much longer here."Prisley smiled calmly and glanced at the huge guys walking in. She waved at them.The guys instantly formed a solid wall between Prisley and the rebellious man.Steve finally sighed in relief.It turned out Prisley had contacted a security company in advance and hired dozens of bodyguards to help secure the accounts.Seeing Steve's sweaty face, Prisley smiled calmly, "Don't worry. It'll be fine.""Wow, you planned all this?" Steve asked."Do you think I'm busy every day for no reason?" Prisley replied."They think I don't know engineering and are trying to evade responsibility. I really don't, but I can bring in a professional team.""We haven't started the audit yet, but I'm sure these rats are up to no good."Steve silently applauded. Under Heather's training, she became just as ruthless as he is."Brad works for David," Prisley conti
