Semua Bab It All Amounts to Nothing: Bab 21 - Bab 27

I glanced at Harvey through the reflection in the mirror. Just the first photo alone was enough to make Harvey's world go dark.In the photo, Debbie was laughing and chatting with a stranger as they entered a hotel. Judging from the photo, they seemed close.The next photo was even more damning—it was their hotel check-in record. The record clearly listed Debbie's ID number and full name, with a special note indicating the room type with an electric-powered king-size bed. The date of the check-in coincided with the days Debbie had calculated as her conception period."An electric-powered king-size bed?" Harvey questioned in disbelief as he stared at the photos. "Debbie, didn't you tell me you were a traditional woman? You were too shy to even hold my hand, but you went and booked a room with another man, and not just any room, but one like this?"His body trembled in shock as he looked at the pictures. Even though I was far away, I could still hear the sound of his heart breaking.

Although Harvey still didn't know Adrian's true identity, he was well aware that even without Adrian, my family had enough power in this city to make him regret everything.That day, I watched as Harvey and his family walked out of the villa that belonged solely to me in tears.Afterward, I contacted the property management and made sure that those three were permanently blacklisted from my home. I never wanted to see a single one of them at my doorstep again.However, I never could have imagined that just a year of carelessness on my part would invite an unexpected nuisance.Early in the morning, I was woken by a commotion outside my house.At first, I thought it was just some neighbors moving in, so I paid it no mind. However, I soon realized the voices outside were discussing me.I walked out of the villa with a frown and saw Debbie walking around, handing out flyers to curious neighbors."Belle may look elegant and refined, but in reality, she's utterly shameless!" Debbie sh

After handling the matters, Adrian took me abroad.Of course, it wasn't for a vacation.Adrian told me that he could help me pursue further studies in art, something I had always wanted to do.He knew that I had loved painting since I was a child and had a natural talent for design. However, for Harvey's sake, I had given up on my artistic dreams.As the only daughter in my family, I was raised with the belief that my duty was to study business and eventually take over the family business.Over the years, I had mentioned to Harvey a few times that I wanted to continue my studies in fine arts, but he always dismissed the idea.He even thought I was being petty, calling me a spoiled rich kid who needed to be more practical and stop chasing unrealistic dreams.Out of respect for his opinion, I put my aspirations on hold.Now that Harvey's affairs were settled, I had come to see things more clearly.Life was short, and it was important to hold onto some dreams. I casually mentio

In just a few days, I learned that Harvey had lost numerous contracts with suppliers, and on top of that, he was facing tens of millions in penalties—a sum he could never repay in his lifetime. He had to give up everything, but the truth was, he didn't have much left to begin with. In that short time, Harvey went from being a powerful CEO to a bankrupt man everyone despised.Still clinging to a sliver of hope, he ran from one hospital to another across the province, seeking medical advice. However, he received the same cold, unyielding response every single time.At that moment, the proud Harvey finally broke down.Meanwhile, Debbie quietly aborted their child without telling Harvey and vanished without a trace. With that massive diamond ring on her finger, I'm sure she and her young lover would be set for life.As for Harvey's family, who I had kicked out, they had nowhere to turn. Accustomed to a life of comfort, they couldn't handle the harsh reality of being without even a ro
