Chapter 330

“No. I have to stay with you,” Lenny insisted, unwilling to release the umbrella.

Angeline glanced over at a cafe on the sidewalk.

Three minutes later, she and Ned were sat across from each other at the cafe. His gaze was fixated on her as he struggled to maintain his composure.

In a hoarse voice, he began, “Congratulations—”

“Did you come all the way here to congratulate me?”

Angeline brought her coffee near to her lips.

“I remember I told you to stay away from me. I find it very annoying.”

His grip around the coffee cup tightened as he asked, “Did you establish Vitality Biotech Group?”

The million-dollar question finally struck Angeline. Having no intentions to hide it from him, she nodded.

“Yes. Did you come to beg me for Fletcher Corporation?”

Ned felt different hearing her admission directly compared to hearing it from the grapevine.

His eyes grew red as a smile spread across his face.

He said earnestly, “Angie, you’ve always been very talented. I weighed you down when we were together.”

Angeline took a sip of her coffee.

She dropped her gaze, reluctant to meet his eyes, as she replied impatiently, “So?”

Ned wheezed, a nasal undertone evident in his voice as he spoke, “If this is your revenge… I hope you’ll stop hating me once Fletcher Corporation goes bankrupt.”

He didn’t ask her for a chance. He simply wanted her resentment toward him to

cease.

“Have you completely given up?”

Angeline smirked.

“I told you I’d do anything for you.”

Ned swallowed and forced a smile. His gaze dropped to his coffee.

“If Fletcher Corporation’s bankruptcy is what you want, I’ll accept my fate.”

“You’ve never changed after all these years.”

Angeline got up to leave, taking her bag with her.

“Angie!”

Ned shot up. He sniffed, a few tears trickling down his eyes. He brushed them away hastily.

“Can’t you stay with me for a moment? Just a moment!”

She didn’t turn around.

Her expression was stoic as she replied, “My time is precious.”

He finally couldn’t hold himself back as she strode out of the cafe.

Dashing after her, he wailed in the

rain as she was about to get

car.

“I regret it!” he sobbed, tears streaming down his face.

her

“You’ve….. You’ve asked me if I’d regret what I’ve done to you once I regain my

memory. Angie, I really do!”

He cried, “bregret it so much that I’d

do anything to turn back time so

could kill myself back then

Angie

truly regret what I’ve done!

Angeline faltered, but she still lowered herself into the car.

“Once you’re satisfied with Fletcher Corporation’s bankruptcy, can we get to know

each other again? Can we start all over again?”

She heard his desperate yells before Lenny shut the door.

Under the street lights, she gazed at

the streaks of rain trailing down the car window: She felt utterly calm. She thought Ned had approached her to plead for Fletcher Corporation. She was prepared to crush his hope, just as he’d done to her at the hotel at River Town when

she sought justice for Henrietta.

Only then would the sweet taste of revenge satisfy her. However, the way Ned

simply gave in to her made her lose all interest.
