Divorce: His Biggest Regret 166
Chapter 166Valerie Will~•~I pulled it out of my purse and saw Patrick’s name flashing across the screen. “Where are you?” He demanded, the urgency evident in his voice. “I’m at the bridal dress shop with Blair.” Without delay, he barked. “Leave there now.” My lips parted in confusion and I blinked. “What?” “You heard me correctly, leave there right away.” Patrick practically barked his words. “Jordan isn’t associated with us anymore.” “What are you even talking about?” I took a step back, heading over to a quiet corner. “What did he do?” I asked, my heart racing. “I’m on my way home right now. I’ll explain everything to you.” “Okay, but I can’t just abandon Blair. I’ll see you later.”With that, I ended the call and turned off my phone. I didn’t want Patrick to try and convince me to leave. But I couldn’t stop wondering what must’ve happened between him and Jordan. He sounded so upset and I had never heard me speak about Jordan in that manner before. It bothered me that

Chapter 165Patrick Banks ~•~I texted Jordan to ask him where he was. After he responded, I drove over to his house. “Hey.” He said as he answered the front door. I didn’t respond. I just walked into the living room. “What’s going on?” Jordan asked with a skeptical look as he stood in front of me. “Why do you look……weird?” He added. I didn’t even know how to say what I wanted to say. I let out a deep sigh. “Is everything okay?” He continued. “Did you ask Massimo for help when Benjamin came to New York?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “Did you ask them to do whatever it takes to remove him from the picture?” Jordan’s expression flattered for a brief second. Then he let out a sharp exhale and began pacing back and forth around the living room. He didn’t answer my question. I let out a deep breath. “Jordan, look me in the eyes and tell me that you aren’t responsible for my brother’s death.” I continued, my voice calm. Jordan paused and stared at me. “I’m not res

Chapter 164Patrick Banks ~•~I met Massimo at a private restaurant. As soon as I saw him, he asked his security guards to search me. “What was that for?” I asked with a bitter scoff. He adjusted his glasses. “What if you were wearing a wire and wanted to set me up?” He replied, gesturing for me to sit on the empty chair opposite him. “A wire? I’m trying to find a way to save my company and you think I’m wearing a wire?” I glared at him, still standing there. “I’m sorry. Just precautions. Nothing personal.” He offered a lame apology. “Sit and let’s talk.” I sat down and went straight to the point. “You said that I asked you to help me kill my brother?” I breathed, the words sounding hollow even to my own ears. “Nobody is listening to our conversation Patrick, you can drop the act now,” Massimo replied, his voice cold. “We did you a huge favor.” I tilted my head in confusion. “When did I come to you for help?” I asked, genuinely confused. “You’re tripping, man. Where did we me

Chapter 163Valerie Will~•~Jordan’s fiancée and I weren’t initially close, but after they got engaged, she started coming around more often. I got to know her and realized that she was actually a cool person. I even offered to be part of her wedding planning team, partly because I wanted to help out genuinely, and partly because I felt it was the least I could do after she helped organize that beautiful baby shower. At first, it was just about returning a favor, but somewhere along the line, I could notice that it was developing into something else. Maybe we would actually be friends. I didn’t have many friends, so I didn’t shut down the idea completely. We even had to go to the wedding dress shop for her fittings later in the day. Jordan had been nothing but wonderful to Patrick, and I wanted to support him and his new family. I knew it was a good idea to go out with everything that was going on, but I had already promised Blair that I would accompany her and wanted to keep t

Chapter 162Patrick Banks ~•~Ten million dollars? That was chump change to me. But it was still too much to throw at someone who decided to stab me in the back. I let out a scoff. “You must be out of your mind.” I couldn’t hide the irritation on my face even if I tried. Her face fell. “Do you know how risky it is for me to release a public statement saying I was just trying to frame you?” “You should have thought about the consequences before you went public with something like that … or told whoever you told.” A deep sigh escaped her lips. “Patrick, I’m sorry for exposing the truth about your company. I never wanted it to get to that point.” She continued, folding her arms around her chest. “But I need to protect myself. I need something before I can lie to ....” “Stop!” I snapped before she could complete her statement. “Don’t ever say it’s a lie anymore,” I warned, my voice low but venomous. She swallowed hard. “Fine.” “I’ll give you some money. But I’m not giving you ten

Chapter 161Patrick Banks ~•~I had no idea who texted me anonymously to rat out my former assistant, but I was grateful that the person did. However, I had to pay a huge sum of money to get the information. That wasn’t important. The only thing I wanted to do was drive over to my assistant’s house and confront her about the situation. I didn’t even contact her yet, I wanted to catch her off guard. As I drove over there, I couldn’t believe that she would betray me after so many years. But at the same time, I couldn’t even blame her. I was wrong to fire her abruptly. But I didn’t think she would sell me out like that. She knew how serious those accusations were and how they would affect the company. Still, she let her emotions get the best of her. The worst part was that I had no idea she even knew about it. Even though I thought I trusted her to an extent, I still kept my dealings with Massimo a secret. That was one of the reasons why I didn’t even want him anywhere near my c
