I Never Should've Saved You Chapter 11
I'd endured long enough.It was time to close the net.After I took over the company, I deliberately undercut Simone on several major deals in a row.Scott Group had never been able to rival Gale Group. After that scandal years ago, which haunted her through college before she dropped out, she was already at a major disadvantage. She lacked credibility and any real business experience.Every time she went to the partners to demand an explanation or tried to talk them into backing out of my deals, she failed."Justin, is this revenge? It's been over eight years. Shouldn't you be over it by now? Can we just talk?"While she was desperately trying to get a meeting with me, I personally submitted evidence of her tax evasion and money laundering from the past few years.As a result, she was arrested at the airport.I stood not far away and watched quietly as the police put her in cuffs.Her face twisted in pain, like she wanted to say something. I stepped closer and finally heard h

I looked Simone in the eye and said, "If I could go back, I'd never save you. I'd rather you'd been left there to burn. You were never worth my kindness."Simone stood there, stunned, unable to say a word.I shifted slightly to avoid her and went upstairs without looking back.The next day, Simone was gone.In the dorm, one of the guys who always woke up early to work out said, "She said she's heading back and won't bother you again."I nodded, thanked him, and went back to my own business.Not long after, I found out through a mutual friend's social media that Simone and Ralph had started dating.She kept sending messages, complaining about everything."Those two are glued at the hip every day, showing off their love nonstop. I'm sick of it.""I heard Simone got voted campus belle. Makes sense. She's beautiful and comes from a wealthy family. No wonder so many guys had a crush on her.""I heard Ralph is insanely jealous.""Oh right, Justin, how have you been lately?"It wa

At the time, Simone's attention was on comforting Ralph. She never noticed that I wasn't wearing my hearing aid at all that day.I heard from mutual friends that she had been asking around for me.That didn't surprise me in the slightest.Maybe she'd finally learned that my hearing had been fixed and belatedly realized that I'd already heard every cutting word she said that day in the private room.But none of that mattered anymore.My days in Juville were full and busy. Even though military training wore me out like crazy and left me sunburned in places, I'd never felt this free or light before.I joined several clubs and made a lot of new friends. I even went to a few mixers hosted by the upperclassmen and added some people to my contacts.When I saw that familiar figure standing downstairs outside the men's dorm, I was genuinely caught off guard. I planned to take a detour and leave.But Simone spotted me first and walked over, her steps quick.Her tone carried a hint of pl

Simone went on. "If you keep ignoring me, believe it or not, I'll take Ralph overseas for a trip."I ignored it and blocked her again.As the start of the semester drew closer, I got on a plane and flew straight to Juville.…Meanwhile, Simone had nervously showed up at my house and knocked on the door. She was holding two handmade knitted dolls, one blue and one pink, just the way she pictured us.Thinking about how surprised I would look when I saw them, she couldn't wait any longer.But when the door opened, I wasn't there. She asked instinctively, "Mr. and Mrs Gale, is Justin home? We haven't seen each other all summer. I brought him a gift."And college is about to start. I'm going with him."My mom's expression was calm, her tone flat. "Oh, we forgot to tell you, Sim. Justin has already gone to college. You won't be going with him."Simone paused for a moment, then decided I was probably just still upset. She turned to leave, but my dad stopped her, giving her a quick wa

At that, my parents smiled right away. "He went out of town for treatment, and his hearing's fully recovered now."Amelia was overjoyed, but she still wasn't ready to give up. "Justin, why don't you wait until Sim gets back before deciding? She has a right to know, too."When you were little, you followed her around every day. You even saved her life. How could those feelings just disappear?"I lowered my gaze to the coffee table, watching the tea ripple faintly in the cup."Mrs. Scott, neither of us loves the other anymore. There's no point dragging this out and hurting each other."Lucas let out a long sigh. He clearly understood our family's stance. He stopped Amelia from continuing and instructed the housekeeper to bring out the old engagement papers from years ago.Watching both copies get torn up, burned, and reduced to ashes, I finally felt like I could breathe again.I made one last request. "Amelia, Lucas, please don't tell anyone about this yet. Let's deal with it slow

Simone spoke. "What did you just say?"She stared at me in disbelief, and her face went pale. "When did that happen? Why didn't you tell me?"I smiled, my eyes cold and distant."Does it even matter? You've been doing all those things, assuming I couldn't hear. You know damn well what's going on."Simone clenched her fists, frozen where she stood and completely speechless.Ralph's expression flickered, jealousy flashing across his face. He said bluntly, accusing me, "Wow, Justin, I didn't realize you were such a good actor. Everyone knows your hearing loss is permanent. It's not something that just magically fixes itself.After that, he exaggeratedly widened his eyes, pretending to be shocked. "You don't seriously think that just because you're not disabled anymore, Sim's going to suddenly fall for you and treat you like some prince, do you?"He clicked his tongue. "I didn't think you'd stoop this low, Justin. Sim, you shouldn't fall for this."Simone's eyes lit up instantly. T
