Let Bygone Dreams Be Bygones Chapter 8
News of Jessica's imprisonment quickly made headlines across the financial press.Solomon Group was forcibly liquidated. Those who had depended on the Solomon family, including those who mocked me at the wedding, were blacklisted by Everton Financial Group.One after another, their businesses collapsed. Their reputations followed.The city's business landscape was reshaped overnight.As for Chris, the man who had set everything in motion, his fate was even more miserable.Without Jessica's protection, he inherited a mountain of debt that had been shifted onto him before Solomon Group's collapse.Creditors immediately came after him.To avoid them, he fled to a rundown underground bar in the city outskirts and worked as a male escort.Every day, he was forced to endure harassment from all kinds of women. Whenever he resisted, he got beaten up.Two weeks later, I accompanied Katie on an inspection of one of her shopping centers.We had just reached the entrance when a foul-smel

Rain pounded against the gates of Everton Manor. The sound was dull.Jessica had been standing outside in the storm all night.Her clothes were soaked through, and rainwater dripped from her chin, but she remained perfectly upright.She stared at the iron gates without moving. Her voice was hoarse and trembling."Zac, please come out and see me, will you?"Her cries were carried through the rain and into the living room.I sat before the fireplace while holding a cup of coffee Katie had just brewed. Steam blurred my vision."Do you want me to have someone remove her?" Katie wrapped her arms around me from behind. She sounded disgusted.I shook my head and put down my cup."No. Some things need to be cleared up face-to-face."I put on a coat, held up an umbrella, and walked out.The gates slowly opened. The moment Jessica saw me, overwhelming joy filled her face.She staggered forward, only to be stopped by a bodyguard outside.She didn't get angry. Instead, she carefully r

The helicopter touched down smoothly on the helipad of Everton Manor in the suburbs.Katie jumped out first. She then turned around and reached out to me."Welcome home, Mr. Everton," she whispered into my ear. Her breath brushed against my skin.I blushed a little, and my heart skipped a beat. I didn't object to the title.Over the following days, Katie settled me into life at the manor. I received the best medical care and every comfort imaginable.She canceled unnecessary social engagements and returned home early every day to spend time with me. We took walks together and read books together.Even after three years apart, I still felt as close to her as ever. She was still the same woman whose entire world revolved around me.Outside the manor, however, the Solomon family was falling apart.Everton Financial Group's withdrawal triggered a chain reaction. Within three days, Solomon Group's cash flow completely collapsed.Banks demanded repayment, and suppliers came knocking

Shock flashed across Jessica's eyes. Her expression immediately darkened, and her hoarse voice turned deep.Her gaze locked onto Katie's hand resting around my waist. She looked furious.Yet her voice remained as commanding as ever."Stop messing around. Come stand beside me."The two bodyguards behind Katie immediately stepped forward and blocked Jessica's path.Forced to stop, Jessica's wedding gown wrinkled slightly from the abrupt movement.She ignored the bodyguards. Her eyes remained fixed on me through the crowd.It was obvious she was clenching her jaw. There was a possessive look in her eyes."Jessica!" Chris cried out and tried to run forward, but another bodyguard stopped him a few feet away.The ballroom fell completely silent. Every guest held their breath. No one dared make a sound.Katie's reputation was legendary in the business world.The Solomon family might have been considered wealthy locally, but compared to Everton Financial Group, they were insignifica

The next morning at ten o'clock, the tropical sun blazed overhead.The wedding venue was extravagantly luxurious. A towering champagne pyramid reflected dazzling light everywhere.Guests filled the venue. Business elites toasted one another as conversations buzzed through the crowd.I stood at the end of the aisle in a gray groomsman's suit.Soft laughter drifted through the crowd from time to time."Look at that. The groom's wearing a groomsman's suit. That's a first.""Jessica's really playing favorites. She's practically humiliating Zac in public."I ignored every word and looked down at my phone.The last message from Katie had arrived five minutes earlier.[Wait for me. I'm almost there.]Right on schedule, the wedding march began.Chris was in the custom suit he'd destroyed and then hastily stitched back together with gold thread overnight. He stood beneath the floral archway.His eyes were fixed on the entrance and filled with affection.The grand doors slowly opene

She turned around to comfort Chris, who was still pretending to cry, and headed toward the hotel.She left everyone behind to point fingers at me.I ignored every stare before pulling the suit jacket tighter around myself.Then, in full view of everyone present, I removed the jacket still carrying Jessica's warmth and tossed it into a nearby trash can.It was just like how I'd thrown away the shredded remains of my wedding suit the night before.I then turned around and walked back to my room. I locked the door behind me.I retrieved my phone and tapped on the contact with the black profile picture.[Katie, does what you said three years ago still stand?]Less than three seconds later, the typing indicator appeared.[It does. Anytime you want.]I let out a long sigh and sent her the hotel's location.[Tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning. Let's meet on time.]I put down the phone.'Jessica, you love pushing my boundaries to please your precious childhood friend.'In tha
