May We Never Meet Again Chapter 230: A Promise of Justice
The reception at the Dean residence hummed with low voices and the soft clink of cutlery on fine china.Condolences flowed like a steady stream; friends, business partners and close allies came forward to embrace Charlotte, to offer flowers, to murmur the expected words of comfort.Caleb’s absence was a void that all of them tried to fill with assurances: he had been a good man, a loyal friend, a visionary leader. Some shared old memories with trembling smiles.Others simply shook their heads, still unable to believe he was gone.People she had met in industry approached with measured words. Charlotte nodded and smiled at each of them, a practiced smile pulled thin by pain.She accepted the sympathy, the hands on her shoulder, the brief hugs.She kept a private storm.No matter how many people surrounded her, she still felt alone.Every corner of the house reminded her of Caleb.Every familiar face reminded her of what she had lost.The reception hall was full, yet grief isolated her
May We Never Meet Again Chapter 229: The Arrest
The wind was heavy that afternoon, sweeping through the wide expanse of the cemetery with a slow, mournful rhythm.The air smelled of fresh earth and grief.The long stretch of black cars parked along the gravel road testified to how deeply Caleb had been loved, respected and now missed.Hundreds of people filled the open space, dressed in black, their faces weighed down by sorrow.The City Mayor was there, standing beside two past governors, and even a handful of senators who had worked closely with Caleb during his lifetime.Business elites, influential friends, and associates from different corners of the city gathered in solidarity, their solemn whispers blending with the hum of the choir singing softly in the background.The atmosphere was heavy.Every face carried sadness.Every conversation was hushed.Every eye seemed fixed on the white casket resting beneath the funeral canopy.Charlotte stood beside Megan and Nelly, dressed in a black gown that clung to her like the grief it
May We Never Meet Again Chapter 228: Prime Suspect
Nathan’s office felt smaller than ever — like the walls were slowly closing in on him. His steps were quick, restless, as he paced from one end of the room to another.The large office that usually felt imposing and powerful suddenly seemed suffocating. The city skyline stretched beyond the glass walls, but he barely noticed it. His mind was elsewhere.He couldn’t think straight.Every thought that entered his mind clashed with another, creating a chaos only grief and confusion could breed.“Why didn’t you tell me this since, Marcel?” His voice broke through the silence, sharp and accusing.Marcel, who had been standing near the window all along, turned to face him.There was a flicker of guilt in his eyes, his lips parting slightly before the words came. “I’m sorry, Boss. I wanted to tell you, I really did. But you came back from Houston… different. Calmer. Focused. I didn’t want to destroy that peace you’d just found.”“Destroy it?” Nathan repeated, his tone cutting. “This is Char
May We Never Meet Again Chapter 227: Shocking News
It had been two days since Nathan returned from Houston, but to those who knew him well, it already felt like two months.The man who walked into Mills Corp that Monday morning was not the same man who left.The bitterness that once clung to him like a second skin had melted away. His tone, his posture, even the way he greeted the staff, all of it reflected something softer, calmer.When he arrived at the building that morning, the receptionist had almost dropped her pen when he paused to ask about her weekend.The security men at the gate still talked about how he smiled at them and said, “Thank you for your service.”It was strange. This was Nathan Mills — the same man who used to walk through the company halls like a storm cloud, scattering everyone with his temper.Even Marcel was unsettled.“Nathan,” he said that morning in the office, leaning on the edge of the table with a curious stare, “tell me the truth, did you undergo brain surgery in Houston?”Nathan looked up from his f
May We Never Meet Again Chapter 226: The Shattered Birthday
The Cooper mansion glowed that evening — lights glimmering across the long driveway, the soft hum of music drifting from the main hall, and laughter echoing from every corner.It was Megan’s birthday, and Charlotte had made sure everything looked perfect.Guests had begun to arrive, their voices rising above the rhythm of the music.Megan, bright and graceful, was surrounded by her friends, their laughter blending into the cheerful chaos of celebration.But outside, away from the laughter, Charlotte stood by the garden rail, her phone pressed to her ear again. The call went straight to voicemail.Caleb’s number had been unreachable for hours. Her heartbeat grew heavier with each failed attempt.Earlier, she’d called his secretary, the woman had said he left the office around 4 p.m., cheerful, carrying his briefcase as usual. That was the last anyone saw of him.Now it was 6:40 p.m. The party had begun, and still no word from him. The lights, the laughter, the music — none of it seemed
May We Never Meet Again Chapter 225: The Beginning of Redemption
The early morning flight to Houston felt like the longest journey of Nathan’s life. He sat by the window, staring blankly at the clouds, his mind replaying Sophia’s trembling voice over the phone.He couldn’t eat, couldn’t think straight. His fingers tightened around the armrest each time guilt pricked his heart.The cabin was quiet around him. Businessmen typed on laptops, flight attendants moved calmly through the aisle, and a child somewhere behind him laughed softly, unaware of the burdens adults carried.Nathan barely noticed any of it.His thoughts drifted from one disaster to another.The collapse of Mills Corp.Mrs. Okeke walking away.Every memory felt like another stone added to the weight crushing his chest.For years, he had believed he was untouchable.Now everything around him was falling apart.When the plane finally touched down, he wasted no time.A cab was waiting outside the terminal. He forwarded the hospital address Sophia had sent him, and the driver sped off thr
May We Never Meet Again Chapter 36: Too Late to Save
He sat there with Charlotte’s phone cradled in both hands, his thumbs hovering over the screen as though he was afraid that one wrong touch might make everything disappear. The room felt unusually quiet, the kind of silence that rang loudly in the ears. Slowly, deliberately, Nathan opened the phot

Charlotte sat behind her desk in the glass-partitioned office section that separated her from the rest of the design team. The space was small but neat, carefully arranged the way she liked it, everything in its place, nothing excessive or unnecessary. She flipped through the file in front of her,

"Hey, wait!" Johnson stepped forward in panic, his hands stretched out as he tried to block Nathan's path. His voice trembled despite his attempt to sound authoritative, cracking slightly on the last syllable. "Nathan, calm down! Okay? You and Celine just got married. If you kill her, you're going

That night, the black SUV rolled smoothly through the grand iron gates of the Dean family mansion. The car came to a slow halt in front of the entrance, gravel crunching softly beneath its tires.The driver stepped out first and opened the back door. Nathan emerged calmly, adjusting his suit jack
