Reborn Wife Regrets Choosing the Tycoon Chapter 10
I could tolerate being insulted, but I would never allow anyone to humiliate Rose.My whole body trembled with rage. I pointed at Riley and snapped, "So what if she's 12 years older than me? She loves me. Truly. You and I might have the same age and background, and we grew up together, but does that automatically make us compatible? Did you forget what you did to me and my parents in our previous life? "Riley, we were given a second chance. We should be correcting what we ruined before. You knew your parents were evading taxes. Instead of stopping them, you let them be. Do you really think you have no responsibility for what happened today?"I took a deep breath, forcing the rest out. "This is the last time I'll say it. The Jared who loved you died in our previous life. He's gone and will never return. I'm asking you—no, warning you. Stay out of my life!"I had never spoken to Riley that harshly before. Perhaps my words finally struck a chord, or perhaps she truly felt regret. T

Hope flickered in Riley's eyes. "Thank goodness, Jared. I knew you still cared about me. I knew you wouldn't just leave me like this. Please talk to Benjamin for me. Tell him not to be angry anymore. Ask him to help my parents."You're his aunt's husband. He'll definitely listen to you. The Prescotts are powerful, aren't they? They must have a way to save my mom and dad."I looked at her coldly and said, "Benjamin is getting married."Riley froze. "Married?"I nodded. "Yes. They've just arranged it. It's a strategic match."She shook her head wildly, refusing to believe it. "No. That's impossible. Benjamin is only angry because I upset his aunt. Rose is your wife, isn't she? She listens to you. Please tell her not to hold a grudge against me. Once Benjamin cools off, he won't marry anyone else."She clung to my arm like she had found the only lifeline she had left. Tears streamed down her pale face.If I had been the man I once was, I would have risked everything for her in a he

It was hard to believe how quickly Benjamin found a new fiancee.Rose leaned closer and whispered, "I explained what happened at the engagement party to David, and he immediately decided to arrange a match. Normally, the Prescotts don't need alliances through marriage, but this woman is refined, graceful, and beautiful. Both David and I really like her."I watched Benjamin fuss over the young woman—pouring her water and peeling fruit for her—and couldn't help but nod thoughtfully.Rose continued, "You've probably noticed that they're actually quite close. Even though Ben was with Riley all these years, he was also involved with this woman. I only just found out when we got back."David warned him about cutting off his finances, so he dumped Riley and agreed to the match right away. Both women liked him, so the switch wasn't hard for him. Honestly, how many wealthy heirs would risk their privileged lives for love? This isn't a romance novel."I wasn't shocked. I had guessed as much

Riley met Rose's cold, indifferent gaze and couldn't help lowering her head."Ms. Prescott, can I speak with Mr. Langley alone?" she asked.Rose stepped back to give us space, but I held her arm. "Sorry," I said. "There's nothing for us to talk about."Riley refused to give up and grabbed my arm again. "Jared, we're childhood friends. Can't you at least say something for me?"I kept my expression hard and pulled my arm free. "Haven't I done more than enough for you? Riley, we ended things five years ago. Don't go around using 'childhood friends' as an excuse."I placed my arm around Rose's shoulder and opened the passenger-side door for her, carefully closing it behind her. Then I stepped on the gas and drove straight home.We left so fast that I didn't hear what Riley shouted behind us. I only caught sight of her standing there, glaring venomously until we disappeared from view.Rose and I had spent the past five years working abroad, so trips home were rare. Whenever we return

Gasps of disbelief rippled through the room."Canceled? Just like that?" someone exclaimed. "Riley's dream of marrying rich is probably over!""Of course. Families like the Prescotts are strict and proper. Didn't you see how Riley kept forcing that gentle act just now? Back in school, she wasn't like this at all. She was full of herself."Riley shot them a cold glare.They snorted derisively."What are you glaring at? We all graduated from Eldridge University, and every one of us has made a name for ourselves. Without the Prescott name, who's going to cater to you?""From what I see, Benjamin's been living off the family fortune without doing anything himself. How else could he not even decide his own engagement?""Only Mr. Langley, who built everything himself, can stand on equal footing with Ms. Prescott. That's real capability right there."They flattered and clustered around me."Mr. Langley, I heard your company started out in construction materials. Our family's in the s

Benjamin froze. "Aunt Rosie, are you saying Jared is your secret husband?""That's impossible!" Riley cried in disbelief. "How could the Langleys even compare to the Prescotts…"Rose slapped Riley across the other cheek. "Riley, this isn't your place to speak. I know you and Jared grew up together, and that you almost got married, but now Jared is my husband. "I'm letting this go for Ben's sake. But if you insult Jared again, or call him by his name so disrespectfully, don't blame me for what happens next."Riley's eyes welled up with tears, but she could only bite down her emotions and step silently to the side.Rose crouched beside me and helped me back to my seat. "Darling, we agreed to wait until my meeting was over to fly back together on the private jet. Why did you have to come back early? "The layovers must have exhausted you, and on top of that, you had to deal with these idiots spreading lies!"She clenched her teeth when she said "idiots", as if she might tear the
