Evelyn POV

I was walking through a garden I didn't recognise, but somehow felt familiar. The flowers were blooming in colors I'd never seen before—purples that shimmered like starlight, blues that seemed to shift between shades, greens that were impossibly vibrant.

My father was walking beside me, his hand holding mine. He was younger than I remembered him. His face was peaceful, and several times I wanted to ask him how he’d healed so fast that he could walk without pain.

We walked in comfortable silence for a long time, just enjoying each other's presence. Then, as we reached the edge of the garden, my father stopped.

He released my hand and walked a few steps away, his body turning to face the sun. His hands came up behind his back, clasped together, and he just stood there. Staring into the silence.

For the first time, he looked worried.

"Dad," I said softly, moving to stand beside him.

He didn’t reply, but I could feel a sudden heaviness settling in between us.

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 104: The instinct never lies.

    Gabriel POVGut feeling. Instinct.Those were the two traits that separated the mafia bosses who lived long from the ones who died young.The strongest ones—the ones with the biggest empires, the most connections, the territories spanning continents—they all eventually died. Either by assassination, betrayal, or sheer bad luck. But the ones who survived? The ones who lived into old age and died in their beds?They were the cowards. The ones who grovelled to the government. The ones who made deals and compromises. And most importantly, the ones who trusted their gut feelings above everything else.I'd survived this long because I listened to my instincts.And right now, my instincts were screaming at me that something was wrong.For two days, I'd been replaying my conversation with Evelyn over and over in my mind. She'd described the man she'd seen—the one with the tattoos on both arms, the one with the pungent, offensive odour. The way he'd passed her as she was entering the cafe. The

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 103: Recovery and confessions.

    Evelyn POVI laughed, despite the pain it caused. "Did you respond?""I ignored them," Grace said. "But I wasn't sure if that was the right call. They're a major firm. Maybe you wanted to hear them out?""No," I said firmly. "They're scammers, Grace. They target struggling companies, offer investment, and then swoop in to buy them out when they're most vulnerable. I would have told them plainly that Bennett Corporation would never partner with them and they should take their misunderstanding elsewhere. You made the right call ignoring them."Grace nodded, looking relieved."There are a few other things," Grace continued. "We've had several inquiries from other real estate developers wanting to collaborate on future projects. The publicity from your recovery—well, not the accident part, but the fact that you survived and immediately got back to business—has made you something of a media darling. People want to work with you."I shook my head in disbelief. "That's incredible.""It reall

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 102: Recovery and confessions.

    Evelyn POVThe VIP ward room was more comfortable than the ICU had been. I could see the city skyline through the large windows. The room was private, decorated in soft blues and greens. There was a comfortable-looking armchair in the corner, a proper bathroom, and the room was well furnished.I got moved from the ICU yesterday evening after the doctor had confirmed I was healing properly and was out of danger.The doctor had come in this morning with good news."You're making excellent progress, Miss Bennett," he'd said, reviewing my chart. "Your vitals are stable. The internal injuries are healing well. We've run all the necessary tests, and everything is looking positive. No internal bleeding or neurological damage. That alone is remarkable, considering the nature of the accident. The burns you sustained are mild and would disappear in no time, plus they’re in hidden parts of your body so that they won’t affect your self-confidence in the meantime.”I’d sustained burns mostly on my

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 101: The return II

    Evelyn POVI'd gotten my coffee and walked back to my car. Just as I settled in the driver’s seat, the same smell that had wafted up to me inside the café suddenly filled my nose. I'd thought it was strange, and I'd wondered if it was just my brain registering the odour from earlier.Then I'd remember turning the key in the ignition.And the world had exploded.The last thing I remembered was the sound. A loud, deafening sound that had seemed to come from everywhere at once and fire. I'd felt heat. And then... nothing.Everything after that was blank."Someone... tried to kill me?" I asked the doctor, my voice shaking."It appears so," the doctor said gently. "The police are investigating. But for now, all that matters is your recovery. You're going to be okay, Evelyn. You're going to be just fine."The doctor said some other things—something about internal injuries, emergency surgery, and monitoring for complications. But I wasn't really listening. My mind was still trying to process

  • Save it, Mr Arrogant! I Dumped You After Reborn.   Chapter 99: The unraveling plan II

    Isabella POVI leaned back in my chair, a slow smile spreading across my face. "Oh, Damien. We don't need all of that. We need to plant doubts and to make the board question whether Evelyn is really the right person to lead the company.""How do we do that?" Damien asked."We start with the board members," I said, my mind working through the plan. "We find out who they are. We find out what matters to them. We find out what they care about. And then we use that against them.""That's going to be difficult," Damien said cautiously. "The board members are experienced. They're not easily swayed.""Then we need to be creative," I said. "We leak information. We spread rumours. We make sure every board member is aware of the accident. We make sure they question whether Evelyn's presence in the company is bringing misfortune. We make them think that keeping her as CEO is a liability, not an asset."Damien nodded slowly, understanding what I was suggesting. "We need to make them afraid of her
