Eden quickly adjusted his tone. "I heard you're negotiating with ACE Group for that resort development. You're aiming to lock down the West Bay project, aren't you?"

Kane nodded slightly. "This project is non-negotiable. I've already counted your team in."

Eden looked puzzled. "What's so special about West Bay?"

"The port," Kane replied simply.

Eden's eyes lit up. "No way. They're building the new port there? Those old guys really kept it under wraps!"

"They think moving in the shadows means no one's watching." Kane let out a small chuckle.

"Is the intel reliable?" Eden frowned slightly.

"Commissioner Lewis from the Land Use Office told me personally," Kane said with a sly glint in his eyes. "I've already seen the approval documents."

So, the port was officially locked in.

Eden broke into a grin. "I knew it—partnering with you always means there's a fat cut of meat on the table!"

"But why ACE Group?" Eden still looked confused.

"Marvin owns land in West Bay." Kane didn't hide anything

  • The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   Stop Investigating

    Baron's words just hung in the air when Eden felt his heart leap up into his throat. Kane looked like he was about to explode, his anger barely contained. Quickly, Eden shot Baron a warning glance, silently signaling him to leave first.But Baron didn't even look at Eden."You go first. I still have things to discuss with Kane," Eden said aloud, trying to get ahead of Kane's orders.Baron glanced at Kane, who nodded, and then he turned and left the office."Kane, calm down!" Once Baron was gone, Eden immediately urged Kane. "This isn't the time to make enemies with Gabriella.""So now I have to be the scapegoat?" Kane raised an eyebrow. In Aria's eyes, he was the one responsible for Elena's injury.Eden knew Kane was still boiling inside. "I think Aria isn't unreasonable. She's angry now, sure, but once she cools down, things between you two will be fine."Kane snorted coldly. He wasn't as naive as Eden thought. He knew Aria better than anyone — she wanted to leave him, and Elena's in

  • The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   Found Out

    Kane's face shifted through a storm of emotions before settling into a dark, grim expression as he looked at Eden."You're saying Gabriella is involved in this," he stated, not as a question but as a grim certainty.Eden nodded. "That day when she said she could support you, I got curious. How was she so sure she could help? So, I did some digging."No matter how much the Jepson family cared for Gabriella, if ATTA truly faced a major crisis, the Jepsons would prioritize self-preservation.Gabriella's confident and assured attitude seemed suspicious, so Eden tracked who she'd been in contact with over the past few years — and found some clues.Following the trail, Eden uncovered Gabriella's behind-the-scenes manipulations."She probably never expected anyone to investigate her, so she didn't bother to clean up the evidence," Eden said, pulling a file folder from his coat and tossing it onto the desk."This is a list of bribes exchanged between her and certain people.""She's a classic

  • The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   Carol Died Last Night

    Elena saw how determined Aria was and didn't push any further. When Garrick arrived, she told Aria to go home and get some rest. Knowing Elena still worried, Aria obediently headed back.On her way home, she called Marvin."How's Auntie?" Marvin asked with concern."She woke up yesterday evening. The doctor said she needs to rest for a while," Aria replied, standing at the bus stop, staring listlessly at the pavement. "I heard what you said— you want me to stay on leave.""Yeah, I figured you're too distracted by your aunt's condition to focus on work, so I just extended your leave until she gets better," Marvin said with a smile. "How are you holding up? Feeling any calmer?""Me? I'm fine, just worried about my mom," Aria said, avoiding the topic of herself. Just then, the bus pulled up. "Thanks, Marvin. The bus is here, so I have to go."The call ended abruptly. Marvin sighed, knowing full well Aria wasn't really fine—she was clearly avoiding something, and whatever it was, it wasn'

  • The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   Just Do As I Say

    Elena smiled quietly to herself. Her eyes were even sharper than Garrick's. The moment Kane arrived at the hospital room, his gaze blatantly flickered toward Aria — she had already noticed the signs earlier.Just as she was about to say something more to Kane, Aria returned from her phone call, so Elena held back.After Aria fed Elena her meal, Elena looked at the food on the table and said, "You can't finish all this alone. Why don't you have dinner with Mr. Wolfe?"Before Aria could respond, Elena turned to Kane. "Mr. Wolfe, you don't mind, do you?""I don't mind at all. I haven't eaten yet and I'm a bit hungry," Kane replied happily, knowing Elena was just worried about him.Aria's expression darkened. When Elena wasn't looking, she shot Kane a fierce glare.Kane kept a calm face but rubbed his stomach with a slight frown.Aria knew he had stomach problems, and seeing him like that, she found it hard to refuse.Seeing Aria soften, Elena waved her off. "You two go eat in the cafeter

  • The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   This Is All My Fault

    Garrick and Aria followed the nurse down the hall to Elena's hospital room. Marvin was about to follow them, but Kane held out his hand to stop him."Aria's parents still think she's working at ATTA," Kane said, locking eyes with Marvin. His meaning was clear.Marvin frowned. "If I wanted to expose her, I would have done it already. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."With that, Marvin shrugged off Kane's hand and tried to catch up.Kane wasn't about to let him go. "If you know, then don't disturb them."Marvin stopped in his tracks and chuckled. "Kane, you're funny. Since when do friends need your permission?""She's my girlfriend," Kane emphasized the word girlfriend.Marvin scoffed. "I seem to remember her saying she wanted to break up with you just now.""Not happening," Kane snapped, shooting Marvin a sharp look. "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. She belongs to me."Marvin just laughed louder. "Since when did you get into my head like that?"Kane said nothing, but his

  • The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye   I'll get revenge for you!

    Aria said what she did but didn't act on it, leaving Kane unable to argue back, yet he still felt wronged."I already made it clear to her, I didn't even..." Kane's words were cut off halfway."I don't want to hear about you and her," Aria said, lowering her head and covering her ears.Angry and anxious, Kane grabbed her hand tightly and pulled, "You're just mad because she hurt your mother? Fine, I'll get revenge for you!"Holding Aria's hand, he took out his phone and called Baron. "No matter what it takes, find Carol before the police do. Break her hands and feet, then hand her over to the cops!"Aria's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Kane. "How can you do that?""That's no different from murder or arson!" Aria struggled, trying to pull her hand free. "Kane, you're so ruthless! Is there anything you wouldn't dare to do?"Marvin disapproved of Kane making such threats in front of Aria. Things like breaking someone's hands and feet should be handled quietly—suddenly lettin
