The Goodbye he regretted CHAPTER 253
The next morning, Damien dropped his work when he heard about Richard’s car accident. Worried, he rushed to the hospital as fast as he could.Richard lay flat in bed in a VIP ward with a back and neck brace. He opened his mouth as his secretary fed him a sliced apple.He looked like a pampered child who could not do anything for himself, and his secretary was the maid bearing the brunt of his demands.Damien walked into the room and furrowed his brows at him. “Didn’t the Hoffman Group recently develop an oilfield? You’re acting like you’re dry even before you hit 30.”The secretary stepped aside and nodded at the man before giving Richard and Damien space to talk.“Holy shit! Are you here to visit me or give me hell? How am I acting dry? I wouldn’t need help if I could feed myself.”Richard broke out in a sweat and grimaced in pain the moment he leaned over.“Don’t move. Just stay there.”Damien took quick steps to the bed with a long face and laid him back down.“Will you wheel me ar
The Goodbye he regretted CHAPTER 252
That was a load of hot air. Zoe could not possibly acquire a jewelry piece that even an avid collector like Xin Wang had no access to. Though stunned by Zoe’s behavior, Kylie flattered her, “Wow, you’re amazing, Zoe! If you can get your hands on Alexa’s jewelry, I’m sure Xin will come back to us. We can get even with Maureen, help Damien, and, while doing so, improve his perception of you. You’ll be Vance Corporation’s hero, and Damien will be drawn closer to you.” Zoe smiled smugly and uttered, “So we should steal the case from Maureen.” While Kylie echoed Zoe’s sentiment, she had other thoughts in mind. Kylie did not want to help Damien, as they were not from the same mother. However, it was a chance to shine. If she ran the planning instead of Damien, she could show her dad that she was capable and make him proud, restoring her mother’s recent declining standing. Zoe was only a tool to get a leg up. With that in mind, Kylie was thrilled, her eyes gleaming with desire and h
The Goodbye he regretted CHAPTER 251
“What did I tell you, Mom? I told you they were more than friends. Lily is trying to get in my way!” Kylie complained. Kylie was jealous because Richard dressed Lily in a fancy red gown. Even without makeup, Lily glowed. To make matters worse, Lily’s evening gown sported the same burgundy color as Richard’s tuxedo, making them appear to be a perfect match. Under the spotlight, they stood alongside each other like newlyweds. All eyes were on them. Kylie found her purple gown to be a painful joke. The color would never go well with burgundy. “I gave birth to Lily. I know the type of person she is.” Diana had a deeper perspective that extended beyond Kylie’s surface-level understanding. “Lily might be 22 years old, but she has the mind of a 12-year-old. She lacks the capacity to date a man, let alone steal your man.” While Diana’s comment was comforting, Kylie still found herself furious. “I think you have bigger problems on your plate than you realize. Richard has never show

Richard booked a presidential suite at the hotel and instructed his female secretary to swiftly purchase a discreet evening gown for Lily to change into as soon as possible. As Lily entered the room to change, he remained seated on the sofa, crossing his legs and tapping on his knee. If he had opted for a black suit for the evening, he might have resembled a groom patiently awaiting his bride to try on wedding dresses. Before long, the door opened. The secretary warmly smiled as Lily shyly emerged from the room. “Mr. Hoffman, Ms. Vance is ready.” Richard lazily turned his head and observed Lily approaching him hesitantly, elegantly dressed in a wine-red lace evening gown. Her eyes sparkled with innocence, subtly tinged with a hint of confusion. He was momentarily taken aback, and his gaze subtly deepened. In Richard’s world of extravagance and debauchery, he had encountered a myriad of women, but never before had he beheld eyes so untainted. Richard’s gaze appeared to

Lily’s little face paled as her entire body flew straight into the man’s arms. Richard lowered his eyes, feeling a coolness in his chest. His long lashes trembled slightly. The dampness from her body blended with his warm skin through his thin black shirt. His breath grew heavy as his arms instinctively tightened around her. “Lily?” Richard called to her in a low and hoarse voice. Lily tightly shut her eyes, clutching his smooth lapel and not saying a word. Richard could not help but suppress a chuckle. He softly inquired, “Did I hurt you?” She rested her forehead against his chest and shook her head. A sense of pity welled up in his heart. The two security guards, upon witnessing Richard’s grand arrival, immediately straightened up. They hurriedly bowed respectfully and greeted, “Good evening, Mr. Hoffman!” “What was the meaning of that?” Richard asked in a lazy tone, still holding Lily. “Ah, it’s nothing, just a minor issue.” The security guard, who was previously r

At the ballroom, the banquet proceeded. However, Xin Wang’s departure with Maureen somewhat dampened the guests’ enthusiasm. Initially, Zoe had dressed extravagantly to showcase her talents in front of an international superstar. Now, with Xin gone, she had no stage to perform on, and all her preparations were in vain. ‘This is all Maureen’s fault!’ Zoe thought. Outside the banquet hall, Damien stood by the French windows, an icy aura emanating from him like a frozen sculpture. He stared intensely in the direction the Rolls-Royce departed. Breathing heavily, his fists clenched tightly in the shadows. “Mr. Vance, I hate to say it, but it seems like we have been outplayed by Ms. Ashford,” Lucas said cautiously as he wiped the sweat from his brow. “The trending topics now are all about Ashford Group. Plus, the news of Ms. Ashford taking Xin Wang away has already spread. Even the chairman knows about it.” “Now, everyone is questioning the Vance Hotel, saying we should not have

The question hung in the air between them, heavier than anything Richard had said so far.Maureen forgot how to breathe for a second. She had known this moment was coming the instant her father started flipping through the report. She'd known he would find the name eventually. She just hadn't expec

Damien barely slept. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw the same scene: the private café, the birthday display, Michael Ashford standing beside Selene. No, beside his ex-wife. The image irritated him more than he cared to admit, and it made no sense, because none of this should have mattered to

The moment the black Escalade rolled through the towering iron gates of the Ashford estate, Maureen felt her chest tighten. She had been gone for three long years.The familiar fountain stood proudly in the center of the circular driveway, illuminated by soft lights. Beyond it stretched the grand m

"Mrs. Vance, are you sure your husband didn't come with you today?"Selene looked up from across the doctor's desk and offered a small smile. "I came straight from the office. Damien is busy."The doctor shook his head with a chuckle as he flipped through her file. "Busy or not, I have a feeling he
