All Chapters of I wish it were you: Chapter 1691 - Chapter 1700

Damien’s words didn’t scare Colten, nor would they ever.If Damien truly wanted to kill him, he might have succeeded long ago. But Damien was never content with letting him die quickly; he enjoyed tormenting his prey like a cat playing with a mouse. He wanted to make him live in fear, to make sure he died in agony, only then would he feel satisfied.Recently, Colten often wondered why Damien had become so psychologically twisted, so cruel and cold. Was it because he had to watch the woman he loved marry another man?If that was the case, then the wronged party should be Colten, not those around him. Why be so cold-hearted toward everyone? He had sacrificed the happiness of his own children, using them as mere tools to expand his power. He beat his wife and was even more brutal to his subordinates.How much pain must a person endure to derive such pleasure from torturing others?As he aged, Colten’s mindset had gradually changed. H

Their wedding date was set for the end of the year, and Damien didn’t have much time left to prepare.To quickly become rich, he thought about many different ways, weighing all the options.But the safer options were too slow, and in order to make money fast, he knew he had to take risks.As the saying goes, "Fortune favors the bold, while the timid starve."He kept repeating this to himself in his mind, encouraging himself to take the plunge. Eventually, he decided to take the risk.He contacted a man he had met during his travels.This man was in his forties, a burly guy with a beard, his eyes wide with a menacing glare that made you sweat when he looked at you. He had joined their group midway during their trip to the desert.During their journey, Damien noticed that the man had injured his leg, and the wound seemed to have been carelessly bandaged. It wasn’t properly treated, and the wound had started to fester.

The cruise ship returned to port that day.After landing, Colten followed the request in Damien’s will and personally contacted his children, Aron and Isabel, to inform them of their father's passing. He briefly explained the situation over the phone.Aron was honeymooning on a small island in the Atlantic, while Isabel was in the North City. As soon as they received the news, both of them rushed back immediately.Isabel and her husband, Rial, arrived at Colten’s residence that same day.After reading the will, Isabel learned that there was another letter addressed to Aron. She then asked Colten if there was a letter for her as well.Colten shook his head.A hint of disappointment flickered across Isabel's face, but she quickly wiped away her tears and took out her phone to contact a helicopter for a search mission to look for her father's lifeboat.Rial urged her not to rush. He explained that since her father had chosen

According to the will, all of Damien's companies were to be inherited by Isabel. His personal savings, real estate, art collections, vehicles, yachts, private jets, and three art galleries were to be inherited by Aron.At the end of the will, Damien wrote the reasons for his distribution:"… Isabel and Aron are both people who are indifferent to fame and fortune. I don’t think they will be unhappy with my distribution, but I still need to explain it a little."This inheritance division takes into account that Isabel and Aron have different personalities and excel at different things. It was the final decision I made."Isabel is good at management and has a business mind. In both character and ability, in my heart, she surpasses many men. I have always been proud to have such a daughter. So, I am at ease handing over the group I spent my life building to her."After taking over the company, Isabel can discard my previous approach and fo

"When did you arrive?" Sylvia stared at his eyes, her voice tense."Just came up," Colten said calmly, walking up to Lily’s tombstone. "I originally planned to come tomorrow, but the old lady was worried about you being alone on the mountain, so she asked me to come get you."Her gaze relaxed, as if the danger had passed. She shifted her eyes away and said, "What could possibly happen in broad daylight? My mom just worries too much."Colten quietly stood in front of the tombstone, staring at Lily’s photo.Though his eyes were fixed on it, it seemed like he wasn’t really seeing anything. His mind was filled with a swirl of emotions.The sadness or nostalgia he had expected to feel at this moment was replaced by a tangle of questions.Sylvia had automatically moved two meters behind him, as if she didn’t want to stand together at the tombstone.Was she feeling guilty towards her sister?Colten wanted to ask, but he stopped himself again.He closed his eyes for a moment and then said to
