Semua Bab Who's the One Regretting Now?: Bab 481 - Bab 490

The message Nathan had received then was from the legal team, asking whether he wanted to appear in court on Edward's behalf tomorrow.Nathan froze when he read it. He recalled what Nolan had overheard Edward say. It was something about securing a project tomorrow, and not being able to accept failure after having failed the last time.Nathan wondered if Edward was actually referring to this matter instead."Mr. Levy, what's wrong?" Nolan asked, puzzled by his sudden pause."No. It's nothing…" Nathan quickly replied. "I just remembered. That file was discarded after the first round of talks failed, and I had shoved it into a far corner. I didn't notice it at first."His brain was working at full speed as he came up with a reasonable explanation."It's a small project. Mr. Fowler Senior doesn't know about it because it didn't require his involvement. It was supposed to be shelved, but then Mr. Fowler was hospitalized. Now he wants to give it another shot. He's determined to acquir

"It's an old, well-established restaurant. It's been around for years," Elias said, trying to make conversation. "I'm not sure if it's your kind of place.""Anything's fine. I'm not a picky eater," Sharon replied softly.Out of the corner of his eye, Elias noticed her sitting upright in the passenger seat, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. It wasn't a tense, reserved posture.She hadn't let him pick her up from work either, opting instead to meet elsewhere. It was another clear sign that she still didn't fully trust him.Elias sighed inwardly. He knew that it would take time. He couldn't rush this.When he and Sharon arrived at the restaurant, they got out of the car and were led inside by a server.The restaurant's interior exuded classical charm and elegant design. Sharon couldn't help but take a few extra glances.The place was clearly a high-end establishment. She could tell from looking at the other well-dressed patrons who wore watches that easily cost seven figures.

Elias didn't choose to follow Sharon. He respected her thoughts and decisions and gave her the personal space she deserved.Not far off, Sharon saw everything through the cab's rearview mirror. The smile on her face widened, and her eyes filled with unwavering confidence.Only when the cab disappeared completely did Elias finally lower his gaze to check the time on his watch. He would soon receive the DNA test results.That afternoon, as the workday resumed, Elias reviewed a document Edmund had sent him. It listed old acquaintances who had ties with the family, including those they had already reconnected with.At the top of the list was the Fowler family, followed by Hart Group, Zenton Holdings, and other prominent names.Edmund had even included a breakdown of which individuals currently held power in each of these families. For those no longer under the leadership of the older generation, the document detailed whom Elias would need to connect with among the younger members of t

Elias froze completely when he heard the DNA test result.Even though he had expected it and was certain Sharon was his sister, hearing the scientific confirmation still sent a jolt through him. His fingers trembled, and his heart rate spiked.He stood there in a daze for several seconds before he finally regained his senses. His body was tense, lips pressed tight, and his eyes shimmered with the threat of tears.Two decades. 20 years had passed, and now, he had finally found his sister.It felt like a miracle born of pure chance, as if the fates themselves couldn't bear to watch their family stay separated any longer. It was as though that was why his return to the country had led him to her so quickly and effortlessly.After hanging up with Mitch, Elias took a moment to calm the overwhelming surge of emotions. Then, he called Sharon.During those few seconds while waiting for her to pick up, the joy and excitement that had filled him began to give way to worry and fear.Even t

Naturally, Mitch wouldn't say anything to Elias' parents ahead of time. It would only be a true surprise if Elias shared the news himself.He had been standing outside the office for nearly 20 minutes before Elias finally ended the call. Mitch knocked and entered.Inside, Elias sat upright in his chair and wiped his face with a tissue.Although he had resumed his usual stern and formal expression, the joy on his face hadn't faded.He looked at the report Mitch handed over, then raised his head and said, "Head over to Sunlit Hearthstead Orphanage and pull the file on my sister, Sharon Emerson."Mitch acknowledged Elias' instruction and left to handle it.Alone in the office once again, Elias stared at the final conclusion on the report, reading it over and over. After finally calming down, he scanned the report and sent a copy to Edmund overseas.The result was conclusive. It was time to let them know the truth—he had found his sister.After sending the scanned report, Elias rea
