Reborn: I Give My Husband Back to His True Love のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 71 - チャプター 80

Sydney“Please help.” I breathed, tears running down my cheeks. “Joseph Carter. My father. He…he was brought in…heart attack…please…help…I need to see him…please…I…”“Slow down, honey.” She leaned forward. “Joseph Carter. Are you family?”I nodded, wiping my cheeks. “Ye…yeah. I’m his daughter. Sydney Stanley. He…he came in… my husband said it was a heart attack…that…that he collapsed at the office…” The words tumbled out, more tears running down my cheeks. “I need to know if….if he’s…” The word choked and I clutched my throat, sobbing.Clara nodded typing at her computer. I wanted to scream. How could she be so calm? My father was freaking dying!“Joseph Carter,” She read, not glancing at me. “Admitted thirty minutes ago. Suspected cardiac event.” Her eyes flicked up at me. “He’s in surgery right now. Operating Room Three. They’re doing an emergency cardiac catheterisation.”I bit my lower lip, nodding. “Can…can I see him?” I choked. “Please. I need to see…”“You can’t see him while h

BryceHe went very still. “I know you’re the one putting those stupid ideas in Sydney’s head and I need to remind you that she’s my wife.” His voice was tight. “And you need to stay the fuck away from her. She’s confused right now and stressed about her father and you’re taking advantage of her and I won’t let you…”“You won’t let me what?” I snapped. “Care about your wife and see her as a human being rather than a tool to steal from her father’s company as you did with Natasha?”His eyes flashed and for a split second, he looked genuinely afraid. “You’re delusional and coming up with these insane theories because you want…”“I couldn’t keep Nat safe but I want Sydney safe!” I cut in. “I want Joseph alive and I want your ass in prison for what you’ve done but even if I can’t get the first two I’ll ensure I get the last one!”He narrowed his eyes at me heaving. It was taking every shred of restraint not to tell him I knew about his mistress and the sham of an orphanage and his fraud wi

SydneyIn my first life, I had come with some sort of speech because I just wanted to honour Dad. I didn’t even have a speech this time. What was the point when I would be staring at his murderer the entire time and I couldn’t even stab him?Eric sat down beside me and I bolted up almost instantly ignoring the looks I was getting. My legs were shaking and my hands trembled a little as I reached for the podium.There were just too many people. I glanced at the casket and the world suddenly went blurry no thanks to my tears.“My father…” I started and stopped, my throat tightening. I cleared my throat. “My Dad was the best man I’ve ever known….” I blinked back more tears, my hands clenching the podium so tight my knuckles were turning white.“He wasn’t perfect. He worked too much but he was such a huge part of my life and he loved me and loved everyone with his whole heart. His plan for Prestige Global was to build a legacy. He was…” My voice cracked and I looked away, trying to pull my

SydneyI pushed my legs further beneath my bum and let out another sigh, picking up the pictures. I’ve probably been staring at them for hours. Not like I still had any concept of time left. I tugged at the neckline of my sweatshirt, blinking back tears. There was no point in crying anymore. All the tears in the world would not bring back my Dad. The least I could do was stop Eric before he killed me too. I stared at the files spread across the hardwood floor. The bank statements showing transfers to K&E Holdings, his offshore account in the Cayman Islands. Two years worth of transfers that corresponded exactly with the inflated project transfers that Victor had found. Not that it was enough to prove that Eric was behind it but it was enough to prove that the money was also going somewhere it shouldn’t. I also had the copies of the forged approval documents and the analysis reports Webb had given me. I had almost a hundred documents of approved budgets and altered transfers. Then th

BryceMy secretary’s voice came through the speaker “Mr. Westin, so sorry to interrupt but there’s a woman here to see you. She doesn’t have an appointment but she says it’s urgent?”I frowned, glancing at my schedule. I knew it was empty. I had told my EA to clear it because it wasn’t like I could focus on meetings. “Who is it?”“She says her name is Celine Davenport? She’s…” she paused. “She says she’s Mrs Stanley….” She paused again. “Sydney’s friend. She said she wants to speak to you about Sydney and it’s urgent.”My hand tightened on the phone. “I don’t know anyone with…” I trailed off my mind racing. Why would anyone who was Sydney’s friend be here? Unless something was wrong. Unless…“She requested that I tell you that if you care about Sydney at all, you’ll see her.”Damn it. What the hell was I even going to do if something was wrong with her? Maybe I should have asked Darien to monitor her anyway. It was stupid to just give up on her that easily. I couldn’t say no now and
