Semua Bab The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye: Bab 261 - Bab 270

Seeing the panic in Aria’s eyes, Chad felt a swell of triumph.The signature on the photo, supposedly Kane’s, was real.Chad had a contact inside ATTA who got him an authentic sample, which he then doctored onto the picture. His only goal was to convince Aria that Kane was a monster.“Do you believe me now, Aria?” Chad reveled in her distress. “I didn’t lie to you. It’s all real.”“You put so much faith in Kane, but look now,” he said, spreading his hands wide. “You can see for yourself, he’s a total fraud!”Aria stayed silent, her eyes glued to the photos.She tried to find a single flaw, a hint of a forgery, but she couldn't. All she could do was confirm that the signature was, in fact, Kane’s.A wave of unease washed over her. She wanted to believe Kane was innocent, but the proof right in front of her was overwhelming.Torn and conflicted, she made a decision: she had to tell Kane about this as soon as possible, no matter if it was real or a setup. He needed to be prepared.“Aria,

Homer’s words made Caleb’s face darken.He was right. Given Chad's personality—his refusal to give up on Aria and his desire to make trouble for Kane—it was highly likely that if Kane got into trouble, Chad would try to take Aria away. Whether Aria would go with him or not, Chad’s intention alone would lead him to act, and Aria would be caught in the middle."Damn it! That guy is nothing but trouble!" Caleb slammed his fist on the table, his face a mask of fury. “Aria loves Kane. Chad won't be able to take her, but I’m worried he'll try something dirty.”After a moment of contemplation, Caleb made a decision. “Homer, keep a close eye on Chad. Don't let him see you.”“I’ll do my best,” Homer said, his tone serious but without full conviction.Caleb knew he was asking a lot, but Homer was the only one who could protect Aria right now. “If you see Chad threaten her, stall him and call me or the police. Just don’t let him hurt her. Understood?” Caleb insisted.Homer nodded. After hearing

Aria waited until after ten, but Kane never came back. She felt dizzy and was starting to feel cold.When she touched her forehead, she realized she had a fever.She glanced at the clock and instinctively reached for her phone to call Kane, but then she remembered their fight and stopped herself.The cold medicine in her cabinet was gone. Aria tried to tough it out, but she felt worse and worse. She finally put on a jacket and went to a nearby hospital.The emergency room was empty at eleven o’clock at night. The place felt eerie and empty.The on-call doctor was on rounds, so a nurse stayed with her.“100.40°F,” the nurse said, shaking the thermometer. “Any coughing or sore throat?”Aria shook her head. “No cough or sore throat. It just came on suddenly.”“Are you married?” the nurse asked. “Are your periods regular?”Aria was taken aback.Did a fever have anything to do with her period? She answered anyway. “They’ve never been very regular. This time, it’s been a few days late.”Sin

When Kane entered the room, Fanny was peeling an apple for Natalie. Natalie saw him and waved him over.“Does your head still hurt? You’re such a child, you can’t even take care of yourself.”Kane pulled a chair up to the bed. Fanny handed him a cup of honey water. “Your mother knew you were hungover, so she asked me to make this. It’s the perfect temperature now.”Kane nodded and drank the whole thing.“Did you see the doctor? What did the report say? When can I get out of here?” Despite being in a private hospital, it was still a hospital.Natalie was ready to go home. More importantly, only Fanny and Kane could see her, and she felt like a prisoner.Seeing her so impatient, Kane smiled. “You can get discharged, but you have to promise me something.”“What is it?” Natalie asked, blinking.Aria and Fanny exchanged glances, enjoying the rare sight of Natalie being put on the spot.“Don’t be so quick to get upset. You have to keep a good attitude. I want you to be happy every day,” he

In the study, Natalie and Jeff sat facing each other.“Jeff, did you bring the information I asked for?” Natalie asked, taking a sip of juice.Jeff handed her a manila envelope. “madam, this is all I could find for now.”Natalie’s hand rested on the envelope, but she didn’t open it. “Tell me what you found,” she said, raising an eyebrow.“The only woman the young master is with right now is this Aria,” Jeff said, looking at the envelope. “Her name is Aria. Her parents aren’t in good health, and before she met the young master, she worked as a bartender.”“A bartender! The kind who flirts with men at clubs?” Natalie’s eyes widened.She knew Aria’s background wasn’t great, but she didn’t think it was this bad.Jeff nodded, even though Natalie’s words were a broad generalization. “But she’s not like those other women. She also…” He wanted to defend Aria.But Natalie wasn’t listening.“I don’t know what Kane sees in her!” she said, rubbing her forehead. “This is horrible. That woman must
