All Chapters of The Billionaire Regret After My Goodbye: Chapter 761 - Chapter 770

Mona thought about it and realized Cliff had a point. He'd already seen her put her phone in the bag, and now that they were on the plane, there was no way to get it back.They just needed to wait until the flight landed and they picked up their luggage—then she could search for it.With that thought, Mona finally relaxed and settled into her seat, waiting for takeoff.But when the plane landed and they waited at the carousel, their suitcases never appeared.They rushed to ask an airline representative and were told that their luggage had been misplaced.It was only clothes and daily necessities, but Mona's face tightened when she remembered her phone was inside. Her brow furrowed with frustration.Seeing her upset, Cliff sighed inwardly. He'd been wondering what excuse to use to delay the whole phone situation, but he hadn't expected fate to lend a hand—now their luggage was lost."Mona, let's just leave it for now," Cliff said gently. "We'll head back to the village first. Once ever

"What couldn't wait until you came back?" Kane snapped, his brows knitting tight. "Why does everyone insist on making decisions on their own? Do we men even matter anymore?"He had made it clear to Aria that he would handle everything if she could just be patient a little longer. But instead of waiting, she faked her own death and disappeared without a single word, leaving him with nothing but silence.Seeing Kane's rising temper, Frank gave a helpless smile. "If it's about Aria, you'd better ask Caleb. He probably knows more than anyone else."Caleb's feelings for Aria were obvious to anyone with eyes."You think I haven't tried?" Kane's frown deepened. "I questioned him, pressured him, even sent people to follow him. No luck. He swears he doesn't know where she is, and I can't find a shred of proof otherwise. What else can I do?"The first person Kane suspected after Aria's disappearance was Caleb. But Caleb denied everything, and no evidence ever surfaced. Kane had no choice but to

Cliff slept for two full days before finally waking up.When he opened his eyes, a nurse was swapping out his IV.Seeing him stir, she smiled. "Well, look who's finally awake!""W–where... where am I?" Cliff's throat was so dry his voice came out rough and cracked."You're in the hospital. Our director brought you in," the nurse said, giving his shoulder a light pat. "Hang tight, I'll go get the doctor."Director? Frank!The realization jolted Cliff upright in panic. "No—wait! I need to see your director!"The nurse hesitated, then nodded. "Alright, stay put."She hurried out of the room.Cliff lay back against the pillows, every inch of his body aching. Even breathing felt like work.Fragments of memory flashed through his mind, and his chest tightened when he thought of Mona. Fear gnawed at him, sharp and relentless.Before long, he heard footsteps. Frank entered with a doctor at his side."Frank." Cliff locked eyes on him like a lifeline. "Go—go save Mona!"Frank froze at the name,

Frank cupped Mona's face in his hands. Even though her cheeks were smudged with dirt and she looked anything but presentable, his gaze on her was still filled with tenderness.It had been so long since Mona had been looked at this way by Frank that her heart tightened with a mix of nerves and shyness. She couldn't quite put a name to the jumble of emotions inside her.Seeing the faint blush spread across her face, Frank's lips curved, and he slowly leaned closer. Their faces were only inches apart, his lips about to brush hers, when Mona suddenly remembered the state she was in. In a panic, she shoved him away.Her wrists and ankles had been bound tightly by the men who had taken her. Every time the ropes loosened, they had pulled them tighter again. Her skin had been rubbed raw, the wounds layered over one another, making them look even more pitiful.She pushed too hard, forgetting how badly she was injured. The sudden movement tore at her wounds, and pain shot through her, forcing a

Mona squeezed Frank's hand, too choked up to speak.It took her a long moment before her emotions steadied enough to continue."My mom kept it all to herself," Mona said softly, biting her lip. "But when Arnold's men pushed her to the edge, she finally told them the truth—that the treasure was gone.""They didn't believe her, did they?" Frank guessed, his tone low.Mona's expression darkened as she nodded. "Greed makes people blind. They convinced themselves the treasure must still exist. They thought she was lying, so they kept harassing the village again and again."Back then, Mona wasn't living in the village, so she hadn't known. Only when she returned four years ago—just in time to witness Arnold's men causing trouble—did she finally hear the truth from her mother."She said that because she was desperate," Frank said gently, giving her shoulder a reassuring pat before pulling her into his arms. "If they thought she lied, that's no surprise. What matters is—you're still here. You
