Lahat ng Kabanata ng Too Late to Regret: Kabanata 191 - Kabanata 200

The bedroom was just a wall away from the guest room.Her heart slowly chilled.It felt like the light that had been slowly dragged down by the darkness, as though being pulled beyond the horizon—everything extinguished…Candice finished her shower and lay on the bed, ready to sleep.She closed her eyes, trying to regulate her breathing. But as she drifted off, thoughts of a certain man slowly began to invade her mind—until they completely occupied her thoughts and even her breath.She became frustrated and turned to her side, warning herself not to think about him anymore! Tomorrow, she would change her motto to Iron-heart!That's right!He was just a man who looked good, smelled nice, and had been pampering her for a few nights! She would never let herself get tangled up over him!Sleep!She hugged a pillow, adjusted herself into the most comfortable position, and finally fell asleep.48 minutes later...The bed vibrated.The still woman on the bed suddenly sat up straight without a

A deep, cold voice rang out with an unquestionable authority.Candice and Jessica both turned their heads simultaneously.At the open office door stood Charlie, his face devoid of expression, his presence emanating an invisible pressure.He looked distinctly displeased—as if someone had dared enter his floor without his permission.Behind him, Jerry wore the awkward smile of a peacekeeping envoy, trying to save this nerve-wracking hellscape… though it was obviously futile.“Oh, I didn’t know Candice had a lunch meeting,”Jessica responded quickly, adapting in an instant.Then added with a gentle smile, “Candice, you should’ve told me earlier. If I’d known you had plans, I wouldn’t have come to bother you.”Candice was so amused she nearly laughed out loud.Oh, please. Would you two gods just give me a heads-up next time?She smiled without saying a word&

Charlie finally couldn’t hold it in anymore.Regardless of how much force he used, he yanked Jessica off Candice and shoved her down into a chair. His voice thundered with fury:“Look at yourself! What do you think you look like right now?”Perhaps Jessica also realized how irrational and embarrassing she had been.She felt utterly humiliated.Covering her face with both hands, she dared not lift her head and let him see what a mess she’d become.Candice, meanwhile, was calmly wiping the tears and snot off her expensive dress.She glanced over at Charlie, watching him scold Jessica, his expression seething with visible anger.Most of the time, he was composed, cool-headed, restrained. Even when he wasn’t in a good mood, he rarely lost his temper. He gave people the impression he was always in control—his emotions never betraying his thoughts.But this Jessica…From Singap

It all happened so suddenly.Even among seasoned schemers and fierce brawlers who fly off the handle at the slightest insult, no one would actually push someone down the escalator over a few petty words.That was just too reckless—completely disregarding the consequences.Fortunately, Candice had been on high alert the moment Gabrielle raised her hand.She subtly shifted her body just as the hand swung over, dodging it.Gabrielle’s hand missed, and due to the momentum, she lost her balance and stumbled forward.“Ah—!”A shriek pierced the air.Denise reached out to grab her daughter's arm. At the same time, she instinctively grabbed the stunned Jessica, using her as leverage.But Jessica was thin and lacked strength. The sudden yank frightened her too—she screamed as well.Seeing the two women above her teetering on the edge, likely to fall and take others with them, Candice had

Beatrice's face turned pale.These two options—she didn’t want to choose either!“I’ll give you ten minutes to consider,” Charlie said politely, tone impeccably courteous, yet his cold eyes were like those of a stern examiner holding a ticking stopwatch.“If you can’t decide, I’ll choose for you.”“You—! You’re forcing me!” Beatrice snapped, furious.“Dearest mother, one must be reasonable. Allow me to lay it out for you:When I said I didn’t want Jessica to return, you personally guaranteed she wouldn’t cause trouble or bully my girlfriend. You said her return was long decided.I trusted you and didn’t stop you. Correct?” Charlie’s voice was calm and slow.“…Mm.” Beatrice could only nod.“Good. I gave you trust and respect. Out of caution, I also made it clear:If she stirs up
