All Chapters of Too Late to Regret: Chapter 241 - Chapter 250

As they spoke, his gaze shifted.It landed on Candice’s lips—soft, swaying like candlelight. Those typically cool, peach blossom eyes now seemed to harbor a secret brothel, charming effortlessly like a top courtesan.Candice’s cheeks flushed red.Hey, we're eating!In front of everyone—do you even care about propriety, Mr. CEO?!Could you maybe—just maybe—act a bit more restrained, Charlie?!Jerry, unfortunately caught in the line of fire of Charlie’s gaze, didn’t even dare to lift his head.“Ahem.”Candice fake-coughed strategically and pushed away the hand still hovering dangerously close to her lips. “Bit the wrong thing, sorry.”Then she quickly refocused on gnawing her goose leg.Charlie, still smiling, set down the napkin. “It’s okay. It’s not the first time you’ve bitten the wrong spot.”Candice: “……”Jerry and Jim: “……”The large goose leg slipped from Candice’s fingers. Embarrassed, she wished she had a plate to hide behind.Not the first time… bitten the wrong thing… —those k

Ding-dong—The doorbell rang.Sophia and Margaret both turned toward the front door.“Sophia, didn’t you say this building only has one unit per floor? Not even a cat could sneak in.”“...Uh—”Sophia was honestly at a loss. She got up. “I’ll go check.”As she walked toward the door, she was falling apart inside.Don’t they get tired after a business trip? Don’t they need to adjust from jet lag?Even if all else fails—couldn’t they just hold back a little?!And now—who the heck is at the door?!Do they have any idea how complicated things are right now?!She opened the door with some annoyance—Only to find Jim standing outside.“Jim, it’s you.”“Miss Clarke, you’re here early.”Jim looked a little surprised too.Sophia didn’t invite him in.Instead, she stepped out, pulled him aside, and whispered conspiratorially, “Jim, Candice’s mom is here. Maybe you should come back later.”Because honestly, she had no idea how to explain this mess.Even the boss’s housekeeper could walk in freely—

Candice couldn’t help but laugh and cry at her mother's last words.She clung to her mother, "Of course, I'm a rich young lady. I have such wonderful parents, I'm the richest person in the world, who could be happier than me?"Margaret's heart warmed.She gently stroked her daughter's soft hair, feeling a mix of emotions.Deep down, she didn’t want to return Candice to the Lawrence family, not in a million years.But if her daughter insisted on staying with Charlie, returning her to where she should be might resolve a lot of issues.Then, Margaret thought of Denise. Her mother had always said that the Lawrence family was a den of wolves.What should she do…Margaret was torn.Candice saw the worry in her mother’s eyes and felt even more guilty.Marrying Charlie was impossible.So… should she break up with him?She had always felt that moment would come, but now that it was here, thinking about it left her feeling empty and helpless. It was like a leaf falling in late autumn—no matter w

Charlie remained unfazed.His mother had mentioned this matter in the hospital.With a calm expression, he asked, “So, they still haven’t found her?”If they had found her, this young girl wouldn't be speaking in this tone."No, they really haven’t found her. But they’ve found a bunch of fakes—impostors. Mom’s about to explode. She describes the girl in the green skirt like some kind of celestial being—fair skin, a slim waist, beautiful eyes, and red lips. She makes it sound like she’s the most beautiful woman in the world. I seriously suspect she hasn’t even seen the girl clearly. She’s just gone crazy adding filters because the girl’s a lifesaver.""Big brother, you better watch out. Once they find the girl in the green skirt, you and your girlfriend are going to have trouble.""Mom clearly isn’t just trying to thank the girl, she’s trying to make you repay her."Nicole not only tattled, but also analyzed their mother’s mindset, almost as if she was worried Charlie didn’t understand.

Her heart raced wildly.Everything that had been so relaxed just a moment ago suddenly turned tense.On the TV, the variety show’s celebrity guests were playing a game, their laughter and shouts echoing throughout the room.But on the carpet lay what appeared to be a grim, ominous coffin.Candice sat there, stunned, for a full minute.Then, taking a deep breath, she picked up her phone. Her heart was pounding so violently she felt it vibrating in her throat. With gritted teeth, she turned the screen back on.The image that appeared still sent chills through her.It was a row of severed human heads, lined up on what looked like mushroom-growing racks.Four bloody heads...She had opened the message without any preparation, and the sight of the heads nearly scared her soul out of her body.She considered herself brave, but she wasn’t brave enough to stare at such a horrific scene without feeling terrified.Even after preparing herself, seeing the image again made her back shiver.The hea
