All Chapters of Too Late to Regret: Chapter 471 - Chapter 480

Denise patted his cheek with a motherly air. "Mike is the best boy. Auntie knows you're smart, and you'd never do anything foolish."Mike didn't move.His hand, hanging at his side, slowly clenched into a fist. He returned her a shallow smile.Denise didn't miss the unwillingness in his eyes.This was normal.This was *exactly* how it should be.If he completely submitted now, if he was that easily dealt with, it would seem too fake… Taming a wild wolf cub always took time.She lowered her hand and walked towards a patch of flowerbeds glistening with dew. While fiddling with the delicate pistils, she asked, "I heard you were kidnapped with them? Tell me in detail about your journey to Edward's place. How were you seized by those people? And how were you rescued on that yacht? Tell me all the details again, from your perspective.""Alright."Mike agreed.His tone was calm and his words were organized. He rec

"Go outside and check on Sarah!"James’s face darkened with displeasure as he pulled his hand from her grip, shifting a few inches away to widen the distance between them.The blunt words from his future son-in-law and his daughter had stripped him of every shred of dignity, and a deep-seated revulsion toward Denise began to fester in his chest.Everything had been going perfectly—a picture of a loving father and a dutiful daughter.Candice hadn't held a grudge, Charlie hadn't held a grudge, and Candice had even saved Gabrielle and shown a willingness to mend fences. If Denise hadn't opened her damn mouth, they wouldn't have clashed like this... If this wasn't malicious instigation, what was?Denise’s expression crumbled, looking profoundly wounded.She wanted to play submissive and swallow her pride to smooth things over, but James cold-shouldered her entirely. Realizing her tears were useless, she forced a look of aggriev

The car Charlie was in felt like a freezer. It felt like frost flowers were about to bloom on the windows.Inside sat the enraged and aloof Charlie, the equally chilling Ollie, Candice and Kyle who dared to join them downstairs, and Jerry, who'd been in the car the whole time but now desperately wanted to jump out.Everyone sat in their own space, and the atmosphere, from the hospital to the airport, was absolutely hellish.This oppressive vibe persisted all the way to the airport. Only once they were on the plane did the suffocating cold war somewhat ease.However, Charlie and Candice still barely spoke, and for once, Kyle didn't seize the opportunity to stir up trouble between them.Everyone was quiet.Quiet to the point of... eerie.Bianca had initially thought about telling a joke to lighten the mood, which felt like a mass mourning session in a graveyard, but the words died on her lips.Sophia looked around: She just had a

Charlie's clear, magnetic voice drifted over.The trio: "..."Candice and Jerry turned around.Ollie lifted his gaze."I was talking about you two," Charlie's peach blossom eyes swept coldly over Ollie and Jerry. "Come in with me."Having said that, his gaze shifted to Candice. The chilly glint from a moment ago instantly softened, his voice mellowing by ten degrees. "Don't mind them, go sit and rest in the office."The blatant favoritism was practically blinding.Ollie sneered, a disdainful tug at his lips.Candice felt a little awkward. "I haven't officially resigned yet. I'll go too."Charlie indulged her.Inside the CEO's office, he sat down in his chair and said to Ollie in a business-like manner, "You'll be handing over work with Miss Hale later. If you don't understand anything, ask Jerry. If he can't handle it, then come to me."Ollie disliked his condescending tone.He wanted to lash out, bu

Charlie's eyes flickered.He leaned back, a hint of mockery playing on his lips. "Modern medicine is so advanced, perhaps a miracle could still happen. Tell Uncle Abato not to despair too soon; maybe Gabrielle's fingers might just grow back.""..."Denny picked up the bookend from his desk and hurled it at his son. "How can you still be so flippant, you brat? When you call Uncle Abato later, don't you dare infuriate him like that!"Charlie offered no comment.Downstairs.In a private parlor, accessible only to family, Beatrice held Candice's hand affectionately as they chatted.Nicole and Ollie sat opposite them.Marlene was too swamped to make it back for dinner, so she wasn't present today."I heard from Jim that your mother injured her foot at your grandmother's place. You went back for the weekend, how is she doing?" Beatrice asked."Nothing major, just that she won't be able to put weight on it or move around
