All Chapters of Too Late to Regret: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

“Ha…”After a long silence, only a faint laugh escaped Candice’s throat.As if she had been rendered speechless from rage.From the other end of the call, Bianca exclaimed, “You’re laughing? How can you laugh at a time like this! The Jackson family whitewashed Mia’s image by dumping all the filth on you—how can you swallow that?”“Bring out the aura you had at the charity gala! Slap their faces hard!”“Go clean up that bunch of bastards!”She was even cursing now.This was the number one socialite in Vanclyn, always poised, sweet, and elegant, speaking in the softest accent.Candice gave a self-deprecating smile. “Aren’t you afraid what she said is true? So much evidence laid out—it’s pretty damning.”“Bullshit!”“I, Bianca, would bet my life that you're not that kind of person, Candice!”“Everyone in our circle knows what a sleazebag Mia is. I used to think Kyle was hot—sexy, handsome, devoted. I even envied you. But ever since he got tangled with that woman, it’s like he fell into a

Charlie’s words in this situation sent chills down everyone’s spines.It was like he had a God’s-eye view—As if he could predict the future.He somehow knew they’d fall out over the marriage talks, and that it would eventually affect the business project.Mike tried to steady his nerves.Was this harshly worded “official reason” a casual excuse to make things difficult—or a sharp, timely act of damage control?If it was the latter… this man was terrifyingly perceptive.Mike turned his head slightly and met Kyle’s gaze from across the room.If the project failed to go forward, both Aureate and they would suffer heavy losses—they were already in the same boat from the day the project launched.But Kyle’s face was unreadable, betraying nothing of what he was thinking.Everyone else from the Jones and Jackson families looked just as heavyhearted.Why did Charlie always have to insert himself at critical moments and pour oil on the fire?“…Heh.”A cold chuckle pierced the tense air.Every

As soon as the door opened, before Sophia could say a word, Kyle brushed past her and stormed into the apartment.“Candice…”He rushed into the living room and saw Candice sitting on the sofa.The exhaustion in her eyes, combined with the sudden frostiness of her gaze upon seeing him, made his throat tighten. His voice was hoarse.“I didn’t know about what happened this morning.”Candice’s expression remained blank. “So? Why are you here—what do you want to say?”Kyle sat beside her.Candice immediately stood and moved to sit across from him.Kyle: “…”He didn’t follow her, just said, “I’ll personally release a statement tomorrow to clarify everything that happened today.”Candice: “Clarify? What exactly will you clarify? Refute the false accusations your mother made up? Or admit to your affair with Mia?”Kyle: “…”He wanted to say that there was no engagement between him and Mia, and that there was nothing going on between them. Candice was his legal wife, and that photo of her with

As soon as Mary Smith heard that, she clenched the dried fish in her hand tightly.“No. When the old lady entrusted Candice to me back then, she said she didn’t ask for her to become rich or powerful, just that she be safe and sound.”“But the problem is—she’s not safe now!” Margaret’s eyes turned red. “I don’t want this either. We raised her to be educated, sensible, and beautiful—she’s my life. But now, look at what her marriage has become, how she’s been bullied. All of this, isn’t it just because we have no background, no power? If they knew she was a child of the Lawrence family, would they dare to treat her this way? Caroline would be dying to curry favor!”“Sigh.” Mary let out another long sigh. “But the Lawrence family is even more of a den of wolves and tigers. Sure, she’s being mistreated now, but if she returns to the Lawrence family, she might end up losing her life.”“…Don’t bring this up again, especially not in front of Candice. Not a word, you hear me?”“Mm.”Margaret

A primal, beast-like instinct made Rex turn his head just as the two cars passed each other.He caught a glimpse—just the man’s nose and lips beneath the brim of a wide black hat.The car drove past.Rex subconsciously memorized the license plate number.—Meanwhile, Sophia was rushing to the apartment complex.She couldn’t help but call Charlie for an update. She knew he wasn’t a god, and the property management would need time to investigate, but she was far too anxious to sit still.Charlie answered and got straight to the point: “The property hasn’t responded yet, but my man found a suspicious car that just left the garage. We’re tracking it now.”“A suspicious car?” Sophia’s breath hitched. “Candice told me she was being followed—could it be the same person?”“No. That man’s still outside the complex. He was sent by Kyle.”“…You even know that?”Sophia was surprised, but had no time to dig into it. “Got it. Either way, I’ll go check the apartment first. Maybe it’s a false alarm.”
