Semua Bab She Chose Him, Now She Wants Me Back: Bab 481 - Bab 490

Zachary and Benedict sat at the same table.Logan still looked ashen. The table overflowed with delicacies from land and sea, yet to him everything tasted like wax.Benedict glanced at him and smiled. "Logan, no need to look like you're at a funeral."Logan let out a long sigh. "If I take that money out, my dad will kill me. I was asking for it, provoking Dominic for no reason."Anyone could hear the resentment in his voice.A trace of displeasure flickered in Benedict's eyes. He spoke lightly. "If you can't afford it, then don't pay for now. What's there to fear about owing a debt?"Logan froze. "Ben, what do you mean?"Zachary chuckled. "You still don't get it? Benedict means you acknowledge the debt, but when you repay it is another matter. Drag it out for eight or ten years. That's not impossible."They had also lost tens of millions of dollars, but for families of their standing, such losses meant little.Logan's eyes lit up at once.Benedict spoke calmly. "Even if Mr. G

Jessica looked at Logan with open disgust. "You dared to cheat. The only reason you still have your hands and feet is because my Dom is merciful."When you gamble, you accept the loss. That is the most basic rule. You have 24 hours. If the money has not arrived by then, you will bear the consequences. When you return, think it over carefully. Which matters more, 400,000,000 dollars or the Pierces' business?"Her words struck like a heavy hammer and left Logan's expression frozen.Jessica had made herself perfectly clear. If he refused to pay, the Pierces could prepare for bankruptcy.The Hales possessed that kind of power, and it would not even be difficult for them. Moreover, Jessica had said this in public. Whether the threat aligned with the Pierces' interests no longer mattered. To preserve the Hales' dignity, the family would face a devastating blow if Logan failed to comply.After she finished speaking, Jessica's gaze swept over Benedict and Zachary.Their hearts instantly

'So that's how it was… It was all planned by you…'All the pain vanished in that instant. A miserable smile curled on Zachary's lips. 'You calculated that I would kill Lydia. Then, by some method I don't even understand, you made it possible for Lydia to come back and seek revenge on me…'Intense unwillingness filled Zachary's face. 'I'm the Grant heir! How can I die so pathetically? If Lydia can become a ghost, why can't I? I'll take revenge on Dominic, and on Lydia too!'…In just a few minutes, it felt as if an entire century had passed.Zachary's struggles gradually weakened. His body began to convulse. His pants grew wet, and an unpleasant smell spread through the room.Lydia caught the scent and curled her lip in disgust. "Ugh! So gross!"She had forgotten that when she died, her own condition had not been much better.Finally, Zachary stopped moving completely. His tongue lolled out, his pupils dilated, and his eyes stared blankly at the ceiling. He was dead beyond any d

It was a huge blow to Autumn.Jewel felt a twinge of jealousy and sighed softly. "See? I told you not to come, but you insisted!"Autumn's voice trembled. "Is Dominic… with her now?"Jewel considered this for a moment. "Probably not yet, but I think it's close. Your Dominic has definitely fallen for her. As for what that woman thinks, that's still hard to say."Autumn's expression darkened. She lowered her head in dejection and turned away without a word.Jewel's eyes suddenly lit up. "Hey, where are you going?"Autumn forced a bitter smile. "I don't know."Her heart was in chaos, as if all her strength had drained away.The moment she remembered how Dominic had jerked his hand away as though he had been electrocuted, a sharp ache gripped her chest.Jewel asked, "So, you're going to give up?"Autumn answered forlornly, "What else can I do?""They haven't made it official yet," Jewel said in a meaningful tone.Autumn's eyes brightened. "Aunt Jewel, what do you mean?"Jewel

Autumn bit her lip and looked at Dominic, her eyes shimmering. "Dominic, in your eyes, am I really someone who can't tell right from wrong?"As she spoke, tears slid down her cheeks.If Jade were not her mother, she would have done the same thing Jessica did.Jewel curled her lips in dissatisfaction. "Dominic, what kind of thing are you saying? She made the mistake first. She deserved it! I think that slap should have come from Stephen himself to make it count. Over the next few days, the market value of the Garcia Group will probably lose more than a billion dollars!"When Dominic saw Autumn cry again, a sharp, inexplicable ache stirred in his chest. With Katherine present, however, he did not know how to respond.Just then, the office door burst open.Isabella walked in. She froze when she saw the scene inside and asked instinctively, "Hey, what are you all doing?"Her arrival immediately drew everyone's attention.The receptionist hurried in behind her, panting heavily. "Mr.
