All Chapters of Regrets Come Too Late: Chapter 231 - Chapter 240

John was calm. So calm that even after Pamela asked that question, there wasn't a flicker of emotion on his face.That reaction was enough to terrify Pamela."As long as I haven't committed a capital crime, the only person who gets to decide my life is me," John said, his voice low. "Even if you saved me back then, you still don't have that right."Pamela's fingers curled tighter. She felt as though a boulder was slowly crushing her chest. She found John's line of thought terrifyingly rational, almost like a madman."Anything else?" John asked."No." That one simple word was enough to drain the strength out of Pamela. "You can go."John nodded and gave her a simple hum before leaving.Pamela watched him walk away. Her heart should have been dead by now, but her love only twisted into something more obsessive.A voice kept looping in her mind. 'What Sierra can have, you have it too. He just doesn't love you because he met Sierra first. If Sierra is gone, he'll finally be able

John left almost at the same time as the police. When he reached the ground floor, he didn't drive off. Instead, he sat in his car and stared up at the high-rise where Sierra lived.A little over ten minutes later, Robin arrived. "Boss.""Are the results in?" John asked."They are." Robin handed him a folder. "Multiple agencies confirmed it. Lucas is not Ms. Bell's biological father. They're not related by blood."John flipped through the pages.Robin was right. Sierra was not Lucas's daughter."Want me to track down Ms. Bell's biological father?" Robin asked."No need." John's voice stayed faint. Once they had clarified Anna's situation, information about Sierra's father would surface on its own. He paused for a moment, then asked, "When did Anna and Lucas get married?""They registered in April. Less than five months after Ms. Bell's birthday," Robin said. That meant Lucas had most likely known Anna was already pregnant."I dug a little deeper. On the surface, it looks

"If you can breach through my company's defenses," John said to Lucy, perfectly calm in the face of her threat to move his company's funds. Lucy went quiet. She regretted building him such an impenetrable defense system. Now, even she would have a hard time cracking it."Anna's files are buried by a really skilled hacker," Lucy said, running through the facts again. She wasn't sure if Kenneth had mentioned it. "If I force my way through, it'll take about two hours."In the past, it might have been beyond her.But now? Easy as pie."Fine." John stayed put and waited.Time slowly passed them by.In the private room, the only sound was Lucy's fingers on the keyboard. Kenneth sat there, torn between staying and leaving. No one was drinking, and no one was talking either.It was so boring!But… He was the one who had asked them out."John." Kenneth thought it over and decided he wanted to chat. He couldn't just sit there and do nothing. "What are you going to do about Origin

"We met five years ago at your wedding with John," Lucy said to Sierra as she stood in Sierra's doorway. The slight lift at the corners of her eyes made her look especially pretty. "You forgot."Sierra tried hard to remember.Nothing."Back then, I tried to hit on you. John even glared at me," Lucy said.Sierra paused.Their wedding? Flirting?Lucy pulled out her phone and brought up an old photo, then held it out to Sierra. "Look at this. Does this ring a bell?"Sierra stared at the screen. The photo showed a girl with shoulder-length choppy hair and a pair of headphones around her neck, smiling with bright energy and a streak of rascal-like attitude.Something clicked. Sierra looked up at her in disbelief. "You... You're Lucy?""Do I look even more handsome now?" Lucy brushed back her hair. A charming aura surrounded her naturally."You look great either way." Sierra stepped aside. "Come in."Sierra hadn't seen Lucy many times. Other than during the wedding, they had o

John glanced at Lucy and told her he needed to take the call. He walked to the window and answered, his voice steady and pleasant as usual. "What is it?""You still haven't answered my question from yesterday." Sierra kept her tone calm. She didn't want to start a fight with him at a time like this."About the divorce?" John asked."Yes," Sierra said."I'm not free on Thursday." He was telling the truth. As the CEO of Henderson Group and owner of Origin Games, he had endless decisions waiting for him every day. With all his roles piled together, he could be busy every single day unless he chose to make time."When are you free, then?" Sierra knew how much work he had and didn't suspect he was doing it on purpose. "We can set a time so I can take leave from work.""Come to my office on Monday." John sounded completely serious. "I'll have Robin send you my schedule, and we can pick a time together."Sierra frowned.She really didn't want to be alone with John at Origin Games.
