Semua Bab Regrets Come Too Late: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Sierra's voice was blunt as she said to Lucas, "If that's your so-called reason, then you can come to the hospital with me right now and beg my mom for her apology." Lucas set his glass down and stood up slowly.Sierra thought he was going to leave with her, but his entire expression changed in the next second. The remorse vanished, replaced by something vicious."Beg and apologize to her? Does she deserve that?" Lucas stepped toward her, finally showing his true colors. "Don't forget! If I hadn't left you and your mother in Jade City back then, you would never have had the chance to cross paths with someone like John Henderson."Hearing that, Sierra understood that he had never called her here to apologize for what had happened in the past."You should be grateful to me," Lucas said as he got more and more worked up. "I'm the one who let you live the life of a rich man's wife!""I wonder how Mom was ever blind enough to fall for you," Sierra said icily before leaving. Whateve

"I didn't expect Ms. Bell to be this feisty!" The men in the private room watched the scene where Sierra was threatening Lucas with a broken glass bottle. They weren't surprised, as if they had seen it countless times. "No wonder John liked you. It must be your temper!""Have a drink, Mrs. Henderson," someone said, deliberately stressing the title.Lucas's expression did not change. He never took her resistance seriously. "Why are you still standing there?"Sierra's hand was shaking slightly as she held the broken bottle, but her feet slowly edged toward the door.Every man in the room saw it."Looks like Mr. Bell isn't all that eager about rebuilding his company." One of the men set his wine glass down with a dull thud, displeasure written all over his face. "In that case, forget about the drink."Lucas's expression became even more vicious when he heard the glass being harshly placed on the table. He had finally managed to claw his way back and re-established a few connec

"Well, we won't force you if you can't drink." Kenneth smiled slightly at Lucas. "Making deals is all about mutual agreement in the end."Lucas's fingers tightened around the glass. His eyes drifted over to the bottles on the table. After considering all the outcomes in his mind, he gave a firm answer. "I'll drink!"He had already crossed those men downstairs just now, thanks to Sierra. If he wanted their help again, the amount of liquor he would have to drink would probably be even worse than this. All Lucas wanted was an opportunity, anyway. He might as well gamble on John.As long as John was willing to help him, he would never have to worry about money again.Once Lucas made up his mind, he started drinking one glass after another.Kenneth watched the empty bottles line up and glanced sideways at the man beside him.This was just too brutal!Thump!When the last bottle finally ran dry, Lucas was completely drunk. His steps wobbled, his words slurred, but he didn't forg

It had been four years since they last saw each other. But their three-person group chat had never gone quiet, so they were just as close."No matter how the world changes, I'll never change," Nicholas declared with absolute confidence.Sierra chuckled.Nicholas glanced at the martial arts center belonging to the Henderson Group and asked, "You're here to pick up Tommy?""Just to check on him. He has just probably finished lunch and is taking a nap around this time. I'm only supposed to pick him up a little after six." Sierra looked at the time, then at the suitcase by Nicholas's side. "You haven't eaten yet, have you?""I got off the plane and went straight into planning this surprise for you. Of course I didn't have the time to eat," Nicholas answered without holding back at all.Sierra smiled and said, "Let me treat you, then."After everything with Lucas, Sierra had come here on impulse. She simply wanted to see Tommy and calm herself down. Whenever something upset her, se

Ruthless!That was completely ruthless!"You're not worried if Sierra will realize this?" Kenneth continued to gossip once he found his courage again. "She and Nicholas are really close."John did not answer. He understood Sierra's temperament better than anyone.She was the kind of person who wouldn't even stay friends once someone confessed, and she couldn't reciprocate it. In her eyes, accepting a friendship she couldn't keep clean was a burden. Better to cut it off at the start than drag things out and send mixed signals and give someone hope.Nicholas knew that perfectly well since he had grown up with her. That was why he had never confessed. Not even once."I'll go and talk to the manager," Kenneth said, suddenly energized, forgetting every decision he had quietly made in the car earlier. "Once it's done, I'll come back and report.""No need for that," John said.Kenneth paused. "What?"John got out of the car. "I'll go with you."Kenneth verbally agreed to it and, o
