All Chapters of Beyond Goodbye: No Us Anymore: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

In the living room, Winona stood at the foot of the stairs, watching Harrison spiral, a flicker of satisfaction flashing through her eyes.She'd thought forcing Eleanor out would take far more effort, yet Eleanor had broken so easily and walked away without a fight.That was fine, too, for it saved her the trouble of having to go after Eleanor again.Now that Eleanor was gone, Winona was certain she could step into the role of Harrison's wife, especially with the child she was carrying.At the thought of that, she rested a hand over her stomach, her gaze softening with affection.Harrison sat on the couch the entire day without moving, the air around him heavy and oppressive.Winona walked over, putting on a gentle expression, as she coaxed, "Harry, don't torture yourself like this."She reached out carefully, trying to touch his shoulder. "If Eleanor chose to leave, it just means she never really loved you. Someone who truly loves you wouldn't abandon you like that."Harrison

"Unfit?" Harrison's hand shook as he held the phone. "So because she didn't get pregnant right away, she deserved to be betrayed, framed, and hurt?""Of course," Miranda replied sharply. "A woman who can't have children has no business holding the title of Mrs. Luther. I'm telling you now, Harrison, I'm backing Winona."You come back immediately, apologize to her, and start preparing for the wedding. If you dare touch her again, I'll have you removed from your position at Luther Group."Harrison suddenly laughed. The sound was low and unsettling."Mom, you still don't understand what's going on, do you?" he said calmly, his tone chilling. "You really think you can still threaten me with the company?"The line went dead silent."W-What did you say?" Miranda's voice rose. "Harrison, are you insane? Most of the shares are still in my hands!""Are they?" He leaned back in his chair, his eyes cold. "To secure your position, you bought up a large amount of odd lots. You gave some to m

"But I love you!" Harrison said, near desperation. "Eleanor, you're the only person I've ever loved!""Love?"Eleanor laughed as tears finally spilled over. "Harrison, do you even know what love is?"Because of love, he let Winona hurt her without question.Because of love, he assumed she could endure anything.In both her past life and this one, she had finally understood. Even if he truly loved her, that kind of love suffocated her.Thankfully, she still had a choice.Eleanor wiped away her tears. There wasn't a trace of affection left in her gaze as she looked at him.Perhaps when she first came back or when she was kidnapped, she'd hoped things could be salvaged and that he cared about her.But now, all of that was in the past.The icy indifference in her eyes made his heart splinter. Harrison took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. "I know I hurt you and disappointed you, but seeing you work in a place like this worries me," he said."The environment here is d

Right. What was she even thinking? Alexander was only doing his job.Eleanor gave a self-mocking smile, finding herself ridiculous. After being hurt so badly by a man, how could she still let a small, insignificant act of kindness send her thoughts wandering like that?"Still, thank you," she said, then turned and walked away.Alexander watched her retreating figure, his gaze flickering briefly.He withdrew his eyes and said to the medic who was bandaging his arm, "Careful. My fiancee saw that earlier. She might think I'm about to die."The medic, a cheerful foreigner, burst out laughing. "Got it, Alexander. You're such a doting fiance."Their voices weren't loud, but their words drifted into Eleanor's ears as she stopped a short distance away.Fiancee? It turned out he was engaged.Eleanor couldn't quite describe how she felt. There was a trace of disappointment, but more than that, there was a sense of relief, as if something had finally settled.That was for the best, she t

After running into a dead end, Harrison didn't leave Lethor.He spent a fortune renting a house in a small town near the temporary media center, then sent Joseph back to Astora."Go look into a man named Alexander Grant," Harrison said. "I want everything you can find."Joseph took one look at Harrison's grim expression and didn't ask questions. He flew back that same night.It didn't take long for Alexander's file to arrive, along with a photo of his fiancee.Harrison stared at the picture of the two of them smiling sweetly. Instead of getting angry, he laughed."So he's engaged back home," he muttered, a manic glee gleaming in his eyes.He thought he realized something.Eleanor was merely putting on an act.She was staying close to Alexander on purpose and treating Harrison like a stranger, because she wanted to get under his skin and make him pay.That idea gave Harrison a twisted kind of comfort.She still cared about him.As long as she still cared, he still had a chan
