Avalanche of Regret: The Wife Who Waited Too Long의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 7

"Clover, a blizzard is coming! Take us down the mountain now, or we'll all die here!"One of my coworkers glanced at the sky and immediately knew something was wrong.Clover Ainsley shook her head. "Elliot hasn't returned yet. Let's wait."Snow fell in heavy flurries, and the roaring wind made everyone uneasy."What's the point of waiting?" someone snapped. "Didn't he say this mountain is like home to him? Let him come down on his own!" "Right. We should've been off the mountain an hour ago, but he went off taking pictures. He can take his chances all he wants, but why pull the rest of us along?"Their complaints died down under Clover's icy glare."If you don't want to wait, go ahead. I'm not stopping anyone."One of them shot back, "You make it sound easy, but you're the only one who knows the way. You're the guide. If you don't lead us, no one will make it down.""Then shut up!" Clover snapped. "If Elliot doesn't come back today, I'm not going anywhere. You're all shameles

After learning that Elliot was the billionaire's son and that he could very likely get everyone out alive, the entire group began fawning over him. They gave up the cleanest, most comfortable spot in the cave for him without hesitation.When we climbed the mountain, Elliot had said he liked to travel light, so aside from his trekking pole, he hadn't brought anything with him. The moment he mentioned being thirsty or hungry, everyone rushed to offer him their water bottles and chocolate. As he ate and drank without restraint, he promised generously, "When we get out, I'll pay you back ten times over."Food and water could still be spared, but when night fell, no one was willing to give up their sleeping bags. Going without food or water for a few days was survivable, but spending a subzero night without a sleeping bag was a death sentence.No matter how much money Elliot offered, not a single person was willing to hand theirs over.He frowned and turned to Clover. "Clover, what sh

Iris had come prepared with a rescue team and medical staff. After I was dug out, several people immediately began attending to me. Fortunately, I hadn't been exposed to the cold for long, and my body temperature hadn't dropped too far. Before long, I started to recover.As Iris kept layering clothes over me, warmth slowly spread through my entire body. Meanwhile, those who had been taken onto the helicopter were gradually brought back down. The atmosphere inside the cave grew strange and tense.Clover asked anxiously, "Rowan, are you okay?"Her words seemed to snap everyone out of their stupor. They rushed to check on me, and a few even stripped off their own layers to drape over me, as if worried I wasn't warm enough.I let out a soft laugh. "At a time like this, you can stop pretending. You were the ones who threw me into the snow."Everyone lowered their heads in unison.Iris clenched her fists. "Mr. Vale, you were thrown into the snow by these people?"Though she was a

On camera, Clover and the others sobbed, accusing me of treating them like toys and forcing them to fight before I would take them away. They called me a rich man with sick tastes.Public opinion immediately turned against me. Nearly everyone insulted me, and some even boycotted my company. Many spoke up for them, claiming I had disregarded human life.As public outrage continued to build, Clover called me. She told me that if I didn't give her a large sum of money, she would reveal even more explosive details and ruin both my father and me. Leaving someone to die was a grave matter, and what I did back then was truly inhumane.I sneered. "Clover, have you forgotten that before my family's rescue team arrived, you were planning to kill me?""But you didn't die," she shot back. "You made it through, while we suffered for ten long days. In that blizzard, you used your money to overpower us. When I tell the full story, do you really think the public will support you? Even the police m
