Semua Bab Betrayed on Deal Day: Bab 1 - Bab 9

This time, I didn’t ask about the money.For several days in a row, Jackson didn’t come to see me either.Based on how things were before, he probably thought I already knew and was secretly trying to find a way to gather the money.He might even think that I would take the initiative to ask him how much is still missing. I’ll figure something out.He was too confident to realize that I had already changed.Soon, Lily’s birthday arrived.I heard that this time, she invited half of high society and stole all the attention at the banquet.That night, Lily wore a new set of jewelry. It was said to be a limited edition, with only three sets in the world.Its value just happened to be ten million.Jackson got drunk and sent me a message asking me to pick him up.When I didn’t agree, dozens of accusatory messages were sent to my phone not long after.[Anna, what are you doing? I’m drunk and told you to come pick me up, yet you won’t even come. Are you still my fiancée? If you keep

There were three days left until the final payment deadline for the weapons deal.Since Jackson couldn’t find me, he started looking for my subordinates and even went to my father.My father called me and asked if I had fallen out with Jackson.I only said that we were over and told him not to interfere.He was silent for a moment and didn’t ask further.He had never liked Jackson. He thought Jackson acted too rashly, couldn’t shoulder responsibility, and had no future.He only didn’t object because I liked him.When Jackson couldn’t find me again and again, he grew anxious. He began waiting for me at several places I used to frequent.I had my people stop him, so he stood outside shouting my name.It drew the attention of many members.Still, I didn’t go out. I watched as Jackson stood outside, his face red as he cursed at me.I didn’t expect that after tearing apart a three-year relationship, it could become this ugly.On the afternoon of the payment deadline, I was recon

After arriving in Walford, I smoothly joined my new company. The boss here valued me highly and assigned me many tasks.I was so busy every day that I had no time to think about the past.Here, I had new friends and a new life.I thought this would be a good beginning, but I didn’t expect that two months later, I would receive a call from Jackson’s dad.Jackson’s dad had always been steady, but his voice on the phone sounded slightly hoarse.“Anna, I already know about what happened between you and Jackson. I know our Sanchez family has wronged you, but he’s in a sorry state. He drinks all day and has no motivation. One day, he even went street racing after drinking and got into a car accident. Now he’s lying in the hospital.”I didn’t reply.“Anna, I know I shouldn’t ask this of you, but as a father, I can’t bear to see my child fall like this. I hope that for the sake of your past relationship, you can come back and see him. When he was unconscious, he kept calling your name.

Jackson was more persistent than I thought.After that day, he didn’t leave. Instead, he rented a place near my apartment, and I would run into him every time I went out.Jackson didn’t act like he did that day. Sometimes, he would even bring me gifts and flowers.I didn’t accept them.However, over time, the neighbors started gossiping about us. Eventually, those rumors reached my workplace.One day, Louis called me into his office.I thought he would criticize me because of this, only for him to say, “If you feel these rumors are bothering you, I can step in and resolve it.”I was a little surprised, then I refused. “No need. This is my own matter. I can handle it myself.”So that night, I found Jackson and said, “What you’re doing is already affecting my life.”Jackson grabbed my hand and said, “Anna, I just want you to come back.“I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have gone to see Lily that day or given her the money and the weapons.“If there were a medicine for regret, I
