All Chapters of His Biggest Regret Was Me: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

As soon as he made it through the deserted corridor, Charlie came to an abrupt stop. The crushing weight in his chest after facing Elena still burned fiercely, mingling with the storm of emotions he was desperately trying to keep under control."Ray, get me a taxi. Now," Charlie ordered in a low, heavy voice as he rubbed the back of his neck.Ray nodded obediently. "Yes, Boss. Please wait here for a moment."Ray had barely taken two steps away when the phone inside Charlie's suit pocket vibrated sharply. The screen displayed Stevani's name. Letting out a quiet sigh, Charlie swiped the green button."Hello, Mr. Vane? Where are you?" Stevani asked from the other end of the line, her voice laced with concern after realizing Charlie had yet to return to the auction hall."Miss Stevani, my apologies... I have to return to the hotel earlier than expected. I'm suddenly not feeling very well," Charlie replied calmly, maintaining his professional façade."Oh, is that so? Do you need a doctor t

Elena stood upright before the large vanity mirror in her bedroom. The deep black evening gown wrapped perfectly around her curves, exuding an aura of cold elegance that was both captivating and deadly. Her slender fingers carefully touched up her dark red lipstick, further accentuating the uncompromising expression on her face.“How foolish of me to believe all this time that Charlie was dead...” Elena murmured softly, staring at her reflection in the mirror. The corners of her lips lifted, forming a faint yet frighteningly calculating smile. “Do you think you can hide from me forever behind that new logistics company of yours, Charlie? After tonight, we’ll see who truly holds the power.”Deep within her chest, the hatred that had once faded was now blazing fiercely once again. Elena would never forget what it had felt like to suffer through three years of a cold and empty marriage with Charlie. If the owner of Altair Logistics truly was her ex-husband, Elena would not hesitate for e

Under the dim glow of the emergency lights and the acrid smell of soot hanging in the air, the atmosphere in the yard of Altair Logistics felt frozen.Aria clasped her hands tightly together, forcing a look of confusion onto her face. “You mean... Mr. Vane took this wooden ship from a trash bin? Is that even possible? Someone of Mr. Vane’s status... picking up secondhand items from in front of your house?”Her response was purely an act of self-preservation. Aria simply wanted to stay out of trouble. She loved her job at Aethel Corp and had absolutely no intention of betraying her boss. She just was not ready to witness Elena’s expression shatter when those painful wounds from the past were ripped wide open.“That’s not what I mean!” Elena cut in sharply, her voice rising an octave.Elena clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Fine veins stood out along her neck as she struggled to contain the surge of anger threatening to erupt from her chest. Her gaze darkened

Every click of Charlie’s leather shoes against the marble floor of Aethel Corp’s lobby echoed like the ticking of a clock counting down to an execution. Beneath his upright posture and neatly tailored black suit, Charlie’s chest thundered violently. He was resigned to his fate, yet every nerve in his body remained taut.The exclusive VIP elevator opened with a soft chime on the top floor. The moment his footsteps carried him out, the corridor leading to the executive director’s office felt cold and utterly desolate.Aria was already standing at the double doors, waiting for him. Elena’s personal assistant looked tense, her eyes fixed on Charlie with an overwhelming expression of guilt.“Please come in, Mr. Vane,” Aria whispered softly as she opened the door, not daring to meet the eyes of the man behind the ivory mask. “Madam has been waiting for you.”Charlie gave a slight nod. He drew in a deep breath, gathering every last shred of courage he had left, then stepped across the thresh

Charlie was still sitting inside the cabin of his black sedan, his fingers gripping the steering wheel tightly. Before he could press the gas pedal, the dark eyes behind his mask caught sight of a luxury car bearing the Vanguard clan logo slowly entering the courtyard of Aethel Corp.The vehicle's door opened. William stepped out in an expensive suit, adjusting the buttons of his jacket while exuding an utterly repulsive arrogance. The man tilted his head upward toward the top floor of the building, flashing a satisfied smile as though the entire world were already in the palm of his hand.Behind the dark-tinted windows of his car, Charlie's jaw clenched tightly. His gaze sharpened like a blade, locking directly onto the man Ray had just identified as the mastermind behind the sabotage at the Altair Logistics warehouse.So you're the one playing dirty, William... Charlie thought fiercely, suppressing the wave of anger burning in his chest. You burned my investment just to cut off my a
