All Chapters of She Regretted It After I Left: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

A sharp screech of tires cut through the silence. Darryl stumbled out of the parked sports car and ran toward me with tearful pleas. "It's all my fault, Professor Bell! I didn't mess with your data on purpose! You were right to yell at me in the lab. I'm such an idiot. I might as well get run over." Overwhelmed with drama, he bolted to his feet and lunged toward oncoming traffic."No! Don't!" Serenity pushed me away and held onto Darryl for dear life. She snapped her head at me angrily. "Darryl is just a kid. How could you say something so cruel to him?" I didn't, though. Locking onto my icy gaze, Darryl broke down harder. "Professor Bell, a little roughing up wouldn't even begin to make things right. I deserve to die and pay for what I have done, Serenity."A chuckle escaped my lips. I was amused by Darryl's pathetic acting and absurd lies. Nevertheless, Serenity took these lies as proof of my guilt. "So you lost some lab files." Serenity grabbed me, her to

After the livestream, Serenity never came back home. Darryl took to social media daily to flex a brand-new diamond watch.He even bragged that Serenity bought it for him just to make up for everything he'd suffered.I had reached the point where I could face the whole thing unfazed. On the morning of the day before my flight to Antarctica, my phone started blaring.Over the phone, a staff member from the care facility was shaking so hard they could barely speak, saying something had happened to Connor.Dropping my phone without a second thought, I sprinted to the facility. As I threw open the door to his room, the smell of blood hit me straight in the face. Connor's face was swollen and battered, covered in bruises and raw cuts. He was also stripped of his clothes. Right in front of him stood Darryl, brandishing a riding crop and striking his already split, raw flesh, drawing fresh ribbons of blood."Dad!" With bloodshot eyes, I charged forward and pushed Darryl away. I

The security team hauled Darryl away from the hospital grounds.With a serious tone, Serenity instructed Millie, "Dig into everything. Pull the logs on the ruined drug data, every unusual movement in the lab, and Darryl's complete file from the past three years. I want every single scrap of evidence."The digital files arrived in a flash.Serenity sat in the waiting area outside the hospital room, repeatedly reviewing the original system logs, backup records from the server room, and laboratory security footage her assistant had sent her. The harsh light of the screen washed over her pale face.The day the data had been erased, Darryl had stayed behind in the lab alone that night, carefully positioning himself outside the range of every security camera. However, a separate camera near the refrigerated centrifuge had captured his actions at the workstation. In the footage, Darryl stood before the control panel. He carefully selected the data files containing the drug's core re

My teammates were stunned, turning their heads to stare at me. "Man, Ms. Bell is pulling all the stops, apologizing on TV and practically begging Ian to come back." "I had no idea Professor Bell would walk away from her. Ms. Bell is loaded." Everyone behind me kept chattering, total shock written all over their faces.I kept a stoic face while organizing my sampling tools without pausing for a beat. Camilla took strides over. "Why are you all standing around? Do the data simulations run themselves, or does the sample inventory clear on its own?" The group dispersed. I looked up at her. "Thank you." It was barely a whisper. Camilla caught my words anyway. She handed over a heavy-duty ice safety rope, her eyes fixed out the window."Just so you know, I have way more money in my name than Serenity does." I was taken aback. "What?" Camilla's ears flushed red. She did not look at me or walk away. "I mean… "I'm pretty loaded too." Camilla certainly had a d
