Filed to story: The Regretful Billionaire: An Unpredicted Reunion
After finishing his cigarette, Boris smiled and said, “What’s the rush? Graham isn’t the only one in Zellweger Inc.I need to contact the others first so that we’ll have a better chance.”
Boris also worked at Zellweger Inc and was a member of the board of directors.
His lifelong goal was to take Graham down and get the position of chairman for himself.It was just that he hadn’t had a chance before.
When Rowena took the initiative to come to him and said she wanted to suggest a collaboration, he was very surprised.
But more importantly, he was pleased, thinking he finally had a chance to achieve his goal.
“My family is interested in working with you.Would you like to meet them?”
Rowena spoke up, as her main purpose that day was to facilitate collaboration between the two.
With Boris’s ability, it would probably take a long time for him to deal with Graham alone.She didn’t have that much time and didn’t want to wait, so she decided to rope in the Glasses to deal with Graham together.
After a round of serious contemplation, Boris nodded.
“Alright, the Glasses are your family, after all.I trust you.”
Boris didn’t really mean what he said, of course.
However, he had a clear understanding of his own capabilities and knew that his best choice was to work with the Glasses.He lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms.
“What did Graham do to offend you? Why do you hate him so much?”
“He has offended me in many ways.Even if he dies now, I won’t shed a single tear.”
Not only would she not shed a single tear, but she would also quickly calculate the inheritance she could get.
Right now, she was only interested in gaining more wealth for herself.
After so many years, she finally understood that feelings and emotions were worthless.
Hearing what she said, Boris shivered and thought, “Indeed, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.It’s best not to easily offend this woman.Otherwise, you wouldn’t know how she’ll scheme to do you in.”
Rowena noticed the call from Jolene after she saw Boris off.
She was about to call her daughter back but decided against it.
For Jolene to call at this time, Rowena could guess the reason to some extent.
Then again, she had already advised her as much as she could.
Even if Jolene complained to her now, she couldn’t offer her a better solution.
Moreover, she couldn’t rely on her mother forever.
“Jo, you should learn how to face this cruel world on your own!” Rowena thought.
Marriage in Name Only
When Rowena returned to Zellweger Castle, it was already 2 in the morning.
She had just walked into the living room and was about to quietly go back to her room when the lights in the corridor were suddenly turned on.She was startled and turned around to find that the person who had turned on the lights was Danika.
Her heart raced uncontrollably faster.
Danika, why aren’t you asleep at this late hour?”
“You’re not asleep either, and you just came back so late.What were you doing, Rowena?”
Danika smiled, and under the illumination of the lights, her eyes seemed to be glowing, making Rowena feel like she had nowhere to hide.
Rowena tried to suppress the panic in her heart and said expressionlessly, “I felt sad because Jo moved out, so I went to talk to a friend.”
“Oh, really?”
Danika smirked with a hint of sarcasm.
If it weren’t for the fact that she had just received information from the person she sent to follow Rowena about her entering a hotel, she might have believed her words.
Rowena didn’t intend to continue talking to her.She couldn’t shake off the feeling that Danika knew everything.
Even though she knew it was impossible, it still made her panic.
“Go to bed early.You have work tomorrow.”
After saying that, she went into her room, not caring what Danika thought of her.
Danika stood in the corridor for a while.She looked at Rowena’s room, then shifted her gaze to the room where Graham was staying.
Since she returned to Zellweger Castle, she’d never seen them stay in the same room.It seemed their marriage had long been reduced to one in name only.It didn’t really affect her much, but she was concerned on behalf of her father.
She couldn’t just let Rowena cheat on him and do nothing, right? Thinking of this, she asked someone to investigate who Rowena had gone to meet that night.
Danika had to get to the bottom of it.
The next day, when Danika woke up, Rowena was already in the kitchen.
A rare occurrence.
“Danika, you’re awake.Come and have breakfast.”
Seeing Danika, Rowena waved at her.
At the dining table, Graham was already having breakfast.
Danika walked over and looked at Rowena with suspicion.
“It’s the first time I’ve tasted food prepared by you after being here for so long.”
Rowena was too desperate.She’d just done something behind Graham’s back, and now she was trying to please him.
Anyone would find her behavior abnormal.
The three of them sat together as they ate breakfast, and that was when Jolene returned.
From a distance, she looked at the three people at the dining table, and the atmosphere around them seemed unusually harmonious.
Upon seeing that, she couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into tears.It was then the three of them turned to look at her and noticed her arrival.
“Jo? Why are you back?”
Rowena immediately stood up and walked over.
Seeing Jolene crying so sadly, she felt her heart aching.
After all, Jolene was her own flesh and blood.So, she couldn’t bear to see her precious little girl so upset.
“You don’t want me to come back, do you? Did my return disrupt your little family of three?”
Jolene had suffered a lot at James’ hand.
Seeing them behaving like a real family upon returning, Jolene couldn’t take it.
Rowena glared at her and scolded, “Nonsense! Have you had breakfast? Let me make some for you.”
“I haven’t eaten yet,” Jolene said.
Rowena pulled her over to sit down and got up to make breakfast for her.
Now, only Danika, Graham, and Jolene were at the table.
The atmosphere became tense with just the three of them.
Jolene glared at Danika and still harbored lingering resentment against her.
Then, her gaze turned to Graham, and it became somewhat complicated.
“Dad.”
Graham nodded without looking up at her.
“Dad, I’ve thought about it and realized you were right yesterday.I shouldn’t have moved in with James so early.So, I’m planning to move back in. Is that okay?”
She was a bit nervous.She really didn’t want to stay with James anymore.
Who knew what awaited her in the future if she went back to his villa?
Care for Them on Your Behalf
Graham would have said yes to her request without hesitation if she had said that yesterday.He would even feel glad that this daughter of his had become sensible.
Everything was too late now.
Graham threw the newspaper he was reading to Jolene.He said nothing and continued eating breakfast.
Jolene was puzzled but still lowered her head to look at the newspaper.Her eyes widened in disbelief in the next second, and an incredulous expression overtook her features.
