Chapter 11
A few days passed.
When my mom and I were shopping for clothes, we ran into an acquaintance of her who immediately started gossiping with my mom.
I heard that after Vincent recovered from his illness, he locked himself in his room and started drinking heavily.
No matter who called, the door remained closed.
Until someone sent him a recording, Yaritza’s foot was not that serious.
Yaritza bought fabricated medical records from the hospital.
Vincent found Yaritza and they had a big argument. He also froze all the assets he had given to Yaritza and blacklisted her in the industry.
Yaritza had not even graduated from studying abroad.
Without a good diploma, one was marginalized, and now even basic sustenance has become a problem.
Vincent’s grandfather, dissatisfied with his temperament and inability to judge people, found him embarrassing. He sent him to a subsidiary in a remote city to gain experience, effectively putting an end to his ambitions for power in the future.
We met before he left, at a banquet.
I attended with Hezekiah.
The air was filled with a mixture of scents and Hezekiah couldn’t get away from the socializing.
I came out by myself to get some fresh air.
It didn’t take long before I saw Vincent standing beside me, and it was evident that he had become noticeably thinner and haggard.
“Reina, I am leaving in the next two days, and I came today just to see you one more time.”
“Well, everything went smoothly.”
Vincent’s eyes turned red. His voice hoarse. “These past few days, I have thought a lot. I was terribly wrong all this time, causing you so much distress.”
I’m sorry, Reina, I’m sorry.”
I nodded, “Hmm, have you finished speaking?”
Vincent pursed his lips and choked out, “Uh.”
There was a long silence.
In college, we always had endless conversations when we were together.
After graduation, the rare moments of solitude we had were only filled with my endless words.
Now, I didn’t speak and he didn’t know what to say
either.
In the end, we reached a point where we looked at each other without saying a word.
I turned around and left.
Walk your own path.
walk
Walk to the end where it was bright.
I saw Hezekiah, wearing a custom–made silver–gray suit, lazily leaning against the stairs.
He looked up when he heard footsteps approaching.
His cold and indifferent gaze instantly turned gentle like water when he saw me.
I thought I was lucky enough.
中申
Hezekiah got a call.
“Speak.”
“Mr. Hennen, it was you who made me come back, who hooked me up with Vincent, and now I am being blacklisted, ending up in this state. You can’t just ignore me.”
“I just pointed you in the right direction back then, and look at what you’ve become on your own,” Hezekiah mocked.
“Don’t go talking nonsense in front of my wife, or you’ll pay for that.” After hanging up the phone, Hezekiah turned around and kissed the sleeping woman in his arms.
“No, tired,” the soft voice said with a hint of hoarseness.
The man’s eyes were filled with a gentle and smiling expression.
“Okay, sweetheart, go to sleep.”
