Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 324

I was totally lost. What was he trying to say?

Neil looked at me all puzzled, then suddenly his face darkened and he just walked away. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

I followed him in confusion. After a while, it hit me. I hadn’t checked if Neil had gotten home last night. After he drove off, I didn’t bother to ask. I didn’t really care about what could happen between him and Bonnie.

Was that why he was mad?

I noticed Neil getting jealous more easily, and always for unclear reasons.

“I was too tired last night and fell asleep. I meant to check on you…” I said patiently. “I trust you, so I don’t need to ask too much, right?”

“Don’t try to pull the wool over my eyes. I know how you used to treat me and how you treat me now” Neil replied coldly.

He remembered how I used to treat him? My one-sided feelings back then must have left a mark.

I wasn’t sure if I should be happy, but I just burst into laughter

“You’re laughing now? You’ve got guts.” Neil saw me laughing and got even madder. “Don’t think that just because you’re hurt, I won’t do anything to you.”

I stopped laughing immediately.

days. It will take some time. Alight, it’s all my fault. Now go get busy. I’ll try to get Ethan Foster to sign the contract in the next few

“Good, you owe me after this is over,” Neil reminded me before he left. I pretended to agree, but I felt uneasy.

How was I supposed to make it up to Neil? Have a baby for him? That was never going to happen.

After things were finally settled, Neil might start hating me.

My mom was awake now, and as long as she recovered well, she could go back to work. All I had to do was help her.

“Neil, I need to talk to you!” I called out to Neil.

“What is it?” Neil stopped, looking puzzled.

“You should watch out for Louis Aldridge. It would be a good thing if you could keep him out of Whitmore Co. I hadn’t meant to say this, but after seeing all that Neil had done for me, I considered it payback.

Neil’s face changed Instantly. He probably had a hunch, but he valued his friends very much. Apart from the strained relationship he had with Russel because of me, he always put his friends first, especially Louis, whom he had grown up with.

His mood seemed to have eased a bit, as if he were reassuring me. “Okay, I got it.”

Then he left.

About three days later, Hannah received a phone call saying her husband had been arrested for arson and murder. Only then did she realize that the fire at their home was indeed set by her husband.

You can file for divorce now.” I reminded Hannah.

“I pray that I will never see him again!” Hannah cursed her husband. There was not a trace of affection for him in her eyes, only hatred.

But I still didn’t understand why Bonnie had never been punished. I thought someone was protecting her Later, I found out that Neil had not used all the evidence and had let Bonnie off the hook on purpose.

Neil and I were in sync, we didn’t contact each other, but we each focused on our own things. When I returned to the company, I took the initiative to contact FarHorizon Group and agreed to their cooperation proposal, which gave me the opportunity to learn about the internal situation of FarHorizon Group.

“Ms. Finch, Ms. Reynolds wants to see you” My assistant reported in a hurry.

Why was Chloe Reynolds looking for me again? Shouldn’t she be living a sweet life with Russel now?

had mixed feelings as I remembered the rumors on the internet and the IP address that showed her location. Chloe didn’t seem as innocent as she looked. For Russel, she might do all sorts of unexpected things.

“I don’t have time right now I replied.

But I didn’t expect Chloe to wait for me until I finished work. She was waiting for me at the company’s entrance.

I frowned, not wanting to talk to her.

However, Chloe came over and asked concernedly. “Ms. Finch, I heard you were injured. Are you feeling better now?”

I was recovering well. Many people cared for me, like Stella, Hannah, and the company’s staff. But Chloe’s sudden concem made me feel a bit strange.

I’m fine, what’s up?” I replied casually.

Chloe looked around as if it weren’t a good place to talk and asked quietly. “Can we go for a coffee? I want to talk to you.”

She looked at me expectantly; her eyes were full of urgency, as if she needed my help with something important.

But I didn’t want to talk to her about anything right now.

“I don’t have time, Ms. Reynolds. We’re not close.” I replied coldly.

I used to be nice to Chloe. I thought it wasn’t easy for her to love Russel so much while he didn’t love her at all. But after I found out she had hurt me, I had no reason to be nice to her anymore.

Chloe was surprised by my change in attitude and awkwardly asked, “Yes, we’re not close, but we can still chat, right? You know, if it weren’t for Russel, I wouldn’t bother you.”

“You’re engaged to Russel, so you’re his future wife; why do you need me?” I asked back, puzzled.

On hearing this, Chloe’s face changed instantly “Ms. Finch, can you help me? Russel wants to break off our engagement.”

I was taken aback but quickly regained my composure. Russel had mentioned this to me before, I just didn’t think he would really do it.

So Chloe was here to ask me to persuade Russel

I was beyond peeved. “Ms. Reynolds, I reckon you should sort this out with Russel, not me. I’m done with him, and I am not getting involved in your mess. So, kindly stop bugging me.’ I said, my tone icy cold.

I knew if I kept sticking my nose in their business, one day Chloe might come at me again out of jealousy.

Chloe looked super awkward, her eyes were brimming with tears. ‘Ms. Finch, I’m head over heels for Russel, so I want to stand by him, but he’s still hung up on you. I’m out of options except for coming to you.”

I was about to respond when, out of the corner of my eye, I spotted Russel in the distance. He looked stone-cold, and when he glanced at Chloe, his eyes were filled with sheer hatred.

I realized he was nothing like the Russel I knew. It felt like he was a total stranger to me.
