Chapter 161 Regret
She had a tough attitude, but he wasn’t angry.
It was as if she was the only one who was angry.
Nathaniel didn’t care about her feelings, and said to himself, “I remember one night when I came back
and saw you holding a book. It’s about market operations. You said you couldn’t understand it, and you
just flipped through it casually. It’s not actually true, is it?”
Hearing this, Janet asked. “So what? Mr. Webster, do you want to settle scores with me? Do you think
that I had some ill intentions by your
side before?”
“I didn’t mean it that way.” Nathaniel rubbed his hair in frustration. ‘Janet, can you stop talking to me
like this? No matter what, I used to be
your husband.”
He just suddenly thought of some details that he didn’t care much about in the past. If he paid a little
attention to them at that time, he might find something.
Then…
Perhaps they wouldn’t divorce.
“You used to be my husband,” Janet chuckled as if she had heard a joke. “I’m no longer that stupid
woman before. Mr. Webster, do you think anyone will smile at their ex–husband?”
Their relationship now was like a thorn in Nathaniel’s heart, and the word “ex–husband” that Janet
spoke of had pushed that thorn one
inch closer into his heart.
If he had stopped her from leaving at that time, if he had refused to sign, and if he hadn’t gone to the
courthouse…
A feeling of regret spread from the bottom of his heart.
Janet glanced at the time. It had been almost half an hour since she had left the venue, and the
organizer had probably come to an agreement, so she was ready to return to the venue.
Before she went back, she had told Nathaniel honestly.
“Nathaniel, no matter what kind of intentions you have, whether you are curious or regretful, please
stay away from me. Done is done, so
don’t mention it again.”
After saying this, Janet turned around and left.
Looking at her back, Nathaniel had an illusion that he would never be able to get her again from now
on.
In the lounge.
Nigel, Earl and Colin sat together, and the atmosphere was depressing.
It had been almost half an hour, but they still had not reached a consensus. None of them were
convinced.
Nigel clearly expressed his standpoint. He absolutely supported Janet, but Earl and Colin did not agree
with him.
“Mr. Wheeler, this is business. You can’t decide while being influenced by personal feelings. Choosing
the Webster Group is obviously the
safest option.” Earl tried to persuade Nigel.
“How will you know if you don’t try?” Nigel’s eyes were cold. “As you can see, the Longfellow Group’s
stock prices are soaring. Janet just lacks practical experience. She needs practice. Moreover,
sometimes, the experience will affect creativity. I don’t have to explain this in
detail.”
Earl and Colin looked at each other, their eyes full of embarrassment.
Although they were the organizers, in the end, the APP’s copyright was under Nigel’s name. If Nigel
insisted, they could only do as Nigel
said in the end.
“Mr. Wheeler, why did you choose an unknown risk instead of a reliable method?” Colin asked him,
“You are not such an irrational person. I
know that you like Janet, but…”
“That’s enough.
“This has nothing to do with whether I like her or not,” Nigel interrupted in a deep voice.
The atmosphere became tenser. Nigel took a deep breath and said, “I’m going out for a while. Let’s
calm down and think about it. We will
continue in five minutes.”
Having said that, he left the lounge, and Earl followed him out, leaving Colin alone in the room.
At this time, Anastasia had been waiting for Nathaniel in the meeting room for a long time, but he
hadn’t come back. She glanced at the watch. It had been almost half an hour since the organizers had
begun the discussion, and they hadn’t shown up yet.
Anastasia couldn’t help but feel a little worried.
Although Anastasia trusted Nathaniel very much, Janet had some connections with the organizers, and
Nigel was the developer of the APP. Who knew if something was going on between them? Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
She had to help Nathaniel.
She had to win his heart.
Thinking of this, Anastasia left the venue and went to the organizer’s lounge at the end of the corridor.
The door did not close tightly. She peeked through the gap in the door and found that there was only
one person inside.
It was exactly what she wanted.
Anastasia deliberately pulled down her collar, gently knocked on the door, and then pushed the door
open. She walked toward Colin.
