Chapter 10
Ryan suddenly had an awakening and started coming to see me every day, saying he regretted
everything.
He even sent Coral abroad without giving her a penny, leaving her to fend for herself, trying to prove his sincerity to me.
But Ryan’s company was precisely targeted by Theodore and his powerful international associates, who systematically attacked all his business interests.
Combined with the fact that I took most of our shared assets in the divorce, he was crushed
repeatedly until he could barely recover.
When I saw Ryan again, he was standing outside my house.
His entire body was covered in wrinkles, his eye sockets sunken, with extremely heavy dark circles.
As soon as I stepped out, our eyes met.
Ryan immediately rushed toward me with excitement.
“Claire, I was wrong. Don’t marry Theodore. You didn’t choose him back then, did you? He can’t truly care about you–he’s just trying to get revenge on us.”
“Only I truly love you. I’ve sent away the person you disliked, and from now on, you’ll be the only one in my life. Please don’t leave me.”
“Can you forgive me just this once? And save our company too, please?”
But I just stared coldly at the man before me.
I suddenly couldn’t remember how I had ever fallen for him in the first place.
“Stop dreaming, Ryan. I’m engaged to Theodore now, and I have no intention of changing my mind.”
“As for what you said about the past–that was my mistake. I was blind to fall in love with a bastard like you and nearly ruined my life.”
Ryan refused to give up and kept begging me.

Chapter 10
“Don’t be so cruel, Claire. I truly realize my mistake now. It was all Coral’s fault–she manipulated me, clouded my judgment, made me lose my head.”
“I do love you. I truly regret everything.”
I forcefully shook off his outstretched hand and stepped back defensively.
“Are you really sorry, or are you just scared because you’re about to lose everything?”
“Ryan, do you have any idea how helpless I felt abroad? Don’t think that just because we’re back in the country you can escape legal punishment. I won’t let you off the hook.”
Ryan looked up in pain, about to say something more.
Suddenly, a woman in tattered clothes rushed out and lunged at him, punching and cursing.
“Ryan Morgan, you bastard! You abandoned me overseas and I almost died!”
