When Caelan saw me, he rushed over and grabbed my wrist. “Nellie, we still need to talk about everything. How can you just leave like that? You can’t do this to me!
“We started the company together. Can you bear to see it fall apart?”
Caelan looked tired, and his eyes were red.
It was obvious he had not been getting any rest lately.
I smirked at him and said, “So, you know you can’t manage without me? But didn’t you always look down on me and want to replace me?
“What? Can’t your assistant help you?
“And just so you know, we’re strangers now. I’m not interested in helping someone who has nothing to do with me.”
Caelan looked at me in desperation.
I shook off his hand and turned to leave.
But Caelan ran after me and hugged me. He refused to give up. “Nellie, I was wrong. I only made this one mistake. Can you forgive me?
“I won’t think less of you anymore. I will always love you!
“Please, come back to me. I can’t live without you!”
Hearing his insincere words made me feel sick.
Just then, Isabel appeared with a group of reporters. She pointed at Caelan and said, “This is my boss. He’s the one who took advantage of me! He took my innocence and lied to me about taking responsibility, but now, he’s still messing around with his ex–wife!
“Please help me, everyone!”
Caelan looked shocked when he saw this.
I calmly looked at the noisy crowd and warned them, “Which company are you with? Why aren’t you wearing your press badges?
“If you take pictures of me without the proper permissions, I will sue you. Just wait for the consequences. You might even lose your jobs.”
Upon hearing that, the reporters looked uneasy and lowered their cameras.
But Isabel kept shouting, “I want everyone to know what kind of people you two are! I’m doing this to warn other girls! I’m just being a good person!”
When Caelan heard her accusations, he finally snapped back to reality. He shouted angrily, “Stop bothering us! Leave now, or I’ll call the police!”
Isabel was not scared. She was no longer the sweet girl she used to act like. Instead, she sneered and said, “Caelan, I never thought I’d see you this scared! Didn’t you think about this when you slapped me
