"Coco, let’s go."
Before they could leave, Ryan Richard rushed to catch up with them. It seed his preparation for this eting wasn’t comprehensive. After Charlotte Thompson’s sarcasm, he seed ready to accept defeat.
"Sophie Allen, you cannot leave, you owe an explanation."
Looking at the man before her with a desperate deanor and eyes full of longing, Charlotte suddenly felt a pang of pity. She wanted to hear about how miserably he had lived these past few years, just to amuse herself.
Embracing Coco, she reassured her that everything was alright. Then with an ironic gaze, she turned to Ryan, "Explanation? What do I owe you?"
She found it amusing. Her youth, her ti, her love, and her trust, she once gave it all to the man standing in front of her unreservedly.
But what did she receive in return?
His and Emily Allen’s blatant betrayal, nauseatingly absurd.
And now, he dared to unashadly appear in front of her, presuming to demand her forgiveness and an explanation?
She really couldn’t believe anything could be more preposterous than this.
Ryan firmly caught hold of her hand, "When you suddenly disappeared, the perfu project could not be handed over, do you know how much pressure I was under..."
Ryan never really understood the perfu business; the Richard Corporation didn’t have the resources to hire a top perfur. He solely depended on Charlotte for everything, hoping that with her help, he could establish a firm hold in the Richard Corporation and lead it to new heights.
However, not only did the plan fail, but Richard Corporation was also on the brink of bankruptcy due to poor managent. He was now desperate to overco his current predicant, which was why he set his sight on Charlotte.
At that ti, the Richard Corporation was being bombarded daily with calls from creditors. Ryan and his father were drowned in the shareholders’ abuse, pressure from banks, and demands from all kinds of partners for their debts. Ryan was almost driven mad in his office, his phone continuously ringing, a pile of docunts that needed to be reprocessed... all the pressure almost suffocating him.
At that ti, he desperately needed to implent Charlotte’s project plan, kickstart the new perfu project. However, he continuously dialed Sophie Allen’s number on his phone.
"Answer your phone Sophie! Answer your phone!"
But no matter how many calls he made, Sophie Allen never returned.
Later, Sophie Allen’s student information at Emperor University was also cancelled, and everyone believed Sophie Allen was dead.
Without Sophie Allen, Richard Corporation couldn’t use Sophie Allen’s hard work. They even encountered a comrcial blow, leaving them barely surviving till today, on the verge of bankruptcy.
At that ti, Ryan, in a foul mood, got drunk in a bar and ended up getting in a car accident.
He has tried other jobs over the years, but with his abilities and willpower, he has not been successful at anything.
Until now, when he ca looking for Charlotte Thompson.
After hearing his story, Charlotte sneered. Surprisingly, the story was quite compelling but it did nothing to evoke any sympathy from her.
Ryan spoke passionately, the subtle shifts in his emotional state were apparent on his face, depicting the difficulties he faced over the years. However, none of these could stir any feelings within Charlotte.
"Get lost!"
Charlotte spoke again, completely unwilling to see this man.
It seed as if seeing him for even a second longer would make her throw up the food she had consud.
She tried to leave with Coco but Ryan, with no self-respect left, clung to her legs and made her uncomfortable in public.
Even as the man at her feet continued to state his woes as if howling like a dog, she could only feel a sense of revulsion, "Ryan Richard, you deserved it! You all deserved it!"
Coco tried to help her by pushing the man away, but the man was stubbornly terrifying.
