Chapter 14 Julia truly couldn't understand Keith's pain . Just like three years ago , she couldn't understand why , despite the love they had once shared , Keith had shattered their promises for a woman he'd known for barely three months . Then , after everything became irreversible , he came crying about his regret and tried to hold on to someone who had already left . " But I never wanted a divorce ! " Keith's chest heaved as he shouted , the corners of his red . He looked like he was in unbearable pain . eyes tinged " Jules , I know you're uncomfortable with Catherine around , so I fired her and kicked her out of Jorvain . I can promise you that no company under Carson Group will ever hire her hire her again . Could you please not fall for someone else ? Could you give me one more Hearing Keith say Catherine's name again after three years left Julia momentarily dazed . Who would've imagined it ? The woman who once boasted she'd replace her - and even tried multiple times to take her life - had now been thrown out of Jorvain in disgrace . With Carson Group blacklisting Catherine across the board , every smaller firm that relied on the group would avoid her , and even major companies with status would think twice before hiring her . This meant Catherine's days ahead would be anything but easy . But what did any of that have to do with Julia now ? She remained still , showing no emotion as she watched him break down in front of her . After a long pause , she let out a quiet laugh . Keith thought she had relented , but then she shook her head . " Keith , if you had done all this three years ago , maybe we wouldn't have ended up like this . But did you forget ? You brought all of this upon yourself . " He was the one who kept Catherine at his side . He was the one who turned a blind eye when Catherine overstepped , giving her the nerve to keep challenging Julia . And even though he knew exactly what to do once he realized Julia despised Catherine , he never acted on it - until it was too late . at toothpas Keith froze . He wanted to argue , to say it wasn't true , but then he realized everything Julia said. was completely right . Yet , he couldn't accept walking away just like that . " Keith , you say you never thought about divorce , but did you ever ask your own heart? Did it ever waver ? Back then, what were you really thinking ? You were thinking you still had a hundred chances to hurt me . " The moment she finished speaking , Keith completely lost the ability to respond . A storm of resistance tore through his chest , urging him to stop Julia from leaving . But his legs were as heavy as stone . He couldn't even lift them . " Jules , I'm sorry … " Chapter 14 2/2 Those were the only words Keith could utter . He didn't know what else to say . But not every apology earned forgiveness . Julia had never forgotten the pain and turmoil she had endured during that time . Why should a half - hearted apology be enough for her to let go of everything she had suffered ? " Keith , if you really feel sorry , then stop showing up . That would be the best apology you could give . " With that , she walked right past him without stopping for even a second . Dark clouds layered over one another . The air was so heavy it was hard to breathe . Keith stood frozen in place , like a stone statue - left behind and forgotten . Raindrops came pelting down , hitting the ground and landing on him . His expensive tailored suit was completely drenched . Rain soaked his hair , and wet strands clung to his face . A few neighbors from the same villa district passed by , pausing in surprise at the sight . No one approached or greeted him , but by the end of the day , nearly everyone in high society had heard what happened -the CEO of Carson Group had stood in the rain all day , heartbroken over love . The news spread like wildfire and quickly reached Calvin . When he saw the photo going viral in the group chat , he couldn't help but scoff . " What a performance . " お客 Chapter 15
