What a fool! How could that woman be so foolish?
“Carrie witnessed it. If you can’t trust anyone else, at least trust Carrie. Seriously, it blows my mind that
you don’t remember that incident with her. It’s downright absurd!”
“I don’t know… I honestly don’t know…”
Justin’s head throbbed with pain as he clutched it. “That night was my mother’s death anniversary. I
was in a bad mood and drank too much alcohol. After that, I started having these explicit dreams about
Be out of nowhere. I thought it was just a dream. I never thought
we actually had sex…”
“Two years ago! I remember you breaking up with Rosalind at that time. You told me you’d definitely
get back together with Rosalind and divorce Be because Be meant nothing to you.”
Ryan continued, “Isn’t that right, Justin? Do you remember the mean things you said back then?”
Every word from Ryan felt like a knife stabbing into Justin’s heart. Each word he said was a p to his
soul. He sank into the sofa, haunted by the memory of Be’s tearful and resentful gaze.
Justin thought, ‘What was going through Be’s mind that night two years ago? How deep was her love
for me? She even endured such torment and cruelty, yet she still chose to stay by my side. I really
deserve to suffer. Asher’s knife should have cut deeper.’
“Justin, I actually think you fell in love with Be a long time ago. It’s
just that you’ve never understood the true meaning of love and how to truly love someone. You’ve
always been manipted by Rosalind, blinded by her past kindness toward you, so you couldn’t see
Be for
who she was. You couldn’t confront your own emotions.”
Ryan shook his head in a mix of anger and disappointment toward his best friend. “I came here today
to tell you all of this. Initially, I wanted to urge you not to let go of Be. I wanted you to fight for her and
to persevere no matter what. But now, seeing Asher’s attitude towards you, I’m starting to believe that
perhaps some missed opportunities are simply fate’s way of intervening. Perhaps you and Be aren’t
destined to be together. Forcing it would only cause more pain for the both of you. Besides, Be
values her family deeply. Asher’s stance is clear. He won’t ept you, and neither will the Thompson
family.
Even if Be still has feelings for you in her heart, even if the both of you somehow reconcile, can you
truly be happy together?”

There were too many unresolved issues that stood between them.
Ryan couldn’t even bring himself to persuade Be to take Justin back, as it would only bring her more
suffering.
“Ryan..”
Justin’s voice was heavy with defeat, his gaze weary and tired. “I want to meet Be… I want to
apologize to her.”

Christopher was deeply concerned upon hearing about Be’s car ident, so he rushed to the
hospital to visit her that very night.
“Mr. Iverson, Mr. Asher went to the Salvador Corporation today and caused a scene with Justin. It
stirred up quite amotion, and
some of Salvador Corporation’s staff even ended up getting hurt.” Taylor reported eagerly to
Christopher.
Christopher’s sharp eyes narrowed slightly. “Oh? What exactly happened?”
“I couldn’t gather all the details about what happened between Mr. Thompson and Justin. But knowing
how protective Mr. Thompson is
over his sister, he wouldn’t cause such amotion unless it was for
Ms. Thompson’s sake.”
Christopher’s eyes darkened slightly. ‘Could Be’s car ident somehow be connected to Justin?
There must have been something

significant that triggered Asher, who was usuallyposed and
calm, tosh out at Justin.’
“Regardless, from my perspective, this incident may be a blessing in
disguise,” Christopher said with a faint, mockingugh. “Previously,
Asher always looked down on me and sided with Justin. He even tried
to set Be up with that bastard, Justin. Now that they’ve had a
falling out, it puts Justin and me on the same starting line. Perha
have an advantage now.”
“Absolutely! Your advantage is far superior. How could someone like
that bastard, Justin, evenpare to someone as noble as you? That
would be an insult to you.”
