Chapter 25
The phone rang again. “Mr. Morley, Emelia wants to see you. She said if you don’t come, she will kill herself.”
On the phone, Emelia’s voice came through, “Nathan, I really didn’t lie to you. The person who has been with you from start to finish is me. Why don’t you believe me?”
His subordinates asked how to deal with Emelia, Nathan smiled bitterly, how to deal with her? What could he do?
The whole thing was his own fault from start to finish. Can pushing the blame onto Emelia make things go back to the way they were originally?
Another phone call came in, it was about Zane.
It is true that many companies of the Renner Group were on the verge of bankruptcy, but the Renner Group’s industries flourished. From small chain snack shops to large chain resorts, the Renner Group held full control in different ways. He was not at all a poor kid on the brink of bankruptcy.
He thought that he could rest assured that Katie would reap what she had sown, living in misery, and ultimately spending her whole life in pain and regret.
Regretting falling for him, she agonized over her choices that had led. them both to a point of no return.
Now he realizes that he could have held them both firmly in his hands. forever, securely in control.
He would look down on her with the attitude of a god, and he would also

spy on her like a despicable voyeur.
In any case, her life will always be closely connected with him.
But now he realized that the industry, wealth, and means of the Renner Group were beyond his imagination.
The people below started to give him feedback one by one.
“I don’t know.”
“I don’t know.”
“Not sure.”
“Not found.”
Waste, all of it is waste.
Nathan threw his phone against the wall, the shattered screen mirroring his shattered heart.
Tattered, broken, unable to be restored.
But really, is there no way
out?
He went to Emelia’s house and took back everything that belonged to Katie, one by one, each containing evidence of his love for her.
But he himself handed these over to someone else.
It was him who first trampled on his love for her.
After tidying up and putting away these things, he went to the bridal shop again.
Seeing that they had already closed the store and were not receiving customers, he decided to barge in directly. Inside, the designers were all

working hard to make the same wedding dress. There was no need to guess, this wedding dress was definitely designed and meticulously crafted by Zane for Katie.
Just the thought of the girl who used to be all his, carrying their baby, marrying another man, saying “I do” to another man, made him feel like he couldn’t breathe, like he might as well be dead.
He felt that before he died, he must destroy that wedding dress. She couldn’t wear such a beautiful dress and smile at others. Just imagining that scene made his heart feel like it was about to explode.
But what if she smiled at him?
Nathan finally regained a bit of sanity. This wedding dress was the only thing he knew of now that would connect him to her.
If it was destroyed, he would never ever have the chance to find her again. and ask for her forgiveness.
He came out from inside and then paid a high price to hire a professional private detective to keep an eye on this wedding dress, to see where it would ultimately end up.
What he wanted was information about the girl who would wear this wedding dress.
After finishing this task, Nathan found himself incredibly empty. The nets he cast, the people he sent out, all had no response.
In the silent, pitch–black night where only the sound of heartbeats could. be heard, he felt extremely lonely.
The little girl who promised to be with him for a lifetime broke her promise.
If it were in the past, Katie would have rushed towards him, comforting

him and staying by his side.
He no longer managed the company. Instead, he locked himself in his room every day to paint portraits of Katie. Ten, a hundred, a thousand.
Finally, on the 9999th sheet, he heard a message.
Katie was in Switzerland.
