Drowning Him In Regret novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Filing For Divorce

Jude’s words hit me right in the heart.

Having been together with me for so many years, he knew best what mattered to me, so he didn’t mince his words when hurting me.

I forced my eyes open, trying hard not to cry and not to let my eyes turn red. Especially not in front of him and Vivian, I didn’t want to look so vulnerable.

In the end, I just nodded and left the office directly.

He was right. I didn’t have a say in the Carson Group, so naturally, I couldn’t represent

them.

Everyone knew I was an unwanted Mrs. Carson, so my promises only represented myself. But I had to take responsibility for this and give Russell an explanation.

When I got to his company, Russell threw a cup right in front of me.

The cup shatters into pieces, causing a loud smack.

“Ada, you can’t do business like this! Do you know I adjusted production schedules for the Carson Group project?” he roared. “Now you pull this on me. Are we not going to cooperate anymore?”

I had no defense this time.

The Carson Group partnership had already gone to Skydiver Material, so there was no way we could work with Russell anymore.

I kept apologizing, trying to calm his anger.

But Russell was really mad. He stood up, pushed me by the shoulders, and demanded me to leave.

Suddenly, I felt something flowing from my nose, and then I saw the horrified look in Russell’s eyes.

“Ada, Mrs. Carson, Ada!” he shouted, all panicky.

I gently wiped my nose. Seeing the red blood, I was momentarily stunned.

Then Russell yelled loudly, “Call 911, quick!”

I wanted to tell him I was fine, probably just a side effect from the injection. But I couldn’t say a word and just collapsed.

I didn’t fully faint; there was still some consciousness left in me.

Successfully unlocked!

It seemed like many people lifted me into an ambulance; there were chaotic footsteps around me, and someone kept calling my name.

When I woke up, it was already dark outside.

Chapter 24 Filing For Divorce

Russell and his wife were sitting by my bed; seeing me awake, they quickly gathered

around.

“Ms. Watson, are you okay? Is there anywhere that hurts?” Mrs. Morrison was a kind- looking woman, all worried as she looked at me.

I gently shook my head and started with an apology, “I’m really sorry, Mr. Morrison. The deal didn’t go through, and I made you worry.”

“Forget it. It’s not your fault. I know you’ve had it tough.” Russell waved his hand, and I could see he was genuinely upset too.

Losing such a big order would make anyone mad–it was more than just a financial hit.

Mrs. Morrison poured me a glass of water and shot Russell a glare. “Ms. Watson, the doctor said it’s a side effect from the shot but didn’t tell us what shot.

“Russell just called Mr. Carson, and his secretary said he’s probably busy.” She looked at me with some hesitation, and I got the message right away.

It had been hours, and Jude hadn’t shown up–he wasn’t coming by any chance.

Vivian probably never mentioned my incident to him, or if she did, but he simply didn’t

care to see me.

I shook my head helplessly, masking my emotions, then pulled out my phone.

“Mr. Morrison, I came not just to apologize but to make amends,” I said.

Then, I forwarded the contact information of several previous collaborators to him.

“These guys have projects that need supplies, and I’ve talked to them–they’re keen to work with your company.

“I know it’s the Carson Group’s fault this time, and apologies don’t cut it. It falls to you to renegotiate with them, and I apologize for the trouble,” I said, all guilty to him.

Seeing the contacts on his phone, Russell finally gave a smile involuntarily.

Then he sighed, “Ms. Watson, why go to such lengths?”

I smiled back, not knowing how to explain.

They all knew about my situation, so they called me “Ms. Watson” instead of “Mrs. Carson.”

The doctor finally confirmed it was just a drug side effect, nothing serious.

The Morrisons insisted on driving me home, but I refused.

It was okay to show weakness for work, but I didn’t want pity every time people saw
