Chapter 161 Regret
She had a tough attitude, but he wasn’t angry.
It was as if she was the only one who was angry.
Nathaniel didn’t care about her feelings, and said to himself, “I remember one night when I came back and saw you holding a book. It’s about market operations. You said you couldn’t understand it, and you just flipped through it casually. It’s not actually true, is it?”
Hearing this, Janet asked. “So what? Mr. Webster, do you want to settle scores with me? Do you think that I had some ill intentions by your
side before?”
“I didn’t mean it that way.” Nathaniel rubbed his hair in frustration. ‘Janet, can you stop talking to me like this? No matter what, I used to be
your husband.”
He just suddenly thought of some details that he didn’t care much about in the past. If he paid a little attention to them at that time, he might find something.
Then…
Perhaps they wouldn’t divorce.
“You used to be my husband,” Janet chuckled as if she had heard a joke. “I’m no longer that stupid woman before. Mr. Webster, do you think anyone will smile at their ex–husband?”
Their relationship now was like a thorn in Nathaniel’s heart, and the word “ex–husband” that Janet spoke of had pushed that thorn one
inch closer into his heart.
If he had stopped her from leaving at that time, if he had refused to sign, and if he hadn’t gone to the courthouse…
A feeling of regret spread from the bottom of his heart.
Janet glanced at the time. It had been almost half an hour since she had left the venue, and the organizer had probably come to an agreement, so she was ready to return to the venue.
Before she went back, she had told Nathaniel honestly.
“Nathaniel, no matter what kind of intentions you have, whether you are curious or regretful, please stay away from me. Done is done, so
don’t mention it again.”
After saying this, Janet turned around and left.
Looking at her back, Nathaniel had an illusion that he would never be able to get her again from now on.
In the lounge.
Nigel, Earl and Colin sat together, and the atmosphere was depressing.
It had been almost half an hour, but they still had not reached a consensus. None of them were convinced.
Nigel clearly expressed his standpoint. He absolutely supported Janet, but Earl and Colin did not agree with him.
“Mr. Wheeler, this is business. You can’t decide while being influenced by personal feelings. Choosing the Webster Group is obviously the
safest option.” Earl tried to persuade Nigel.
“How will you know if you don’t try?” Nigel’s eyes were cold. “As you can see, the Longfellow Group’s stock prices are soaring. Janet just lacks practical experience. She needs practice. Moreover, sometimes, the experience will affect creativity. I don’t have to explain this in
detail.”
Earl and Colin looked at each other, their eyes full of embarrassment.
Although they were the organizers, in the end, the APP’s copyright was under Nigel’s name. If Nigel insisted, they could only do as Nigel
said in the end.
“Mr. Wheeler, why did you choose an unknown risk instead of a reliable method?” Colin asked him, “You are not such an irrational person. I
know that you like Janet, but…”
“That’s enough.
“This has nothing to do with whether I like her or not,” Nigel interrupted in a deep voice.
