Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 724

What on earth could make a ruthless, detached man like Raymond Kaufman—a man with blood on his hands—obsess over Emilia for years?

To pursue her relentlessly even after knowing she had a serious boyfriend!

What kind of spell had she cast on him?!

Chloe was desperate to know.

If she could just find out, she would replicate it perfectly. She would do whatever it took to make Raymond fall in love with her instead!

But Raymond didn't answer immediately. He just looked at Chloe, a profound sadness lurking in his eyes.

"Tell me!" Chloe demanded.

"That gamble back then," Raymond said, looking right at her. "It was for our lives."

"And I lost," he added softly.

Chloe looked utterly confused. "You lost a bet, and that made you utterly devoted to her?"

"Yes." Raymond lowered his head, grabbed the bottle, and poured himself another glass. The crimson liquid looked exactly like the blood that had coated the floors and the pool that year.

Raymond recounted the events of that fateful day.

He detailed how Emilia had methodically laid her trap, engineering a brilliant reversal in an impossible situation.

That psychological warfare completely shattered the flawless, untouchable facade he had maintained for years.

She had pointed him toward a way out.

She taught him that if he wanted to protect the people around him, he had to fight tooth and nail for it. Even if he ended up bruised and battered, he had to keep going.

She made him believe he was capable of it.

So, he fought like hell, and in the end, he succeeded.

Though he had barely survived a hundred dangerous situations along the way, he had ultimately made it.

Without a doubt, if it hadn't been for that life-or-death psychological war, he would still be the same reckless, cynical Raymond.

When everyone else feared him and misunderstood him, she was the one who threw herself into the game. She used her own blood to make him see reality, even if everything she did that day was to save Tyler.

She was the only woman capable of tearing through the bullshit and striking directly at his core.

In the brutal, blood-soaked days that followed, whenever he was pushed to the brink of giving up, the memory of her was the pillar that kept him standing.
