He Gave Her Strawberries, Gave Me Hives (Ford and Sylvia) novel Chapter 121

hapter 23

This realization was a hundred times more painful than simply losing her!

He hadn’t just lost love, he had been utterly crushed in his career, and in such a public way!

That night, Felix went alone to the bar he and Stella used to frequent and drank himself into a stupor.

He poured shot after shot of hard liquor down his throat, but nothing could extinguish the bitterness and regret in his heart.

At some point, a familiar figure sat down next to him. It was his childhood friend, Ryan.

yan looked at Felix’s devastated state without a shred of sympathy, instead sneering, “What’s this? The great President Vance drowning his sorrows? You inally feeling some regret? Too bad, it’s too late!”

Felix looked up with drunken, hazy eyes.

yan continued to rub salt in the wound. “Look at Archer Hayes. Family, looks, ability, he’s got it all. And most importantly, he genuinely cherishes and protects Stella! How is he not better than you in every way? How good was Stella to you back then? You were the one who didn’t appreciate it, got your head turned by some classless trash! And now look, you’ve lost everything!”

Stop talking… please… just stop…” Felix clutched his head in anguish, his voice hoarse and thick with sobs. “I must have been out of my damn mind back then! I vas a complete and utter bastard!”

However, no amount of repentance or pain could bring back the woman who had once loved him so deeply, the woman he had pushed away with his own

lands.

What he had lost was not just a love, not just a business competition, but his entire life.

The divorce proceedings with Hazel were handled very quickly.

elix used every resource and method at his disposal, giving Hazel no opportunity to cause trouble.

fe gave her a massive settlement, enough for her to live extravagantly for the rest of her life, but the conditions were extremely strict–she had to completely enounce custody and visitation rights to their son, and she had to leave the city immediately, never to return.

fazel cried, she threw tantrums, she even threatened suicide.

Sut Felix’s heart was already as hard as iron. Looking at her face, twisted with resentment, he felt nothing but profound annoyance.

n the end, with the “assistance” of lawyers and bodyguards, Hazel took the money and was put on a plane out of the city like a piece of discarded trash.

As for the child, Felix sent him directly to the Vance family estate to be looked after by nannies and his mother. He himself couldn’t bear to look at the boy

gain. The child’s existence was a constant reminder of his foolish and shameful past.

Having removed the “obstacle” of Hazel, Felix felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted, but he felt no relief. Instead, he was consumed by a stronger, almost paranoid anxiety–he had to win Stella back, and soon! He could not tolerate the thought of her truly belonging to another man!

However, just as he was meticulously planning his “win back the wife” campaign, an unexpected incident occurred.

Hazel, exiled from the city, was filled with resentment and bitterness.

She blamed Stella for everything.

Before she left, she secretly found the address of Stella’s studio and showed up there.

That day, Stella had just finished an important media interview and was leaving her studio to meet Archer for dinner. Like a ghost, Hazel darted out from a corner and blocked her path.

“Stella Winter! You bitch!” Hazel’s eyes were bloodshot, her usual feigned gentleness gone, her face contorted with rage. “It was you! You ruined everything for me! You think you’ve won?! Let me tell you, Felix is mine! Don’t you even think about stealing him back!”

Stella looked at the crazed woman before her, her brow furrowed, her eyes cold. “Ms. Miller, please have some self–respect. What happens between you and Felix has nothing to do with me. Please move.”

‘Nothing to do with you?!” Hazel shrieked with laughter, her voice dripping with venom. “Stop acting so high and mighty! If you weren’t haunting him, why Would Felix leave me?! You homewrecker!”
