His Regret Arrived Three Days Late novel Chapter 121

A black Cayenne cruised down the road. When Harvey saw it, he deliberately rolled down his window and gave the Cayenne a thumbs-down before stomping on the gas, leaving it far behind.

Inside the Cayenne, Nolan noticed the damage to Harvey’s car. "Mr. Beryl," he said to the man in the back seat, "their trunk is completely smashed in."

Conrad, resting with his eyes closed, seemed uninterested.

Nolan added, "I think it was Donovan Tyson who hit them."

Conrad’s eyes snapped open. "Stop the car," he commanded, his voice sharp.

Nolan pulled over by a stretch of greenery. He got out and stood respectfully as Conrad exited, walked around the front, and slid into the driver's seat.

The Cayenne shot off in pursuit of Donovan's car. Seeing he was being followed, Donovan glanced back just as the Cayenne rammed into him with a grating screech of metal on metal.

He was about to kill the engine when another powerful jolt sent his car lurching forward a couple of meters. Furious, Donovan stormed out of his car and yelled at the Cayenne, "What the hell is wrong with—"

The word "you" died in his throat. The driver's side window rolled down, revealing Conrad's ice-cold face. The pieces clicked into place: he had just hit Annika's car, and now Conrad was hitting his. Clearly, this was payback.

A shiver went down Donovan’s spine. "Conrad," he stammered, trying to explain, "I was just angry. She doesn't even want you anymore. What's the point in protecting her?"

Conrad wasn't interested in a discussion. "Don't ever do something like this again," he warned, his tone leaving no room for argument. "Otherwise, don't blame me for forgetting our friendship. I'll cover the cost of the repairs."

His message was clear: only he was allowed to give Annika a hard time. With that, Conrad drove away.

Fuming, Donovan pulled out his phone and made a miserable call to Justin.

Annika frowned, skeptical. "Layla, that's impossible."

"The list just came out, I saw it myself! Sargent Group is on it. It’s not a huge investment project, but it’s not like the current Sargent Group could handle a massive one anyway!"

Annika couldn't deny the surge of happiness she felt. All her life, she had been sheltered by her father, never wanting for anything. To achieve something through her own efforts brought a joy that was impossible to describe.

The next day, Beryl Group officially notified Sargent Group to sign the contract. Annika was ecstatic that they had secured the partnership and celebrated with Harvey that night by popping a bottle of champagne.

After returning to the Sargent Villa, she packed a suitcase, gathered a small team, and immediately left for the southern part of Seafall City. She needed to scout the location and determine how much capital would be needed to get the resort project with Beryl Group off the ground.
