His Regret Arrived Three Days Late novel Chapter 189

Unfortunately for him, he ended up in jail while Jordan walked away scot-free. It remained a sore spot for Wayne.

Seeing Annika’s silence, Wayne continued, "I was drunk driving. The woman I injured… it was her."

After a moment of contemplation, Annika asked, "Wayne, did you find any connection between her and my father?"

Wayne looked surprised. "Your father? You mean… Mr. Sargent?"

Seeing Annika's grave expression, he seemed to understand and quickly replied, "I'll go check again."

About ten minutes later, Wayne re-entered Annika's office. "This is explosive, Ms. Sargent. I can't believe even a man like your father would…"

Seeing Annika's pale face, he swallowed the word 'stumble.'

Annika took the new file from Wayne containing information about her father and Lydia. When her eyes fell on a property deed with the name 'Marcus Sargent' on it, she froze, her voice trembling. "I never knew my father owned this building."

Wayne replied, "Of course you didn't. Mr. Sargent bought it for Lydia privately. Rumor has it, he even promised her a lavish wedding. But then, the Sargent Group ran into trouble. Before that happened, Lydia even worked in the finance department for a month. There are whispers that she was the one who emptied the company's accounts. Ms. Sargent, your father fell for her charms!"

It was the oldest story in the book. And Marcus had been no exception.

The news hit Annika like a bolt of lightning, leaving her stunned and disoriented. In her mind, her father had always been a towering, noble figure. Now, that image had completely crumbled.
