His Regret Arrived Three Days Late novel Chapter 30

“Fine.” Annika nodded, her expression eerily calm. She smoothed out her wrinkled clothes, pulled the new IV from her hand, and walked out of the hospital room without a backward glance.

She didn't see the way his tightly shut eyes slowly opened after she left, or the raw, bloodshot anguish that filled them as he stared at the empty doorway, frozen in place.

The Beryl Group’s official statement announcing Conrad and Annika’s divorce sent shockwaves through every social media platform. The news of the heir’s divorce dominated headlines for days.

In the fallout, the Sargent Group’s creditors became even more aggressive in their demands.

Annika attributed the escalating storm entirely to Conrad, believing it was his revenge for her perceived betrayal.

Tyler came to the hospital to visit Marcus. He’d lost weight in just a few days and looked haggard. When Annika asked him what was wrong, he finally admitted that his new startup was failing. He had a deal lined up with Tyson Capital Group, but just as they were about to sign, Donovan had suddenly backed out, leaving him blindsided. It had taken him days of frantic work just to find a new potential investor.

Annika recalled seeing Donovan fawning over Conrad at a club. Their close relationship seemed obvious, which only solidified her belief that Conrad was the one sabotaging Tyler’s company.

Tyler was pulled away by a call from his assistant, too overwhelmed with his own problems to offer Annika much support.

Soon, news that the Sargent Group was on the brink of bankruptcy spread like wildfire, embellished by tabloid gossip.

Reading the headlines splashed across every major news site, Conrad’s expression soured. “Who leaked the news of my divorce?” he asked Hank.

Hank hesitated. “Mr. Beryl, a divorce like yours… it’s a major event. Not just anyone would have the nerve.”

“Estelle?” Conrad’s brow furrowed.
