Arabella doesn’t need your compensation.”
The words were cruel, but Samuel said them anyway.
Samuel said, “Jay, the damage you did to Arabella is already done. You want to compensate her only to make yourself feel better, to stop being tormented by guilt.”
Samuel said, “Just as you chose to hurt her back then, that was your choice. Now, Arabella choosing not to give you a chance to absolve your guilt-that’s her choice.”
He had said it long ago: Jayceon and Arabella were both Scorpios.
When the two of them got together, it was either a perfect match or a fatal blow.
Back then, Jayceon had used Arabella’s love for him to hurt her recklessly.
Now, Arabella was using her decisiveness and indifference to completely crush him.
The Jayceon of today was filled with guilt and regret, tormented by a pain so great he wished he were dead.
Meanwhile, Arabella had already detached herself, personally blocking every path Jayceon might take to compensate her, watching coldly as he was consumed by the backlash of his own terrible emotions, struggling in agony with no outlet.
If Jayceon could let go of his obsession and pull himself together, that would be the best outcome.
But if he couldn’t….
Samuel didn’t dare to think any further.
The next morning, in the executive CEO’s office at the Melendez’s group.
Jayceon sat at his desk, his eyes fixed on the document in his hand, but his mind was elsewhere.
Steve called his name several times before Jayceon snapped out of it.
Jayceon looked up at Steve and couldn’t help but frown. “Take off the mask when you talk!”

Steve hesitated for a moment before taking off his mask, revealing his scratched-up face.
Jayceon: “How did the injuries get worse?”

Steve honestly told him the truth: “Last night when I got home, my wife found me covered in scratches from a woman, insisted I was fooling around, and tore into me,”
Jayceon stared at the scratches on Steve’s face, then murmured an “Oh,” and went back to work.
Steve: ”
After standing speechless before the desk for a good while, Steve couldn’t help but ask: “Mr. Melendez, should we keep following up on Dr. Palmer?”
Jayceon’s hand, holding the pen, paused for a moment.
He instructed Steve: “Notify all departments to terminate all project collaborations with the Caldwell group.”
Steve’s expression tightened: “Mr. Melendez, shouldn’t we discuss this with Mr. Melendez before making a decision?”
The Melendez’s group and the Caldwell group had collaborated for many years. If the Melendez’s group unilaterally terminated the partnership, the financial loss would be a small matter; their own president would certainly face criticism from other partners and pressure from the board.
Jayceon insisted: “Execute the order.”
Since his own president insisted, Steve had no choice but to comply.
The news reached Henry, the head of the Caldwell family, immediately.
Henry’s face changed drastically after he hung up the phone.
Linda, lying in her hospital bed, touched her pregnant belly and said with a dissatisfied tone: “Honey, can you please not work when you’re with me?”
Henry stood by the hospital bed and said to Linda with a serious expression: “Linda, I’m over fifty and finally having a child late in life. I’ve spoiled you and let you do whatever you want, but you should never, ever have offended Mr. Melendez’s ex-wife!”
Linda, feeling a bit guilty, tested the waters with a wheedling tone: “Honey, don’t be so serious. You said it yourself, that woman is just Mr. Melendez’s ex-wife. I’m the esteemed family matriarch of the Caldwells, do you expect me to bow and scrape and walk on eggshells around her?”

Henry shook his head in disappointment: “You offended Mr. Melendez because you wanted to get even for your niece, and in his anger, he terminated all collaboration with the Caldwell group, costing our Caldwell group tens of billions for nothing!”
Linda frantically shook her head in denial: “Honey, calm down. I promise I’ll stay far away from that woman from now on, so Mr. Melendez won’t misunderstand me again.”
“You just stay here in the hospital and focus on the pregnancy. I’m going to the Melendez family’s place.”
After Henry left, Linda, completely drained, collapsed onto the hospital bed.
Melinda, who hadn’t dared to speak up, quickly came over to console Linda: “Auntie, Georgina brought this on herself. Back then, she returned to the country with that bastard child, Jayceon was disgusted and refused to touch her or get back together, I pleaded with her to just take the money Jayceon gave her and live her own life, but she stubbornly refused to listen, and in the end, she was ruined by Jayceon’s hands,”
