Chapter 2727
"They would rather give up your company than let me go! Do you understand that?"
Dash was speechless. If Deacon was so embarrassed that he wanted to hide in a hole on the ground earlier, then at that moment, Dash was the one who was feeling as embarrassed and ostracized as Deacon did. His face was already extremely hot, and like a rising bun, every layer of his face was about to explode.
Eevonne kept looking straight at him. "Just because I used to date you, you repeatedly forced me, and you played tricks to corner me over and over again! Is there a difference between what you did and how I pestered you back then? I kept pestering you back then because I could not move on from you! What about you? How despicable and nasty are you right now? Cross your heart and ask yourself, is your conscience clear?
Mister Long!"
"Enough!" Dash suddenly lifted his head. His face has already become purplish-red in color, but his expression was very sincere. "I'm sorry, Eevonne. I've failed you. I was too cocky. I thought that I could control you. I thought that I could trample on you however I wanted. If you fought back, even if it was just a little, I would feel that I would lose face. Therefore, I kept making things difficult for you. I kept pushing the limit. Actually, I've also realized later on that you were drastically different from before and you've changed a lot. I...to be honest, I even like you a little. Don't blame Phoebe anymore. The reason she targeted you like that was that she realized I was a little distracted by you. I even actually called out your name in front of her once. She was so shocked that she had a huge fight with me. In fact, I was very shocked as well at that time. How could I call out your name without realizing it? I have been reluctant to admit that I have fallen for you once again. I hate that I'm such a loser. The more I hate myself, the more I hate you! I hate that you messed up everything for me. Therefore, I kept wanting to take you away from my thoughts and drive you out of the bottom of my heart. That's the reason why I kept making things difficult for you over and over again and forcing you to a dead end. I'm the one who got Deacon here as well. The reason I got Deacon to come over was that I wanted to make myself realize clearly that you have not changed at all and you're still an incredibly nasty person after Deacon exposed you. I wanted Deacon to come forward and testify against you so that I can completely get rid of you from my heart. However, it's at this moment that I realized clearly that I am wrong. All of these are my fault. We've already broken up. We don't owe each other anything anymore. I shouldn't have closed in on you like that anymore. I shouldn't have gone overboard with how I treat you, and I shouldn't have forced you so viciously into a dead end."
Speaking of that, Dash actually smiled miserably.
"In the end, not only did I fail to force you into a dead end, but I pushed myself into a dead end. Eevonne, you've also shown me once again how you've changed, your ability, and your strength. To be honest, you've already exceeded me greatly. Regardless if it's mentally or professionally, you've exceeded me. I, on the other hand, was even worse than a clown. I've shot myself in the foot. I'll accept my punishment. No matter how much the Ford Group is going to fine me, I won't refute. I'll resign as soon as I return to my company and I'll leave the fashion industry from now on. I certainly will learn from this painful lesson, and I'll be a righteous person in the future. At the very moment and at this place, I won't be asking anyone to forgive me."
Upon saying that, Dash looked at Phoebe again. "Phoebe, I've failed you. You're a good girl. I'm the one who made you feel jealous of Eevonne. I've also implicated your father. I'm sorry. If you guys wanted to punish someone, punish me then. It's all my fault. Eevonne is a very strong and good girl who has the courage to make corrections. We've gone overboard with how we treated her."
