The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2861

She was determined to gain Nolan's favor, stubbornly bypassing the path of privilege her father had meticulously laid out for her. Did Regina truly believe that her sheer will could thaw Nolan's icy heart?

Unknown to her, the original documents she sought were safely hidden by him; what she found in his study would be nothing but a mere photocopy.

Regina, sneaking into her father's study, remained blissfully ignorant of this fact. When she finally discovered the tiny chip she was looking for, she felt an appreciation for luck and a rush of guilty relief, silently apologizing to her father in her mind.

She knew that the Tanner Group desperately needed the Harris family's investment, and she silently vowed to help her father secure it once she had made amends with Nolan. After all, she was a Tanner too, and she had reaped the benefits of being part of such an influential family. In times of crisis, she wouldn't turn her back on them.

But she had principles. She wouldn't allow her father to resort to such underhanded tactics to threaten or entrap Nolan. She didn't want to be part of such a scheme.

She contacted Nolan after getting the thing. She opted for a text message, fearing he wouldn't want to hear her voice. She urged him to meet her.

Meanwhile, Nolan sat at his desk, contemplating his mother's question. Did he truly have no feelings for Regina?

If that were the case, why would he agree to such an absurd marriage arrangement? Francis' threats were inconsequential to Nolan. What he cared about was whether Regina was part of it.
