The Tycoon's Deepest Repentance (Sophia and Ryan) novel Chapter 222

Chapter 216: The Story of Past Lives and Present 

In his tone, there seemed to be a hint of pleading. 

Charlotte did not refuse him and nodded, saying, “Go on.” 

After all, this was their last meeting, and she had nothing to refuse 

Benjamin’s thin lips moved, and his clear voice rang in her ears, neither fast nor slow. “In a wealthy family, there was only one son. As he grew older, this son slowly transitioned from childhood to adolescence. He thought he would continue to live carefree, but at the age of eleven, his most beloved mother suddenly passed away due to illness, and life turned upside down from then on for him…” 

amin choked up in his throat for a moment and continued, “During this incredibly dark period, he met a little girl. That little girl gave him several banquets… filled with lilies…” 

When Charlotte heard the word “lilies,” her eyes paused for an extremely brief moment. 

“Later, he desperately searched for this little girl, but unfortunately, he mistook the girl’s sister for the little girl. Everything went wrong from that misidentification. For the sake of that sister, he ruthlessly hurt the girl, even causing her to lose her life.” 

“After that girl’s death, he suddenly realized that she had already engraved herself into his life. He regretted, suffered, and agonized… and then one day, fate gave him a chance, allowing him to go back in time and revealing to him who the girl was who gave him the lilies the person he was looking for, urging him not to make the same mistake again…” 

Benjamin’s voice grew lower and carried a sense of world weariness and sorrow. “So, you tell me… if he starts anew, loves that girl properly, and tries to prevent all the tragedies from happening, will he be forgiven? Will he find redemption?” 

Benjamin’s thin lips trembled as if it took great effort to finish this story. 

This was such a sorrowful tale, one that often kept Benjamin awake through the night, causing him to suffer from insomnia until morning. 

That’s right. 

What he was talking about was the story of their past lives and present. 

He had revealed everything without reservation. 

He knew that Charlotte was unaware of their past lives. She wouldn’t guess that this was the story of their two lifetimes. He simply wanted to test Charlotte’s attitude. Would she choose to forgive? 

However, on the other side, Charlotte showed no change whatsoever. She maintained her previous posture, expression, and demeanor. Like a long forgotten sculpture, motionless and silent. 

Charlotte hadn’t expected that, in this world, besides herself, there was another reincarnated being. Benjamin, he had also been reborn! Although his recent words had been vague, how could Charlotte not guess…. 

No wonder he had undergone such a sudden change in temperament, distancing himself from Eleanor and becoming infatuated with her. No wonder… 

She unconsciously clenched her fists, her facial expression still composed and cool. It’s just that she didn’t say a word. 

“Charlotte, can you tell me? Will he be forgiven?” Benjamin couldn’t help but speak, breaking the silence, and asked in a low voice, 

Charlotte stared directly at the man in front of her. Her eyes were clear, her gaze sharp. So, he still remembers, right… remembers the things he did to her in their past lifetime… 

“I…” After a long silence, Charlotte slightly parted her lips, and with a faint tone, she uttered a word. Emotions were vivid in her eyes, as if a dark storm was brewing within her. “If I were that girl, I wouldn’t forgive.” 

Forgiveness? How could she do that… 

She had barely started a new life, hoping to escape the heartache and pain from her past life. But the source of her suffering, this man named Benjamin, dared to casually ask her to forget everything and be happily with him? 

“Benjamin, why does that person in your story have the right to seek forgiveness?” Charlotte suddenly stood up, looking down at the man across from

her. Her dye time seemed to turn slightly red due to emotional fluctuations. “Do you know how precious a life is? Who cares if he recognized the wrong person or if he repented? The endless pain he brought to that girl, and the harm he caused to a living being; these are things that cannot be 

Charlotte narrowed her eyes, her expression restrained yet fierce. The calm surface she had maintained seemed to have finally cracked, revealing her vulnerability. This was her weakness, and also the pain she could never forget. Just thinking about these memories made her heart uncontrollably tremble and break. 

*Tll let you enjoy this meal by yourself. I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I won’t keep you company,” Charlotte took a deep breath and, without wanting to stay any longer, casually grabbed her bag from the side and turned to leave. 

“Charlotte!” Benjamin, seeing her about to leave, immediately stood up and rushed over at lightning speed. He grabbed Charlotte’s wrist. “Don’t go.” 

However 

Carlotte suddenly turned around, her eyes like ice, her gaze as cold as a bird’s eye, and she unexpectedly reached out his hand, landing a punch on Benjamin’s abdomen! 

Benjamin felt an intense pain radiate through him. He instinctively stepped back, colliding with the table behind him. He then lost his balance and fell to the ground. 

Even so, he still raised his eyes and, with a prolonged gaze, looked at Charlotte. “Charlotte.” 

Charlotte looked at him with cold eyes and a frosty tone. “I don’t want to see you again.” 

After saying these words, Charlotte left the private room without looking back. 

Benjamin could only watch her leave, overwhelmed by despair, heartache, and pain, all rushing over him in an instant. He choked, taking in deep breaths, like a fish thrown ashore, unable to breathe.
