Chapter 183
“Don’t put me on the spot “I finally replied after a moment of silence
Over the years, I’ve given Neil countless chances, but he never valued them.
My answer brought a look of disappointment on Faith’s face She sighed, ‘It’s his fault
“Pointing fingers now doesn’t make a difference Neil is not a kid, and he has to take responsibility for
his past actions. “I said softly
“Rena, do you have someone you fancy? Faith suddenly asked.
I shook my head calmly. “No, but it doesn’t mean I will backtrack”
Faith gave a bitter smile. “That’s not what I meant. I just hope you find someone you like soon, it would
also help Neil to get over you”
It was easier said than done, especially when I didn’t know where to find the one I’d like
“All right, Irene Faith stood up, her expression much more relaxed, “I understand your decision, Sorry
for barging in today”
Faith had always been good to me, except for not telling me about Karina Aaron. I didn’t completely
resent her. Seeing her humble herself for Neil, I felt a mix of sympathy and helplessness
After seeing Faith out, I immediately received a call from Neil.
“Did my mom visit you?” Neil asked.
“She just left.” I answered. “You knew she was coming, and you didn’t stop her?”
Neil sounded defeated, “She mentioned it to me. I told her not to bother you. But by the time I woke up,
she was gone.“.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe paused, his voice growing softer as he said, “Anyway, don’t listen to her
As if I would, I was not crazy
Since he was only calling about this, I hung up after I answered his question.
Ten days after Neil was hospitalized, he was discharged when he was almost recovered.
Of course, I learned this from the news, and we hadn’t been in touch for the past ten days
The reason for his fight with Raymon was dug up during these days. I was just chilling at home when
the gossip and controversy came raining down.
The Internet was abuzz with all sorts of theories, some of them downright ridiculous.
Somebody said, “I have a crazy theory. What if Neil and his ex–wife are still in love, and Bonnie is just
a tool for Neil to provoke his ex–wife?”
Another one said, “They never appeared together before their divorce. Is Mr. Whitmore trying to get
back with his ex–wife now?”
The five–year marriage between Neil and me was indeed awkward. Now that it was brought up again,
everyone knew the names Neil and Bonnie, but when it came to me, I was referred to as ‘his ex–wife.”
These high–profile past events were easy targets for analysis, and it was kind of funny even for me
Luckily Bonnie soon took some of the heat off me.
The day after Neil’s discharge, she revealed her current status to the public. She was Ms. Zora, the
one who held two billion in investment funds, and the adopted daughter of Abner, the vice president of
Harmony Enterprises.
The news caused a sensation
The once innocent girl of an ordinary family background, who had an intricate affair with a man like
Ned, was exposed and disappeared on the brink of
death
Two years later, she re–emerged as a wealthy heiress, making a strong comeback, and had already
declared her undying love for Neil.
The netizens, with too much time on their hands, created all sorts of stories about this background in
just one day
Inevitably people started comparing Bonnie and me, and some even made a comparison chart.
“What a load of nonsense My dad was furious after reading some of the news, Neil’s injury was due to
his own impulsiveness, what does Rena have to
do with it?”
“Dad, don’t get mad There are all sorts of opinions online, don’t take them seriously I quickly calmed
my dad down
He snorted and said. “There are still some sensible people who remember what Neil did and that
Bonnie, she’s no good girl.”
There are some who support me, but Bonnie probably hired an army of trolls Since she announced her
new identity, there have been many comments praising her innocence, beauty, and kindness and
claiming that I was the one who framed her in the past
But I didn’t care about these comments, and they didn’t affect my life.
Aside from my parents and Stella, who couldn’t help but defend me, my life was still calm.
“Ms Finch, you have a letter One day, Bailey brought me a letter he had received
Who in this day and age still sent letters? I curiously took the envelope, but after reading its contents,
all my curiosity disappeared, leaving only speechless
This invitation was from Bonnie, who invited me to a business dinner she was hosting
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI threw the invitation into the trash with no intention of going
At this moment, Russel called.
“What are you up to?” Russel hadn’t called me in a while. From the time Neil was hospitalized to his
discharge, he never visited. It was as if he had disappeared for a while and then suddenly reappeared.
Sometimes I secretly wondered if he really liked me.
Why do I often feel like he doesn’t? But at the same time, I really hope my suspicion is true. I hope we
can be friends, not lovers.
I casually answered, “Nothing. Why did you suddenly call me?”
There was a moment of silence on the other end, followed by his laughter. His voice sounded pleased,
“What’s wrong? Are you mad I haven’t been in touch?”
“No, it’s just that Neil was hospitalized recently, right? I heard you didn’t go see him. Are you two
having a serious fight?” I couldn’t help but bring up this topic
Russel asked, “Are you asking this because you’re worried about me or because you’re worried about
him?”
What kind of question was that? Couldn’t I just be curious?
I answered, “Neither, I’m just curious”
“I had some family matters to take care of and didn’t have time. I just returned to work at the hospital
these days,” Russel’s tone was calm, 1 knew about his injury, Mitch told me.”
“Russel, you and Neil have been friends for so many years; don’t let anyone come between you. No
one is worth it, you know?” I said sincerely.
Russel dodged the topic, “You free tonight? I need a dance partner”
“A dance partner? Don’t tell me you’re also going to Bonnie’s dinner party?” I was pretty gobsmacked.
He replied, “Yeah, Bonnie sent invites to a few of us, including Neil. He’ll probably be there too.”
