Chapter 79 A Different Kind of Romance (3)_1
「Hawaii.」
In a luxurious room of a high-end hotel, Nicholas Coldwell stared fixedly at the phone Julia Bluen had just disconnected.
He really wanted to call back; he realized he desperately missed her voice.
When he decided to abandon Julia Bluen and be with Diana Powell, he knew he had feelings for Julia. But to climb higher, to secure a place for himself in the business world, he ultimately chose his career.
He thought he could be indifferent, that he could stop paying attention to Julia. But he hadn’t expected Julia to be the true heiress, the one truly capable of helping him ascend, saving him a hundred years of struggle. This unexpected news had shattered all his self-assuredness. Coupled with Glades Horne’s connection, he regretted it.
Glades Horne... oh, he dreamt of having some connection with him.
These past few days, though he was honeymooning with Diana in beautiful Hawaii, not a moment went by when his mind wasn’t occupied. If he hadn’t secretly gotten involved with Diana behind Julia’s back, hadn’t had an affair with her, abandoning Julia, the one he truly loved, then he would have become the brother-in-law of the Horne Family’s heir. What did that mean? It represented the rise to prominence he had always craved.
Even without being Glades Horne’s brother-in-law, just by being the son-in-law of the Bluen consortium’s CEO, he would have had enough opportunity to display his talents and establish himself in the business world.
He couldn’t stop thinking about it, couldn’t stop regretting it.
"What’s wrong?" Diana Powell asked as she came out of the bathroom and saw him staring blankly at his phone. "Did you take care of the matter Dad mentioned on the phone? Will Julia Bluen let us off the hook for your sake and spare our Cosmos Group?"
