My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 32

"Two months ago, on the day of your funeral."

Before I returned to Bryxton, I never thought about going against Nicholas. However, he deliberately used the Felix Family to attack the Norman Family. He knew I would not allow the Norman and Felix families infight and would definitely take the Felix Family back. He even didn't accept the share transfer agreement. He seemed to be deliberately returning the Felix Family to me.

The Forger Family had tried to take over the Felix Family for years; however, they gave up when it was within reach.

What is Nicholas' purpose in doing this?

I was bewildered, so I shook my head and stopped thinking about this. I got out of the car with the keys and went back to the villa. When I got to the living room, I saw the apricot scarf I put on the sofa last night.

A few months ago, he removed the apricot scarf from his neck and wrapped it around me under the snowy sky. His gesture was familiar and tender. After that, he gifted this scarf to me after taking me home.

I hurriedly ran back upstairs to look at him downstairs. Under the street light, I could see his eyes were soft and cold. Now that I think about it, it was the saddest scene because of our distance.

Physically, we were apart by only ten meters.

I was upstairs and he was downstairs.

However, we seemed too far away mentally.

I desperately longed for him, and the longing was killing me. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

However, I couldn't get close to his heart.

Moreover, he was the actual man that I had a crush on.

He was Christopher, the man I missed in my heart.

I walked over and picked up this apricot scarf to hold it in my arms. I left it on the snowman once, but Christopher took it back. After some adventures, it returned to me again.

I lowered my head to smell the scent on the scarf, and it was a refreshing scent.

It was Christopher's unique charm.

I gradually smiled and whispered, "Christopher."

It was a name that was unfamiliar to me.

…

I had been sleeping at home during the day, and I just woke up at night and took some medicine when I

received a call from Olivia.

She invited me for dinner, but I refused with a soft voice. "I'm sorry, I have something to do here."

She reluctantly invited me again, "My brother asked me to properly thank you."

I sat beside the bed for a while and hesitated to ask, "Will your brother come too?"

"Yes, he said he wanted to thank you."

I looked up at the scenery outside the window. It was March and spring, but it had started to snow again.

I bit my lip and still refused. "I'm sorry, Ms. Parker. I have a personal matter to attend to. Besides, I didn't help much yesterday. You don't need to thank me."

I wasn't convinced, so Olivia hung up the call in disappointment.

After that, I logged into WhatsApp and saw my assistant's message.

He said, 'President Felix, President Forger announced in our company that he will withdraw from the Felix Family and will not return to the company starting tomorrow. Every responsibility of the affairs in the company will transfer to you, including our suppression to the Norman Family.'

I was surprised. Why did Nicholas quit?

Moreover, it was right after I called Mr. Wright.

Did he notice something?

At that, I called Mr. Wright again.

I frowned and asked him, "Did you let Nicholas know about our conversation earlier?"

"If you withdraw the share transfer agreement, Mr. Forger has the right to know."

After a pause, Mr. Wright said, "I'm sorry, he actually asked me about this earlier."

After I hung up the call, I messaged Gary. 'Cancel the suppression of the Normal Family.'

He messaged back. 'Understood, but you have to sign on the document to make it final.'

I replied, 'I'll be at the company later.'

It was only 6.00 PM, so the company hadn't closed.

I put down my phone and went to the bathroom for a shower. After that, I dried my hair and put on delicate makeup. I also applied brown eyeshadow that had a pearlescent color to make my eyes look prettier.

After hesitating for a long time, I used the pen to draw a small star around the corner of my eye.

I opened the closet, picked out fairy-like clothes, and styled my hair into loose twin braids. Looking at

myself in the mirror, I slowly smiled and said, "I never tried this style before."

I used to style myself as a mature and stable woman and rarely dressed so daintily.

I went over to the door and changed into a pair of white sneakers. Then, I took the car keys and went to the garage to pick out a low-key black sports car to go to the company. When I arrived, I saw Gary was waiting for me on the company's first floor.

I handed the car keys to him and asked, "Have you resolved Maria's case?"

Gary took the car key from my hand and nodded. "I have resolved the case in the police station. However, the nonsense… President Felix, I need to show you a viral video online."

He handed me a phone. After taking a look, I gave it back to him.

I said disdainfully, "That's the only trick she has up her sleeve."

The content of the video was about the confrontation last night, where I was holding Maria's arm.

Then, I let go of her, and she fell to the ground alone.

From that angle, it looked like I was the assailant.

I guessed correctly; someone really secretly took a video last night.

It was easy to read her tricks.

Gary explained, "It is a dirty trick; however, the number of retweets exceeded one million, and the comment section is trying to cancel you. They demand an apology from you. So far, it has affected the Felix Family's stocks."

I suddenly called out to him, "Gary."

He respectfully asked, "Yes, President Felix?"

"I will use the Felix Family's official webpage to respond to this case."

He asked, "What do you want to post about?"

"I did it. So what?"

Upon hearing that, he asked in astonishment, "Do you really have to do so?"

There were always ones that did not know their actual value and kept playing dirty tricks.

Maria thought this would hit me hard and affect the Felix Family's stocks.

Then, she naïvely thought she could threaten me with the petty trick.

She thought I would be forced to apologize to her because of the false news.

Hmph! What a joke.

She was like a cockroach. It wouldn't hit or bite you; it just appeared near your feet to disgust you.

Without hesitating, I ordered, "Do as I say."

"Yes, President Felix."

After returning to the company, I signed the contract to cancel the Felix Family's suppression of the Norman Family. I decided to favor the Norman Family with the company's business. The cooperation between the top enterprises in the two cities would be beneficial.

After all, the relationship between the Norman Family and the Felix Family had always been exceptional.

My relationship with Clair was enough to maintain this cooperation.

Then, I made another critical decision.

The Felix Family would take 5% of the assets to research science and technology.

No one objected because I was the only shareholder in the Felix Family.

However, Gary was worried. "President Felix, this investment is huge, but the current return is almost zero. It is not a short-term tug of war; it will take many years to see the results."

I smiled to reassure him and said, "It's okay because it's time for the Felix Family to create a new path."

In the past, the Felix Family made a name by selling real estate. Although it was involved various industries, it was weak in the technology industry. The Felix Family could welcome a great future if we

could develop this industry.

As far as I knew, the country's most influential science and technological force was the Forger Family.

Logically, the Felix Family would want the Forger Family's resources. However, it wasn't necessary.

At the very least, I wouldn't go looking for Nicholas to discuss business.

However, if the Felix Family and the Forger Family combined, it would be a robust international enterprise.

This was why Chairman Forger insisted on taking over the Felix Family.

However, Nicholas still returned the Felix Family to me despite the temptation.

I had never figured out his reason for returning it to me.

If the reason was love, it was highly unlikely as he had already forgotten about me.

It was also ridiculous to say that he lost his ambition.

Although I couldn't figure it out, I still didn't call him to confirm it as I didn't want anything to do with him.

I stayed in the company until 8.00 PM. The snowfall was getting heavier, and it had accumulated to a thick layer. I took the car keys and drove to a nearby restaurant to grab a bite.

Just as I was about to check out and leave, I heard a familiar voice. "Renee, what a coincidence! Are you having dinner here too?"
