Chapter: 429

But at that time, the only things on her mind had been studying and making money. She had no time to consider anything else.

The fact that someone as exceptional as Jonathan had secretly admired her since middle school and watched over her for so many years was absurd, but also touching.

Jonathan was indeed a man of profound emotions.

But the deeper the affection, the more difficult it was to let go.

Fortunately, he had started a new chapter in his life and was getting married. Bethany didn't know if his new partner was arranged by his parents, but still he would have a home.

Feeling tired, Bethany spotted a bench ahead and walked over to sit.

She took out her phone and noticed messages from Ryan and Westsilver Driver.

Westsilver Driver asked, "Have you arrived in Brokdon?"

“Yes. Are you here as well? I have the receipt with me. If it's convenient, we can meet in Brokdon, and I can hand it to you."

There was a pause before he responded, "I didn't go to Brokdon."

Bethany wanted to reply, but having just cried, her contact lenses had become uncomfortable, so she removed them. With the screen appearing blurry, she opted for a voice message instead.

“Let me know when you can pick it up, or I can mail it to you."

He replied promptly this time. "Have you been crying?"

Bethany was taken aback, realizing her voice must have revealed her emotional state.

“Yes... Something just made me sad."

“Did someone upset you?"

“No, just reminiscing about old memories. Thanks for your concern."

After sending that message, Bethany waited, but there was no further response from the driver. She put away her phone and got up to continue her walk.

Meanwhile, at Bates Group, Jonathan rose from his desk and made his way out.

His assistant, puzzled, asked, "Mr. Bates, are you headed to a meeting? It doesn't start for another hour."

"Cancel it. I need to go to Brokdon for a few days."

The assistant quickly checked his schedule. “Mr. Bates, Brody scheduled your flight to Brokdon for this evening."

Brody had arranged the evening flight because Jonathan had several meetings and project reports due on Monday.

“Book the earliest flight available. I need to leave immediately."
