RedNovelRegret 259 Chapter 259 Chapter 259 Tricia ignored the anger blazing in his eyes and slowly got to her feet. "You wantto shut up? Fine. But you'll have to do something forfirst." Jonathan's tone was ice-cold. "Tricia, you really think you're in any position to bargain?" "If you refuse, I'll tell Charlotte the truth." She'd barely finished before Jonathan shot up, his hand clamping around her throat. "You wouldn't dare!" Tricia's face turned scarlet, her breath caught, but there wasn't an ounce of fear in her gaze-only a wild, almost deranged defiance. "Go ahead. Kill me, if you've got the guts." "You think I won't?".
"You don't have it in you." Tricia's jaw was tight, veins standing out at her temple, her eyes bloodshot. "You have nothing to show for all this. You really want to throw your entire future away?" For a moment, Jonathan looked dazed. Then, reluctantly, he released her.
Tricia collapsed onto the sofa, gasping and coughing, desperate for air.

I want you to introduceto him." At that, Jonathan actually laughed, turning to look at her in disbelief. "You're delusional. Judd isn't like me-he'd never give someone like you the tof day." Tricia's expression darkened. “If I'm trash, what does that make Charlotte? She already slept with Evander!" "She's only ever been with Evander. You, on the other hand-how many men have you been with?" Tricia's face twisted in fury, words caught in her throat.
Jonathan sneered at her. "Even Evander won't touch you, and you think you stand a chance with Judd?" "Are 1/2 you going to helpor not?" Chapter 259 "If I help you, what do I get?" "I'll give you a secret." He eyed her skeptically.
Tricia gave a cold, sharp laugh. "Believe it or not, Evander was kidnapped once. He lost all memory of it. And Charlotte might be the one who saved him back then-only Evander doesn't know it." "The only reason Evander hasn't done anything tois because I took the place of the girl who saved him. But if he ever finds out that Charlotte was the real one, do you think you'll have any chance left?" Jonathan fell silent, the weight of her words sinking in.
Tricia stopped right in front of him, locking eyes. "Evander will find out the truth eventually, but until then, I'll make damn sure he never learns who really saved him. Anyone else is fine-but it can't be Charlotte. If I can't have him, neither can she!" Jonathan's hand clenched at his side, knuckles white.
Tricia, he thought bitterly, was the most unhinged woman he'd ever met.
But then he remembered how Judd looked at Charlotte, and his resolve wavered. At last, he let go.
"This is the last time." Two days later.
Evander was dining with Mr. Grove from Nebula Tech at Cloud Peak Restaurant, the highest point in Riverspire City. Mr. Grove had noticed the bandage on Evander's hand early on and couldn't help but ask, "What happened to your hand?" Evander set his wine glass down and offered a faint smile. “Just a little accident." "That bandage-" "My wife wrapped it for me." Evander glanced down at the now slightly stained bandage, oddly reluctant to change it.
Mr. Grove grinned. "Seems your marriage is still in the honeymoon phase, Mr. Howard. That rag's a mess and you still can't bear to take it off. If your wife saw it, she'd be worried sick." 2/3 12:54 # Chapter 259 Worried? The smile on Evander's face faded just a little.
If only she did worry.
Still, he believed she would, sooner or later.
After a few more drinks and another half hour of conversation, the twol men left the restaurant with their Enn entourages. The driver pulled the car up to the curb for Evander, and his bodyguard opened the rear door.
He slid into the back seat. From thefront passenger seat, Natalie glanced back at him. "Mr. Howard, Fricia thim arrived in Riverspire City two days ago. She's now working with Professor Aldridge's team." 3/3
