Chapter 205
\nThree Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 205<\/p>\n
She\u2019s going to forget you. For good. Forever.<\/p>\n
Lawrence felt like he was being pulled apart at the seams. One minute, his rational side was in control. The next, his inner demons dragged him under. He could barely stand it\u2014the pain twisted his face, making him look almost frightening.<\/p>\n
Abbot watched the lines on Lawrence\u2019s face tighten with every muscle twitch, anxious and scared, wanting to step in but not daring to speak. It didn\u2019t matter. Lawrence had already pushed past him and walked into the room.<\/p>\n
Nana sat there, looking washed out, her skin pale and drained of that spoiled-rich-girl bravado she used to have. The moment she saw Lawrence, she flinched, her head dipping so fast it was almost instinct.<\/p>\n
His voice sounded like gravel, rough and broken. \u201cJust admit it was Hannah. Admit she told you what to do. Admit you started that whole mess online because she asked. You tell me the truth, your family\u2019s business stays clean. I won\u2019t drag them into this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nana\u2019s eyes flew up in shock. Was Lawrence really ready to throw Hannah to the wolves?<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not that I don\u2019t want to tell you,\u201d Nana managed, her voice unsteady. \u201cIt\u2019s just\u2026 it won\u2019t help. I don\u2019t have proof.\u201d<\/p>\n
She wasn\u2019t some loyal sidekick\u2014she just knew Hannah was too smart to get her own hands dirty.<\/p>\n
Lawrence\u2019s tone went flat. \u201cJust talk. Let me decide if it\u2019s useful or not.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nana looked worn out, like she hadn\u2019t slept all night. She slumped back and gave in. \u201cBack in October, Golden Horizon Enterprises was about to cut ties with our factory. My dad told me to invite Hannah to dinner. You know, try to save the deal. I brought some friends along. Hannah showed up late. She looked pissed. After the meal, I drove her home. It felt like the contract was a lost cause. But then, a few days later, Golden Horizon called us back. Not only did they keep the deal, they sent over a huge order\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
She\u2019d immediately called Hannah to say thanks. And as they chatted, she\u2019d let the words slip\u2014she didn\u2019t know how to ever repay her, but if Hannah ever needed a favor, just name it.<\/p>\n
Hannah had just laughed and asked if she really meant it, told her not to back out when the time came.<\/p>\n
It was his fault. Again.<\/p>\n
Lawrence clenched his jaw. \u201cSo that\u2019s it? No clear orders from her?\u201d<\/p>\n
Nana shook her head, desperate. \u201cThat\u2019s it. I swear. The dashcam was off that day. I didn\u2019t record anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lawrence shut his eyes, swallowing the bitter taste rising in his throat. \u201cShe just said those things? And you understood exactly what she wanted?\u201d<\/p>\n
Nana\u2019s heart started hammering in her chest. She could barely breathe. How was she supposed to admit to Lawrence that she and Hannah had teamed up against Bonnie more than once?<\/p>\n
Especially when it came to hurting Bonnie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-873","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/873","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
