Chapter 195

Seeing Rebecca’s silence, Richard pressed, “She’s not here?”

Rebecca replied, “She is. Come with me.”

Richard didn’t say much. He didn’t scold Rebecca or criticize her. He didn’t say anything harsh.

For an instant, it was like he was that gentle father from her childhood–the one who cared about her→ instead of the sharp, profit–minded Richard he’d become.

When they arrived at the rehabilitation center, Amelia had just finished her daily workout. She could walk normally for a while now, just not for too long at a stretch.

“Hey, you’re here,” Amelia called out to Richard as soon as she spotted him.

Richard masked his true feelings well. He nodded and said, “Yeah.”

Amelia said, “Let’s discuss this back in my room.”

Richard nodded.

Watching Richard acting all meek and well–behaved, Rebecca couldn’t help but think to herself, ‘Is this really the same Richard who was losing his mind and going off the rails just not long ago?‘

Once inside the hospital room, Richard sat down quietly. He looked at Amelia and said, “You asked me here to talk about the divorce, didn’t you?”

“Yeah,” Amelia replied with a nod.

“Alright,” Richard answered, accepting it without argument.

Amelia said, “Thank you for looking after Rebecca all these years, for always being there for her. You made sure her childhood and her teens were full of warmth.”

Richard replied, “That’s simply what I was supposed to do. You helped me build the Jensen Group, brought me status and wealth. Giving my daughter some fatherly love was just part of the deal.”

They agreed to all of this before they ever got married. As Richard saw it, it wasn’t about gratitude–it was just mutual benefit, nothing more.

“If I’d actually listened to you back then, instead of acting so stubborn, the Jensen Group wouldn’t be in this mess,” Richard said, regret thick in his voice. He was kicking himself now for his arrogance and all that pointless pride.

He’d been worried people would say he only got where he was thanks to a woman, so he just had to do everything his own way, shutting everyone else out.

Amelia tried to talk sense into him, but he straight–up snapped at her, saying it was none of her business and she should keep out of his life for good.
