CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 1719

Chapter 1719 Dark Manipulations

Upon learning of the failed plan and Connor's accident, he felt regret and worry.

Despite his cunning nature, he did have affection for Connor. After all, Connor had called him “Uncle Stanley” for several years, and he had witnessed Connor's growth.

He was cold-hearted, but not to the extent of truly wishing Connor dead. Therefore, upon hearing about Connor's accident, he hurriedly rushed to the hospital to check on his condition.

Natalie bit her lip and remained silent.

Of course, she knew that Stanley was not lying and that he was being sincere in everything he said.

But precisely because of that, she felt even more uneasy in her heart.

That accident could have been avoided. It didn't have to happen.

But somehow, Stanley let it happen.

Fortunately, Connor was lucky and didn't suffer any major injuries. But if luck hadn't been on his side, she could have truly lost a child.

So, she was unable to get over that matter.

“Sorry.” Stanley acknowledged that Natalie was deeply upset, and he felt uneasy and burdened. Guilt and self-blame welled up within him.

Natalie took a deep breath. “It was you who erased Connor's memories after he was taken away, right?”

She didn't forgive his apology, nor did she have the right to.

After all, Connor was the victim, and it was up to him to forgive before she could consider forgiveness.

“Yes.” Stanley nodded. “After you fell asleep, I hypnotized Connor and erased his memories of being taken away and the car accident. Apart from wanting to hide my involvement, I also didn't want him to develop any lingering psychological trauma from the accident.”

“Not wanting Connor to suffer psychological trauma?” Natalie scoffed. “Should I thank you for that?”

Stanley lowered his gaze, remaining silent.

He couldn't respond to that statement, nor could he accept it.

Connor could have been fine without experiencing that car accident.

It was his actions that led to Connor being taken away, which resulted in the car accident.

If it weren't for Connor's incredible luck, he could have died at the scene of the accident just like the driver.

He almost killed a child, the child who had called him “Uncle Stanley” for five years.

He was the one who let Connor down.

He couldn't accept, nor did he deserve those words of gratitude.

Natalie looked at Stanley's silent demeanor, lifted her head slightly, and took a breath. “Let's not talk about this matter for now. It has been a long time, and I only brought it up because I wanted to know one answer. Now that I know the answer, there's no need to continue discussing it. Let's talk about something else. The fire at the textile mill that Joyce and I were at, was it you who ordered it to be burned down?”
