The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 542 Sheldon Breaks Down In Tears

"Alright then. Take your time, Mr. Holden Senior."

William and Charlotte stood up. They exchanged a quick glance before walking out of the study.

Charles rose from his chair and walked over to his desk, sinking into his seat. The framed photograph that had once been there had been removed at his request. Sheldon had taken it away.

The frame sat there, empty and hollow.

A deep ache settled in his chest. He pressed his fingers against his forehead before moving a trembling hand to clutch his heart.

The pain was unbearable, so sharp that it felt suffocating. The moment he closed his eyes, all he could see was Vivian entwined with another man, locked in betrayal.

Yvette's ruthless move had completely shattered the love and faith he had clung to for so many years.

With his eyes shut, memories flickered before him like an old film, each frame piercing deeper into his soul.

He saw his childhood, playing and studying alongside Vivian. He saw their engagement, their wedding, and the moment she became pregnant. He had been overwhelmed with joy, running around excitedly, shouting that he was going to be a father.

He had cared for her with the utmost caution throughout her pregnancy, fearing that even the slightest discomfort might harm her. And when she gave birth, he had been terrified, praying that she would make it through safely.

He couldn't understand. Where had he gone wrong?

That man had nothing special. He had seen the photos and watched the video. The man was inferior to him in every way. His looks, his stature, and his presence were nothing extraordinary. What had Vivian seen in him?

The pain in Charles' chest intensified. His eyes burned. His head hung low, and heavy tears fell onto the desk.

"Why? Why? Why did it have to be this way?" he choked out.
