Chapter 588: Betty Doesn't Want Richard Anymore

In the lounge, Richard was tailing Betty like a shadow, looking all serious, making sure she didn't get bumped around by the crowd.

Richard wasn't seeing himself as Betty's hubby anymore; he was all about protecting her and the baby she was carrying.

Betty shot Richard a quick glance, then looked down, keeping quiet.

"Hang here for a bit, I gotta talk business," Betty said.

Avery was off to chat with some big shots, and Betty had to back her up.

Deborah was back with the Hawthornes, and Avery's spot in the Hawthorne Group was shaky.

Deborah was a sly and ruthless chick, and Betty was worried Avery couldn't handle her solo.

Richard just nodded and stayed put, waiting.

He was like a loyal puppy; whatever Betty said, he did.

"Richard." As Betty walked away, Aleah tiptoed over, looking all nervous. "Richard, you seriously don't remember me?"

Richard frowned, gave Aleah a once-over, and took a step back, signaling her to keep her distance.

Aleah's eyes got all teary, but she forced a smile. "Richard, let me reintroduce myself. I'm Aleah, your classmate since elementary school. We were in love for years. But Betty came between us and bought off our relationship with cash."

Aleah glanced Betty's way, her voice cracking. "See, money's awesome, right? With it, you can do whatever, stomp on people's dignity, buy their feelings, and force me to go abroad and marry someone I don't love."

Richard looked at Aleah, then at Betty. "She's not like that."

"You just forgot, Richard. She made you marry her by threatening you with me, all for my sake." Aleah nervously tried to grab his hand. "Richard, trust me, I wouldn't lie to you."

Aleah pulled out old photos and Richard's old diary. "Richard, this is all I could find, proof you loved me deeply. You gave me this diary before you left. I know you love me; you wouldn't love anyone else."

Richard stared at the diary, silent for a while. "How do I know if I wrote this?"

Aleah was taken aback. "Richard, this is your handwriting."
