Chapter 58

Recently, Drake had been traveling extensively to secure investment for his company.

Since businesses in London were unlikely to invest in Ashcroft Capital, he had been forced to look elsewhere. Most of his time lately had been spent in hotels and on planes.

Today, he had just returned to London, with Mason picking him up from the airport.

In the evening, they were driving to a dinner engagement.

While waiting at a red light, Mason glanced over at Drake.

Drake was scrolling through old photos of himself and Thalia on his phone.

Mason’s lips parted and closed again, hesitating to speak.

Before he could say anything, Drake leaned over, showing him the phone screen, his expression softening

with tenderness. “Look how happy we were back then.”

Mason’s expression was complicated.

Drake had previously asked him to purchase a ring in France, saying he would use it to win Thalia back.

At the time, Drake had mentioned that Thalia was about to get engaged, and Mason had commented that stealing someone’s fiancée was unethical.

Since returning to London, Mason had avoided bringing up the topic of Thalia with Drake.

He hadn’t seen Thalia since she left their city, and didn’t know anything about her fiance.

What he did notice was that Drake rarely smiled these days.

At social gatherings, Drake had once been the life of the party. Now, he often drank alone, and when drunk, would call out Thalia’s name with profound sadness.

At this moment, looking at old photos with Thalia, Drake showed a smile that hadn’t been seen in a long time, seemingly lost in self–deceptive memories.

Mason thought Drake had become obsessed.

He wanted to ask, “Did you give her that ring?” but couldn’t bring himself to form the words.

In the end, Mason just sighed deeply.

The traffic light turned green.

The driver pressed the accelerator, and the car continued forward.

Mason finally couldn’t hold back. “Drake, as your buddy, I gotta say something. Yeah, you guys had a good thing going, but when it’s over, it’s over. She’s engaged now. Don’t go doing something you’ll regret.”

“Regret?” Drake scoffed dismissively. “I’ve already told you, I don’t give a damn about ethics. I just want
