Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 83
Nicole's POVI breathed in silently, calming my nerves at having more people before me than at my first socialite party or shareholder meeting."Thank you for the welcome." I began my speech, looking at all the people present and seemingly welcoming me. "I'm happy to be able to meet everyone who is already a part of the STAR Association in person and introduce myself here as the leader of the association as well as my father's daughter."I exchanged a smile with my foster father, who returned my smile and nodded. "Just like my father, as his daughter, I'm very proud to be able to tread the same path as him. As a businessman who helps children needing assistance from the STAR Association guided by his teachings over the years."Most of the people applauded. I could see everyone's faces clearly, especially those of Chris and Adeline, who were not far from the stage. I was still giving speeches but could tell how angry that woman was when she saw me standing at the podium.She clenched h

Nicole's POVI looked at Adeline calmly. "There's no need to act like this. Didn't you hear when I was introduced earlier? I am Nicole Duncan."I looked at Adeline, who was getting angrier after hearing my words. Her hands were clenched, and her lips were tightly pursed, but I could listen to the gnashing of her teeth, which told me that she was very upset by my blunt words.After my Edwin introduced me as part of the Duncan Family, in front of the many people attending the association party, Adeline already looked unaccepting of the reality she saw firsthand and was filled with emotion.I already knew she never liked me and only pretended to be nice at the beginning of our meeting. In the end, she turned into a person who always wanted to take what I had, even if it was just a compliment.If someone were to do that to me, she would go to any lengths to get more praise from me. It was the same with other things. That woman had always wanted attention from many people and didn't want m

Chris's POVI didn't know what to feel like at a time like this. Too many things were spinning in my head after hearing Evan's statement about Nicole's DNA test results and Edwin's statement that was complemented by Nicole's presence with him.All this time, I had always felt certain that the Nicole I saw at the association party at this moment and also when we met for the first time in a long time was the woman I had known for a long time, Nicole Martinez. Their resemblance was so uncanny that I could have mistaken them for the same woman, but reality didn't match my beliefs.DNA test results are very difficult to fabricate, especially since Evan was the one who supervised the examination in person, so there was no possibility that the answer would be a mistake. The same goes for Edwin's statement.There was no way I could deny the words of a powerful man like him, especially when he was one of the most influential leaders of a conglomerate family and had already achieved this status
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 86
Chris' POVOn the way home, I checked my phone and saw that various articles about Nicole had been spread across several media portals.I saw that some of them made the news about her in the headline on the first page, and various photos of her smiling or talking were displayed as supplements. Not forgetting Edwin, as well as the woman's son with a disguised face.As a newly announced member of the Duncan family after a long time, many people were very interested in Nicole, especially with all the achievements that she had managed to accomplish without using the Duncan name so far.Nicole was the top search on the website, while the Duncan Family and the STAR Association came in second and third. That woman's appearance really had an impact that could make cyberspace into this much of an uproar.I looked at a few other articles about Nicole before putting my phone down, exhaling with all the things I had to go through today. The only thing that made me feel a little more relieved was
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 87
Chris' POVI was with Nicole. I saw her laughing, and we held hands, walking near the café we had visited. I laughed when I saw how happy she looked as she listened to my words, and then, a moment later, she stopped walking.I looked at her confused but smiled when I saw her bright smile. "What's wrong?""I love you, Chris." She said.Before I could say anything to her, I woke up from what felt like an authentic event. I felt my breath catch, still processing the dream that had deceived me.I shifted my position to sitting to take in my surroundings, which were just a room instead of the streets around the café and the absence of Nicole next to me.Cold sweat poured down my face. I felt uneasy and rubbed my face roughly so that I wouldn't think about the dream that felt real again, as well as the happy feeling when I was with that woman.I groaned softly, cursing the strange dream silently and muttering under my breath. "What was I thinking?" Dreaming of something like that so vividly
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 88
Adeline's POV"As you said, this woman's face resembles Nicole's. How could that be?" my mom said, still looking at the photo of the woman in the article she was reading.After being kicked out of Chris's house, I returned to Martinez's house as my only place to go home. I only have this house. Although I hated the current house, it was much better to be here with my mother, who also disliked Nicole and tell the woman I still suspected to be her directly rather than trying to prove her identity alone.I nodded. "I don't know either, Mom, but she insists she's part of the Duncan Family. If you met that woman, I'm sure that you'd recognise her as a bitch, too, from that annoying look in her eyes."Most of the time, her gaze looked frightened or resigned whenever I tortured that woman, but there were times when Nicole would suddenly become rather bold and unapologetic and look at both me and my mother with a challenging gaze.At that moment, my useless step-sister seemed to be getting m
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 89
Chris' POVI saw Nicole hugging a man, kissing with his hands holding the corner of her face. I can see their clashing lips with closed eyes, seemingly enjoying their kiss...Unlike the previous dream, this time, I couldn't move from where I was. My feet seemed to be planted in place when I saw them still engrossed in their intimate activities with each other.Here, I could only look at the man's face angrily, recognising his figure, which I immediately recognised despite not having seen him for a long time. He is Nicole's ex.I woke up with a gasp and tears already dripping from the corners of my eyes. My head was spinning, feeling frustrated that I didn't get a chance to kick him out or immediately separate him from Nicole while they were kissing."Damn it, damn it!" I cursed harshly, clenching my fists so tightly that they stung, but I didn't care.My dream this time was so unpleasant that I didn't want to dream anything else in my sleep. What I saw there was completely real even t
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 90
Nicole' POV"I'm so glad to see you again, Richard. You seem to be doing well while you're here." Edwin smiled at my son as he picked him up. He walked over to the nearest bench so he could sit down and sat Richard on his lap.Richard nodded, returning his grandfather's smile. "Yes, Grandpa. I find it quite exciting here because I can do more of what I want.""Really?" Edwin raised an eyebrow in surprise, looking at Richard, who for once seemed to be acting like a boy his age. "Tell Grandpa what you've been doing that's been fun while you've been here, Richard."Richard told him about his activities from the beginning of our move here, as well as some of the events he attended with me or just alone with Key until recently when I was busy attending other vital events. He looked excited, as did my father, who responded favourably to his story."I made a lot of robots, Grandpa. Among them, there were also some that I made for Mom and one of them succeeded in making the person who was Mom
