My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 71

Since May wanted to continue cooperating with the Adams Corporation, I would not stop her. So, I let Gary discuss related matters with the corporation. After he left, I remembered what Nicholas had said last night.

Although I didn't believe Nicholas, I still decided to be vigilant. I asked my secretary to pass me the Felix Corporation's recent financial flow documents.

When I read the document, I found some of the funds' whereabouts were unclear. The finance department shouldn't be making such a mistake unless someone told them to do it. So, they did not mark the exact whereabouts of these funds. Only my assistant and I had permission to order someone to do it.

Gary had worked for me for nine years, so he knew everything about the Felix Corporation.

In addition, I put great trust in him, so I let him handle every affair.

After I married Nicholas, I didn't bother to manage the company, so the Felix Corporation practically belonged to Gary. Even if he did something wrong, I would not have found out. Before Nicholas told me about Gary, I would never doubt the latter. However, the little doubt in my heart gradually expanded, and I started to feel despair.

I sat in the office and thought about it for a long time, and I understood that we should make no room for doubt. When I was hesitating, Gary called me. "President Felix, I have something to tell you."

I suppressed the complicated emotions in my heart and asked, "What's the matter?"

He abruptly said, "President Forger just called me."

Hearing this, I instantly knew what he was going to talk about.

"I did take away the company's funds," he said calmly, to which I asked, "What did you use it for?"

Gary couldn't answer this question. I thought he wouldn't be able to respond properly on the phone, so I relieved his pressure and said, "Let's talk when you return."

Then, I said, "I will believe you no matter what."

Gary said in astonishment, "President Felix…"

After hanging up, I called Nicholas.

When he picked it up, he asked with a low and magnetic voice, "Miss me?"

I laughed and asked, "Yes. What are you doing, Mr. Forger?"

He explained in a light tone, "I was just done with the meeting, and I have to socialize in the afternoon."

"Okay. Have you called Gary?"

Nicholas didn't hide it from me either. "Yes. I know you will not forget this after you know about it, and I am afraid that you'll feel uncomfortable, so I called Gary. He promised me that he would tell you the

truth. I think it isn't a serious problem. What did he tell you?"

"He hasn't said it yet. Let's see how it will go in the afternoon."

"Okay. I'll continue my work first," he said.

Nicholas seemed to be really busy. After I hung up the phone, I planned to go to the hospital to visit May. However, I bumped into Maria when I arrived at the hospital. It was so frequent that I wondered if she lived in the hospital.

She looked surprised when she saw me. "Why are you here?"

I countered back with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Maria ignored me and went into the hospital. I said behind her indifferently, "What are you trying to do? Are you looking for my background? You don't think I'm a fake Renee, do you?"

Maria stopped abruptly, then turned around and looked at me with a pathetic gaze.

I kindly reminded her, "You can't win against me with this trick."

Maria wore the same colored clothes as mine today. I felt worse looking at her.

I really hated Maria very much. When I thought about what she once did to Alba, I couldn't forgive her.

May and Alba would not have been separated for years if it weren't for her.

Moreover, Alba wouldn't be disabled and return to the Adams Family. If he didn't, he would live a good life.

Most importantly, she was such a faker that everyone hated her.

Maria said with an ugly face, "Ha! Don't get carried away."

Maria is getting grumpy now!

I stepped closer to her and asked, "I am getting carried away, so what?"

A trace of resentment flashed in Maria's eyes. She stretched her arms, gave me a shove, and warned viciously, "Renee, remember this—you can't win forever!"

Maria was powerful, and I got pushed a great distance before I could balance my feet again. I frowned in displeasure and heard her say sternly, "You are just riding high for a moment. I'll have you know that as long as I can find the evidence that you're not Renee, you are doomed!"

Does she think that will defeat me?

I looked at her as if I saw a fool. Is she actually stupid?

I was too lazy to entertain her, so I asked, "How do you know this?"

Hearing this, she looked at me in a daze. I reminded her, "Why do you think I'm not Renee Felix?"

Maria didn't want to deal with me anymore, so she turned around and was about to enter the hospital. However, I warned coldly, "Silly, this is the Felix Corporation's hospital. You can't find any clues here."

Maria's expression suddenly became dejected. I heard her muttering, "Renee Felix, you are the one who stole my man. How should I defeat you?"

Maria had never given up on Nicholas.

She just wanted Nicholas and Nicholas alone. However, she couldn't have it her way as Chairman Forger, and power always stopped her.

I think she would have been Nicholas' wife if I hadn't appeared three years ago.

In fact, she was a rather pitiful woman.

That being said, you reap what you sow.

In the end, I ignored her and went to the hospital.

Truth was, I had a question.

Where did Maria hear about those rumors?

She even tried to come to the hospital to clumsily find evidence.

She really is pathetic.

As if she was doing stupid things with a glimmer of false hope. It was like nothing else she could do in a desperate situation.

When I saw May, her condition was much better. I told her about meeting Maria downstairs, and she frowned in disdain. "I often see her in the hospital too, and she kept bugging those doctors to ask for something like a fool. She's definitely a lunatic."

Lunatic?

Did Maria really turn crazy after Nicholas broke up with her?

I asked curiously, "Did she make trouble in the hospital?"

"She didn't. However, she kept yelling that Quinn wouldn't lie to her."

I asked in astonishment, "Quinn?"

How did Maria know about Quinn?

"Well, I don't know who Quinn is." May sighed and added, "That woman is disgusting. I hate her, but it's pitiful to see her being crazy too. Still, when I remember that she was the one who hit Alba, I couldn't pity her anymore."

Like me, May thought that Maria was pitiful.

After all, we were too kind.

At that point, I changed the subject. "Let's not talk about Maria anymore. When will you be discharged?"

"Almost. Rudy said he would pick me up from the hospital."

When it came to Rudy, her tone was getting indifferent.

"Did he come here to visit you?" I asked.

"Yes, he knows who I am."

May then explained in a disappointed tone, "I was trying to hide my relationship with Alba with him. However, he directly talked about our relationship when he was here yesterday."

I asked curiously, "What did he say?"

"I am Alba's elder; you can call me Rudy. You are the only woman in his life, so you're part of the Adams Family. I will take care of you for the rest of your life." May recited with a sigh. "He said those exact words, and I can't argue with him."

I didn't expect Rudy to say he would take care of May forever. Hence, I laughed and asked jokingly, "What do you want to argue about?"

Does she want to marry Rudy? Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

"Marry him; I'll be his wife."

"What happens after that?" I asked sharply. "Are you going to use his power to avenge Alba?"

May stayed silent.

I didn't have to tell May about these; she would understand.

I was supporting her to avenge Alba. However, I hoped that she would make a proper plan. At least she shouldn't implicate an innocent man.

May tilted her head to look at the gloomy and humid sky, thereafter saying, "He came here yesterday in this weather. He was dressed in a tuxedo, and he is such a handsome man that I couldn't take my eyes off him."

His handsomeness could rival the Forger brothers.

However, Rudy looked aloof.

This trait, too, could rival the Forger brothers.

"I saw him too. He is rather eye-catching."

May took a deep breath and said, "Yes, and he could see through my mind."

"What happened?"

"He knew I wanted to use him," she answered, to which I whispered, "And what did he say?"

"He told me to have some self-respect."

I couldn't respond to that.

…

After leaving the hospital, I drove back to the company, and Gary was still outside discussing something.

I felt bored, so I went to Nicholas' company.

The receptionist didn't recognize me and didn't let me in. When I was about to call Nicholas, Chairman Forger came downstairs.

He was startled when he saw me, then he hurriedly came over and asked, "Ree, are you looking for Nicholas?"

I nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, for lunch."

"He's still in a meeting. You can wait for him upstairs." He suddenly smiled and said, "It's great that you guys got back together."

I laughed without saying a word. Then, Chairman Forger said anxiously, "I have something to do, so I'll leave now."

I clearly saw that he was holding a plane ticket to Goldshore.

"Okay, don't worry about me."

After he left, I looked at the shocked receptionist and asked, "Can I go in now?"

She hurriedly said yes, and I asked, "Where is Nicholas' office?"

"Turn right to the first office on the twenty-seventh floor."

I got in the elevator and went upstairs. When I got out of the elevator, I saw that the whole floor was empty. The first office sign stated that this was the president's office. I heard a voice inside when I was about to open the door, and I was confused.

Isn't Nicholas in a meeting?

I didn't rush in. Instead, I stood at the door and waited for a few seconds before hearing the voice.

It was clearly a voice I was familiar with.

Nicholas asked coldly, "How is the progress?"

I couldn't hear what the other party said. Nicholas fell silent for a long time before replying coldly, "As long as you… everything goes well, I will keep my promise to marry you."

I froze and stood rooted to the spot when I heard that.
