Chapter 585: Chapter 585: Then Apologize
"...I always think about how nice it would be if we could go back to the beginning. That way, we wouldn’t have wasted so much time."
After saying this, Tiffany Lynch sighed a little. Her eyes turned slightly red with a touch of tears, but she bit her lip, refraining from crying.
Playing on emotions was something Tiffany was best at. She knew the guilt the man harbored for her and how she could achieve her goals.
When George River looked up, he was met with her eyes, veiled behind a mist of tears. In the past, he would have absolutely melted at the sight.
But for some reason, all he felt was confusion now. He didn’t even register what she had just said. His thoughts were consumed by one person.
He wondered, did Hannah Winter harbor resentment towards Tiffany? Was it because he had needed a substitute for her, even forcing her to do things she disliked and dressing her up to look like a completely different person?
He had always suspected Hannah of having ulterior motives, even while being attentive to her. He assumed she was after his wealth. But since then...
Beyond the time just after they separated, Hannah never reached out to him. Even when they met, she was always accompanied by another man.
Even after that man passed away, she could not let him go.
Yet he couldn’t help but think.... was this incident also Hannah seeking revenge on him?
Did she still hold him in her heart?
"Sorry, Tiffany, I’ve been busy with the company, so I didn’t catch what you just said," George River apologized with a soft voice. "Could you say it again?"
The tears that she had carefully prepared suddenly stopped, Tiffany’s expression stiffened. Looking at George with a sense of loss, she felt more upset. "George, I was talking about our past," she said.
Her voice was soft, but there was a hint of clenched teeth.
George got the idea and suddenly lost his appetite for the food in front of him.
He remembered what his grandfather once told him.
A businessman’s interest should not be excessively mixed with personal feelings.
He indeed had let Tiffany down, but up to now, he had tried to make up for her loss, but no more than that...
Perhaps there wasn’t much he could do now.
The incident online indeed had influenced the image of the River Clan. George’s eyes relayed an exhausted expression, "What do they say at the company?" he asked calmly.
Tiffany bit her lip lightly, her voice was soft, "The company’s suggestion is for me to voluntarily leave the group."
Upon saying the last two words, her face turned pale, and her eyes reddened. "George, I don’t want to leave the group. You know, my dream was to debut," she said.
She reached out to hold his hand, her eyes pleading.
George casually pulled his hand back, his expression tired, "If you don’t want to leave the group, then apologize," he said lightly.
Tiffany was stunned, her throat tightened, "George, you want me to...apologize?"
The ticket-switching incident wasn’t entirely her doing, but now he wanted her to apologize for it?
Tiffany couldn’t accept it.
She was used to being on top, every problem encountered since participating in the talent show was always solved by the company and George. Now, they were asking her to apologize.
