Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss
Chapter 984 - Chapter 984 Chapter 957 The Cause of a Past Life and the Fruit

Chapter 984: Chapter 957: The Cause of a Past Life and the Fruit of This Life Chapter 984: Chapter 957: The Cause of a Past Life and the Fruit of This Life Zeke Sean had long been accustomed to chasing after the Third Brother of Yuno Family, and to her sense of distance from him, but he really couldn’t accept her current indifference towards him.

Because she didn’t care, she was completely oblivious to the cruelty of her impact on him.

“If you feel reluctant, then take it back. I’ll choose another gift for Kiara.”

“Do as you please.” Zeke Sean, who had never spoken harshly to Amelia, showed emotion for the first time, his face, usually brimming with smiles, was now filled with disappointment.

“Oh, then I’ll pick something else. Are you going to drive and drop me off?”

Zeke Sean silently watched her, thinking that if hell truly existed in this world, he was sure he was already in it at that moment.

He would have rather she argued with him, explained to him–anything would have been fine, just not like it was now. His heart had turned to frost, yet she acted as if nothing was amiss.

Their worlds were separated by an era, an era known as emotion.

“Zeke Sean?” Amelia waved her hand in front of his eyes, and Zeke Sean pushed her away, his cold expression matched by his icy voice.

“Get a cab yourself, I’m very busy.”

As he turned away, he didn’t see the look on her face as she watched him go–not a look of indifference, but one that held a cold and profound gaze.

Kiara caught this scene just as she came out.

Indri Yuno cast a strange glance at Zeke Sean’s retreating back, and from Kiara’s angle, she could see the tear in the corner of Zeke Sean’s eye as he turned away, as well as Indri’s inscrutable expression, one even psychological experts would struggle to read.

Amelia didn’t leave much time for Kiara to speculate; the abnormal moment lasted only a few seconds before she hailed another car and left without hesitation.

Zeke Sean walked towards the parking lot, his soul seemingly departed, and found his car.

On the co-pilot’s seat lay a bunch of lush green roses, quietly resting.

The flowers, from overseas, had a beautiful name, Green Sea Blue Sky.

If not for the recent incident, they would have been held by that carefree woman who broke his heart, and he had foolishly fantasized about possibly receiving her smile, her praise.

But now, even the flowers seemed to mock his overestimation of himself.

That woman’s heart was wider than the sea, higher than the sky. In her colorful world, he simply didn’t exist; cruelly labeled as a childhood friend, he was tossed into an insignificant corner.

It was hot, and Zeke Sean felt like he might have suffered heatstroke, dizzy and light-headed, with uncontrollable tears sliding down his eyes. He leaned against the car without rushing to open the door. Instead, he pulled out a cigarette, beginning to wonder what exactly he had been doing over the past few years.

He counted the days and calculated when that carefree girl might come back.

When she returned, he considered where he should take her for fun and food.

He thought about what gifts he should give her and how he might spend just a little more time with her.

Last year, when he had pretended to be her boyfriend to get rid of a suitor, Zeke Sean thought dawn might be breaking, and he still had hope.

So, he tried even harder.

He considered her as a mountain he, as the Foolish Old Man, would move eventually day by day, sooner or later.

But he had greatly overestimated his own endurance and underestimated her stubbornness. Not only wasn’t the sky lighting up, it seemed to grow even darker.

Since she didn’t want his devotion, why should he keep waiting for her? Starting now, he decided to become a carefree person–if she loved to play, he would join her, if she disliked his gifts, he would discard these feelings!

Having made up his mind, Zeke Sean was now ready to leave this heart-wrenching place, to find a dozen women to accompany him; he refused to believe he couldn’t live without Indri Yuno!

Just as he was about to open the car door, a hand pressed against it, preventing him from moving. Zeke Sean, overjoyed, thought Indri had come back, but when he turned around, he was deeply disappointed.

Kiara was standing behind him.

“Sorry, but something came up today so I have to leave early, convey my best wishes for your marriage to the youngest brother.”

Zeke Sean felt a sense of loss upon realizing Amelia wasn’t there, and simultaneously despised himself. That woman had severed all ties, what was he still expecting?

“Do you know which idiom you remind me of at this moment?” Kiara asked.

“A dog that has lost its home?” Zeke Sean said mockingly. He had been rejected in such a manner by the woman he liked, right in front of his own brother’s woman.

“Not quite. To be ‘a dog that has lost its home,’ you’d actually need to have had a home to begin with. When did she ever promise you that?”

biu~

An arrow struck straight into Zeke Sean’s heart. His already bleeding heart was ruthlessly stabbed again by Emma Clark, the sharp-tongued woman.

But it seemed Kiara thought that wasn’t enough, and she continued.

“There’s an idiom called ‘the lament of a gray-haired woman,’ which describes the desolate sighs of a woman abandoned. The way you look right now instantly brings that phrase to mind.”

The corners of Zeke Sean’s mouth twitched, “You’re even more disgusting than Edward Wheeler’s youngest brother. Do you take pleasure in mocking me? Does building your happiness on my pain satisfy you? Does it somehow make up for the pain of your groom being absent from your wedding banquet?”

At that moment, Zeke Sean was like a wounded beast, defensive around anyone, especially as Kiara deliberately rubbed salt into his wounds. He didn’t even care about brotherly loyalty anymore and simply retorted sharply.

“Let me correct you on one thing. Although the groom was absent from my wedding banquet, I don’t feel any pain because his heart has always been with me. We’ve completed all the necessary ceremonies, and this banquet is just a formality. But you are different. She was physically not far from you, but her heart was ten thousand miles away from yours.”

Oh, my God!

Please, bring back this venomous-tongued girl!

Zeke Sean roared inside. Couldn’t she see that he was already heartbroken? Was it really necessary to provoke him?

Well, unrequited love is still a form of love!

“I don’t recall doing anything to wrong you two, did I?” Zeke Sean asked, his voice lacking energy. If Kiara had come to strike at him, she had succeeded. He had been deeply hurt by her attacks.

“Far from it. You’ve been nothing but good to us. Edward has many friends, but you are surely the most important one to him.”

Zeke Sean and Edward Wheeler had been close friends since they wore split-bottom pants.

Except for the times when Edward went to university, they grew up together.

Even when they chose different paths, it did not affect their brotherly bond.

Because of his loyalty to Edward, Zeke Sean also took special care of Kiara.

In the past few years, whenever Edward was too busy, if Kiara needed help, it was inevitably Zeke Sean who turned up.

Kiara wasn’t fond of the canteen, so Edward asked Zeke Sean to open a Hot Pot Restaurant in Linville. Kiara ate there without ever spending a dime. Of course, Kiara also gave some advice on business management, which benefited Zeke Sean immensely.

Their families had always been close, so Kiara’s seemingly extra digs today seemed especially cruel.

“For the sake of my relationship with Youngest, please stop provoking me.”

Zeke Sean turned around, drained. All he wanted now was to find a quiet place to lick his wounds.

“What’s next for you, then? Are you planning to live a dissolute life, indulging yourself?”

Kiara’s words made him turn stiffly, his eyes seemingly saying, how did you know?

Seeing his reaction, Kiara knew she had guessed right.

She sighed internally.

So that was it.
