Goodbye, My Love

Chapter 967

It was all because of the man who had pledged to help him. His promises had convinced Hurley to change his

mind.

However, the situation had taken a turn for the worse and Hurley found himself shouldering the entirety of the

blame.

In a frenzied flurry, Hurley punched a number into his phone, his fingers tapping the screen rapidly.

The man had left him his number that day.

After a few heart-pounding moments, a gruff voice answered on the other end. Hurley wasted no tin blurting

out his urgent plea.

I've done everything you asked of me. Now that things have turned out this way, you can’t just sit there and do

nothing. You have to help me!”

Silence hung on the line for what felt like an eternity before the voice on the other end erupted in derisive

Laughter.

“What are you on about? What did | supposedly ask you to do? I've done nothing.”

Hurley froze, dumbfounded. Anger surged through his veins.

“You swore to grantownership of a shop in the new commercial district once everything was settled. That's

the reason | agreed to assist you!”

But before he could voice any more grievances, the Line abruptly went dead. Hurley dialed the number again,

desperately hoping for a response, only to be met with the cold, mechanical voice of the system, stating that the

Duran looked at Reynolds, a wave of embarrassment washing over him.

“Reynolds, you assuredthat this twe would succeed. It was because of that assurance that | made a

commitment to Hurley. What are we going to do now? Loraine has managed to slip away again.”

A scornful snort escaped Reynolds’ lips.

“She won't be fortunate enough to escape next time. It’s all Hurley's fault, a worthless piece of trash! Clean up

this mess and don’t let him get under your skin.”

Meanwhile, the CEO's office exuded an eerie calmness. The peacefulness followed the recent resolution of a

treacherous crisis that had loomed over them.

Jolie turned to Loraine and said cheerfully, “The tides of public opinion have taken a thrilling turn in favor of the

new business district, all thanks to this calamity. It appears to have been a hidden blessing!”

However, Loraine’s expression betrayed no hint of joy. Her face, etched with worry Lines, was masked with

gravity and deep concern.

Perplexed, Jolie arched an inquisitive brow.

“Are there any other problems?”

Loraine gave a solemn nod in response.
