Nora Lewis got into a relationship with me to help the Lewis Group.

I loved her, and I wouldn't mind if she didn't love me.

Even when Nora used my money to finance her childhood sweetheart, Ethan Murphy, I didn't care about it.

The Lewis Group was about to go bankrupt, and I invested three hundred million dollars for Nora to marry me.

I had never touched Nora, but she told me she was pregnant on our first day of marriage, and I willingly raised the child from her and Ethan.

In the end, Nora joined forces with Ethan to get me killed.

Before I died, Nora said, "It's been seven years. You've made me sick for seven years."

Finally, she inherited my entire fortune, and she spent my money with another man.

——

When I opened my eyes again, I was sitting in the living room of my house, and Nora, who was across the table from me, told me compassionately, "Zachary, I'll marry you if you invest three hundred million dollars for the Lewis Group."

Although my friends who came to my home for the party were used to this kind of situation, they were still dumbfounded by the fact that Nora asked me to invest three hundred million dollars indignantly.

I wasn't sure I was reborn until Nora picked up a cup of coffee someone had been drinking and threw it in my face.

As I looked at the woman in front of me whom I had loved for more than a decade, and she ended up joining forces with another man to get me killed, I felt so heartbroken that I couldn't breathe.

"Zachary, I know you're overjoyed, but you should have financed the Lewis Group first. Otherwise, even if you give me the money afterward, I won't marry you.

"If it weren't for the Lewis Group, I wouldn't even be in love with you, and you're nothing compared to Ethan.

"By the way, Zachary, I want an island as my wedding present."

In my previous life, I promised Nora everything she asked for in order to marry her.

However, even though I gave everything the best in the world to Nora, I still couldn't compare anything to Ethan in her mind.

I remembered what had happened in the past.

The Lewis Group had been struggling to make ends meet since a year ago.

Nora came to me in humiliation at that time. She told me she would date me if I financed the Lewis Group, so I agreed.

Since the Lewis Group was in trouble, they could have taken out a loan or filed for bankruptcy, but they had none of them.

Instead, they chose to come to me and ask me to take the opportunity to get into a relationship with Nora.

Given the Lewis family's situation back then, the loan was costly. Moreover, they could not necessarily afford to pay back the loan.

They were more than likely not to file for bankruptcy because even though the Lewis family wasn't a powerful family in Hampton, they were well-respected, and filing for bankruptcy would ruin their reputation.

That was why Nora came to me and asked me to be the easy touch. She knew very well that I loved her and that I wouldn't refuse her requests, so she could rightfully ask me for it without having to pay anything.

"Zachary, are you going to watch the Lewis Group go bankrupt?"

"Zachary, there is nothing to be gained by loving someone, and now Nora is willing to marry you. Why don't you agree to her right now?"

"Zachary, Nora loves Ethan, and she's aggrieved that she's in love with you. Just consider the three hundred million dollars as your compensation to her instead of helping the Lewis Group out."

Her family, who came with Nora, were also indignantly blaming me.

They were living in a house bought with my money and getting carried away in front of me.

They used my money to buy cars and luxury items, and they kept blaming me.

I didn't say a single word.

In an instant, the whole living room was silent.

I thought I had given a lot to Nora, but she was ungrateful.

I took a few tissues to wipe the coffee off my face.

At this moment, I couldn't believe that I suddenly felt ridiculous.

It turned out I was so stupid. They looked down on me so much while I was still eager to date her.

Her family panicked when they saw that I stayed silent.

Nora's sister, Audrey, tugged at her shirt.

"Nora, Zachary is the president of the Anderson Group anyway, so didn't you go too far by pouring coffee on him in front of all these people? Besides, the Lewis Group is still waiting for his money. Why don't you apologize to him?"

"Well..."

Nora looked at me condescendingly, her eyes filled with disgust and mockery.

"If he's upset about it, we can break up."

"Okay! Let's break up!"

"Are you breaking up with me?"

As I calmly threw the tissues into the trash, I repeated seriously and clearly, "Right, I'm breaking up with you, so you don't have to force yourself."

Nora frowned, her eyes filled with disbelief, "What are you babbling about?"

"I'm serious. Do you need me to call security to get you out of here?"

Nora instantly looked annoyed. "Zachary, you'd better mean it!"

Her family seemed to have regained their confidence to speak.

"Zachary, don't regret what you said.

"I'm waiting for you to come to our house and beg for Nora's forgiveness, and she won't agree with you so easily then."

"Don't worry. I won't forgive him even if he dies in front of me this time."

As soon as Nora gave me an extremely disdainful look, she left with her family.

The others had been so scared to speak.

George Cooper probed over and asked, "Did you mean it?"

I didn't say anything.

"If you regret it, you should hurry up and chase her. You love her so much, so she'll be touched by you one day," George advised me seriously.

"No need." I shook my head calmly.

George suddenly didn't know what to say, and finally, he just shook his head.

"If you need my help, just let me know. After all, you can't truly die in front of her, and at most we'll go with you to apologize."

I looked at George and burst out laughing.

It turned out that I could humiliate myself without any limits for Nora in their eyes.

I drank a lot with some friends that day.

The depression of my previous life made me unable to control my alcohol addiction.

The next day, when I returned to the company, I called the supervisor in charge of the bidding to my office.

"Nora took the bid document for the lot in Blanton from your office the other day, didn't she?" I asked indifferently as I sat back in my chair.

"Yes, Mr. Anderson. Ms. Lewis told me you asked her to take it away."

In a previous life, Nora gave Ethan the bid document for the lot in Blanton.

Ethan knew the Anderson Group's reserve price based on this bid document, so he bid on the lot.

Besides, the lot was paid off by Nora with my money.

The Anderson Group lost a hundred million dollars over this.

Later, when I asked Nora why she did so, she said without concern, "You've already got so much money, so it doesn't matter if you lose a bit of it. Ethan's company is just starting out, and he needs this opportunity more than you do."

Before I could ask Nora further, she casually took out a tie, which she said she had just bought for me while shopping.

I was so moved by the tie, and the bid document was not as valuable as the tie to me.

Until the day that I got into the accident, I still wore that tie, which was worth a couple hundred dollars.

"Give me that bid document," I said calmly.

"Okay."

Though the supervisor of the bidding department didn't understand why, he brought the bid document to me.

Unexpectedly, Nora took the vital document casually at the company in my name.

Looking at the bid document, I was ready and waiting to make fun of Ethan.
