Chapter 262 "Seriously, you chose Leanne over ElitePinnacle not because of being straight with love?" Devín teased.

Curtis sat back, his long legs crossed, hands clasped casually on his knees. His slender fingers caught the light, the wedding band on his ring finger shining brightly.

Leanne had taken off her wedding ring months ago, yet he still wore his.

Curtis straightened up a bit, his usually lax demeanor turning serious, “ElitePinnacle was founded for her. She's the one who cup with the name." Selina and Joy exchanged surprised glances.

The glow from the screen reflected in Leanne's clear eyes, making them shine like marbles.

She watched the screen in silence, her profile calm.

Back when they were newlyweds, still a bit awkward around each other. He had told her about his dream to start a company and asked for her help in naming it.

ElitePinnacle was what she had given him, a blessing and a hope for the future.

She hadn't known then that ElitePinnacle was essentially his tribute to her.

Devin blurted out, incredulous, "ElitePinnacle was created for Leanne?" "I never mentioned it?" Curtis said.

"You definitely did not!" Devin exclaimed.

Curtis, lounging on the couch, tapped his fingers on his knee thoughtfully before speakin slowly, "If I hadn't married her, I'd probably just be drifting along, living a rebellious and aimless life. I could afford to be a nobody, but couldn't bear to make her the wife of a nobody. How could I support her if I was a failure?" He had never shared these struggles with anyone, battling family conflicts and personal demons alone.

Devin, with his heart in the right place, had laid Curtis' true feelings bare for all to see.

The seemingly carefree Mr. Curtis had someone he truly cared for in his heart.

Who he loved was no longer a question.

At the end of the video, Devin asked him, "Then why did you say you loved Suzan more last time?" That was a sore point for Leanne and a hurdle Curtis struggled to get over.

1/2 13:31 Chapter 262 He didn't like it being brought up, his gaze turning cold, "Don't makepunch you." Devin held up a mask, “Look at Leanne and tell me." Curtis couldn't help but laugh.

Looking at the mask, under the spotlight, his eyes softened in a way he had never shown anyone else.

"Because I was immature and stupid, thinking that if she didn't love me, saying those things would hurt her." The room went so silent, you could've heard a feather fall. Joy was frozen mid-sip of her milkshake.

"I lied," Curtis' voice was deep and sincere, "She's the only one I've ever loved in my life." Leanne leaned back in her chair, lost in thought.

In the dim light of the screen, Suzan changed her expression unpredictably.

She knew why Devin had intentionally not called her.

Faintly, Leanne thought she heard Devin call Curtis.

It wasn't a sound captured in the video, real as if it was happening right there but as faint as an illusion.

She instinctively looked back toward where Devin was standing in the dim light, she thought she saw a tall and dignified figure next to him.

Suddenly, the lights cut out, the video ended, and the screen went black, removing the room's only source of E! light. A few seconds later, the ceiling lights flickered back on.

There was no one standing next to Devin.

He stood at the back, under Leanne's gaze, with a look that said, "Don't look at me. I know nothing." 2/2
