Chapter 256 I coldly retorted, "If you had any sense at all, you'd look back on everything you've done to me. There's no way you'd think I have even the slightest bit of attachment left for you." Steven slammed the table and stood up. "You're still mad that I made you sleep with Casper?" I tilted my chin up as I leaned back on the seat, staring at him from below. "Is that the only thing?" It was as if Steven couldn't hear me. "But I don't mind anymore!" I scoffed. At that moment, I realized I shouldn't have followed him out and talked to him.

When I stood up to leave, Steven rushed in front of me, blocking my path. "Anna..." I ignored him, walking past without a word. Glancing back at his despondent figure, I said calmly, "I've always been grateful that I chose to leave you." Back in the office, Zane, who had been diligently working, set aside his tasks and walked over to me. "Are you okay?" he asked.

I nodded. "I'm fine. It's just that I have no idea what's gotten into him. He's suddenly saying he regrets the divorce. It's as if he thinks we could've gotten back together just because he didn't want the divorce back then." I didn't bother hiding the disdain in my eyes. "He completely forgot that I was the one who filed for divorce. I was the one determined to leave, and I've never regretted it." I walked over to the couch and sat down. "Looking back, I endured so much injustice when I was with him. "Every tI suffered, I could've chosen to leave. But I kept telling myself he might change, so I stayed silent. Until things beccompletely irreparable." I sighed, feeling a mix of emotions. "Only today did I finally realize that the moment you sense something is wrong, you should let go immediately. Enduring just once can lead to a lifetof pain." Zane seemed to sense my sadness and wrapped his arms aroundin a comforting embrace.

I chuckled softly. "Do you think I was foolish back then?" "No," Zane said gently, patting my back. "Anna, you wanted to build a life together with him, but he trampled on your sincerity. That's not your fault." His embrace was warm and reassuring. It gavean inexplicable sense of security.

I closed my eyes, savoring the comfort of his hug.

"And besides, you had the courage to leave. That's already remarkable," Zane said softly.

"There are so many people in this world who never take that step." I smiled, agreeing with him, "That's true." The sound of someone knocking on the door broke the moment.

Zane releasedand, with his usual cool demeanor, said, "Cin." Eric entered and immediately sensed that something was off about the atmosphere. He glanced at Zane, who-as always-wore stoic expression.

But Eric could tell Zane was angry.

Not knowing what he might have done wrong, Eric cautiously approachedand asked, "Could I borrow your phone?" I raised an eyebrow, confused, but handed it to him anyway.

Eric snapped a few photos with my phone and tapped on the screen a few times.

I watched him curiously as he worked.

Returning the phone to me, Eric explained, "The new recruits have

already finished the design blueprints for the merchandise the content is of novelenglish.net!

Next, we'll send them to the factory to create prototypes Once ον confirmed, we can start mass production." I was surprised. "That fast?"

"Of course!" Eric replied proudly. "Huxham's philosophy issimple-never delay today's work until tomorrow." Since I rarely went to work, I asked out of 60sity, "Aren't they w about being given last-minute fasks by the company?"
