Chapter 357
But Cherry needed to be sure. She needed closure. So she decided to see James one last time.Luckily for her, James agreed to meet her gladly. He took her out, they ate together, and after that, he took her shopping. Cherry bought a lot of things, pretending everything was fine. Then they went to a bar, where Cherry made sure James drank a lot. She waited patiently until he was drunk enough, then she asked him again about the managing director position.James told her the truth. Everything that happened that day was real. He no longer had any say in his father’s company and hat was the closure Cherry needed.She excused herself, telling him she was going to the bathroom, and left him there at the bar. When she got home, she sent him a message, telling him it was over between them and that he should never contact her again.Since then, she had been avoiding James completely.To her, both James and Nolan were no longer needed in her life. In her eyes, they were both poor losers.James,
Chapter 356
Nolan genuinely believed that Cherry was sorry and that she had realized her mistake. He thought she had come to apologize because she felt bad about what she did. He never expected to hear her admit so boldly that everything was fake, that the apology meant nothing, and that she only did all of that because of what she wanted to gain from him.Nolan felt used and that realization hit him harder than the insults themselves. He had been nothing but calm and respectful, and yet, to her, he was just a means to an end. Someone to step on if necessary.He took in a deep breath, then another because he didn’t want to get angry. He didn’t want to lose his cool and say something he might regret later. He clenched his jaw slightly as he forced himself to stay calm.“You know what,” he said finally, his voice low but firm. “I’ll let this slide because of who Gabriel is to me, and because I got to know you through his girlfriend. But this won’t happen again. If it does, you’ll regret it badly.”

Meanwhile, after Nolan finished speaking to his grandfather, he immediately called Debby to ask for the name of Cherry’s dad’s company. He decided to sort everything out before walking back inside the restaurant. Debby wasted no time at all and gave him the name. Nolan quickly forwarded it to Elizabeth, and she replied almost instantly that she would work on it immediately.Nolan wanted to ask for details, to know exactly what she was going to do, but Elizabeth stopped him. She told him not to worry and to just let her handle the situation. She assured him that in a few minutes, everything would be solved. Nolan didn’t push further because he trusted her.Before he even left that spot outside the restaurant, Elizabeth got back to him again, telling him that the issue was already being handled and settled. Nolan wasn’t surprised, but he was still shocked. The whole thing didn’t even take up to ten minutes.Inside the restaurant, Cherry had just finished talking to her dad on the phone

“How did this happen?” Cherry asked quickly. “When did this happen? How are we suddenly getting investors? I thought all of them kept rejecting your offers. None of them were willing to help because the company is bankrupt.”Cherry had spoken to her father just the day before, and there had been no good news at all. His voice had sounded weak, like he was on the verge of giving up completely. She couldn’t believe that everything had changed so suddenly. It felt unreal.“I just got a call from my secretary,” her father said. “She told me we suddenly started receiving emails from investors. I don’t know how or why, but I’m just very happy.”He couldn’t keep the news to himself. The moment he heard what happened, he knew he had to call Cherry first. He knew how worried she had been about him and the company. He also knew she had been running around, begging people to help, doing everything she could.Cherry remained in shock, still struggling to believe what she was hearing. She knew how

Nolan stared at his grandfather’s number on his phone for a long moment, suddenly feeling bad that he hadn’t actually called in a very long time. Not that he had ever really called him before. He wasn’t used to the fact that he had a grandfather at all, so it was difficult for him to remember. They also didn’t live together, which made it even worse.Even so, Nolan was very grateful to his grandfather for finding him. Because of him, his life had completely changed. If it weren’t for his grandfather, Nolan didn’t even want to imagine how things would have played out for him. His life could have taken a very dark turn, and just thinking about it made his chest feel heavy.Nolan also felt weird and uncomfortable in general when it came to calling people. Talking on the phone had always made him uneasy. When it came to his grandfather, it was even worse. There was always this strange fear sitting in his chest whenever he thought about talking to him. He looked at the contact name on his

“If they’re okay?” Nolan cut in, frowning. “Are your parents sick?”“I would say they are,” Cherry said with a sad chuckle. “They’re dealing with something huge, and it’s just been a lot. I don’t even know how to explain it properly, but it’s affecting them financially, mentally, emotionally, and even physically. Every time I see them, they look like they’re so close to losing their sanity. It’s really sad.”She paused and swallowed hard.“I have to go home almost every day just to check on them and make sure they’re fine. It’s taking a toll on me too. It’s difficult… really difficult.”Nolan listened quietly, surprised.From the way Cherry carried herself, from her looks and confidence, he would never have guessed that she was going through something like this.“My father invested in a startup company,” Cherry continued, her voice trembling slightly. “The company collapsed. He put in everything he had. He sold his assets, his landed properties, everything, just to invest in that star
