A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love

Aline, who had donated a staggering ten million dollars, stole the spotlight for a moment.

The crowd erupted in applause.

Aline stood up gracefully, bowing slightly to acknowledge the recognition.

She exuded confidence, viewing these moments as stepping stones towards entering the upper echelons of Duefron society. Her determination was clear.

She aimed to make Rena look up to her in the end.

As she sat back down, her gaze swept over Rena.

Today, she had brought a grand gift for Rena.

At that moment, the main screen displayed the school’s history and several important activities.

Most of the people in the audience were engaged in business talk and networking, paying no attention to what was being shown on the screen.

But after about twenty minutes, someone exclaimed, “Isn’t that Rena and Harold? They looked so young back then.”

A hush fell over the crowd.

Everyone turned their gaze to the screen, revealing Rena at twenty years old, standing beneath a majestic sycamore tree on the school grounds.

The scene was adorned with lush greenery and dappled shade.

The sun’s rays seeped through the tree’s branches, casting a radiant golden glow.

A young girl in a white dress bravely stopped Harold, who was also young.

Her face flushed slightly, but she mustered the courage to say, “Harold, I like you.”

In the video, Harold’s eyes appeared deep and thoughtful.

After a moment of silence, he gestured to Rena and said, “Get on the bike.”

Rena bit her lip and hopped onto the bike. As Harold pedaled, Rena held onto the hem of his white shirt…

The scene changed to the school library.

In the quiet afternoon, Rena had fallen asleep with her head resting on the desk, dark circles evident under her eyes.

Harold sat across from her, reading a book. When he noticed she was asleep, he gently placed the book down and observed her silently.

A minute Later, Harold leaned over and kissed Rena tenderly.

The entire banquet hall fell into silence. Whispers filled the air.

“Are they the most famous couple in our two schools?”

“I heard Harold liked Rena first.”

“Look at Waylen’s face, it’s turning green…”

Harold felt even more upset than Waylen did.

These memories had long been buried, almost forgotten, but now they resurfaced before him, forcing him to confront the past.

Even a fool could see that Harold liked Rena back then.

He liked her, even though he didn’t realize it.

His face twisted with pain. He struggled to control his emotions, not wanting to lose his composure.

He Loved Rena.

He loved her from the very beginning until the end. He was merely blinded by his ambition…

He knew these images must be making Waylen angry, but Harold couldn’t feel any sense of victory. Instead, he felt like the ultimate loser.

Aline raised her goblet towards Harold, smiling slyly. “Do you like it?”

It was designed to hurt Harold and create a rift between Rena and Waylen.

Indeed, the scenes stirred discomfort in Waylen.

Young love was a powerful thing.

When Rena fell for Harold, she embraced her feelings without hesitation. If not for the subsequent accident, Waylen believed Rena and Harold would have been together, married, and maybe even with children. The couple sitting here today would have been Harold and Rena.

That accursed library…

Waylen had always been composed, but now he had no desire to maintain his grace.

Grace was just another excuse for cowards. He was Waylen Fowler, and he didn’t need to hide his possessiveness for his wife.

Waylen pulled Rena to her feet.

Raising his glass, he smiled and said, “The Exceed Group will invest 100 million dollars in demolishing and rebuilding the school library.”

The entire hall fell into silence.

Waylen’s jealousy was evident, and he didn’t bother hiding it.

After his outburst, he left with his wife.

As they reached the entrance of the banquet hall, a hoarse voice called out, “Rena.”

Hearing this, Waylen tightly grasped Rena’s hand.
