Next One Is a Babe

However, at this point, Bryce would very much love to listen to Ian saying nice words, even though Ian was unwilling to do so. It would be much better than the way the man currently spoke—every word was sharp and hurtful.

Bryce had no other way to speak to him, so he remained silent for a few seconds before saying, “When you are free, do come over. I can meet you at any time. Once you have made the arrangements and settled your company issues, I have something to tell you too.”

Ian directly said, “I heard that you appointed an attorney.”

That was enough to render Bryce speechless.

After sensing the silence, Ian continued, “It wasn't Sean who told me this; it was Leah. She called me a few times and told me that you found an attorney. Her position is now unstable and she asked me what has been going on.”

Bryce could not contain himself and viciously noted, “It seems like they still haven’t given up. They really thought I was about to die and were waiting for the inheritance.”

It was only after thinking about those words that Ian responded, “If what you planned to tell me is related to this, you can forget it. I don’t care about how you divide your assets. Even if you feel guilty for what you have done to me and want to make it up to me, there’s no need for this.”

He paused for a second before continuing, “If you have really repented and think that you were wrong back then, apologize to my mom. You ruined her whole life. She is a headstrong person. Even if you guys haven’t spoken to each other for many years now, she still holds a grudge on what happened in the past. I don’t need your compensation—my life is still good even without you. If you really are sorry, the easiest thing you can do is to apologize to the people whom you have hurt.”

In fact, Ian also knew that it was difficult to ask Bryce to apologize to Aurora.

She was different from Sean, who was irreplaceable to Bryce.

He would be willing to lower himself in front of Sean, but he would definitely be unwilling to do so in front of Aurora.

However, Ian did not force Bryce to do so. After saying all that, he gently sighed. “You decide for yourself. I just want to mention this to you, but the final decision remains with you.” He also wasn’t expecting Bryce to immediately reply.

With that, he continued, “Check your schedule. After some discussion here, I think tomorrow or the day after is fine. I will call you beforehand for the preparations. If there are no other matters, that’s all.”

Bryce was still silent. Upon realizing that, Ian immediately hung up.

As he did not return to his room to answer the call, Cindy had heard everything.

She hugged him from behind and said, “Don’t be annoyed. Even if he is unwilling to compromise on the surface, I bet he has already known his mistakes deep down and feels sorry about it.”

After placing his phone back into his pocket, Ian buried his hand in them as well. “I hope so. I just want my mom to let this matter go.”

Since Bryce did not say anything, Ian knew that Aurora had always remembered what happened between them both.

She had been quarelling with Bryce and wanted to see him fail so that she could insult him when she merely wanted to vent her anger in reality.
