Chapter 154
Jason and Hailey chatted about daily life for a bit, and then the conversation turned to Eleanor, and Jason’s expression darkened gradually…
“Over the past few years, Eleanor and Bernard, they weren’t really a couple, because they only signed an agreement.”
“But Eleanor’s love for Bernard was real. If it wasn’t for this love, Eleanor might’ve had a hard time bouncing back…”
Hailey didn’t hide anything from him, telling him the truth, hoping he could move on as soon as possible.
Turns out all the changes that happened were because of him. Eleanor fell in love with Bernard in order to forget him.
Jason struggled to find words to describe the overwhelming emotions consuming him in that moment. The fractures in his heart seemed to widen, threatening to swallow him bit by bit.
“You’ve missed your chance with her. It’s best to let go,” Hailey advised, her voice filled with a mix of sympathy and concern. With those words, she opened the car door and stepped out.
Jason sank against the car seat, leaning his head back and shutting his bloodshot eyes. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Suddenly, his bodyguard received an urgent call and hurriedly approached the car, tapping on the window. “Mr. Clowers, the chairman is calling.”
Jason’s expression remained indifferent as he took the phone from the bodyguard. Through the line, President Clowers‘ weak and elderly voice resonated. “Jason, it’s time for you to return to B City.”
Jason didn’t respond, just looked up at the apartment building.
He lost Eleanor because of the Clowers family.
At the time, he blamed Eleanor for selling her body and had a fierce argument with her, leading to her angrily leaving. It was then when people from the Clowers family showed up.
It wasn’t his brother who came then, but the housekeeper. They took him back to the Clowers family forcefully without considering his consent. He could only escape by jumping out of the car, but it didn’t change anything, and in the end, he was still taken back home.
By the time he returned home, he had lost his memory and couldn’t remember anything.
His brother told him that they were twins, and during their birth, something happened at home.
Some relatives tried to seize the inheritance of the Clowers family and kidnapped their whole family.
During the kidnapping, an accident occurred, his mother died, and his father became a vegetable.
He, on the other hand, was picked up by human traffickers, sold for two years, and was sent to an orphanage after his foster parents died.
His brother was luckier and, under his father’s protection, survived the ordeal and was later found by the housekeeper.
Over the years, his brother had worn himself out trying to reclaim the family inheritance, and before finding him, he had already been diagnosed with brain cancer.
To keep the Clowers family they had just reclaimed, his brother had to forcefully take him back home.
His brother knew about Eleanor’s existence, but thought that someone like her wouldn’t help him and would only interfere with his fight against the relatives who covet the Clowers family, so he hid the fact
that he had lost his memory.
He didn’t expect Eleanor to actually come to the Clowers family to look for him, pestering him. When she said something that shook him, his brother had no choice but to try to buy off the orphanage staff and destroy all their past photos. By the time he went to investigate, there was nothing to find.
So he just believed his brother’s words, thinking that Eleanor was a cunning liar, and ordered security to kick her out of the Clowers family.
Later, she still insisted on looking for him, but this completely enraged his older brother, who viciously hurt Eleanor, pretending to be him.
After that, Eleanor never looked for him again, and his brother sent him abroad to receive training.
In about three years, he absorbed all the knowledge he could with his talent.
When he came back to the Clowers family, he took over his brother’s position as the CEO, but by then his father was still in a coma, so his brother took the position of chairman.
After being the chairman for a year, his brother died. Not long after, his father woke up.
Now, the chairman of the Clowers Group is his father.
His father has only been awake for a year, so of course he doesn’t know about these things that his brother did.

Chapter 154
Jason, having regained all his memories, doesn’t have the heart to manage the Clowers Group now. If he could do it all over again, he would rather be Garrett, the one who was by Eleanor’s side.
Even if life was poor and tough, at least she would be by his side, but now…
Jason took a deep breath, and as President Clowers coughed and gasped for air, he heard him say, “Jason, the Clowers Group can’t go on without you, come home soon…”
The words “come home” were like a heavy burden on his heart, making it hard to breathe.
Although his father has woken up, he is crippled and can only spend the rest of his life in bed. The pain of losing his wife and children is making him depressed, and he is now hanging on by a thread..
If he doesn’t return to the Clowers family, the Clowers Group that his father and brother fought so hard to take back will fall into other people’s hands.
He clenched the phone tightly, pulling back his reluctant gaze and replied coldly, “Fine.”
