Ex-husband’s Regret

Chapter

750

Charlie talked about his ex-girlfriend every day, and Frank joked about her being his "true love," but he never denied it.

"Nina, tell me the truth. If you don't tell me the truth, I won't be able to help you," Rebecca urged.

Nina looked at Zachary and then shook her head vigorously at Rebecca.

Everyone present could tell there was something deeper going on, but Nina was afraid of Zachary and didn't dare to speak up.

"Don't look at him. Just tell your Mrs. Collins the truth so that she, along with Grandpa, Grandma, and your godfather, can understand whose fault it really is," Rebecca insisted. Nina bit her lip, hesitating for a long while before she finally spoke.

Zachary didn't stop her, he also wanted to hear how she would recount that night's

events.

"Mrs. Collins, actually, it was my fault..."

She stumbled over her words. "One night, Zachary got unhappy because Miss Greenwood brought her boyfriend and drank a bit too much, and he ended up getting himself drunk." The expressions of the crowd turned serious.

They had already investigated everything about Jane after hearing about her involvement with Zachary, even dispatching people to keep an eye on her recent movements.

They knew about her close relationship with a young man, but they hadn't expected that the outcome would be Zachary and her confirming their romantic relationship. Now he insisted he wouldn't marry anyone but her.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"Zachary... Zachary..."

Nina glanced around at everyone's faces, then timidly continued, "Zachary might have been too drunk and mistook me for someone else. He pulled me into a room, and we..."

She trailed off, "I resisted and kept telling him I wasn't Miss Greenwood, but he lost

his rationality, and I didn't have enough strength to push him away..."

Hearing this, Zachary's scrutinizing gaze fell on her, and he said coldly, "Nina, you've learnt quite a lot from the Collins family"

Nina shrank back, clearly afraid of Zachary, and awkwardly said, "Zachary, I already said you could just send me abroad. It was you who insisted on bringing me back to Jeswood. When Mrs. Collins came to see me and found me packing, I couldn't just lie." Zachary's voice was icy. "So you're saying it's wrong for me to let you return to pack your things before leaving with your grandfather?"

Nina's voice trembled with tears. "Zachary, if it hadn't reached this point, I definitely wouldn't have talked about that night. I took the morning-after pill, and I said I wouldn't use this to threaten you, but you accused me of trying to harm Miss Greenwood, and I just couldn't stand it anymore..."

Zachary frowned deeply, as if he had never known her.

Yet he said nothing, directly moving to pull his mother away.

Roy stepped in seamlessly to escort Nina away.

"Wait."

Sir Collins stood up, tall and imposing, his years in politics giving him an aura that made the air feel thick with pressure.

"If something really happened, Zachary, you have to take responsibility."

Zachary seemed to find it amusing. "Grandpa, if you hadn't broken us up back then, you'd have a great-grandson by now."

This was, of course, meant to provoke his grandfather.

He had clearly stated that he had no feelings for Nina, but his grandfather refused to believe him.

Determined to send Nina away, he had nearly let her be harmed abroad, which in turn made Zachary feel guilty.

After Nina returned to the country, he had allowed some small requests from her as compensation, which ultimately led to the events of that night.

Now to be told to take responsibility felt somewhat ridiculous.
