Chapter 6

Mason suddenly attacked, directly pointing at Allegra, who had secretly returned to the country.

Bernard was caught off guard and instinctively denied, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"At a time like this, you still try to hide things from me? Do you really think I'm senile?"

Mason was particularly angry.

From their earlier conversation in the study, Eugenie had made one valid point.

If Eugenie hadn't informed him today about Allegra's return to the country, Bernard would have continued these underhanded activities right under his nose!

He had to rely on Eugenie, Bernard's fiancée, to learn about Bernard's secret indiscretions.

This made Mason, who already found Bernard lacking in maturity due to the broken engagement, even more displeased.

He warned Bernard, "Remember what I'm telling you. Stop associating with questionable people. You're not young anymore—it's time to grow up."

Bernard's face darkened as he quietly responded, "I understand, Grandfather."

He and Eugenie walked a step behind Mason.

When given the opportunity, Bernard, with a grim expression, sarcastically asked Eugenie, "So this was your real purpose today. Are you happy now? I knew you were the type of woman who wouldn't let things go."

Eugenie was baffled, feeling he was being irrational again, "What are you talking about?"

"Obviously, about you tattling to my grandfather."

He let out a cold laugh, as if he'd seen through Eugenie's intentions for the day, "You weren't satisfied with the drama already created, so you complained to my grandfather about Allegra to get him on your side?"

"You didn't come today for a divorce at all. Your goal was just to bring in my grandfather as your champion against Allegra. How did I almost marry someone like you?"

As he spoke, Bernard looked at Eugenie with particular contempt and disgust.

A sense of indescribable disappointment flashed through his mind.

He had thought Eugenie had some backbone.

Naturally, Eugenie had no idea what Bernard was thinking.

She just felt this man had too many assumptions, and calmly said, "Allegra's return is a fact. Are you denying that you went to see her on our engagement day? Since you did it, stop being so insecure and pushing everything onto me."

Bernard felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

When had Eugenie turned into this sharp-tongued, crude woman?

His disappointment transformed into irritation at his misjudgment, and he spoke to Eugenie with increasing hostility, "If anything happens to Allegra, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

Eugenie sighed inwardly, mentally rolling her eyes, not understanding his logic.

Her patience with Bernard was exhausted, and she coldly explained one last time, "I didn't tattle on anyone. If you don't believe me, fine, but stop judging me with your twisted thinking. Don't forget..."

She drew out her words.

Looking meaningfully at Bernard's lower body, "You still need something from me."

Bernard's reputation was still in her hands.

Bernard's expression was extremely unpleasant. He tightened his jaw, silently clenched his fists, and took a deep breath.

The shame and anger toward Eugenie nearly boiled over.

After going downstairs, he turned and left, instructing the staff, "Show our guest out. See Ms. Medici off."

Then he looked coldly at Eugenie and sneered, "Since Ms. Medici doesn't want to be my fiancée, I'm sure she has no interest in lingering here."

"I'm leaving now."

Unexpectedly, a firm voice declared from the side, "Eugenie will stay tonight."

"Mr. Mason Grayson?" Eugenie pursed her lips, wanting to refuse. "I'd rather not stay here tonight."

Mason looked over, brooking no argument, "What, do you have other plans?"

She sighed, feeling transparent in Mason's presence, unable to even fabricate an excuse.

In the end, Mason firmly arranged for both Eugenie and Bernard to enter the same room—one with an ashen face, the other completely silent.

After the door closed, Bernard waited to see Eugenie's delighted expression, "You've achieved your goal."

Instead, Eugenie didn't even glance at him, walking straight past Bernard to take out bedding and make a place on the floor, calmly lying down fully clothed.

"Well played, Eugenie," Bernard said, almost viciously.

He increasingly couldn't understand what this woman wanted!

As for Eugenie, she never once looked at Bernard, refusing to let him disturb her sleep.

She naturally missed seeing Bernard's almost humiliated expression.

Deep into the night, the room was silent except for two faint breathing patterns.

Eugenie had gone to bed early but found herself unable to sleep, aware of the matters weighing on her mind.

She quietly took out her phone's notes app, deciding to keep herself occupied.

Her previous life?

Even she couldn't say clearly whether this was a warning dream from heaven or if she had truly died in the cold seawater.

But just as Mason needed verification, Eugenie was also verifying things.

What she was doing now was meticulously recording everything she could remember that would happen in the future, down to the smallest details.

Perhaps it could help her on this completely different path.

She quietly recalled, "After the engagement party, the Williams family shareholders took advantage to raise funds. Even my grandparents... Half a month later, an obscure foreign stock surged... Plus industry collapses, policy benefit changes..."

Thousands of words, whether useful or not, Eugenie recorded everything.

In her previous life, she had lived in a rush.

Especially after the engagement, it was absolute chaos. Eugenie herself lived in a daze, dealing with both Rhea's targeting during wedding preparations and external attacks on the Williams family. She was constantly on her feet, thinking she wouldn't remember so many details.

Surprisingly, she remembered everything clearly.

She had chosen wrong back then, and this time Eugenie truly no longer loved Bernard.

She could finally see clearly what was happening around her. Eugenie had never felt so clear-headed before.

Finally, she typed a name, but her fingertips hovered over the phone, her heart heavy with deep regret, almost unable to continue writing.

Nicholas Whitaker.

Eugenie squeezed her eyes shut, clutching the phone to her chest, and sighed.

Her previous life had been rushed, but her biggest regret wasn't even about herself, but about this man who was practically heaven's chosen one.

He was also one of the few people who had shown her kindness.

If she remembered correctly, Nicholas was the leader of the Whitaker family, whose status surpassed even the Grayson family. Nicholas was handsome, mysterious, and wealthy.

In her previous life, Eugenie had been so focused on the Grayson family that she hadn't recognized Nicholas's kindness.

By the time she realized, Nicholas had already died in a car accident.

If in this life she could use this opportunity to connect with the Whitaker family, it would be easier to reclaim Delta's assets!

Eugenie felt secretly delighted, suddenly feeling less lost.

Meanwhile, on the bed, Bernard was also awake, repeatedly glancing darkly toward Eugenie's direction on the floor.

Finally, he couldn't resist, getting up to mock her, "If you beg me to let you on the bed, I might consider it."

Sweet snoring sounds from the floor interrupted Bernard's stiff tone.

Eugenie was sound asleep!
