《Too Late to Regret》全部章節：第 221 章 - 第 230 章

Charlie looked at her for a moment, his gaze deep and unreadable.“My hands are sore,” he said.“They’re not,” she replied.“The water’s really cold now.”“No, it’s not.”“…”Looking at her drunken, clingy state, he softened a little.But only for a second. Then he picked her up from the water. A drunk combined with a cold would be a disaster.He wrapped her in a towel and dried her off.The drunk girl was very dissatisfied. Even though she was the one who had thrown up, when she leaned in and caught a whiff of the smell on him, she wrinkled her nose in disgust. “Stinky.”Charlie said calmly, “Mm, I’m stinky. You’re the sweetest.”He carried her out of the bathroom.Seeing the carpet stained and the air thick with an unpleasant odor, he decisively carried her to his own bedroom.Sinking into the fresh, clean pillows, the drunk curled up contentedly and closed her eyes.Charlie went to shower.As he came out, he heard a knock on the door from the hallway.He opened it and saw Jerry sta

He got up to open the door.Candice stayed seated in the dining room, continuing her meal.She was certain it would be that troublesome Jessica returning, so even when she heard footsteps, she kept eating slowly—mentally preparing a scathing “greeting.”Just thinking about how she fell for Jessica’s trap this time made her angry.The combination of emotional distress and shame over her own poor judgment was no less embarrassing than getting drunk and acting out—deeply regrettable when sober.Footsteps approached from outside.But…In walked a strikingly fashionable British couple.The man had golden hair and blue eyes, refined features, and pale skin with a sickly pallor—giving off a slightly gloomy aura.The woman had cool-toned chestnut-brown hair, sharp features, and looked nearly 1.8 meters tall. Her aura was that of a top model.Their outfits were also stylish and clearly expensive.They looked straight at Candice.Their gaze was direct—like she was an art piece on display at a g

In a small alley cafe, the three of them sat waiting after placing their coffee orders.Last night, they had "forced" Evelyn to reveal the true nature of the so-called networking event. After hearing the details, their determination to attend was more solidified. Well, okay, Jerry didn’t agree, but one arm couldn’t overpower two.Especially Rex's arm, which could probably strangle him with just half of it.From Evelyn's explanation, the event was organized by a business association.FG Society.An association mainly composed of top-tier businessmen.Although it's called a business association, its members were quite diverse—some with power, some with wealth, some with fame, and others with special talents. For example, various geniuses in different fields, like hackers, and even criminals—some borderline high-IQ dangerous individuals were also recruited.The association had a strict hierarchy, and the various levels of members created a kind of ecosystem.Exchanging interests, schemin

Candice stood quietly, waiting for him to approach.She wasn’t afraid of his cold expression—who was he trying to intimidate?Jerry: Oh, God...Rex, excited, rushed forward as if he had just found his long-lost father. “Master Clemens, I’m here!”Charlie, with a stern face, looked as though he was ready to hit him.“What did I tell you?”Rex, unbothered, shrugged and spread out his black suit like a rebellious teenager. “If you’re angry, just hit me. I’m here anyway—go ahead, hit me.”Charlie furrowed his brows deeply, unable to do anything to this tough, thick-skinned brat.He looked away, his gaze filled with murderous intent, passing right over Candice and landing on Jerry, who was trying to hide behind her. “Get over here.”Jerry wanted to cry.I knew it! I knew this would happen!!He dared not approach. Instead, he tried to explain to Charlie from a distance, through Candice and Rex. “...I really tried to stop him! I couldn’t control him!”“Come here. I won’t hit you.”“...”Yeah

“It’s a buttercream cake.”“This looks good.”“Thank God, finally something edible!”The guests were nearly in tears.Since they arrived on the island, no one had eaten anything, and by now, everyone was getting quite hungry. Furthermore, if they didn’t eat now, they would have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to leave, and who knew if the breakfast and dinner tomorrow would also feature dark cuisine. But tonight, they were certainly going to be hungry.Now, they understood the value of this dessert!The servants brought out individual servings of buttercream sponge cake to each guest.The transparent crystal glass bowls were layered with fresh fruit, cream, sponge cake, and jam. Just the sight of it was a delight, and the aroma was even more tempting— the scent of milk mixed with fruit, making everyone’s fingers itch to dig in.Candice particularly loved these little cakes.The other guests also began tasting the dessert.She picked up her spoon, took a small bite, then hesitated.
