From Betrayal to Brilliance Her Rise to a New Life novel Chapter 206

He’d been part of the recent scheme to separate Athena and Zaden, but they were still together. He had regretted his actions for a long time.

In the days since Athena left, his need for her had grown stronger.

Lewis clutched his stomach, his face going pale.

Drinking on an empty stomach had triggered his old stomach illness again.

Athena used to take care of him, helping him feel better whenever he was sick. Those bitter medicines he used to hate were actually lifesavers. Unfortunately, he had lost Athena while he was still treating her like she didn’t matter.

But by the time he’d pushed her away, it was already too late.

His phone suddenly buzzed. Lewis frowned impatiently and swiped to answer. On the other end came Nina’s tearful voice. “Lewis, do you really want to divorce me? Please, let’s not get divorced, okay? I don’t want to leave you.”

Lewis’s expression turned even colder. A sarcastic smile curved his lips. “So it wasn’t you who told Albas to go after Athena? You think I don’t know? You went that far, and you still think you can stay by my side?”

“I was just scared you’d go back to her. Lewis, please, let’s not get divorced, alright?” Nina sobbed.

Her desperate voice only made him feel emptier.

He didn’t feel an ounce of sympathy. His disgust for Nina had already reached its peak.

He had only married her to gain her family’s support. But instead of earning his grandfather’s favor, things had gotten worse ever since.

It was as if Nina was his curse.

Thinking this, Lewis’s face became cold. He said harshly, “It’s not up to you. I’ve already had someone pull some strings to file the papers! That’s it. Don’t call me unless it’s important.”

He was about to hang up when Nina’s voice suddenly turned sharp and hysterical.

“Lewis, do you really think divorcing me will make Athena forgive you? You think she’ll ever take you back after what you’ve done? You had a child with me! That’s a wound she’ll never forget!”

“Even if you divorce me, you can’t be with her again! She has Zaden now. Why would she even look at you?”

Chapter 206 Regrets

Lewis’s expression went gloomy and he immediately hung up the phone.

As the call ended, the noise stopped and the irritation in his heart cased a bit.

Lewis tilted his head back and drank the rest of the wine in his glass.
