Chapter 380
Lena, seeing right through Megan, thought to herself. “So that’s what this is about.”
She gave a small nod and replied calmly, “Yes, they broke up.”
A subtle breath of relief escaped from Megan.
Lena watched her closely, noting every shift in her expression. Then she asked directly, “Do you still have feelings for Sean?”
Megan was caught off guard for a second, clearly not expecting such a blunt question.
“I do,” she admitted openly. “That hasn’t changed over the years.”
Lena raised her brows in mild surprise. “You’re really something. If I remember right, it’s been… what, seven years now?”
“Yeah.” Megan lowered her gaze and responded softly.
Lena couldn’t help feeling a bit moved.
To love someone so persistently for so long was rare.
But feelings alone didn’t guarantee a future.
“It’s just that…” Lena gave her a gentle smile. “Sean still really loves Lottie. I think there’s a chance they might get back together.”
Megan’s smile faded. “What do you mean?”
“They didn’t break up because they stopped loving each other,” Lena explained. “There were… other reasons. Joseph Ford, Sean’s illegitimate half–brother, found out Lottie was Sean’s weakness. He kidnapped her more than once and she nearly died. Not long ago, she was shot by one of his men. She’s still recovering in the hospital.”
Megan’s eyes widened. “That actually happened?”
Lena sighed. “Thankfully, Joseph’s finally been brought to justice.
Megan frowned, clearly shaken. She fell into a quiet daze, deep in thought.
Lena looked at her seriously. “Megan, love isn’t something you can force.”
Megan gave a bitter smile. “I know. But…‘”
“}
She paused for a long moment before continuing. “I really can’t let go. That’s why I came back this time. I want to fight for him. They’ve already broken up, so if I go after Sean now, I’m not interfering in their relationship.”
Lena looked at Megan, as if she wanted to say something but held back.
Megan understood exactly what was on her mind.
She was trying to convince her to let go.
She had tried letting go once, seven years ago. But it never worked. She never stopped thinking about him.
After graduating from one of the world’s top universities, she had turned down her family’s offer to take over the business. Instead, she chose to start her own fashion brand.
In the past few years, her company had done remarkably well overseas and had recently gone public on NASDAQ.
Now, she was confident. She was accomplished. She was someone who could stand beside Sean as his equal.
The moment she returned to the country, she had asked around about Charlotte. When she found out that Charlotte was now just a low–profile attorney with no real faine, Megan finally felt a little relieved
At least in terms of career and ability, she had the upper hand.
Realizing that Megan couldn’t be persuaded, Lena didn’t say anything more.
Later that evening, after returning home, Lena looked visibly preoccupied.
Jordan glanced at her and asked, “Something on your mind?”
“Hey, did you know Megan Stone’s in love with Sean?”
“Megan?” Jordan raised an eyebrow. “Really? That’s news to me. Since when?”
There were too many women who had liked Sean over the years.
But Sean had never been the type to brag about who had confessed to him.
And Megan had chosen a private moment to tell him her feelings back then.
So it made perfect sense that Jordan had never heard about it.
