I Hope You Will Never Regret

Chapter 163 The Rumour



At 4 am, Avery received a call from Dr Lambert. He indicated that one of the businessmen in the city was involved in a car accident. His car was found on the cliff. He asked her to come to the hospital urgently.

Avery quickly took a shower and wore her blue jeans and white t-shirt and left. Outside her apartment, she found one of the doctors waiting for her. Even though it was a five-minute walk to the hospital, it wasn’t safe for a girl to walk alone.

Elsewhere, around 8 am, Siyabonga submitted the tender proposal, then he went to work. He was praying in his heart for the Martins Group to be awarded the Spaghetti Junction tender.

At 10 am, Jordan dialed Avery’s phone, but it went straight to voicemail. He was overwhelmed with anger. He asked his Executive Secretary, Henry Gibbs, to look for Avery at the hospital.

When Henry arrived at the hospital, he was told that Dr Martins had been in the theatre since 4 am. Jordan told him to wait in the hospital. Avery went out of the operating room around 11 am.

Henry approached her and asked her about the tender application. Avery smiled and replied, “Mr Gibbs, please tell Mr Bennet that he doesn’t have the workforce to tackle two projects at the same time. If you can excuse me, I am so tired.”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Henry stood frozen in the same spot for a long time. He took his phone and called President Bennet. When it was connected, he said, “President, Miss Avery indicated that you don’t have enough workforce to tackle two projects. Hence, she didn’t prepare the tender proposal for you.”

President Bennet was overwhelmed with bitterness about missing the opportunity to bid for the Spaghetti Junction Tender and replied, “Come back to the office.” Then they hung up.

At the Martins Group, CEO Martins was in his office reading the document when his phone started ringing. He took his phone and his eyes lit up when he saw the caller ID and said, “Hello Terrence, how are you doing?”

Terrence smiled and replied, “Hello August, is the CEO of the Bennet Group still your son-in-law?” Mr Martins was puzzled and asked smiling, “Terence, please don’t snatch my son-in-law.”

Terence Cook was his close friend, and he was the CEO of the Cook Group. August told him everything about the relationship between his daughter and Jordan Bennet.

Terence replied with sadness in his voice, “August, I just received an engagement banquet invitation from the Spencer Group CEO between Jordan Bennet and his daughter Tiffany Spencer. Their engagement banquet is this coming weekend. Please investigate.”

Mr Martins was so shocked he couldn’t believe his ears. He thanked his friend, then he called Siyabonga Cele and said, “Siyabonga, please investigate the matter between Jordan Bennet and Tiffany Spencer urgently.”

Siyabonga Cele was very capable. In a few minutes, the report was on his boss’ desk. He even included their romantic photos. He found that Jordan had been dating Tiffany for three months and their engagement banquet would be on Saturday.

Mr Martins was overwhelmed with bitterness. What about his daughter? She would be devastated when she heard the news. She loved her boyfriend deeply. Mr Martins had a lot of work, but he was absent-minded.

The following day, it was her daughter’s birthday. Mr Martins packed up his briefcase, and then he left the office. Siyabonga was so devastated by the news. He took his car keys and went to the hospital to see his baby sister.

Avery looked at her brother and asked, “What is wrong, big brother?” Siyabonga looked at her and replied, “There is a rumour going around, I don’t know if I must tell you.”

Avery smiled and said, “Please don’t tell me, big brother.” Siyabonga nodded his head, then he took Avery’s handbag, and they went home.

At the Everlasting Group, Gabriella’s colleagues were excitedly looking at the invitation card. Gabriella approached them and asked, “Who is getting married?” Her colleague smiled and replied, “I am invited to the Engagement Banquet this coming weekend between Tiffany…”

At that moment, Gabriella’s office phone started ringing. The Editor-in-Chief was looking for her. When she came back, her colleague had already left.

At the Martins residence, Elizabeth was surprised to see her husband so early. August greeted everyone, then he went to his study room to change his clothes.

After he changed his clothes, he headed down to the living room to watch the news.

An hour later, Butler Bruce informed them that the dinner was served, and then they walked to the dining room to eat. The atmosphere was harmonious. While they were eating, Mrs Martins looked at Lily and winked at her.

Lily smiled and said, “Aunt Elizabeth, my best friend Tiffany Spencer invited me to her engagement banquet with handsome Jordan Bennet this coming Saturday. They are a match made in heaven.”

Mr Martins looked at his wife coldly, then he continued eating his food. Aiden laughed out loud and said, “Wow, your precious daughter finally made a mistake. This is the best day of my life.

Dad, you took our money and gave it to Jordan to start his company, but you didn’t trust me enough to set up a company for me. Look at him now, he is marrying someone else.”

His father was overwhelmed with bitterness and said, “Aiden, I am so disappointed in you. You take pleasure from your sister’s pain. Didn’t you turn me down when I wanted to set up a company for you?

Please submit your proposal to my desk tomorrow morning. If you don’t know how to write it, please ask your sister to help you.”

Then he left the dining table and went to his study room. He was very upset to see his family rejoice when his daughter was in pain. After he left, he heard laughter coming from the dining room.

He took his phone and dialed Pastor Basil and said, “Dad, please pray for Avery, Jordan is having an engagement banquet this coming Saturday with the Spencer daughter. My heart is overwhelmed with bitterness. I want to kill Jordan.”

Pastor Basil was shocked to hear that Jordan had betrayed his precious granddaughter and replied, “Let’s place everything in the Lord’s hands. He will not forsake us.” Then they hung up.
