Remorse After Breaking Up

Chapter 185 "What?"

Lillian was shocked. She had guessed that Chris had ulterior motives, but she hadn't expected him to raise such requests.

Just then, Chris suddenly took out a small box to reveal a diamond ring inside. He got down on one knee. "Marry me, Lillian. I'll make you the happiest woman on earth."

"Please don't do this, Mr. Adamos. Please get up."

Lillian wasn't sure what to do.

"If you don't say yes, I won't get up," Chris said firmly. He seemed determined.

"Lillian, why are you hesitating? Hurry and say yes!" Evelyn urged Lillian when she noticed the latter's hesitance.

"Mom, Dad, what are you saying? I'm married. How can I say yes to Mr. Adamos' proposal?" Lillian turned to Chris and said, "Mr. Adamos, please get up. I'm married, so I cannot agree to your proposal."

But Chris didn't get up.

"I know, Lillian. You've already signed a divorce agreement with Sebastian, that good-for- nothing brat. In a month, when the cool-off period is over, you can officiate the divorce."

Smiling, Evelyn said, "That's right. The one-month cool-off period is almost over. You should agree to Mr. Adamos' proposal first.

"When you're officially divorced, you can immediately marry him! Or you can just have the ceremony first and sign the papers later."

"No, I disagree," said Lillian, shaking her head.

Lillian was conservative; she wouldn't easily agree to a divorce. Even though Sebastian had his issues, she could endure them.

Evelyn became furious upon hearing that. "Why don't you listen? Are you going to live with that trash forever?"

Elijah stepped in and said, "Lillian, listen to us, just this time. Do it for the family, please. You know the company's current situation! If we don't get more projects, we're going to go bankrupt."

Ronan chimed in, "Lillian, think about it. Ever since you married Sebastian, has there been peace in our family? Even if you don't care about yourself, shouldn't you be considerate of our family?

"Are you going to watch the family business go bankrupt? It's everyone's effort."

Everyone knew Lillian's personality. They couldn't force her, so they tried to guilt-trip her. "I'll figure something out for the company," Lillian insisted.

"Lillian, it's been too long. The business isn't improving. Now that Mr. Adamos has come with a ten-billion-dollar contract, it's the perfect opportunity and the only chance for us. Please just say yes. I beg you."

As Ronan said that, he kneeled on the ground.

"Please, Lillian," Evelyn said, kneeling down as well.

"Mom, Dad, what are you doing? Get up!" Lillian hurriedly pulled her parents up, but they refused to get up.

"If you don't say yes, we won't get up," Evelyn insisted.

"Don't force me." Lillian was on the verge of tears; she wasn't sure what to do.

"Lillian, do you want me to kneel, too?" asked Elijah, gesturing to kneel.

"Okay, okay. I agree."

Lillian couldn't contain her sadness, and she broke down in tears. Meanwhile, Elijah, Ronan, and Evelyn exchanged looks. They smiled victoriously.

Chris excitedly put the ring on Lillian's finger.

"Don't worry, Lillian. I'll be good to you forever. By the way, this is the draft agreement for the ten-billion-dollar project.

"But it's a major project, so we can't be careless with contracts. Our company will organize a signing ceremony in two days. Let's sign the agreement under the witness of all the prestigious families in Ravenview City."

Elijah, Ronan, and Evelyn were excited, too. Chris may not be from a prestigious family, but his father, Ambrose Adamos, was the vice president at Phoenix Corporation.

Now that Chris had joined Phoenix Corporation as a department manager, he had a bright future ahead of him.

With such connections, Smith Group could maintain a long-term collaboration with Phoenix Corporation. It wouldn't take long for them to rise to success.
