Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 888:

What a truly pathetic man he had become.

As Rachel stepped out of the office, her phone rang. It was Lizzie.

“Rachel, I’m almost there!”

“Alright, I’m coming down now.”

Just as she reached the entrance, a sleek sports car pulled up with a loud roar. The car’s bold red color, along with the stylish woman behind the wheel wearing sunglasses, made it even more eye-catching.

Lizzie, sitting confidently in the driver’s seat, smoothly brought the car to a stop when she spotted Rachel.

“Rachel, get in!”

“Since when did you learn to drive?” Rachel asked, completely surprised.

She hadn’t seen Lizzie in a while because of work.

She was surprised to find that not only had Lizzie learned to drive, but she did it with impressive style.

“Where’s your favorite spot in the city? I’ll drive you there,” said Lizzie.

“Sounds good.”

As they drove, Lizzie finally answered Rachel’s earlier question.

“Ever since Allan left us, I’ve realized one thing: I have to rely on myself.

Running the company taught me something else, too: our potential is limitless. As long as we tap into even a part of it, there’s nothing to be afraid of. That’s why now, I’m learning everything… management, stocks, driving, sports… anything that’s useful or interests me.

Rachel, you know what? Sometimes, I dream about the time right after Allan left—when we were completely alone, helpless in the company. It was terrifying. We were small, powerless, easy targets for anyone who wanted to take advantage of us. Those months haunted me, keeping me up at night. That’s why now, I have to be strong. I have to take control of my future. Honestly, I’m really grateful to Mr. White. Without him, without his help, I might still be that weak, helpless woman, the one people pushed around. He helped me change. I really owe him for that.”

As Lizzie spoke about Brian, her eyes lit up.

Rachel looked off into the distance, the wind brushing through her hair.

The wind carried Lizzie’s voice as she continued, “Sometimes, when I look at him, I feel like I’m looking at my brother. He just feels so familiar. I don’t even know why, but he always reminds me of Allan.”

After all, they were both remarkable people. With exceptional individuals, certain qualities tend to overlap. So, it wasn’t surprising that Lizzie felt that way.

After a relaxed drive, night settled in, and the streetlights slowly turned on, lighting up the whole city.

Lizzie took Rachel to a newly opened revolving restaurant with a starry sky theme.

People said the restaurant had a fantastic atmosphere, and every dish was mouthwatering. In just a month, it had become the city’s new hot spot. More importantly, the interior design was exactly the kind of thing Lizzie knew Rachel would adore just by looking at the photos.
