Seeing Thomas Fisher and Alice Turner holding hands at the hotel entrance that evening, Benjamin Shaw simply thought the two had reconciled, without considering how far they had actually progressed.

Not only had the proposal succeeded, but both families had already met and shared a meal together. Judging by the situation, it seemed good news between the two was imminent.

Benjamin Shaw was completely despondent; he and Alice Turner would never be together. In fact, he should have predicted this outcome five years ago, but he had never wanted to dwell on it.

But who could he blame for this? It was all because he didn’t cherish her in the past.

Five years ago, his parents and sister kept urging him to treasure her, yet he dismissed it as idle talk and resented their advice, even sneering at their persuasion.

They all said he would regret it, but he was indifferent at that time. He never imagined that this regretful day would come.

Five years ago, he was slapped in the face, and five years later, it was even more of a slap.

The root cause of this outcome was himself; he had orchestrated all this with his own hands.

Since he had brewed such a bitter fruit, he could only swallow it with tearful eyes, without blaming others.

He didn’t have the face to blame anyone, including his good friend and rival.

That night, Benjamin Shaw drank a lot of alcohol, hoping to drown his sorrows, but ended up feeling more troubled and pained, especially when he returned to the bridal room shared with Alice Turner.

Looking around at everything in the room, he shed tears of pain and heartbreak.

Buzz buzz buzz...

The phone in his pocket suddenly started vibrating.

Benjamin Shaw, dizzy from the alcohol, instinctively reached into his pocket upon hearing his phone ring.

After taking out the phone, he answered it without even glancing at it. Even if he looked now, his hazy eyes wouldn’t be able to see who it truly was.

Picking up the phone, Benjamin Shaw remained silent, habitually holding it to his ear.

The person on the other end didn’t hear any movement from his side and worriedly asked, "Benjamin! Have you gone back?"

The caller was Charlotte Shaw. After stubbornly leaving the bar alone, Thomas Fisher worried about any potential incidents, so after much consideration, he called Benjamin’s sister, Charlotte Shaw.

Thomas didn’t share much with Charlotte, only mentioning that Benjamin had drunk excessively and left the bar alone.

Although Thomas didn’t elaborate, Charlotte discerned something was wrong from his tone and words. After hanging up, she immediately dialed Benjamin’s number.

With Benjamin Shaw’s silence upon answering the call, Charlotte immediately confirmed her suspicion.

"Sis!"

Suddenly hearing his sister’s voice, Benjamin instinctively called out, unable to control his emotions due to his drunken state.

His teary voice reached Charlotte’s ears through the phone, instantly alerting her to her brother’s unusual state, "Are you crying? What exactly happened? Where are you now? Give me the specific address!"

As Charlotte spoke, she was already heading toward the wardrobe. She had to go find her brother now; he must be facing a severe issue, for it was the first time she had ever heard him cry.
