Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 26

There was a moment when Ines felt her heart skip a beat. Her hand froze as she held the coffee cup, and looked at Phoebe in confusion. "Ethan?"

Seeing her reaction, Phoebe knew that Ines' memory hadn't improved even after so many years. She still couldn’t recall that man she liked from college, the one she couldn't have. Since they were both married now, Phoebe thought there was no need to hide anything, so she explained, "Ethan, the man in charge of the Meyer Group, one of the top ten outstanding entrepreneurs in the world, the guy every woman in A City is dying to be with, and the man you had a crush on in college."

Ines was shocked. "I had a crush on someone?" And his name just happened to be Ethan, the same as her new husband.

"Of course! He was our schoolmate. When we were freshmen, he was already an outstanding entrepreneur and gave a speech at our alma mater. You fell for him instantly; it was love at first sight. Oh my, you were so crazy back then! You even secretly interned at the Meyer Group during summer break without telling your family, just to get closer to him. Unfortunately, you followed his shadow the whole summer and never even saw his face. I teased you for a long time about that. Anyway, you did a lot of crazy things for him back then. I could probably talk about it all day and night." Phoebe thought it was all in the past and didn't need to go into detail.

"But didn't I have a fiancé?"

A mocking smile appeared on Phoebe's lips. "You said it yourself, just a fiancé. That scumbag wasn't worth your love."

Phoebe's words were too much for Ines to take in. She had always thought her previous emotional entanglements were all about that fiancé who betrayed her, but she never expected this twist.
