The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret novel Chapter 458

Taylor stopped, his sharp gaze narrowing in irritation. That kid was impressive!

The trick the boy had used was reminiscent of tactics Taylor and Nathaniel had encountered during their street days. As he watched the boy’s retreat, Taylor felt a momentary jolt of disorientation, as if he were back in the days of hustling alongside Nathaniel.

He couldn’t afford to linger on these memories, as they brought up too much pain. It was almost unbearable to think about.

It was inconceivable that Nathaniel, the person Taylor had once respected and relied on the most, had ended up killing his own sister. The fact that Abigail was at fault in the situation only made it harder for Taylor to find someone to blame.

Unable to hold anyone else responsible, Taylor turned his anger inward. He had been carrying around his sister’s ashes as a form of self-punishment, resulting in the Hill family only erecting an empty monument at her grave.

Taylor found it odd that the Hill family, particularly Michael, seemed rather indifferent to Abigail’s death. Even though Taylor had stolen Abigail’s ashes, Michael appeared more concerned with Abigail’s belongings and the safes she had opened rather than her actual remains.

Taylor speculated that Michael might not have been biologically related to Abigail, which could explain his apparent detachment from her death while showing more interest in her possessions.

Taylor had no intention of contesting Abigail’s inheritance with Michael. After all, Michael had raised her for over twenty years, and Taylor had never publicly acknowledged his relationship with her.

Acknowledging that some opportunities were lost forever, Taylor resigned himself to the reality of his situation.

Yet the encounter with the young thief reignited a sense of determination within him. He maneuvered through the crowd and darted into a nearby alley.
