Chapter 562 Do Me a Favor
Several hours had passed, and Gary had been groveling in the same spot. His legs had long gone numb, and he didn't dare to move at all.
During this time, the vice president and a few secretaries came to report their work to Dylan. They didn't even glance at Gary, pretending not to see him.
However, Gary knew they had probably seen him and were guessing what mistakes he'd made for him to be punished in such a way, groveling in the chairman's office on a workday.
He felt ashamed, hating Regina to the core.
He knew very well that Regina seduced him not because she loved him but because she wanted to blackmail him into doing things for her.
Moreover, Regina's affectionate behavior toward Dylan was just a facade, and she probably didn't love Dylan either.
According to Regina, it was love at first sight for her back then, and no one else could compare to him after that. Even if Dylan had no feelings for her, she believed she would convince him one day and make Dylan hers.
In reality, she did not have any better options.
The Daniels' business was falling apart, and they were desperate for help. A marriage alliance was the best solution.
However, the candidates the Daniels' found were either too old, of questionable character, or from an ordinary background but happened to be useful to the Daniels Family in certain aspects. Regina was too proud to marry such a man.
Coincidentally, Dylan had just lost his wife, and his mother was already making arrangements for him to remarry even before his wife's burial.
Regina's mother and Dylan's mother were friends, and when Regina learned that Dylan's mother was looking for a new wife for him, she set her sights on Dylan and went to great lengths to please his mother.
Even when the Daniels were at their peak, they couldn't compare in terms of family background, wealth, and power to the Hahn Family, let alone now that they had fallen.
Moreover, Dylan was tall, handsome, charming, and well-known for his good looks.
Being rich, good-looking, and capable meant that plenty of single women from prestigious families were still interested in him, even though he was left with a son after his wife's death. Regina didn't stand a chance in terms of family background and appearance, but she was cunning.
She took advantage of her mother's friendship with Dylan's mother and worked hard to impress the latter.
She was good at pleasing people, sweet-talking them like honey, and this made Dylan's mother treat her like her own daughter.
Dylan's mother was extremely satisfied with Regina and ordered Dylan to marry her.
At that time, Dylan was already overwhelmed with finding his son.
He couldn't care less about anything else apart from work and looking for his child. He was angry at his mother for sending his son away, but he couldn't do anything about it. Hence, he buried all his hurt and anger deep down. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
As soon as his mother made a fuss about wanting him to marry Regina, he reached his breaking point.
You want me to marry her, don't you? Fine. As long as she agrees to marry me, I'll do it. Don't expect a happy life after marriage, though.
From the day he separated from his wife and child, Dylan was destined for a miserable life!
However, he was an inherently good person. Even though he was filled with grief and anger, Dylan remained kind. He despised his mother and the cunning Regina, but he still took the initiative to meet with her and explain the situation.
When Dylan met Regina, he stood outside the door.
Gary could still remember their conversation clearly.
Dylan made it clear to Regina that he didn't want to remarry, but his mother was adamant he did. Since he was in a hurry to search for his missing son, he didn't want to waste time going against his mother. If she wanted him to marry, he would do so.
However, he hoped that Regina wouldn't marry him.
He even told Regina that his heart had died the day his wife left him, and he didn't want to marry anyone else in this lifetime.
Even if he were forced to marry, he wouldn't look at that woman, let alone live a good life with her.
However, Regina said it didn't matter. She loved Dylan and was willing to wait for him to come around, using her sincerity to change him.
Dylan got angry and smashed a cup before leaving.
At that time, Gary hadn't seen through Regina's true nature yet. He thought that Regina genuinely liked Dylan and sympathized with her for loving the wrong person.
However, everything changed when he woke up in Regina's bed after being tricked by her.
He no longer thought that way.
The one who deserved pity was him, for he was an utter fool!
He originally had a family to rely on, a stable life, and a bright future. However, all of that was ruined by Regina!
He didn't dare tell Dylan that he had slept with his wife. He could only hope that this secret would remain a secret forever, and Dylan would never find out.
Dylon's mother wos extremely sotisfied with Regino ond ordered Dylon to morry her.
At thot time, Dylon wos olreody overwhelmed with finding his son.
He couldn't core less obout onything else oport from work ond looking for his child. He wos ongry ot his mother for sending his son owoy, but he couldn't do onything obout it. Hence, he buried oll his hurt ond onger deep down.
As soon os his mother mode o fuss obout wonting him to morry Regino, he reoched his breoking point.
You wont me to morry her, don't you? Fine. As long os she ogrees to morry me, I'll do it. Don't expect o hoppy life ofter morrioge, though.

When Dylon met Regino, he stood outside the door.
Gory could still remember their conversotion cleorly.
Dylon mode it cleor to Regino thot he didn't wont to remorry, but his mother wos odomont he did. Since he wos in o hurry to seorch for his missing son, he didn't wont to woste time going ogoinst his mother. If she wonted him to morry, he would do so.

At thot time, Gory hodn't seen through Regino's true noture yet. He thought thot Regino genuinely liked Dylon ond sympothized with her for loving the wrong person.
However, everything chonged when he woke up in Regino's bed ofter being tricked by her.
He no longer thought thot woy.

He didn't dore tell Dylon thot he hod slept with his wife. He could only hope thot this secret would remoin o secret forever, ond Dylon would never find out.
Despite having slept with Regina, he thought the matter could be buried as long as neither of them spilled the beans.
However, Regina gave birth to his child!
That child became evidence of their love affair, and it was a ticking bomb.
Now, that bomb had exploded.
He didn't know what his future held, but he knew that he hated Regina to the core.
Regina ruined everything for him.
Right now, he wished he could stab Regina to death!
While lost in his thoughts, Gary suddenly felt Dylan's gaze on him.
His body tensed up instantly.
Cold sweat trickled down his body, soaking his clothes. He felt dizzy and almost passed out, but he was still very sensitive to Dylan's gaze.
He was waiting for Dylan's judgment.
How would Dylan deal with him?
He didn't know.
All he knew was that no matter how Dylan punished him, they could never go back to the way things were before...
He hated Regina for that!
Dylan stared at him for a long time before uttering coldly, "Do me a favor, then I'll send you and Jean abroad."
Gary, who was still groveling with his head down, suddenly looked up at him.
Dylan's expression was emotionless as he continued, "You can be heartless toward me, but I can't be ungrateful toward you. Jean is your daughter. You've never been married, and things haven't been easy for you. As long as you do me a favor, I'll give you some money, and you can take Jean abroad. How you live the rest of your life is up to your own abilities."
"Young Master Hahn!" Gary said through choked sobs. "I won't leave! I'll help you with whatever you need. Once I'm done helping you, I'll take my own life as an apology! I don't think I can ever stand before you again, Young Master Hahn..."
He prostrated himself on the ground, crying in pain.
"There's no need for all that," Dylan said calmly. "I've thought things through earlier. All these years, you're the person I trust the most. I've never been on guard against you. If you wanted to plot against me, I would have been left with no place to bury myself."
"No… That would never happen…" Gary shook his head in agony, choking between sobs. "I would
rather die than…"
"I believe you," Dylan said slowly. "So, do me a favor, and I'll let you go abroad. We've been best friends for years, after all."
