When the CEO Begs for My Forgiveness

“Miss Summers, are you sure you want to erase all your identity records? Once erased, it will be as if you never existed, and no one will be able to find you."

Adele paused for a moment before nodding resolutely. "Yes, that's exactly what I want. I want no one to find me."

There was a hint of surprise on the other end of the line, but they quickly responded, "Understood, Miss Summers. The process will take about two weeks to complete. Please wait patiently."

After hanging up the call, Adele put her phone down and booked a flight to Florin, scheduled to depart in two weeks.

At the same time, the television was replaying a press conference held by the Sterling Corporation.

A week ago, Elias Sterling, CEO of Sterling Corporation, unveiled a masterpiece of jewelry, crafted from the world’s most exquisite diamonds and gemstones. He named it “Adele” in his wife’s honor, a bold declaration of his unwavering love for her to the entire world.

“When it turned out Mr. Sterling was a compatible donor, he ignored everyone’s objections and went straight to the operating table that very day to save her. He said she was his life, and if she couldn’t live, he wouldn’t either. How could there be such a perfect man?"

The reporter interviewed countless people, and every single one of them expressed admiration for Elias and Adele’s love story.
