Before, I didn't want to take over because of Dylan. I didn't want to hurt his fragile ego by outshining him.
But now, it was time for me to step up and take responsibility.
When I nodded, my parents were overjoyed.
We sat down for a long-overdue family breakfast. Afterward, I told them about my breakup with Dylan.
My dad couldn't stop smiling. "Good, it's for the best. I'm finally at peace now."
My mom was even more excited. "You broke up? It was long overdue. I never liked him. How could he not appreciate my precious daughter?
"And don't even get me started on his parents! He's so petty, always trying to take advantage of people. What a joke.
"If it weren't for the fact that he helped you all those years ago, I wouldn't have tolerated them. Evelyn, you've repaid your debt to him, so let it go. It's time to move on."
I nodded deeply. "I know, Mom. I'll move forward. I don't owe him anything anymore."
I said I'd come back to take over for my dad, but managing the huge Adams Group isn't so simple.
Even though I didn't waste my time after graduation, working at Dylan's company, his business is nowhere near the same league as Adams Group.
