Chapter 1298
Zephyr attended the trial. But when he didn’t see Riley in court, he was disappointed.
He had thought that he could see her one more time.
It seemed that seeing Riley had become a difficult thing to do for Zephyr.
When the lawyer told Riley the final result, she was in Bruce’s office.
“How did the lawsuit end?” Bruce asked.
“Not bad. Better than expected,” Riley answered.
“Congratulations. If you want to go back to Summer Group now, you should be able to control the whole group with your ability,” Bruce said.
After all, if it hadn’t been for the car accident, maybe Riley would have already controlled the entire Summer Group.
“No, I’m going to sell all the equities. After all these things, I don’t want to live such a life,” Riley said.
Bruce looked at Riley in surprise. After all, what she said meant that she would give up some of her interests.
The wealth she was giving up would probably make ordinary people scramble for it.
“Then what are you going to do…” Bruce asked.
“I want to go to Strico. There is an archaeological research institute over there. I want to study there for a while and then engage in related work in the future,” Riley said.
Bruce’s eyes widened slightly. Archaeology was exactly what Nicholas liked. Riley planned to engage in archaeology in the future. Was it because of Nicholas?
“Won’t you feel lonely?” Bruce asked. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Riley smiled slightly and said, “I will not be lonely.” Riley knew that Nicholas would always be with her.
Even though Riley didn’t want to see Zephyr again, she still had to meet with him when she took back her shares and sold them at the same time.

The Scott family directly bought her shares and offered a fairly good price.
Riley didn’t refuse them. It would be good for the Scott family to take those shares, and it was convenient for Riley to sell her shares to the Scott family.
After signing the contract, the two sides completed the deal. The Scott family directly transferred all the money to Riley.
Seeing the transfer message, Riley knew that it was a huge amount of money that she could never use up during her lifetime.
The media all said that Riley was the final winner.
However, there was no winner at all. If the money could be exchanged for Nicholas’s life, Riley would not hesitate to choose Nicholas.
“Ms. Summer, your flight will take off in two hours. Do you want me to drive you to the airport?” a lawyer who helped Riley with her affairs asked.
“Okay, thank you,” Riley said with a smile.
“What?” Zephyr was surprised when he heard this. He finally could see Riley on such an occasion today.
But now Riley was going to the airport.
What did she mean?
“You… Are you going to the airport? Why are you going to the airport?” Zephyr suddenly went forward and stopped Riley.
“Mr. Scott, it has nothing to do with you,” Riley said indifferently.
“Why are you going to the airport?” Zephyr asked again.
“It has nothing to do with you,” Riley repeated, intending to bypass Zephyr and leave.
“Why?” Zephyr’s left hand grabbed Riley’s arm and he asked again.
Riley slightly pursed her red lips and felt that the people around were looking at them. “Because I’m going to Strico for further study, okay? I have given you the answer you want. Can you let go of me?” Riley said.
“Are you going to Strico?” Zephyr was stunned. “What about Hendrick?
09:07
Are you going to leave him alone?”
“I’ve never left him. If he wants to go with me, I can take him away at any time, but does he want to? Will the Scott family be willing to let me take him away?” Riley said.
Zephyr didn’t know how to reply. Hendrick didn’t know that Riley was his mother. Even if one day Hendrick wanted to live with Riley, Mariah and Jeffery would never agree.
“If you don’t want me to take him away, why did you have to ask?” After saying that, Riley pulled out her arm from Zephyr’s hand and left with the lawyer to the airport.
After a long time, Zephyr came back to his senses and ordered the driver, “Drive the car over and go to the airport.”
At the airport, it was not difficult to find out which flight Riley was taking.
While Riley was waiting for her flight in the VIP room, Zephyr looked at her from a distance outside.
He always knew that she was decisive.
When she loved someone, she would give that person her everything. When she didn’t love anymore, she would turn around and leave witho hesitation.
But Zephyr didn’t expect that Riley would leave Lommore so quickly. She wouldn’t stay even for her son.
In that case, what else could make Riley stay?
After a long time, Zephyr saw Riley walk out of the VIP room and go to the boarding gate. He just stood behind her and watched her enter the boarding gate.
Zephyr knew that he couldn’t make her stay at all!
Even if he knelt down and hurt himself, he couldn’t keep her!
Would Zephyr and Riley really end up like this? Should he accept the ending?
Perhaps the best way for Zephyr to get his relief was not to love Riley anymore. In that case, he wouldn’t feel pain.
But he still felt heartbroken. The feeling seemed to remind him of how

much he loved Riley!
“Riley… What should I do? What should I do to get close to you?” Zephyr muttered.
But no one could give him an answer.
Zephyr could only watch the plane fly over in a daze. The distance between him and Riley was getting farther and farther.
Maybe he couldn’t get close to her anymore in his life.
At this moment, on the plane, Riley was looking at the photo on her phone. It was the photo of Hendrick which was taken secretly by Riley.
She had asked the doctor who said that Hendrick was recovering. Hearing the doctor’s words, Riley felt relieved.
It was much better for Hendrick to live with the Scott family than to live with her.
Moreover, Hendrick didn’t love Riley at all. If she forced him to accept her love now, it would be in vain. So she’d better let it go.
As a mother, Riley only hoped that her child could be healthy, safe and happy.
And other things were not that important to Riley at all.
After Riley came to Strico, she immediately went to the concession stand for Amelia.
At the door of the concession stand, Amelia was holding her youngest daughter in the sun. When she saw Riley, she was quite surprised. Although Riley had said that she would come to Strico when they talked on the phone before, Amelia didn’t expect her to come so fast.
“Are you really going to stay in Strico?” Amelia asked.
