Mr. Holt’s Ashes of Regret — Episode 5

For three years, Eve Bennett has been the most unassuming assistant to Aiden Holt, a partner at a top-tier law firm. Everyone thought that the only reason she could stay by Aiden's side was that she was clinging to him. Faced with repeated public humiliation, rejection and neglect, Eve finally decided to end this imbalanced relationship. When Aiden thought she was just throwing a tantrum and waited for her to back down and apologize, Eve handed over the termination agreement and resignation letter, calmly announcing: "The engagement is off, and I resign from my post." Not only that, but she also took away the key clients she had personally maintained, joined a rival law firm, and became a core lawyer attracting widespread industry attention on the strength of her genuine capabilities. The man who once thought "she's nothing without me" finally realized that —— the woman he had ignored for three years was the truly irreplaceable person at the law firm. By the time Aiden started panicking and scrambling after her footsteps, Eve was no longer the girl who had been waiting for validation. This time, it was him who wanted her to come back.
