Sarah was exasperated, but she still put on a smile on her face. “It’s okay. Money can still be earned even if we run out of it. I believe in your abilities, but I think you should hand over the 100 million dollars to me. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to sustain our daily lives afterward if you throw in your remaining money to the company’s cash flow. Rodney, to be honest, I want to get a doctor overseas to treat my illness. I still wish to have a child with you.”Her eyes reddened. “I want to be a mother.”Rodney frowned in silence and hesitated for a moment. He thought that if it were not for Freya, Sarah would not have lost the chance to be a mother. In the end, he gave her another card. “Go and treat your illness.”“Rodney, I can definitely be cured, right? We’ll surely have a child, right?” Sarah suddenly flung herself into his embrace.As her legs were injured, Rodney had no choice but to hug her.Sarah cried for a while. Then, she kissed his chin. “Rodney, it’s our wedding
After taking a seat, Rodney heard two minor celebrities discussing something behind a partition.“The man in the blue suit earlier is so good-looking. He’s even more handsome than the male celebrities in the entertainment industry. From what I see, his clothes are quite expensive. I wonder which wealthy businessman is he?”“Oh, him. You joined the industry late, so you might not know about this. He’s Rodney Snow.”“His last name is Snow. Is he that person from the Snow family…”“Shhh. Keep your voice down. Yes, that’s him. But don’t even think of playing up to him. He has been abandoned by the Snow family and even stripped of his inheritance rights.”“Even if he has been stripped of his inheritance rights, he’s still a member of the Snow family. Even crumbs that fall from the hands of those people would be enough to feed us for the rest of our lives. Besides, if we get him to be our financial backer, we can take advantage of his connection and resources.”“Ha! You are too naive.
Eliza was satisfied with Rodney’s expression. There was nothing better than killing a person by torturing their heart.Did Rodney not claim that Freya was evil? Now, she would let him know that his ex-wife had not done anything bad all along.“Freya was just taking the blame for me.”Eliza swirled the glass of red wine in her hand. She was smiling, but her pretty eyes were void of warmth. “Freya only knew that I kidnapped Sarah when it was almost morning. By the time she rushed over, I had severely injured Sarah. Freya knew that if I were caught, you would definitely kill me. However, she was different. She was your wife, the prime minister’s goddaughter, and the mother of your child. Even if she got caught, you wouldn’t kill her even though you were furious.”Rodney’s expression was as cold as ice. He stared straight into Eliza’s eyes. “Did Freya tell you to come and lie to me on purpose? She has found such a ridiculous excuse just because she wants to reconcile with me. Ha! Doe
Rodney had no choice but to marry Sarah. He had no choice but to live such a suffocating life.He did not even want to go back to his so-called home.All of that was caused by Eliza.Rodney’s eyes reddened from anger.He increased the force he exerted in his hands.Eliza’s small face was red from being strangled. The wine glass in her hand fell to the ground and made a shattering sound, which alarmed the people nearby.“Ah! Young Master Snow is killing someone.”Someone exclaimed, and the banquet was thrown into a mess.Luckily, a man nearby came over and separated Eliza and Rodney. Eliza doubled over while grasping her throat in pain. She felt as if she was on the border of life and death. She almost suffocated.“Let me go. I’ll kill her,” Rodney shouted angrily.Seeing his ferocious expression, the security guard put in more strength and held him down tightly.“Miss Robbins, are you okay?” A few gentlemen from the banquet surrounded Eliza and helped her up.“I’m… fine.” E
“Don’t worry, Miss Robbins. Rodney doesn’t have any real power now. The projects he has aren’t going well either. On the other hand, you’re the top celebrity of Felix Media, who has the backing of Jewell Corporation. Who would dare to give you a hard time?”Eliza touched her neck, which was red from being strangled. She sneered in her heart. ‘Rodney, go ahead and be angry. The angrier you are, the more frustrated and regretful you’ll feel.’However, the game had only just begun.…After leaving the banquet, Eliza’s phone rang.It was Chester who called. After picking it up, his cold voice sounded. “Eliza, you’re pretty amazing, huh? To think you made such a huge commotion from attending a banquet.”“...”“Why? Are you a mute now?” Chester got even furious when he did get a reply.“No…” Eliza spoke with her dry and painful throat, “Young Master Snow strangled me. My throat feels uncomfortable.”“You’re so bold. Why didn’t he strangle you to death?” Chester’s mockery sounded a
“Yes, he wouldn’t dare.” Chester realized that he liked Eliza’s confident expression. It made him want to throw her on the bed and conquer her immediately. He pinched her chin. Just as he was about to kiss her, he halted all of a sudden. “It’s always the same cold face. Smile. I don’t want to have fun with a robot.”Eliza said calmly, “I'm threatened to do this. You should be grateful that I’m not vomiting.”“Vomit?” Chester chuckled. However, his eyes were ice-cold. “Do I disgust you that much?”“You know full well how many women you’ve slept with. To be honest, I’m quite afraid of catching a disease.” Eliza did not mince her words at all.“Oh, what gives you the right to criticize me?” Chester tightened his pinch on her chin. “Didn’t you used to be someone else’s lover? Besides, it’s not your first time having sex with me either. Why are you acting like you’re so innocent? It’s disgusting.”“Don’t touch me if you feel disgusted.”When Eliza met Chester’s gaze, his cold and ha
Chester’s expression remained indifferent as he exhaled a puff of smoke.He was like an audience sitting below the stage, watching the show.The look on Chester’s face made Rodney grab the collar of Chester’s robe in a fit of anger. “Say another f*cking word. Do you think I don’t have the guts to hit you? Chester, I really want to kill you now. Why do I have a best friend like you? You’re a f*cking backstabber and a selfish person.”“Are you done talking?”Chester finally spoke. His voice and expression were calm. “Rodney, think about it. For whose sake did you come here to bother me?”“Don’t you know who I’m doing this for?” Rodney’s eyes were bloodshot from anger. “Because of you, my life is ruined and in a mess.”“Because of me?”Chester laughed sarcastically. “Rodney, you always do this. You push all the blame on Shaun, Freya, and me. Haven’t you thought about why your old friends are getting further away from you? How many people attended the high profile, lavish wedding yo
“Enough. Stop passing the blame.” Rodney gritted his teeth. “When I went to rescue Sarah, Freya was the only person there, and Sarah was critically injured. Freya was caught red-handed with evidence. How could I have believed her?”“What about after the incident?” Chester raised his eyebrows. “Did you calm down and think it through? Did you at least try to believe your wife a little? If only you put in some effort investigating it, you would’ve known that Freya left The Lodge in the morning. How could she have had the time to hurt Sarah? Or, if you had put in more effort, you would’ve found out that the kidnapper had no connection to Freya at all. However, you didn’t trust her and insisted it was her. Why should Freya explain things to you? She must’ve been so disappointed.”“Shut up. Shut up.”As if his tail had been stepped on, Rodney’s face paled. “Freya was not willing to explain things to me. I would’ve wavered if she had spoken even one sentence. She was the one who wanted to
