Chapter 11 Tortured

Felix Meyer tapped his feet as he waited impatiently downstairs. He saw his wife coming out in a hurry.

He quickly opened the door. "How did it go?"

Eudora George threw the stack of documents into his hands. "Felix, I can't do it. Go and find someone else!"

Felix's face darkened. "Eudora, are you f*cking joking with me? You were up there for so long and now you're telling me that you can't do it? Didn't you already memorise what to discuss about? Can't you do one simple thing right?"

"Oh... Did you think it's as simple as just negotiating for a contract? Then why don't you go to do it yourself?" Eudora retorted.

Felix glared at Eudora. "So what? It's not the first time you slept with someone anyway. Are you tossing my interests aside after you had your own fun?"

"Felix!" Eudora shouted harshly. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Nonsense? How dare you! Let's see how long you're able to continue pretending to be noble when in actual fact you're such a shameless woman!" He began tearing Eudora's clothes apart on the street.

Eudora struggled with all her might. Her defiance and rebellion drove Felix out of his mind.

Pa!

Eudora gave Felix a hard slap. "Felix, you are an animal!"

The slap was so hard that blood started dripping from the corner of his mouth. Felix licked the blood away with his tongue and sneered.

"Are you giving up on your family?"

The George family...

She promised her late mother that she would protect Everpeace Group with all her life. But if her mother were still here, would she have wanted her daughter to betray herself for the sake of the George family? She had already made a mistake once by marrying into the Meyer family, must she make another mistake again?

Felix smirked in content when Eudora lowered her head and did not say anything. He knew that her family was her weakness. He knew that threatening her with the George family would keep her obediently by his side.

But little did he know, she started chuckling eerily. "It's up to you what you want to do! Let's get a divorce!"

"What?" Felix was flabbergasted. "Are you out of your mind?"

"Whatever! It doesn't matter if you think that I'm out of my mind or what! I'm done with the George family! I don't care anymore. Let's get a divorce!"

After that, she turned around and prepared to leave.

"Don't even think about it!" Felix screamed

Felix grabbed her once again. "Even if you don't care about your family anymore, I won't get a divorce with you. You will still be my wife even after you are dead."

"Let go of me!" Eudora slapped Felix's hand away forcefully. "I won't go back with you."

But Felix's strength proved to be too much for her. He pulled Eudora and shoved her into the car before driving away.

......

Upon reaching the Meyers' residence, Felix dragged Eudora out of the car and threw her into their bedroom. He then locked the room from outside.

Laura Westin looked at her son in disgust. "I told you this woman is nothing but bad luck. She was already kicked out earlier, but you still want to keep her."

"It's none of your business. Keep the room key and don't let her come out."

Laura smiled at her son's comment. "My child, you finally understood what I was trying to say all these while. If it were up to me, I would just let her rot to death inside!"

Felix sneered. "I'm going to make her suffer alright. But to let her die this way? That's too easy for her!"

Eudora banged the door from the other side, "Let me out Felix!. You can't lock me inside!  You're violating human rights and it's a crime to do so!"

Laura scoffed, "You are the daughter-in-law of the Meyer family, what rights are you talking about? Even if the king comes knocking on our door, we are not afraid!"

Laura used to live in the remote mountain villages and if it weren't for her successful son Felix, she would still be living in dirt. Despite her humble beginnings, she seemed to have forgotten where she came from and started treating others in condescension. Eudora cried her lungs out for help but no one came to her aid.
