Chapter 17
Alianna’s strength in slapping his arm gradually weakened, and the intensity of his struggle also diminished. He couldn’t make a sound and his eyes rolled back.
Seeing her about to pass out and lose consciousness, Howell finally let go
of her hand.
The raging anger in his eyes, however, showed no sign of extinguishing.
*cough cough* Alianna coughed desperately, almost coughing her lungs.
out.
His face was filled with the gratitude of having survived the disaster.
After a long time, she gradually regained consciousness, and instantly her tears flowed even more vigorously.
“Howell, you misunderstood me, I never thought about bullying you, I really didn’t.‘
“I loved you, but I also had no way out. I didn’t fight for the Pearson family’s legacy, and now I have nothing. I will end up on the streets. Don’t you want to see this scene?”
“Huh.” Howell laughed in despair, a laugh was uglier than crying. “I never expected that, at this point, you would still be pretending and deceiving me!”
You kept saying that you loved me, but when we were trying to have a child together, you were also sleeping with other men. What’s the matter? Am I not enough for you? Or is it just your nature to be so willingly degraded?
“You said you couldn’t do it, that you wanted the Pearson family’s estate, and I could have helped you fight for it, but why are you so greedy? You even want everything from the Swanson family and you want to poison me with an heir–killing drug!”
“Whenever you agreed to marry me, whether it was the Pearson family or the Swanson family, all of these were yours! What do you want that your don’t have? Why do you insist on tormenting my feelings for you like.
this?”
Howell shed tears with every word and sentence, questioning fiercely.
Alianna’s face turned pale, with a look of distress. Her lips trembled for a long time, but she couldn’t utter a word.
The entire compartment was silent.
After a long time. Alianna finally answered hesitantly, “They are different, these two are different.”
She didn’t want to say what exactly was different.
Howell was filled with disappointment, his voice as cold as ice: “Since you can’t say it. let me say it for you. You think that marrying me, the Pearson family and the Swanson family cannot fully belong to you. You want to have both power and wealth firmly under your control!”
“Alianna, you were so greedy, but did you really take a good look at yourself? Do you really have the ability to control everything? Besides being able to deceive me and these shady men, what else can you do? You are no match for Faye at all!”
Seeing her own thoughts being spoken by him, Alianna no longer pretended to be pitiful and angrily retorted:
“How can Faye compare to me? We were on the same starting line, she couldn’t match me. She has been trying so hard for years but couldn’t win
your heart, while I effortlessly have you firmly under my control. Isn’t that enough?”
“Wasn’t it a skill of mine to be able to deceive and manipulate more men to listen to me?”
She laughed carelessly, with malice in her eyes, and carefully touched her stomach.
“Howell, I knew you loved me, we had our children, so please stop causing trouble.”
“Didn’t you just want me to break up with those men? I broke up with them. that’s it. In the future, I will marry you, and we will live a happy life as a family of three. Let’s forget everything that happened before today and start over, okay?”
She waited confidently for Howell’s affirmative answer.
However, this time, he was indifferent from beginning to end.
“Alianna. I truly regretted loving you and losing Faye.”
“Once upon a time. you were able to deceive me all along, but it was only because I loved you. Otherwise, with your poor tactics, you would never have been able to deceive me. However, starting from today, I don’t love you anymore, I give up on you, Alianna.”
Howell’s voice was calm as water, without any ripples, as if he was talking about something unrelated to himself.
However, his heart was far from being as calm as it appeared on the
surface.
A rotten person, whom I had loved for over ten years, is now completely giving up. It feels like forcibly digging out a piece of rotten, stinking flesh from my heart.
He was in so much pain that he almost lost consciousness.
But he couldn’t. He still had things to take care of
