“What do you mean?”
<
I couldn’t believe my ears.
“You heard right. He gave us your location.
He said you’re a whore, colluding with the
kidnappers to kill someone.”
“And we love whorish women.
I froze. In my last life, Ethan also accused me
of bribing the kidnappers, said I was jealous
of Tiffany, that I ordered them to rape and kill
her.
But this time, we hadn’t even met the
kidnappers, and he already accused me of
collusion.
It seems, he’s also been reborn.
No wonder my sister–in–law couldn’t get him
to come back. He thought this was a trap I’d
set.
But I didn’t expect him to be so ruthless, to
have people violate me, knowing I was eight months pregnant.
I was thrown to the ground, my clothes

ripped.
In a desperate act, I picked up a rock and
threw it at them.
While they were dodging, I jumped into the
car, slammed the accelerator and escaped
their pursuit.
“Marco, please save my mother–in–law!”
When I found Marco, he was lounging on the
sofa.
“Oh, if it isn’t the pure and innocent Mrs.
White. What brings you here today?”
I heard the sarcasm in his voice, but I ignored
it,
“Marco, my mother–in–law has been
kidnapped! Please, send some men with me
to save her. It’s urgent.”
But he gave me a playful look, examining my
disheveled appearance from head to toe,
“Mrs. White, usually you’re so cold and aloof,
you wouldn’t even look at someone like me.
<
Why are you suddenly so humble?”
“And what’s with this outfit, Mrs. White? Are
you trying to seduce me?”
I instinctively hugged myself, remembering
the time he tried to get handsy and I slapped
him. Apparently he still held a grudge. “Marco, I’m sorry. I was immature. Please
forgive me this once.”
Saving my mother–in–law was more
important than anything else, and I didn’t care
about anything else right now.
But Marco showed no signs of forgiving me.
He smirked,
“Is that all? I don’t see any sincerity.”
With no other choice, I slapped myself twice,
begging him respectfully,
“Marco, I was wrong to hit you. I’m slapping
myself now to apologize. Please, send some
men to save my mother–in–law. She’s an old
woman, she can’t handle it much longer.”
The man looked at me, eyes gleaming. He
pinched my chin, lifting my reddened face, “If you’d come sooner, maybe I would have
believed you. This pitiful look…it’s quite
endearing.”
“But you don’t know, do you? Ethan called
me just now, said you were in cahoots with
the kidnappers, trying to kill Tiffany. She’s my
favorite woman, how could I help you hurt
her?”
“And you, this dirty woman, have been
making trouble for Tiffany time and again.
Let’s see how I’ll deal with you.‘
“”
Apparently, Ethan knew I was coming to see
Marco, and had already contacted him.
Ignoring my eight–month–old baby, I knelt on
the ground and begged,
“No, it’s not true. I’ll explain later. My
mother–in–law is really kidnapped! She’s in ”
danger! Please, I beg you.
“”
L
Marco showed a hint of hesitation.
Just then, the phone rang. My sister–in–law’s
heart–wrenching voice echoed through the
phone,
“Sis, they broke Mom’s leg! They said if they
don’t see him in an hour, they’ll break her
arms, then kill her!”
“Sis, what do we do? Did Marco agree to
help?”
Marco spoke abruptly,
“I’m willing to help, but…
