Chapter 20
After going through numerous hardships, Juliana finally managed to escape from that place.
In that private hospital, she was plunged into endless torment at Vincent’s direction.
Endless bloodletting and transfusions were administered, with even sleep time being irregular.
Those people even specially customized a blood drawing machine for her, which would automatically start the blood drawing process once it detected that her blood volume reached a certain value.
She was forbidden to eat and could only rely on intravenous fluids to sustain her life.
This inhuman torture made her feel like she was being driven crazy, and she thought Vincent was simply insane. How could he torture himself so cruelly just for Alice?
Finally, in the gap between the nurses changing shifts, she mustered all her strength to pull out the tubes on her body and escaped from this “prison” that seemed to be tailor–made for her like a runaway horse.
However, her panic caused her to completely overlook the fact that not far from the hospital, there was a black Maybach parked. The owner of the car watched closely as the woman fled in panic, and then made a phone call.
At that time, Matheo was in the bar.
Last time, he was deceived by Juliana, thinking that she had a change of heart. He happily rushed over, only to find out that Juliana had actually

called five strong men to beat him up for three days and three nights.

When he finally came out, there was hardly a piece of intact skin on his body.
“Matheo, do you still want to be with me?”
Matheo’s head was stomped on the ground by those people, and he watched helplessly as Juliana coldly walked closer, her high heels mercilessly crushing his palm.
“You deserved it too.”
These three light and fluttering words, like a sharp blade, completely
killed his true heart.
“Be careful with your hands and feet, don’t accidentally kill someone.”
After that, he arrived in Los Angeles and landed a job as a bartender at a
bar.
But he was surprised to receive a call from Vincent at this time. “What’s the matter?” Matheo asked in a bad tone, because he no longer wanted anything to do with these lunatics.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, so long that he thought the other person had dialed the wrong number. Just as he was about to hang up, Vincent’s hoarse voice came through.
“Want to get revenge?”
Juliana staggered around the street corner, about to ask for help from a passerby, when she saw a stranger enthusiastically beckoning her to get into his car.
Days of torture had made her slow to react, and before she could even think, she was forcibly dragged into the car.

When she woke up again, she found herself lying on a hotel bed, with her mouth taped shut.
What shocked her even more was that Matheo, who had lost one eye, was pressing down on her.
“What? Don’t you recognize your old lover?”
Matheo gasped for breath, glaring at her fiercely with his remaining eye. “Do you find my eye, thanks to you, attractive?”
Juliana widened her eyes in terror.
Those people back then mocked him for daring to foolishly dream of catching the eye of the Seibert family, and ended up poking out one of his
eyes.
And now, the instigator dares to look at him with such eyes?
Just as Matheo was about to continue his violence, Juliana suddenly erupted with a survival instinct.
She grabbed the ashtray on the bedside table and smashed it with all her strength towards his head.
“Bang!”
Matheo fell to the ground in pain.
Juliana trembled as she tore open the tape, about to rush out the door, but was held back by the furious Matheo from behind.
She struggled desperately, scratching the other person’s arm with her nails, leaving behind bloody marks.
“No…you are not allowed to leave!”
Matheo gripped her wrist tightly, his voice hoarse and terrifying, “Didn’t

He nervously repeated their past vows, with a crazy gleam in his one eye.
“Do you know how I have been these years? Vincent had someone blind one of my eyes. And you? You wouldn’t even look at me.”
Juliana trembled all over as Matheo’s words pierced her heart like a knife.
What do you mean… was Vincent the one who brought him here?
“Do you think Vincent still loves you?”
Matheo suddenly grinned, “It was him who brought you to me himself!”
This realization hit Juliana like a ton of bricks.
She knew Vincent too well now.
The man who used to watch her being tortured with indifference was indeed capable of such a thing.
Sensing her trembling, Matheo suddenly softened and gently tore the tape off her mouth!
“Juliana, how could I have really hurt you?”
His fingers brushed over her pale cheeks, his voice so gentle it sent shivers down her spine.
“You never loved Vincent, did you? All you wanted was Mrs. Seibert’s title…”
Juliana turned her face away in disgust, but he forcefully turned it back.
Matheo ignored the hatred in her eyes and continued to charm her:
“I had a plan.”

He leaned close to her ear, his breath spraying on her neck, “We can do it together, make Vincent pay the price…”
