- 13.
I visited Chloe in the hospital three days later.
Thanks to the quick response of security, her
injuries were limited to her face, and her life
wasn’t in danger.
But she couldn’t accept being disfigured,
lying in bed and wailing to her mom, refusing
to leave the hospital.
come here!”
She sneered, “Don’t get too cocky, when
Mark finds out, he won’t let you get away
with this.”
“Really?”
I put on an exaggerated expression of fear.
“I’m so scared. But do you know where your
dear Mark is right now?”
“He and his parents are kneeling at my
doorstep, begging me not to sue him. I
suggest you hurry, you might still snag a good
spot for kneeling.”
Chloe’s face contorted.
She shook her head, muttering, “Impossible,
how could you, he’s so rich, he can crush you
with a flick of his wrist…‘
I showed her my new diamond ring, smiling.
“Did Mark not tell you he was penniless when
he married into my family? Horizon is mine,
the money is mine, and as for this man, you
can have him.”
She slid off the bed, letting out the most
heart–wrenching scream since her
disfigurement.
Susan rushed to her side, glaring at me with
hatred.
“You bitch, if I’d known this would happen, I
should’ve starved you to death like your
whore of a mother!”
く
Before her slap could land, my bodyguard
intercepted it.
A gentle push sent the fifty–something–year-
old woman sprawling to the floor, clutching her back and groaning.
I stared down at her coldly.
“Your daughter is just as stupid as you. My husband married into my family, so did my dad. You two are used to being mistresses, and in the end, you’re both stuck being maids for penniless losers. What a fitting ending.”
