Chapter 6

作者: James Xander
Sabrina immediately played along, her eyes reddening as she hid behind him and choked out through sobs, "Bradley, don't say that. Ms. Blackburn just had a moment of weakness."

Even as she spoke, she was secretly glancing up to gauge the guests' reactions, the smugness unmistakable in her eyes.

Several of Bradley's friends immediately stepped forward to echo him.

"That's right! We all knew about this!"

  • A Friend's Joke Reveals Hubby's Secret Life   Chapter 9

    "Emily!" His eyes burned with terrifying intensity, his breath coming in ragged gasps. "Don't make me—"Just then, my fingers finally found the panic button on the headboard. I pressed it without a moment's hesitation.The piercing alarm blared to life, and every light in the villa instantly blazed on.Bradley whipped his head around to look out the window. The bodyguards were already turning to storm into the villa.He turned to face me again, his eyes filled with a tangled mix of hatred, resentment, and a fleeting flash of despair that vanished as quickly as it appeared."Emily, must you be so heartless?" His voice suddenly dropped low, as if all the strength had drained out of him. "Ten years, Emily. Ten years, and you threw it all away and sent me to prison like it meant nothing?""You're the one who threw it all away first," I said, looking at him, my voice completely devoid of emotion. "We were finished the moment you betrayed me and called me a housekeeper.""Fine. Have

    The constant tension over the past days had worn me out, and I soon fell into a deep sleep.I didn't know how long had passed when I was jolted awake by an extremely faint creak. My heart instantly leaped into my throat, and I snapped my eyes open.The sole light in the room came from a tiny nightlight by the bed. In its faint amber glow, I could make out a tall dark silhouette half-crouched on the windowsill.Rainwater dripped from the soaked hem of his clothes onto the carpet, blooming into a small patch of dark stain.Bradley had lost a lot of weight. The black windbreaker that once fit him perfectly now hung loosely on his frame, and his entire body reeked heavily of blood.But those eyes of his were disturbingly bright, his gaze fixed on me with deadly intensity, like a wild beast locking onto its prey."Emily, it's been a while. I knew they wouldn't be able to stop me from seeing you."His voice came out raspy, and it even carried a trace of eerie amusement.Cold sweat in

    Sabrina was so terrified that she broke down in tears and screams. "This has nothing to do with me! I don't know anything!""Get him!"At the lead officer's command, two officers lunged straight for Bradley.But just as they were about to grab him, Bradley suddenly shoved the bodyguard beside him hard and pushed Sabrina directly into the arms of the officers.Seizing the split-second distraction, he spun around and hurled himself toward the floor-to-ceiling windows on the side of the banquet hall.The enormous windows shattered with a deafening crash, the spray of debris cutting into his arms.Before he fled, Bradley cast one deep look back at me. In those usually impassive eyes, there was a glint of bitter resentment and quiet malice."After him!" the lead officer roared, charging forward with his men.I followed them to the window just in time to see Bradley land on the lawn below. He scrambled to his feet and sprinted toward the dense woods behind the winery."He won't get

We all knew about this!""This woman is just a housekeeper who's been with the Fry family for too long, and now she thinks she can latch onto someone above her station!""Bradley has been more than generous with her, and she still dares to cause trouble here! How shameless of her!"The guests' murmurs grew louder and louder, and the looks they cast at me were filled with nothing but contempt and disgust.People pointed at me, some even muttering curses under their breath."So she's a fraud. She looks all prim and proper on the outside, but she's actually rotten to the core."Bradley watched it all with a

    The air in the banquet hall seemed to freeze in an instant.Every pair of eyes snapped to me. Bewilderment gave way to recognition, and then a wave of sharp intakes of breath rippled through the crowd.The smug smile on Sabrina's face stiffened immediately. She instinctively shrank back behind Bradley, clutching his cuff with fingers that wouldn't stop shaking."W-What are you doing here?" she asked in a quivering voice.I ignored her and fixed my eyes on Bradley.His pupils suddenly contracted, a flicker of panic flashing through his eyes. But it was quickly masked by his usual ruthlessness.He let go of Sabrina's waist and walked over to me, his voice carrying a barely perceptible tremor."Emily, what are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to wait for me at home?""Wait for you at home?" I repeated the words, a smile on my face as I looked at his familiar features. Then, I said softly, "Why? So you could give away my winery to someone else and announce to the world that I'm

    Bradley wasn't unaware of this, yet now, he had publicly humiliated me.Just as I could no longer hold myself back and was about to storm up to him, all of Bradley's friends surrounded them."Bradley, look at how youthful, lively, and beautiful Sabrina is!""Sabrina, Bradley gave you a winery worth over 100 million dollars like it was nothing. Where in the world could you find a man this good?""From now on, this winery belongs to the Owens family. Sabrina, how are you going to thank Bradley?"Amid the crowd's teasing laughter, Sabrina lowered her head, blushing shyly.At that moment, the winery manager, Julio Shaffer, who had come to deliver the wine, spoke up in confusion."What do you mean it belongs to the Owens family? Mr. Fry, didn't you borrow this from Ms. Blackburn?"The moment those words came out, the guests exchanged looks and immediately began whispering among themselves."What's going on?""I only heard that the winery belongs to Mrs. Fry, but isn't her last nam
