Chapter 6

Snow hugged Adam tightly from behind him and practically begged, “Adam, William is not treating me nicely at all. He has plenty of other lovers, and I feel so wronged.”

Adam scowled and clenched his fists tightly. “You stayed by William and gave him your whole heart. You even gave him the best years of your life, but he’s doing this to you?! Snow, don’t worry. I’ll settle scores with him for you right now and ask him whether he even has a speck of a guilty conscience!”

“No! You can’t!” Snow shook her head and placed her delicate hands on Adam’s. Her voice was hesitant but hopeful. “Adam, you’ve sacrificed your marriage for me, and I trust you. But if we bring this to the table, William will definitely be angry at me and divorce me. If that happens, what then? It’s not as if you can marry me.”

Snow bit her lip. “Of course, if you’re willing to leave Ginnie and marry me, I won’t have to tolerate William anymore.”

Adam said nothing. After a moment, he turned around and hugged Snow as he started patting her back gently. “Snow, I’m willing to do whatever you want. I’ll teach William a lesson from the shadows once I find the chance to do so, and he’ll definitely stop cheating on you.”

Snow hugged Adam’s waist even tighter and buried her face in his arms as she cried.

Ginnie had to grip the door frame tightly to prevent her legs from giving out on her.

She never thought that the usually level-headed Adam would become so wild and aggressive for someone else.

Her vision blurred, and Ginnie gagged before she stumbled away.

She ended up running to the manmade lake in the backyard as she gasped for air.

Her head seemed to be stuffed with cotton. Her arm ached as well, but none of it could compare to the hurt in her heart.

“Well, well, if it isn’t the former genius artist, Ginnie Sullivan. Why are you hiding here like a coward?”

Ginnie looked up and saw Snow standing haughtily in front of her.

But since it was Howard’s birthday today, Ginnie did not want to cause trouble with her, so she got up and wanted to leave, but Snow grabbed her arm and pinched the part that was the most heavily injured.

“Ah!” Ginnie cradled her arm and gnashed her teeth together as she glared at Snow. “Snow, I don’t want to ruin Mr. Howard’s birthday party! Don’t cross the line!”

Yet Snow just acted as if she heard the greatest joke in the world. She snickered and sized up Ginnie’s arm with a mocking look.

“You must feel horrible since your arm still hasn’t recovered, even after three years have passed. Do you know why you got injured in the first place? I’ll tell you out of the kindness of my heart. I asked Adam to do it for me!”

Ginnie’s heart squeezed in pain at Snow’s words.

She knew that Adam had refused to let her get her arm treated for Snow’s sake, but what did Snow mean by that?

Feeling pleased with Ginnie’s reaction, Snow smiled and said, “I cried to Adam and said that you were better in me in every way, then I asked him to help me break your hand. He agreed to it and pretended to owe money to loan sharks so that he could make you work nonstop!

“You didn’t break your arm by accident either. Adam got someone to do it.

“Even though I only asked him to break your hand, Adam pitied me and broke your arm. He does whatever I want. If I had asked him to take your life, would it have worked?

“Heh. I’ll let you live for now because I want you to see that the two men you liked in the past are now dancing in the palm of my hand. Even if you’re a genius artist, it doesn’t matter. In the end, you can’t even compare to me!”

Ginnie felt her blood drain. She tried her best to remain calm as she hissed, “Is that all you’ve got? You can’t compare to my drawing skills, so you relied on men to pull these underhanded tricks. Even if you had an extra three years, you still had to steal my artwork to gain some recognition! You’re forever so despicable!”

Snow’s expression sank, and she slapped Ginnie hard in the face. “You witch! Even now, you’re still going up against me!”

Before Ginnie could react to the situation, Snow’s expression morphed into a dark sneer.

“Ginnie, if I told Adam that you wanted to kill me out of anger, what would Adam do?”

With that said, she grabbed Ginnie’s injured arm and dragged her into the lake with her.
