Thump thump thump.
The sound of leather shoes stepping on the wooden floor gradually approached.Someone was coming.Henry suddenly became sober. His clanger made him feel annoyed. He pushed Eliza away violently. Her back hit the railing, a painful expression was revealed on her face."Urgh!"Her back must have been bruised. Eliza held the railing tightly. She bit her lip in hopes of relieving the pain in her back.Fredrik stood at the door and looked over calmly.When his gaze fell on Eliza, he paused for a moment and only then did he look at Henry.He said in the dignified tone of an elder: "Henry, it is not so chivalrous of you to beat a woman."He spoke in a flat and emotionless voice.It sounded awkward.Eliza secretly curled her lips and the pain in her back finally eased a little."Why is not little uncle in the hall?""I'm tired of soc"Do you want to know the cause?" Henry mocked with eyes full of malice, "But why should I tell you? I will give back all the humiliation, suffering and disappointment you have given me! Eliza, if you do not want anyone to know what you have done, you should have not done it in the first place! All you get now is your punishment! ""Tell me. What have I done wrong?"She was betrayed, hated and humiliated for no reason. She should know the reason! Even a convicted prisoner should know about the crime he committed, right? She wanted to know the truth!"I will not tell you. Eliza, I hate you. I want to kill you, but I will not kill you. I rather want you to live in pain. You can only be Mrs Young for the rest of your life, but pity you, it's just an empty title! "Henry stared coldly at Eliza and lit a cigarette with his lighter. He then smoked it leisurely.He enjoyed Eliza's suffering and her angry look.
Fredrik did not bother to look at Henry who had fallen to the ground. Instead, he knelt on the bed on one knee and bent down to pull Eliza up. He patted her anxiously on her back, but not affectionately."Ahem..." Eliza coughed in pain as she survived the ordeal. The corners of her watery eyes were red. It felt great to breathe some fresh air. She then smiled for no reason and she could not control it.Fredrik stared at the clear bruises on her neck with his gloomy eyes. The fingerprints on her neck were especially clear. He thought that if he had come a little later she would have been strangled alive.Henry had also cleansed himself of anger. He then got up and stared blankly at Eliza's painful appearance. He could not help but clench his hands."What are you doing? Go get the doctor here!." said Fredrik in a cold voice.Henry looked at Eliza before turning away and leaving the room.The doctor was about to get t
She suddenly sat up and looked sideways in panic, "Fred... Eh, there's no one here."She was terrified.Eliza stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief."Eliza, did you not hear me call you?"Henry shouted impatiently outside as if he would kick the door open if Eliza did not open it.The sound had given Eliza a headache."Yes I am coming." Eliza answered weakly and got out of bed.Of course, she would not open the door with her 'worn-out' appearance.Fortunately, Henry no longer knocked on the door when he heard her voice."Go down for breakfast," he said before leaving.When she entered the bathroom, Eliza gritted her teeth and cursed at Fredrik when she saw the bite marks and bruises on her neck. After she had washed quickly, Eliza covered the bite mark with a thick foundation.Although the bruise was not as bad as last night, it was still quite clear.In the end, she coul
"I get it." Henry answered half-heartedly.Although he hated Eliza's betrayal, he never thought of having children with anyone else. This was a strange criterion for Henry, and not even he knew why he insisted on it. Maybe it was because love and hate were originally intertwined. If he did not love Eliza, why would he hate her now?Both got busy as soon as they came to the company.They hid all the information they did not want Fredrik to know, they pretended to be generous on the outside, but in the dark they did everything possible with vigilance.To everyone's surprise, Fredrik did not join the Young family's company, but he generously bought an entire building instead. He even invited the most illustrious design team to renovate the building.…..In the living room of the Young family home.Albert looked at Fredrik, who was sitting opposite him, and said thoughtfully, "Fredrik, why do yo
Eliza sighed slightly when she heard the busy tone. Henry had hung up before she could say anything more.What could she do?She went up to the study to get the file Henry needed. After that, Eliza took her own things and left hurriedly.She did not want to be late for work, so she drove at full speed.Luckily, the morning rush had passed and there were only a few red lights on the road.However, she was still five minutes late when she arrived at Henry's company.She called Henry because she wanted his secretary to come and get the documents from her downstairs, but Henry refused in a harsh tone."The secretary is busy preparing materials for the meeting. Send it up now. Hurry up." Henry hung up unceremoniously after he had finished speaking.Eliza took a few deep breaths to resist the urge to throw the documents in the trash. She thought Henry might need the documents asap, and for her
Eliza felt, however, that Fredrik was a black-hearted bastard and was only good at teasing her. Can he surpass the current Young family in the future? Hmph, she would not believe it."Why? Don't you believe it?""No. I do not believe it." Eliza pouted.She did not think Fredrik could be so amazing.No matter what, she would not believe it."How about this? Make a bet with me and grant me a wish if you lose.""Ah, you're the worst, dad. I'm not going to bet with you. You're obviously cheating on me on purpose. The older, the wiser. How could I question your judgment?"She simply hated Fredrik, so she did not want to look up to him. She would not do anything that would increase the morale of others and ruin her own prestige."Haha, you silly girl." Daniel laughed.His daughter was his precious source of happiness, and he would be in a good mood as long as he was with her
The car drove slowly until they reached the front of the Moore family's villa. Eliza got off as soon as the car stopped.Daniel and his wife Elizabeth Howard waited at the front door to meet the couple. Elizabeth was glad to see both her daughter and her son-in-law together. The two rarely came to visit ever since their wedding, which made Elizabeth feel a little disappointed.Henry especially brought some presents. He handed Daniel a set of ivory chess boards, and as for Eliza's mother, Elizabeth, he gave her an expensive red jade necklace. Apparently Henry had put in some effort when choosing his gifts, which made Daniel & Elizabeth very happy.Eliza stood aside with a faint smile and watched Henry greet Daniel and Elizabeth politely.For a moment she felt that everything had gone back to before the marriage. At the time, Henry was so gentle when they returned home together, but now... everything was just a hypocritical illusion."Eliza, what's wrong? What are you thinking?""Nothi
The driver was on the phone, "Yes, I went to check the old house. I bought it back a long time ago and never visited it. Okay, tomorrow..."His voice suddenly stopped as if something caught his attention."Hey Fredrik. Hello? Are you coming tomorrow?""Talk to you again." He hung up quickly.Fredrik drove the car closer to the sidewalk and slowed down. As he got closer, he was finally able to confirm that it was his little wildcat. Fredrik curled his lips when he remembered that Moore's villa was in the same area.Honk Honk.He honked deliberately. He saw that the despondent and pitiful Eliza quickly raised her head, and her eyes seemed to shine.She got up quickly and walked eagerly forward."Hey, is it convenient for me to hitch a ride?"As soon as Eliza stopped speaking, the window lowered.She was shocked for a moment when she saw Fredrik's face. The smile on her lips disappeared immediately."It's you! Why are you here?""Wouldn't you take the ride now that you know it's me?""O
