LOGINChapter 75: Can I Kill Bella?Edric let out a long breath and replied in a low voice.“I don’t hate her. At first, the marriage was due to unavoidable circumstances. It’s true that I used you to forget my ex-lover.”As he spoke those thoughts about Anne aloud, Edric finally realized deeply the extent of his mistake.Because of his momentary foolishness, he had hurt that innocent girl.Mary looked at Edric, smiled helplessly, and asked.“You don’t hate Anne, but you never liked her either, is that right?”Mary’s question left Edric speechless, unable to offer any explanation.The mistakes of the past seemed so great that no matter how much he tried to make up for them now, they could never be erased.Looking at Mary’s expression, all the explanations he wanted to give became meaningless, and he could not bring himself to say them.Because he himself had realized how deeply his actions had hurt her.“I’m sorry for looking down on you when we first got married. I’m sorry for leaving you
Chapter 74: What Do You Think About the Girl Named AnneCompared to the turmoil at the Raymond family estate, Mary’s place at the moment was unbelievably peaceful.Mary stared fixedly at Edric. She still had not shown any reaction to Edric’s sudden proposal. She had already anticipated Edric’s intentions when he invited her out alone, but his sincere confession still left Mary flustered.At this moment, Linda was standing outside the door, pressing her ear against it to eavesdrop. When she heard Edric’s confession, she shivered slightly and then giggled.“Oh my, this is way too romantic! It’s just like those romance dramas I watch on TV. Seeing it happen in real life is truly amazing.”Originally, tonight Linda was going to go out to the night market with Justin, but because he had some sudden business, she decided to stay in her room and continue watching the unfinished romance drama. By chance, when she went out to look for food, Linda accidentally saw the servants busily preparing
Chapter 73: An Unexpected TurnRodina knew Jonathan was a little angry, so she stopped joking and sat down beside the boy, gently coaxing him.“Don’t be angry. Today is your sixth birthday, so the two of us wanted to do something surprising. What happened earlier was just acting.”She glanced at Mr. Raymond as a signal. Mr. Raymond immediately understood and sat down beside Jonathan, rubbing the boy’s head.“That’s right. We prepared a lot for today, so just forget those small things. Just enjoy everything.”Jonathan pouted and let out a sigh. So everything had only been a dramatic birthday act.But was it really just a play?Jonathan was smart enough to realize that Mr. Raymond would not suddenly bring the whole family somewhere else for no reason.Even though Mary and Lucas had not said anything clearly, Jonathan understood that someone was targeting him. Mr. and Mrs. Raymond deliberately avoided mentioning it in front of him, but suddenly playing this game today must have had some
Chapter 72: Little RatsHearing that, the subordinate also listened carefully and looked at the leader with an expectant gaze. The leader gripped the machine gun firmly in his hand and revealed a savage smile. He held the machine gun, signaled to the others, then carefully stepped into the kitchen.The kitchen had no one inside, the utensils were still neatly placed on the shelves. The killer holding the machine gun walked in quietly, his eyes fixed only on the very large refrigerator standing in the corner of the room. The subordinates following behind also tried to step lightly, not daring to make any sound.The hum of the refrigerator motor continued steadily, while the footsteps of the leader echoed across the floor rhythmically, getting closer and closer.Only this room had not yet been searched, and no one had run out from here to resist. The leader believed that the servants who had run out in many directions earlier were only a distraction to draw attention away from the place
Chapter 71: The Raid on the Raymond EstateAt the same time as Mary and Edric’s trip, the Raymond estate on this side had turned into a bloody battlefield.In the grand hall, a maid lay collapsed in a pool of blood. A masked man stepped forward and kicked the body that had just fiercely resisted, laughing with a smug expression.“You knew you couldn’t win, so why struggle? Wouldn’t it have been better to just raise your hands and surrender?”The entire Raymond estate had been infiltrated by a masked armed squad equipped with advanced weapons.They had knocked out the outer guards and broken in from multiple directions, their preparation thorough enough to wipe out an entire army.At this moment, Rodina was clutching Jonathan tightly, hiding in a dark corner of a room. Jonathan could clearly hear the anxious heartbeat echoing beside his ear.He strained to listen to every faint sound coming from beyond the door.The worried and frightened expression on Rodina’s face was enough for Jona
Chapter 70: The ProposalAfter landing at the airport, Edric took everyone back to his private villa to put away their luggage.The island was truly as beautiful as Edric had described. The air was fresh, the sea a brilliant blue, and the white sand stunning beyond words. Although it was a private island, Edric operated many services and resorts for vacation rentals. On ordinary days, it was crowded with guests. But because he had invited Mary to visit, he had suspended business for an entire week.Standing on the villa’s balcony, Mary could already see the endless stretch of blue sea. The salty scent carried by the wind brushed against her nose. This closeness to nature made all her troubles seem to melt away.Her gaze shifted, and she noticed a dense line of bodyguards stationed around the perimeter of the villa, their expressions solemn and alert.At that moment, Edric stepped up beside her. Following her line of sight, he said, “It’s just a small arrangement to ensure our safety.
Chapter 65: The Date Between the Two of ThemAfter a brief farewell to Rodina, Mary returned the phone to Edric, yet her emotions were still surging inside her. She sat there blankly, gazing out the window, so moved that she almost shed tears.Mary had chosen to leave, and she had never once had th
Chapter 62: The Suspicious Teacher!Edric opened the food container and carefully arranged it in front of Mary. He even meticulously wiped the spoon and chopsticks once more before handing them to her.“How are you feeling today? Are you any better? Eat a bit of nourishing food. You have lost a lot
Chapter 64: A Phone Call from RodinaThe incident that happened at the school was handled very quickly and cleanly by the bodyguards, but it still could not avoid causing a small disturbance. After reporting back to the Raymond family, Rodina hurried to the school to deal with the aftermath and pre
Chapter 59: The Only Woman the Don Ever LovedMary asked Ivanka again, her face filled with shock.“What exactly happened?”Only then did Ivanka realize that she had revealed a secret Mary had never known.
