Se connecterChapter 77: I Was Diablo’s Person From the Very BeginningJustin’s words struck Mary like a hammer to the head, hurting so much she could barely breathe.Mary trembled with anger, gritting her teeth as she muttered,“Why?”He was someone who had helped her countless times. Mary had considered Justin a close friend, someone she could openly share her feelings with.After returning to the Salvaria family, besides Lucas, she had been unable to trust anyone. Every person who approached her always seemed to have their own agenda.But Justin had entered her life so naturally, never showing any signs of taking advantage of her, never demanding anything in return. He had stayed by Mary’s side like a true friend, helping her whenever she needed it.And yet now, he was pointing a gun directly at her.The betrayal was so painful and sudden that Mary simply could not believe it.Mary glared at Justin with furious eyes and shouted,“Tell me! Why?”Justin continued looking straight into Mary’s eyes
Chapter 76: He’s gone crazyEdric had never known that a person’s gaze could be so cold and filled with such hatred, but deep down he knew clearly that Mary truly hated Bella.The Bella in Edric’s memories had never been a cruel woman.Love from their school days always carried countless beautiful memories, and the Bella from back then had been the most wonderful woman to the young Edric, until the day she left, carrying her ambitions and dreams of a brighter future to some distant land.He could not understand what else Bella was searching for when she already had an Edric Raymond, a man who controlled a hundred billion dollar corporation, yet she still chose to study abroad.Edric had been devastated. He had been unable to get over the fact that someone born with such superior conditions like himself could still be abandoned so decisively.Until he met an utterly ordinary girl, he met Anne, his wife.And then Bella returned with a twisted soul.Edric’s limbs went numb, feeling as th
Chapter 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
