Semua Bab Ninety-Nine Wishes, One Broken Marriage: Bab 371 - Bab 380

However, Theodore had been unusually irate that night and refused to listen. He and Queenie slept in separate beds that day.In order to make them reconcile with each other, Jane had tiptoed out of bed and gone to Theodore's room to try and explain things once more.She felt that pregnancy was a process that would require going to the hospital for check-ups and giving birth. A baby couldn't just appear out of thin air.All their neighbors could testify for Queenie.Jane slowly pushed open the door to Theodore's room, only to see a disgusting sight.…Her father, Theodore, was on a video call with a naked woman whom Jane did not recognize.Jane had been stunned.The reason that Theodore had refused to listen to reason and had blamed Queenie completely irrationally was that he wanted to conceal the fact that he was the one who had done something wrong.That night had been as starry as it was today.Queenie had stepped out into the night with Jane's tiny hand in hers. She had wi

"Since he's offended you, then you can do with him as you please." As Jane spoke, she turned to look at Darlene."Are you happy with that, Darlene?""Yes. You've always been very thoughtful, Jane. I've always been very happy with how you take care of things."Upon hearing this, Eric stood up eagerly before they had even finished speaking. He walked over to Jeremy. His eyes were tinged red with bloodlust as he shouted, "Tie him up!"His voice echoed in the vast hall, but no one answered. Eric's head whipped around.Jane said calmly, "I promised to let you deal with him as you please, but I didn't say that I would restrain Dr. Cooper. This is a punishment for contacting Darlene without permission."Darlene smiled at that. "Don't worry, Eric. I brought people to help you.""You can come in now!" she said, clapping her hands.Jane looked up, and her expression darkened. She knew that Darlene had planted spies around her, but she had never expected it would be Wilma Soren, one of he

Darlene chuckled lightly as she spoke. As she watched Eric being tortured on the screen, there was a twisted delight in her eyes. Jane's brow wrinkled slightly. It was the first time she had realized that Darlene did not seem normal.On the screen, Eric was slumped in a heap on the floor. Jeremy pummeled him relentlessly with his fists and elbows. Darlene was flushed red, and she got to her feet automatically with a manic expression on her face. "Hit him! Beat him to death!"She was breathing heavily and took a long time to calm down.She glanced back at Jane, who looked nonplussed, and smiled. "Do you think I'm weird? You should really ask your damn father what he did to me."Jane frowned."I thought he became religious and has been serving a temporary monastic vow for the past two years? What could he have done to you?""Become religious?" There was a vicious expression on Darlene's face. "I think someone knocked him silly with some rosary beads!" As she spoke, she stared

It was Angela's final bullet. If it hurt Jeremy…Angela lowered her eyes and slowly let go at last.There was a thud as she tossed the pistol aside.Jane's breathing quickened as she watched.Darlene laughed softly. "I thought you said that the two of you are completely unrelated."Dr. Cooper didn't resist at all after he heard what I said just now."As she spoke, she turned on the two-way audio once more. "Eric, don't just stand there. Pick up the gun."Upon hearing this, Angela's expression changed. She started forward, but Wilma barked, "Don't move!"She pulled out a short dagger that had been hidden at her waist and held it against Jeremy's waist."If you move again, I'll stick this knife in him."Eric slowly sat up from where he had fallen on the floor.Although he found the pain hard to endure and could barely use his arm, the resentment he felt fueled him to grit his teeth and start crawling toward the gun."You animal… Just you wait…"I'm going t-to stuff the gun i

Darlene took a deep breath and suppressed the hatred and jealousy she felt.After all, she was the one who had gone to Theodore of her own initiative.As Theodore's secretary, she had always gone with him on his trips abroad and had uncovered his deepest secret.When he was at home, Theodore always treated his wife and daughter gently, and he had a good reputation as a kind employer.However, whenever he was abroad, it was as if the foreign culture and customs unleashed the beast inside him.When he was in the city outskirts, Theodore would beat up homeless men without abandon.He treated his domestic staff the same way. He would flog them if they displeased him, as if he was finally letting loose his true nature.Finally, a staff member could no longer endure it and resigned.That was when Darlene had offered herself to Theodore as a way for him to vent.She had contrived to get pregnant with Eric so that she could successfully become his wife. That had been worth gritting he
