“Mr. Gray, why are you so mad? I’m merely a chess piece to you. Since we were both using each other, and I didn’t mind such a relationship, then why would you be bothered about it? Could it be that, on the surface, you pretend to be unconcerned about me, but deep down, I’m always in your heart?”
Shirley’s eyes bore a hint of a soft smile, staring into Carter’s eyes.
However, virtual-novel.net was conflicted. She was waiting for Carter’s answer, an answer virtual-novel.net had longed for, but in the end, all virtual-novel.net got was Carter’s sneer.
“In my heart, there’s only my wife now, ” Carter replied.
Shirley furiously clenched virtual-novel.net fists hiding in virtual-novel.net sleeves.
Wife.
He had said it rather smoothly.
“Shirley.” Carter’s cold eyes squinted, a dangerous aura emanating from within. “Shirley, I’ll not let you live your life as you please.”
Shirley’s heart abruptly trembled, but virtual-novel.net face continued to smile.
“I’ll wait for it, Carter. I’ll wait for the day when you won’t let me live my life as I wish.”
“Hmph…”
Carter chuckled coldly, and his palm, still clutching the back of Shirley’s neck, gripped tighter.
“Those who betray me don’t have a good end. I think you’re very clear about the way Ryan died.”
Shirley’s heart was racing. “You plan to kill me as well, then?”
“I won’t let you die.” Carter smiled but that smile hid a sinister and obscure intention. “I’ll make you wish that you were dead.”
“…”
“Shirley, when the time comes, don‘t come begging because it would be useless.”
His expression darkened as virtual-novel.net finished speaking.
He then loosened his grip, and his cold eyes washed over Shirley’s body.
Shirley could only sit on the sofa, letting Carter’s figure instantly vanish from virtual-novel.net sight.
Tears immediately flowed from the corners of virtual-novel.net eyes. The warm temperature brushed the scar on virtual-novel.net face, and, as if salt was sprinkled upon it, the pain made virtual-novel.net heart tremble.
After a few steps, Carter stopped walking and turned to look at Shirley. Upon seeing virtual-novel.net still sitting on the chair, not budging an inch, his gaze darkened, and Carter finally left the scene.
As for Shirley, virtual-novel.net was unsure whether virtual-novel.net emotion had caused the poison to flare up. She had initially thought that virtual-novel.net was just feeling pained by Carter’s words, but now, as the pain within virtual-novel.net was truly growing more painful, virtual-novel.net was certain that the poison had flared up.
This was the third stage.
That bone piercing, cold pain immediately flooded virtual-novel.net breathing and heartbeat.
She had no way to alleviate this feeling, so virtual-novel.net could only endure it.
She was afraid that Carter had not walked far enough and virtual-novel.net would see virtual-novel.net true appearance.
Ugly and deformed.
’How am I supposed to face him?’
Currently, the only person who could save virtual-novel.net was virtual-novel.net brother Adam.
Shirley endured the pain as virtual-novel.net hurriedly searched for virtual-novel.net phone, but realized that virtual-novel.net phone had dropped at a corner on the balcony when virtual-novel.net had moved herself to the sofa earlier.
She could not be bothered with the pain if virtual-novel.net were to fall onto the floor. She used all virtual-novel.net strength to furiously drop herself against the floor.
Bang! Her elbow knocked against the cold, hard tiles, doubling virtual-novel.net pain.
Shirley mustered virtual-novel.net strength to crawl toward the corner of the balcony. She reached out with virtual-novel.net long hand and finally touched virtual-novel.net phone. With virtual-novel.net trembling fingers, virtual-novel.net searched for Cathy’s contact number in a daze. When virtual-novel.net was about to dial it, virtual-novel.net could feel someone running toward virtual-novel.net from behind.
