Everyone stopped.When Sabrina looked back, an unshaven Alex, with an incredibly sunken expression, was standing thereGosh!It had just been half a month! How did Alex become that way?He was always well-dressed, well-mannered, and calm. No one could ever guess what was on his mind. He always looked peaceful on the surface, but he was actually extremely capable.But what about now? He looked like a sloppy and unkempt man.Even though he looked like that, his voice was still cold enough to make everyone shudder.It was as if they had walked into a freezer.The three of them who were beating up Lily immediately stopped in fright.However, Aino immediately saw that her father was behind Uncle Alex.She was incredibly happy, and gave Lily’s nostrils one last forceful tug.Lily’s nostrils had been pulled by as much as five centimeters before they rebounded back.“Ah… You despicable child!” Lily cried out in agony.Aino immediately ran to her father and climbed up onto him.
They looked like trumpets. Her nostrils were so large they could be used as funnels. On her swollen face, she was incredibly ugly. She really looked like a pig. Gods! There were also her bleeding lips. And her tongue. Alex had never looked at her in this state before! Even if it was not Alex and someone else, they would have probably kicked her away in disdain as well. No wonder those cursed women were laughing.“Ah…” Lily let out an incredibly anguished cry from upstairs. On the other side, Sabrina, Yvonne, Ruth and Aino looked at Alex innocently.“Mr Poole, I’m sorry, today, Aino…” Sabrina glanced at Aino.Aino immediately said, “Who asked that thief to call me a despicable brat! She even said that Aunt Jane is dead! Who is she? Why is she in Aunt Jane’s home? Why did she run upstairs? Quickly call the police to catch her, she’s a thief!”Sabrina said, “My friends said that Aino was in trouble, so…”Facing the silent Alex, Sabrina stopped explaining. He liked the silence an
Where was Jane? Alex was speechless. He ended the call before answering Sabrina. Sabrina lashed out. “Hello! Hello! You jerk! I always thought you were a good man, a prudent…”Even though she knew he had already hung up the phone, Sabrina still continued shouting at him from her end. Sebastian took the phone from her. “Give him time to sober up. I’ll ask him again after he’s calmed down.” Sabrina sighed. “Well, that’s all we can do.” With that, the group of them entered the car and drove away from Alex’s summer house. Alex stood on the balcony and watched as they left. Leaving the balcony, he went to Lily Parker’s room.Lily never thought Alex would come in, so she had not bothered to lock the door. At the sight of him entering her room, her face flushed red. But even if she was blushing, it was not noticeable at all. Her face was now the ugly dark maroon of a piece of pig’s liver, as a result of the beating she had suffered under the hands of Aino, Ruth, and Yvonne. Lily imm
Alex switched to another venue, and ordered three bottles of sprites at one go. There was no one else in the spacious private room except himself. Just like that, he unhappily downed glass after glass. His vision was a blur. His mind was heavy, but his feet felt light, unable to support his weight. In his mind, the memories of the life he shared with Jane kept replaying like the reel of a movie.In his dreams, he still saw the scenes of his shared life with Jane. She was a woman of few words. When he remained quiet, she would never disturb him. She was also very attentive. Seeing him come home alone, tired and weary, she would immediately rush to him and help him take off his trench coat, then with a hand on his shoulder, help him sit down on the bench in the doorway. He did not have to do anything.She would personally help him remove his shoes, and slip into a pair of slippers. He did not even have to wash his hands, all he had to do was sit quietly in the kitchen, and she wo
Of course he would choose the wife. Any man with an ounce of conscience would know this. So, was he wrong in choosing Lily? He never said he would choose Jane! Right from the first day, he just saved her because he pitied her, pitied her for almost being beaten to death, and that was why he had saved her. He never loved her. The one he loved and missed with all his heart was always Lily. The little swan that he watched grew up. But why was he suffering so much? Why was he in so much pain! He downed another glass of wine. Suddenly, he retched and vomited.“Sir, Sir!” The manager held onto Alex’s arm. Alex had already lost consciousness. The manager hurried Alex to the hospital. The doctors put him on a drip, and because there was no one else to care for him, the manager had no choice but to stay beside him through the night.The next morning, Alex’s phone rang. It was a call from Lily.The manager answered. “Who is this?” “Who the hell are you! Every friend of Alex’s knows
His features were sharp and defined, beneath the warm contours of his face lay an ice-cold man. And he was a very capable man, claiming his throne as the top dog of Kidon City. Lily Parker would never hand over such an excellent man to another woman! With the help of two caretakers, they helped Alex into the car and Lily drove him directly back to the summer house. Together with the help of the servants, Lily supported Alex into the house and onto his bed. Only then, did she look at the man she brought home. She said in a pitiful tone, as if she felt bad for herself. “You can only see how nice I am now! When you’re drunk and unconscious, I am the woman who is beside you! It’s me, do you know that! Where is Jane? Why isn’t she here to take care of you! Get up, turn over, I’ll take off your shoes for you!” Lily flipped Alex over with rough, big, movements. Alex slept sweetly and soundly, but he kept muttering, “Jane…Jane…Jane, where are you? What will you do when you run out of mon
Lily raised her blurred eyes and looked seductively at the man who was questioning her. He looked very unfamiliar, a face she had never seen before. “Who…who are you?” Lily asked, trying to sound arrogant. The man’s tone was much colder than hers. “It’s none of your business.”Lily lifted her head and barked out a laugh. “You…you idiot! Even if…you don’t tell me, I know…who you are! You…must definitely be close to Sabrina. I heard that b*tch intoxicated the air of South City with her dirty breath…”Before she could finish her sentence, a loud, tight, slap landed on her face. Lily immediately flung the wine glass in her hands away. “Damn you! You slapped me! How dare you slap me! Do you know who I am?!” It felt like all five years’ worth of bad luck had befallen her in the past two days! Just yesterday, she was beaten up! And today, she was slapped again! The person slapping her now was even a man! A strangely unfamiliar man.He grabbed onto her hair. “I don’t give a damn who
At this moment, Lily felt as if she was surrounded by enemies on all sides. She looked around her, hoping someone would come and save her. If this happened in the past, someone would definitely come and save her. But today, no one was offering her airtight protection. Suddenly, Lily felt afraid. Her eyelashes fluttered in fear, gazing in absolute fear at the man who kicked her. His ruthless eyes were looking at her. “Don’t…don’t come near me…” Lily was well and truly scared now. She was a strong and sturdy woman, but no matter what, she was still a woman. She could never withstand the fists of a man. His expression was cold and indifferent, his tone calm. “Didn’t I tell you to stop scolding her just now! If you continue cursing her, I will beat you to the death!” Lily immediately looked toward the bartender. “Call the police, call the police!” But everyone ignored her. The bartender had ducked under the bar table to hide in shock.“Don’t…don’t come near me!” Without an ounce o
