Chapter 7
She said, “I’ll leave him. I’m getting married, too.”
Matilda sneered, “You think I’d take you word for it, you
shameless bitch?”
In the next second, Matilda grabbed her arm and jumped into
the swimming pool.
It all happened so fast that she failed to react.
Sinking into water, she couldn’t even breathe.
The great commotion quickly attracted the crowd.
“Help! Ms. Turner’s fallen into the water!”
“Someone! Help!”
Roderick pulled Matilda out of the swimming pool.
“Roderick, I don’t blame Andie. After all, you’ve lived together
for years, and seeing us getting engaged is so overwhelming for her. She got jealous and did this on a whim.”
Matilda slipped her arm through his. Though her voice was
delicate and sweet, she was hinting at something.
Chapter 7
“You should find some time to have a proper talk with her. We’ll
get married soon enough, and she’s a grown woman already…”
As she looked up, she met Roderick’s glacial gaze and sensibly
stopped talking.
“You know better than anyone why we got engaged.””
The smile on her face froze as he said this flatly.
Then he continued, his words harsh, “Don’t treat me like a fool.
“This is your final warning. If you dare to hurt her again, there
will be consequences.”
After saying this, he went straight upstairs. She stood
motionless, fixing her gaze on Andrea’s room with malice.
She clenched her fists so hard that freshly done nails snapped
off, cursing inwardly, “You bitch, Andrea! Roderick’s mine! How
dare you stand in our way! I promise you’re gonna suffer!”
Oblivious to their conversation, Andrea went back to her room.
She washed up simply before collapsing onto the bed and going
to sleep.
Drifting in and out of consciousness, she was lifted up with
brutal force, which jolted her awake.
Chapter 7
“Who is it?”
In the next second, Roderick’s face came into her view.
He traced her pale face with his slender fingers so gently as if
she were a precious treasure.
“Roderick?” She was still groggy.
“Why’s he here? Why isn’t he with Matilda?” she thought.
Roderick questioned her sternly, “Why didn’t you say anything?
“Why didn’t you resist? You just let her push you into the
water? Andrea, what were you thinking? Are you stupid or
what?”
Only he knew how panicked he had been when Andrea fell into
the water. Just thinking about what could’ve happened to her
made him want to scream.
Andrea let out a derisive laugh, thinking, “What did he want me
to say?
“Would anyone believe me?
“Besides, everything happened with his silent approval. Why
bother acting now?”
Chapter 2
She took a deep breath and pushed him away. “She’s your
fiancee. I…”
Before she could finish, he gripped her slender waist, scoffing,
“What is it? Are you jealous?”
Her gaze laced with disdain as well as her evasive posture stung
him, and he was eager to do something to prove to her his true
O feelings.
Feeling his warm breath on the back of her neck, she couldn’t
help but shiver.
Suddenly, she slapped across his face hard, shouting in agony,
“Don’t touch me! You know I hate being forced!”
His expression turned icy at once. Though furious, he didn’t do
anything to her. After quite a long time, he left with his clothes
in his hand.
She breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing onto the bed.
A great headache woke her up again. Sensing she was having a
fever, she walked out of the room to fetch some medicine.
Just then, she heard suggestive sounds from the next room–it
was Roderick’s room.
