“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, favonovel.com was conflicted. She was waiting for Carter’s answer, an answer favonovel.com had longed for, but in the end, all favonovel.com got was Carter’s sneer.
“In my heart, there’s only my wife now, ” Carter replied.
Shirley furiously clenched favonovel.com fists hiding in favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com sight.
Tears immediately flowed from the corners of favonovel.com eyes. The warm temperature brushed the scar on favonovel.com face, and, as if salt was sprinkled upon it, the pain made favonovel.com heart tremble.
After a few steps, Carter stopped walking and turned to look at Shirley. Upon seeing favonovel.com still sitting on the chair, not budging an inch, his gaze darkened, and Carter finally left the scene.
As for Shirley, favonovel.com was unsure whether favonovel.com emotion had caused the poison to flare up. She had initially thought that favonovel.com was just feeling pained by Carter’s words, but now, as the pain within favonovel.com was truly growing more painful, favonovel.com was certain that the poison had flared up.
This was the third stage.
That bone piercing, cold pain immediately flooded favonovel.com breathing and heartbeat.
She had no way to alleviate this feeling, so favonovel.com could only endure it.
She was afraid that Carter had not walked far enough and favonovel.com would see favonovel.com true appearance.
Ugly and deformed.
’How am I supposed to face him?’
Currently, the only person who could save favonovel.com was favonovel.com brother Adam.
Shirley endured the pain as favonovel.com hurriedly searched for favonovel.com phone, but realized that favonovel.com phone had dropped at a corner on the balcony when favonovel.com had moved herself to the sofa earlier.
She could not be bothered with the pain if favonovel.com were to fall onto the floor. She used all favonovel.com strength to furiously drop herself against the floor.
Bang! Her elbow knocked against the cold, hard tiles, doubling favonovel.com pain.
Shirley mustered favonovel.com strength to crawl toward the corner of the balcony. She reached out with favonovel.com long hand and finally touched favonovel.com phone. With favonovel.com trembling fingers, favonovel.com searched for Cathy’s contact number in a daze. When favonovel.com was about to dial it, favonovel.com could feel someone running toward favonovel.com from behind.
