She was taken to Reginald’s study, and a bodyguard kicked her in the bend of the leg. She knelt on the ground in humiliation and became angry immediately, “How dare you to treat me like this? If Reginald knows, he won’t let you go!”
“You do know me.”
A cold laugh suddenly came in. Aurelia looked back and found that Reginald walked in slowly from the doorway and stood in front of her, looking askance at her in a condescending manner. His whole body covered with gloom.
Aurelia’s heart thumped, but she quickly put on an aggrieved face, “Reginald, they actually dared to arrest me. They said they even arrested my mother and said it was your order. They lied to me, right? How could you do that to me?”
Reginald coldly glared at her, his gaze dark, and grabbed her chin to force the question, “What are you doing at the airport?”
A flash of guilty crossed Aurelia’s eyes but she still answered stiffly, “I, I’m going to visit my aunt abroad.”
“You’re a good actress and this is why you’ve been around me for so long to fool me.”
Reginald stared at her grimly; anger bursting out of his eyes all of a sudden, “I’ll give you one last chance. Where were you on the day of my accident? Did you have anything to do with Josephine’s leaving?”
“Josephine left? Where did she go? I, I don’t know. I was also worried about you when I got the news the other day. I went to see you. You can ask your assistant!”
Aurelia pretended to be ignorant as she looked at him, her tears suddenly falling like broken beads, which was extraordinarily charming.
Seeing this scene, Reginald unexpectedly had a murderous intent in his eyes, and he suddenly slammed her to the ground fiercely, “You are trying to pretend to be ignorant again?!”
Aurelia was clearly taken aback by him, and she shrank and stared at him in dismay.
Regan turned on the TV in the study. It showed that Madam Betsy was tied up and knelt on the floor. Her hair was messed up. Several bodyguards were standing off to the side with guns pointing at her head. Madam Betsy was so scared that she kept crying and begging for mercy, “You guys let me go. I’ll say everything. At the hotel that day, it was me and Aurelia who drugged Josephine and Reginald’s wine respectively, and then we sent her to Reginald’s room and let them have sex. As long as she gets pregnant with Reginald’s child, we will pretend to be generous and let Josephine married Reginald and give birth to the child. Then we will drive her away so Aurelia would be able to adopt the child and marry into the Barnes family instead…”
Aurelia looked at the TV screen blankly. She instantly looked pale and was unable to say a word.
Reginald leaped forward and threw her a slap with a deathly pale face, “I have been kept in the dark from the beginning to the end. You’d better explain everything to me now. Say!”
Aurelia was beaten to the ground, her ears buzzing, her beautiful eyes steeped in panic, blood dripping down the corners of her mouth, wretched and miserable.
She cried out miserably, “I don’t know what she is talking about? Reginald, trust me, I don’t know anything.”
“You are still playing innocent?”
Reginald’s face was full of anger and he took a step back. Regan once again pressed the button to switch the screen. The screen first played the whole process of Aurelia appearing at the hospital to threaten Josephine, then the picture of the red Mercedes Benz fished up from the river, matching the car that collided with Reginald’s black Maybach on the highway. The license plate number was the same.
Reginald threw a copy of the car purchase contract in her face, “I saved you from Ralphy’s men at the banquet in the first place. You’ve been acting from the beginning, and you’re still acting now, very good! You’ve been around me long enough to know my means!”
“Take her down and tie her with Madam Betsy. Teach them a lesson!”
Hearing this, a few bodyguards immediately round up Aurelia to get her. Aurelia cried out loud and struggled desperately, “You can’t do this to me! I’ve done all this for you. I love you. I love you. I’ve loved you since the beginning when you saved me. Josephine, that bitch is just a gambler’s daughter. How dare she want to become your wife forever. She doesn’t deserve you.”
“You obviously hate her too, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been so cruel to her. When she was eight months pregnant, you always stayed with me and didn’t care about her. In fact, she gave you up a long time ago. I just gave her an excuse to leave on her own accord. I know you love me, Reginald…”
In an instant, the entire study was quiet, except for Aurelia’s mournful cries.
