“Credence, why are you in my room? My sister is weak and seriously ill. She needs your company more than I do. How was she willing to let you return?”
Dorothy pursed her lips and laughed sarcastically.
Dorothy was self-conscious. Credence had returned to the villa before 8 o’clock in the evening. Certainly, he had not returned to give her warmth and care.
This was what she thought in her heart, but when she looked at his cold and stern eyes, Dorothy could not help but feel sad and disappointed.
Credence stood in the middle of the guest room. He heard a sound behind him, turned around, and looked over with a faint smile.
Her looked at the bags in her hand, which contained women’s skincare products and clothes. He could not spot any men’s underwear. He concluded that Germaine must have handed them to Juelz on her behalf. His eyebrows twitched, and his eyes narrowed.
He squinted his eyes very slowly, like in a slow motion movie, gradually hiding the hideousness that appeared in the depths of his eyes.
“You’re back!”
The man’s two indifferent words were so cold that Dorothy felt numb in her fingertips.
Trying to stay calm, she walked past him and placed the bags in her hands on the sofa. Then, she turned to Credence with a polite smile, “You have never taken the initiative to come to me when everything is fine. Tell me, what’s the matter?”
Credence had not shifted his gaze from her face since she entered the room. It was the same now.
He slowly walked toward the door of the guest room, closed it and locked it.
Then, he slowly turned around and walked straight toward Dorothy. With cruelty and coldness shrouding his body, he approached her step by step.
Dorothy was forced to retreat, step by step. When she backed up against the wall, she had nowhere to go.
However, she stubbornly straightened her back and leaned her back tightly against the icy wall. She stared calmly at the man who hated her, yet she was crazily in love with.
She pursed her soft and pale lips tightly. She waited for him to open his mouth and utter words that would stab into her heart cruelly.
Credence slightly wrinkled his black eyebrows and smoked his cigarette.
After he finished smoking his cigarette, he casually threw it into the trash bin. He raised his eyes again, and his gaze, which were as deep as an abyss, became cold and domineering.
He stared at Dorothy and slowly clasped her thin chin, “If Rosalie really died of the kidney rejection, would you be satisfied?”
“Of course I’d be satisfied with the death of a woman who spends her days thinking about taking my husband away.”
Dorothy was in so much pain that she did not dare to breathe hard. However, a smile appeared on her pale face, “Credence, why did you come to me so quickly to settle scores with me? Is it because my dear sister is going to die soon?”
“If Rosalie is dead, would you still be alive now?”
The man, silhouetted by the yellowish lamplight and wrapped in a black shirt and pants, sneered. Dorothy trembled slightly because of the chill from his body.
“Alas, good people perish early yet evil ones prevail unjustly. Credence, you can rest assured. My pretentious younger sister will not die so easily!”
“Rosalie is your younger sister, and the Fisher family has never mistreated you. Why are you so cruel to her?”
Credence gazed at Dorothy’s face with a mocking expression. He felt that this woman, who had once been crazy for him, had changed. She had become indifferent to everything and lost her vitality.
She had done so many evil things, but she still looked innocent. Sometimes, he really wanted to dig out her heart to see what color it was.
Dorothy endured the pain spreading from her chin and gave a wry smile. “Yes, I’m a cruel woman. If you can’t accept it, you should divorce me immediately and marry the kind woman you like! Four years have passed, and you did not grab the opportunity I gave you!”
“Credence, I’ve told you, even if you’re willing to let me go now, I’m not going to divorce you. As for the reason why I’m so persistent, I’ve already told you, so I’m not going to repeat it anymore.”
“I’ve said it before. You can marry Rosalie only over my dead body!”
As he heard that Dorothy would rather die than divorce him, although she was kicking up a fuss to separate Rosalie from himself, the anger in Credence’s heart inexplicably dissipated.
As the anger dissipated, Credence, a man who had not had his desires satisfied for many days, could not help but stare at Dorothy’s fair neck, and her skin that was bare beneath her open neckline…
All his dissatisfaction and anger dissipated. With a man’s impulse, he covered her soft breasts with one hand and lowered his head to kiss her soft lips.
“Oh!”
Dorothy gasped in pain. Fear was written on her face, “Credence, don’t mess around.”
“Mess around? Dorothy, I should have messed around with you a long time ago!”
Credence stood up straight like a pine tree as he pressed down on her. He clutched her chin as if he had lost all reasoning, and forced her to part her slightly pale lips. He suddenly remembered that she was having a high fever and that her weak body would definitely not be able to withstand his penetration.
He cursed softly and bit hard on her fair neck.
Dorothy groaned in pain. She thought that Credence would not let her go this time, but she suddenly lost her balance and fell on the soft bed.
Just as she was in a daze, his slender and tall body pressed down next to her, and her soft waist was firmly wrapped by a pair of powerful arms.
“Sleep with me for a while!”
Credence took a deep breath, but his indifferent tone was filled with a strong persuasion that could not be refused.
Dorothy could not move. Helplessly, she had to yield under the his strength. Her eyes stared at his handsome and perfect side profile, whereas her heart was in a turmoil.
At the same time, in Rosalie’s ward, many aggressive strangers suddenly rushed in, and among them were many reporters with microphones and cameras on their shoulders.
“Miss Rosalie, you had an affair with your brother-in-law behind your sister’s back. Do you feel good about it?”
“You’re a noble young lady. How could you secretly hook up with your brother-in-law? You really are a shameless woman!”
“That’s right. You really have no sense of shame at all. If I have a sister like you, I would have dragged her out and beaten her to death.”
Rosalie instantly started trembling in anger and shrieked, “You’re slandering me! Which newspaper journalists are you? Who paid you to slander me? Get out of here!”
A reporter sneered, “Oh, you’re asking us to get out? I think, Miss Fisher, you must be feeling guilty! There are thousands of beautiful women in Talco City but why aren’t they talking about other women? Instead, the hottest topic is about how you hooked up with your brother-in-law. In my opinion, if you did not do such a shameful thing, you would not have been caught red-handed and have it posted on the Internet.”
“That’s right! Such a shameless woman like you should do the world a favor and die!”
Rosalie was so mad she screamed hysterically, “Get out! All of you get out of here now!”
The noise attracted a large number of onlookers. Soon, many onlookers cast their gaze of disgust on Rosalie, gossiping amongst themselves and pointing their fingers at her.
Someone took the lead and threw a half-eaten bun at Rosalie’s face. Soon, as if she had stepped on everyone’s nerve, the onlookers threw newspapers, soup, and half-eaten apples at Rosalie!
In a short while, Rosalie’s body was covered with all sorts of unpleasant scents. She fell onto the ground with her eyes red and looking pitiful.
After a long while, the reporters and the onlookers were finally satisfied. They turned around and left the ward.
Rosalie stretched out her hand to wipe away the unpleasant stains on her face. Then, she raised her head and smiled sinisterly.
