It had been over 20 days since Dorothy had fallen into Talco River, but there was still no news of Dorothy. No one knew whether she was dead or alive.
The longer time flew by, the paler Credence’s face got as he slowly grew more and more upset.
During this time, he had learned from his new psychologist that the reason he had lost his memories was that someone had hypnotized and brainwashed him after he met with his accident and was in his weakest state.
Who else could have such ulterior motives apart from Rosalie?
Therefore, in his opinion, the truth had been concealed because of this.
Rosalie, who was the real scheming, vicious, and ruthless b*tch, had become the kind and gentle woman, while Dorothy had become the unscrupulous and slutty one.
Although he was invincible in the business world, he had still been tricked by a woman who was seven years younger than him.
He had truly underestimated Rosalie.
She looked obedient and gentle on the surface, but in truth, she was like a vicious Venus plant as her vicious heart was so terrifying and horrifying.
He sat behind the desk and narrowed his eyes slightly. His eyes were cold and sharp as he looked up at Benjamin and said, “Let’s make a trip to the hospital.”
“Yes, Mr. Scott.”
Benjamin knew that he wanted to go to the hospital to look for Rosalie and finish the matters that should have been dealt with a long time ago. Thus, he felt so excited that he almost jumped in joy.
He had long awaited for this day, the day to see Credence personally bring justice on Dorothy’s behalf. All this time, he had waited for a total of six years.
…
In a single luxury ward of the hospital.
After receiving Credence’s call, Jonathan waited in the corridor for a long time. He smoked a cigarette as he smiled, casting his eyes to the ward behind the door from time to time. He felt quite proud of himself.
For the past few days, Credence had been receiving hypnotherapy by another psychologist. He needed more than two hours of treatment every day, and Jonathan had accompanied him throughout the whole process.
Therefore, he knew each and every single one of Rosalie’s actions like the back of his hand.
He had initially reckoned that Credence had forgotten Rosalie’s past actions because of the car accident. No one had expected Rosalie to hire a doctor to hypnotize Credence instead. She was simply insane!
This time, seeing how Credence was finally going to deal with that scheming b*tch Rosalie himself, Jonathan felt immensely happy.
Another great show was about to play out and he was going to watch it no matter the circumstances.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a cold-faced man walking towards him from the door of the elevator. Jonathan hurriedly greeted him with a smile, “Credence, after receiving your call, I got myself ready immediately. I’ve arranged for everything and no one else will be here.”
Only he would be there to watch the show.
Credence knew that he liked to watch the fun in such things and could not be swatted away, thus he let him stay. He only gave Benjamin a meaningful look and ordered him to stay outside the ward to forbid anyone from coming or leaving.
Benjamin nodded, indicating that he had received his orders.
Seeing Jonathan following Credence into the ward, Benjamin grabbed the handle of the door, closed it, and then stood quietly by its side, not moving at all.
Credence went in and walked straight to the bed in the ward. He saw Rosalie leaning on the bed in a weak manner. She was probably a little weak, thus her posture was no longer elegant or noble.
When this pretentious woman’s elegant mask got taken off, she looked so vulgar and disgustingly inferior to Dorothy.
At that moment, Credence felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
This sensation was akin to seeing a table of scrumptious food yet when he was about to eat, he found a disgusting fly on the food, his appetite instantly lost.
As for him, he had been so blind as to let this disgusting fly stay by his side for so many years. Doing so must be his greatest failure in his entire life.
“Prude Rosalie, how have you slept these few days?”
“Did you have nightmares after doing so many bad things?”
“Did Dorothy come and find you to take her life back?”
Jonathan’s questions came one after another, and each harsher than the previous.
Rosalie suddenly turned her head and revealed a cold and ruthless expression. Upon seeing Credence there as well, she reverted her expressions to a gentle, soft, and fixed one. She could only squeeze out a twisted smile on her stiff face as she replied, “I’m sorry, Mr. Stanton. I have no idea what you are talking about.”
She turned her gentle gaze towards Credence and looked at him with tenderness. Breathing lightly, she said, “Credence, are you here to visit me?”
Her real colors had almost been exposed, yet she was still trying to act. How great!
Credence looked at the red-lipped woman coldly. This was the 21st day of Dorothy’s disappearance, and the first time he had talked to her.
“I’ve canceled our marriage unilaterally half a month ago. All fifteen companies under the Fisher Group have gone bankrupt under my strong suppression.”
He stared at her with his elongated eyes. Each word of his had been spoken as if he was spitting them out, each filled with thousands of knives, and they landed on Rosalie, cutting her deeply.
He said, “I’ve finished settling everything that the Fisher family owes to Dorothy. Now, it’s your turn!”
In Rosalie’s eyes, this seemingly unfamiliar, foreign and cruel Credence, looked even more terrifying than the devil.
She rubbed her left chest with her hand, no longer needing to manifest any emotions anymore. She cried as tears rolled down her cheeks. “Credence, are you still blaming me for what happened to Dorothy? If I had known that you loved Dorothy that much, I would have taken the initiative to jump off the bridge on her behalf.”
Rosalie sobbed as she spoke, ” You haven’t found Dorothy yet? Oh, no! I’ll go to the river right now and get her back. If I can’t find her, I’ll give up my life for her!”
She cried so pitifully that her tears fell like rainfall. Jonathan, who was standing beside her, watched the scene unfold with great interest.
Tsk tsk, what a great actress she was,, having the ability to cry at will. There wasn’t any need to rub onions on her eyes at all. No wonder she had been called a drama queen back in film school.
It was at that moment that Jonathan swore in his heart that all those women who came from famous movie and theatre institutes were sinister and could not be messed with.
Back then, Credence did not really like Rosalie’s seductive behavior and how clingy she was, but he did not harbor any dislike or hatred towards her. However, now that he knew her true colors, he only had hatred for her.
He curled his lips. One could not tell whether he was smiling or not, but his eyes gradually filled with frost, so cold that he could freeze one over.
“Rosalie, even at this point in time, you’re still pretending to be innocent. There’s really no point in doing this anymore.”
“Credence, what do you mean by pretending to be innocent? Why are you saying the same things as Mr. Stanton? I don’t understand you at all.”
Although she was trying to defend herself in a graceful way, her hands were gripping the sheets tightly instead. She was so anxious that she almost couldn’t breathe.
What had Credence found out?
Why did it seem like he had changed into a completely different person? He no longer hid his hatred towards her. Even if she turned blind, she could feel it.
Rosalie shakily got up from the hospital bed and walked towards Credence. She tried to hold his strong waist with her arms as she pleaded, “Credence, did I do something wrong? Tell me, I can change!”
“Ah!”
Rosalie screamed horrifyingly as she got kicked to the hard wall by the man. Upon landing on the ground, she slammed onto the foot of the bed, her forehead suddenly staining with crimson.
