“Why are you so scared of me? There’s no need for that. I’m just here to see how you’re doing.”
The man who had come to visit her was Jeremy Sherman. He walked towards Rosalie who seemed to have gone insane from fear, bent over, and stared at her with his cold eyes.
Rosalie forced herself to remain calm. She tried her best to control her body from trembling, but she could not help but do so. “Since you’ve seen how unwell I’ve been, you may leave now. I’m obviously not in a good state.”
Whenever she stood in front of this ruthless man, she would feel a deep sense of humiliation, as if she was fully naked despite her wearing clothes.
She stretched her hand out to grab the bath towel. She tried to wrap herself in another layer to give her a stronger sense of security.
Jeremy used his hand to stop her and threw the bath towel on the floor. Then he squatted down and pulled open Rosalie’s loose prison uniform with his hands. His slender fingers fell on her back. He narrowed his eyes and gently caressed her as if he was fondling her and toying with her.
Uneven scars covered her body. Some were deep while others were lighter. All of them were his doings. After she recovered, the scars would turn into a faint pink color, which looked beautiful and extremely charming against her fair skin.
Such extremely ugly and hideous scars could also present such a beautiful scene.
Jeremy’s handsome face suddenly surged with a strong sense of joy. His blood was boiling hot, and the smile on his lips gradually turned cruel and distorted.
“How beautiful!”
“What a pity. I came in a hurry this time, thus I didn’t bring the needled whips with me.”
Every time he uttered a word, his fair fingers would rub against Rosalie’s scars, and sighs could be heard from his mouth too.
Rosalie felt as if her heart had been struck by a demon, and the pain she felt was unbearable, a type of stinging agony that was painful to the extreme. It was as if she had fallen into an endless dark abyss. No one could save her from this purgatory, no one apart from this terrifying demon in front of her.
She shivered, and finally cried with tears, “Jeremy, you’re such a pervert! If Germaine finds out that you’re a pretentious graceful gentleman by day and a devil from hell by night, she would never like you. You’re just a devil who likes to abuse women’s bodies!”
“No one would love a devil, no one!”
“Even if Germaine is willing to accept a devil like you, what about you? Would you dare to accept her love? Are you willing to drag her to hell with you?”
“Jeremy, you wouldn’t dare to do so. You’re not willing to do that! You are just a coward who wants to love, but you don’t have the guts. Not only do you not dare to do that, you’re even deliberately avoiding her.”
“You are a coward! Haha, you are just a coward when it comes to love.”
“Apart from venting your perverted resentment on me, do you think you have the guts to do the same towards Germaine?”
At this point, there was no way to avoid any more attacks and humiliation. Rosalie tried what she could, and she screamed, angrily venting all her anger. She shouted out the dark thoughts that had been buried in her heart all at once.
“Shut up, shut the hell up, I want you to shut up!”
Jeremy finally withdrew his touch, and there was finally a shift in his facial expression. He raised his hands and harshly slammed his entire hand on the woman’s face.
Rosalie let out a scream of misery as if she was a broken doll. She collapsed on the wet and cold corner of the bathroom, covering her face in pain. Soon, crimson liquid started to flow out from her lips.
However, how could this amount of pain count as anything compared to enduring an entire hour of pain with Jeremy?
She gently wiped the blood on the edge of her lips. With a poker face, she looked up and stared at the man with a cruel sneer, “What? Are you angry and ashamed because I exposed your true thoughts?”
“Yes, you’re right. I do like Germaine, but so what? Do I have to make her mine just because I like her? Rosalie, do you think I am like you, who has men as the center of her life, willing to die for him?”
Jeremy slowly lit a cigarette, and white smoke lingered in the air. His fair handsome face grew stranger and stranger, like a ghost, “The old man of the Scott family made me live like a ghost. I hate him, but it doesn’t mean that you can attack him, does it?”
“You used Dorothy’s contact with Credence to get that old man’s specific address in Monticello. After that, you secretly spent a lot of money to hire a killer to kill him. Did you really think that you could do everything seamlessly?”
“I’ve already told you that only I can take that old man’s life away!”
“As for you, Rosalie, who do you think you are, trying to assassinate him behind my back? Did you really think that you could win Credence’s heart just by driving Dorothy into a river?”
“What happened after that? Credence hates you now because he doesn’t know whether Dorothy is alive or not. After that, he even realized that someone had tampered with his memories, which was why he had lost them. With Credence’s abilities, it won’t take much effort for him to find out everything that you’ve done to him.”
“Therefore, it’s not a surprise that you got sent to prison by the man you love.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Rosalie was sweating all over. “Dorothy isn’t dead yet? I saw with my own eyes that she fell off the bridge and got swept away by the river. No, that’s impossible! That b*tch must be dead.”
Jeremy seemed to be refreshed by her question, and he smiled. He took out his phone from his pockets and clicked on a picture that he had saved for a long time. “Are you still dreaming? Dorothy was saved by a diver who was swimming in Talco River that night. She’s in a coma right now.”
A diver just happened to be at the scene?
How could there be such a coincidence?
Rosalie seemed to have realized something. She widened her eyes and shot Jeremy a convoluted look. “Y-you saved her, didn’t you? Wh-why would you do that?!”
“Didn’t we have an agreement that I would use my body as a bargaining chip? I would let you whip and burn my body, so long as you torture Dorothy for me. Why did you break our agreement? Tell me, why?”
“Naturally, I’m doing so because Dorothy is more useful than you as she’s able to stimulate Credence even more.”
Jeremy put away his phone and walked out slowly. The smile on his face gradually got colder and more distorted. “Rosalie, until now, don’t you understand that in Credence’s heart, you can never be compared to Dorothy, not even a sliver? He doesn’t even spare you another glance. If he really cares about you even a little, he would not have sent you to a male prison to be violated by these prisoners like a prostitute.”
“A woman that Credence doesn’t care about is useless to me, so why should I use you?”
He stood at the door of the bathroom, looked back and smiled sarcastically. “Here’s a friendly reminder that your parents are almost dead in the hospital. With no medical fees, the doctors have stopped their treatment. If you can find someone powerful enough to take you out of prison, perhaps you could see them one last time.”
After that, Jeremy turned around and left, as he sneered coldly.
Rosalie’s face was covered with tears as she screamed, “No, none of this is true! Jeremy, you’re a devil, a real devil. You must be lying to me, right?”
She stood up from the corner of the wall, her body cold and trembling. The depths of her eyes were burning with hatred.
No, she could not just accept this to be her fate!
There had to be another way to leave this hell, there had to be!
If there was anyone in this world who could save her from this purgatory she was in at the moment and let her meet her parents, she swore to the heavens that she would work her butt off to repay that person!
Dorothy, Credence, and Jeremy were the disgusting people who had bullied and humiliated her. She would never forgive any of them!
