This time, Quan Shaoze unexpectedly stopped and took me out of the basement back to the room.
Looking at the increasingly unconcerned expression on his face, I didn’t think it was because he had relented.
It was even less likely to be because of sympathy.
“All right, you’d better be more obedient in the future,” Quan Shaoze sneered and warned me after sorting out the data of the various tests done on me in the past few days.
I instinctively shuddered upon hearing his voice, but I didn’t answer him and just allowed the hatred to wreak havoc in my mind.
It was an indisputable fact that I hated Quan Shaoze.
But I didn’t fight it out with him on impulse like the previous times, because I was afraid of enraging him again.
I dared not think about the next revenge.
At this moment, Zhao Dong called again, bringing up the topic of divorce to me again after I had just been tortured by Quan Shaoze.
I had already completely given up no matter how unwilling I was to let go previously.
And I also knew that it was time to make a clean break no matter what kind of feelings I still had for him.
“Honey, just do as I say, we can get back together again in the future,” Zhao Dong continued, eager for my reply.
I suddenly felt extremely disgusted sensing the hypocrisy in his voice. I hung up the phone with a sneer, and tears rolled down my cheeks.
I tossed the phone aside with trembling hands and then clasped my arms around my knees, burying my head in them. My eyes were sore, but I could no longer shed a tear.
Lin Feng, is a man like Zhao Dong still worth you holding on to?
“Why are you demeaning yourself, you still don’t want to divorce after being treated like this?” Quan Shaoze mercilessly rubbed salt into my wound like always.
His sneering voice successfully got on my nerves, and I suddenly jumped out of bed as if I was crazy, glared at him, and roared that it had nothing to do with him.
But only I knew deep down inside that I was just putting up a strong front.
The sorrow in my heart was actually suffocating me.
I knew all of this.
I had innocently thought that Quan Shaoze was referring to Zhao Dong’s infidelity. However, when he taunted the real purpose of Zhao Dong marrying me was just so that I could be the scapegoat after he sold the company, I was stunned and couldn’t believe what he said.
And I didn’t believe it either.
“That’s enough! This has nothing to do with you!” I hit Quan Shaoze as though I was crazy. I didn’t want or have the courage to listen to him go on.
However, when Quan Shaoze played me the recording of Zhao Dong striking a deal with others to make me a scapegoat before marrying me, I was flabbergasted.
I suddenly felt as if my heart was stabbed by a knife, and the pain was excruciating.
I couldn’t feel my legs and I almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, I grabbed the chair next to me in time. I placed my hand over my chest as I grasped for air, and my tears were already falling uncontrollably.
Lin Feng, your life is pathetic beyond imagination.
The person whom you had loved for five years had been plotting against you, and your beloved brother had also left you.
Even your child’s father is someone who wants to take revenge on you!
Lin Feng, how pathetic you are.
But Quan Shaoze didn’t seem to care about how I felt. He had no intention of stopping; he continued to put evidence in front of me, telling me that Zhao Dong was also responsible for what had happened to our company this time, and that I was just a scapegoat.
I looked up in shock, my tears overflowing, blurring the figure of Quan Shaoze in my vision.
I stepped back in a daze, looking at Quan Shaoze in disbelief and muttering that this was impossible.
