Book:Sucked By The Billonaire Published:2024-5-1

Phoenix saw Leslie cowering in the corner sullenly. He was worried about her.
“Leslie, what’s wrong with you? Although E&M is not a top company in its scale, the industry under his name is doing better than Loomis’ proficiently. This time, our buying E&M is enough to give the Loomis a heavy blow in this industry in the future. You are about to take revenge, aren’t you happy?”
“No. I did not feel unhappy. It’s just I am tired.”
Leslie smiled reluctantly and hid herself in a corner.
When people saw her and came over for a toast, she drank it with respect.
The hotel was bustling with activity, surrounded by luxurious and extravagant decorations. She had made a great performance.
But why she felt unhappy?
The hustle and bustle was all about other people. She was alone.
After Leslie drank an unknown number of bottles of wine, she made an excuse to go home.
She was afraid that she couldn’t hide her emotions. This would make Phoenix worry about her. In the past three years, Phoenix had taken good care of her all the time. She should not let him concern anymore.
She upstairs to her room and the maids were stunned by her thunderous appearance.
She went into the bathroom, turned on the faucet and patted her face with cold water.
The dizzy head cleared a little.
Seeing her haggard self inside the mirror, she had an urge to cry suddenly.
In the past three years, she had made a lot of achievements and made up several small companies.
Countless people complimented her and said she was a representative of the rise of women’s rights.
But nobody knew she missed her father and her baby who was not yet born so much.
She would think of her baby as soon as she saw babies.
If the baby was still alive now, he would be more than 2 years old. Maybe he would wear cute denim straps with little short legs and run into her arms.
The wound that Christopher gave her was fatal. Time could not erase easily.
Her heart was hurt so much. There was a deep hole in her heart and how can fill it easily?
She curled up herself like a shrimp on the ground. This was the only way she gave herself a little warm.
Phoenix heard Leslie’s cries outside the door. His palms tightened secretly.
He vowed in his heart to protect Leslie all her life and helped her punish that man!
The night is late. It was almost in winter.
Christopher was still wearing the same thin suit with two days ago, sitting alone in front of Leslie’s grave.
He called cases of wine every day. He just sat at her grave and drank the wine.
“Leslie, when we got married, I was such a jerk. I came home late deliberately every day, knowing you would wait for me at home. I was such a despicable villain.”
“When you were alive, I didn’t treat you well. But when you were gone, I found that I missed you so much. I was afraid this was God’s punishment for me.”
He was drank but he still confessed his love for her.
The cold tombstone resembled her cold body.
That night, if he hadn’t arranged her to work in the kitchen, she wouldn’t leave.
He said she was a murderer who killed people. But in the end he realized he was the one with blood on his hands.
He killed his baby and his wife. He also killed her teeny love for him.
He was the murderer, an uncompromising murderer!
If God could give him another chance, he vowed to make atonement for his sins.
“Leslie, you promised me that you would find me. To come back and get back at me.”
While drinking wine, he fell down in front of Leslie’s grave.
