Chapter 40
Vince hesitated for a few seconds before firmly turning Sierra down. He said, “Sierra, sorry, but not today. I promised Amelia I’d have dinner with her, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to stand her up at the last minute.
You know she was mad yesterday because of what you said. If I stay here with you, she’ll overthink it. I don’t want to upset her.
“You’re an adult, and you have to pay for the decisions you make. I’ve already taken care of the trouble you caused last time. If you mess up again, I won’t help you. You have to face the consequences all by yourself
Sierra froze.
It was the first time Vince had spoken harshly to her, and the aloofness and indifference in his tone stunned her
Since when had he been so close to Amelia!
She had no idea. It caught her off guard completely.
She gave a wry smile mixed with disappointment and heartache. “Vince, if you insist on leaving. I won’t cooperate with the stitching Just wait to see me get disfigured.”
Vince ignored her tantrum and walked straight out of the ward.
Just then, his phone rang. It was a message from Amelia: Sorry. Something came up, and I need to take care of it. I won’t be able to meet you tonight.]
What a coincidence
He slowly texted her back: [OK]
Meanwhile, Sierra was causing a scene in the ward.
She had a short fuse and was now stubbornly refusing to let them treat her wound.
The staff, who had been waiting outside for a long time already, were all anxious.
Vince
returned to
ed to the ward. “Let’s go. Cooperate with the doctor and get your wound stitched up.”
Only then did Sierra nod. She was taken into the operating room, where she was given anesthesia and had her wound stitched up. Afterward, she was put on an IV drip for two bags of fluid.
The whole process didn’t take long, and the news of her injury had already gone out.
Rumors spread, and it was said that she fell off a wire and was paralyzed.
Vince and Cody worked all night to deal with the rumors.
In the blink of an eye, night fell
Vince was working overtime at the hospital. Sierra looked at his focused and handsome profile in a daze.
She thought, ‘How long have we known each other? It’s more than ten years already, it’s almost twenty years
“From a certain point on, our fates have been bound together. I’ve always thought that years of companionship means love, and I’m the one and only for him.
“But the moment Amelia showed up, everything changed.
It makes no sense. She has no right”
She took a deep breath and said softly, “Vince, I heard that there is a very famous scar removal expert in Shanborough. Let’s go there.
Vince replied casually, “I don’t know if I have time.”
“I won’t take long, we’ll just go for three days,” she said while thinking. Three days should be enough. By then, everything should be taken care of
Amelia was in the damp and cold room.
Chapter 10
Her lips were pale, and her stomach began to growl.
She was so starving and didn’t know what time it was.
It was damp and cold in the room, but her forehead began to sweat, and she felt her body burning up; she was tormented by the stark contrast,
Suddenly, the door was pushed open with a loud bang.
After such a long time, the room was finally lit up again. Theo came in with a flashlight in his hand, aiming at Amelia,
The strong light made her instinctively cover her eyes, which amused Theo. He wanted to laugh.
“Amelia, I know what you’re thinking. You must be wondering why Vince hasn’t come to rescue you yet, right?” he said.
She looked at him, saying nothing.
He continued, “We’re still going through paper works, and you can’t wait to fool around with another man. Have some shame.
Unable to bear it any longer, she snorted, “You’ve been cheating on me for more than half of our three years of marriage. You even got Ivy pregnant before we filed the petition with the family court. Have some shame? You should have some shame”
Theo nodded repeatedly. “See? Just like this. I hate it when you’re being so eloquent?
Her face stung his eyes, he felt his whole body burning with rage
Just half a month ago, he was still the sought–after general manager.
Yet overnight, with the change in equity and his reputation in ruins, he became the laughingstock of everyone.
Little did he know that he’d be the pathetic loser in his divorce battle with her.
Who should be blamed!
He blamed Sierra for using her fame to expose his scandals.
And he blamed the nosy netizens for digging up his identity and impacting the Eponix Group’s business.
And he blamed Amelia the most for her exorbitant demands, seizing his shares in the company.
And then there was Ryder, returning to the country at this very moment attracting the attention of everyone in the family, no one cared about him
anymore.
He blamed everyone and everything, thinking that fate was so cruel and unitair to him, never once blaming himself,
He hated everyone, but he didn’t dare to mess with anyone. The only one he dared to torture was Amelia.
As he thought about it, his smile became more and more obscene, and his eyes flickered,
Then he stepped forward and grabbed her collar, tearing it open.
Her coat was pulled open, and underneath was a one–shoulder dress that revealed Amelia’s slender but sexy figure.
She was undoubtedly stunning; immediately, Theo’s eyes lit up, his blood rushing to his head. His heart skipped a brat before starting to beat wildly.
