Married to My Enemy's Blood novel Chapter 4

Ophelia opened the video.

The video clearly showed Augustus pulling her dress off.

Her reaction and his cruelty were all captured in detail.

Below, the comments were ruthless.

“Mrs. Reynolds always looks so conservative, always in black suits, but I didn’t expect her to be like this deep down.”

“Look at that body, that tiny waist, no wonder Mr. Reynolds married her.”

“My favorite part is her legs, so slim and straight, so fun to look at.”

“That chest… looks like a D cup.”

“Wow…”

The comments were disgusting.

Her phone rang.

Ophelia answered. It was Augustus’s cold voice.

“Ophelia, I won’t let anyone help you with those photos online. You only have one way, which is to use your money to buy them back, one by one.”

Ophelia also heard him say.

“You have to pay the price for hurting Kim. I have to give her uncle an answer!”

Then he hung up.

Ophelia took out her bank card with trembling fingers.

There was only 850,000 dollars in it. It was her salary from the Reynolds Group over the past five years.

Yes, salary.

She didn’t have company shares. All the dividends were with Augustus.

He had given her a black card.

Ophelia called a friend, gave him the 850,000 dollars and the black card, and asked him to buy back the photos and videos online one by one.

But the bloggers wanted very high prices.

Her money was only enough to buy back seven of them.

Her friend tried using the black card to buy them.

The first transaction worked fine.

But when it came to the second transaction, the card was frozen.

“Ophelia, the card’s frozen, so I can’t pay. They won’t accept it. You’ll need a few million dollars to get all the videos removed from the bloggers‘ accounts.”

Ophelia looked at the black card.

Augustus had given it to her on the day the company went public.

He said, “Lia, this card has no limit. I hope you never lack money. I’ll provide for you.”

Tears blurred her eyes. She let them fall on the card.

For five years, she had lived in the company and barely spent anything.

The company paid her salary, so she had never used the card.

She only used the card once. And she was only allowed to use the card once.

She thought of Kimberly.

Kimberly had taken Augustus’s secondary card to shop everywhere.

Later, Augustus got annoyed that she always ran around and complained that her feet hurt every time she got tired.

So he told all the luxury brands to deliver new releases once a month. Kimberly could pick anything she wanted, spending money like crazy.

Her phone beeped. Augustus’s message appeared.

“You’re not allowed to use my money to buy back photos, Ophelia. Even if you sell yourself, I won’t give you a dime.”

Ophelia wiped her tears.

“Help me sell that patent. Use the money to buy back the photos and videos.”

Her friend was shocked. “Ophelia, you’re crazy. You spent ten years researching that. No way. I’ll help you, I promise I’ll help you.”

She took out all her savings and even sold three houses under her name, just to buy out all the original photos and videos.

For the reposts, she had them taken down from the internet for Ophelia.

Seeing all the photos cleared, Ophelia remembered her friend’s words.

“Ophelia, I know you spent ten years researching and developing it. Don’t sell it cheaply. It just needs a bit of polishing. When the world sees it, it’ll benefit everyone. It’s worth more than a few billion dollars. Just remember to give me 15 million dollars as my share.”

Her friend’s teasing was vivid in her mind, but she also remembered Augustus’s ruthless cruelty.

She realized that over the past ten years, her biggest mistake was wasting all her time on Augustus. She regretted loving him.

Ophelia returned to the villa.

As soon as she stepped in, she heard Julian crying.

She rushed inside.

She saw Kimberly’s smug face as she slapped Julian.

Instinctively, Ophelia ran forward, grabbed Kimberly’s hand, and slapped her twice.

Ophelia held her son tight in her arms.

But Kimberly’s cries were filled with despair.

“Augustus, Augustus…”

Augustus came down from the stairs.

Kimberly immediately threw herself into his arms.

Seeing the slap marks on Kimberly’s face, Augustus’s eyes filled with murderous intent.

Kimberly cried, “It’s not Ms. Flynn’s fault. She misunderstood me. Jules was playing with blocks, and Ms. Flynn got angry when she came back and slapped Jules’s face, saying he looks too much like you. I stopped her. I didn’t want her to hit Jules, but she slapped me twice instead.”

Julian cried, “Daddy, Kimberly hit me. She hit me, and Mommy only hit her to protect me.”

Augustus said coldly, “Ophelia! You really hit Kimberly.”

Ophelia heard him ignore the point and focus on her hitting Kimberly.

“Augustus, look at Jules’s face. Do you think I’ve ever hit him since he was born?”

Panic showed on Kimberly’s face. She immediately grabbed her wrist, and the gauze was soaked through with blood.

Augustus’s eyes were full of worry.

“Kim, did your wound reopen?”

Kimberly nodded through her tears.

Then Augustus looked at Ophelia again, coldly. “Tobias, slap her ten times. Whatever Kimberly suffered, make Ophelia pay tenfold.”

Ophelia had no chance to resist.

Augustus’s assistant slapped her ten times, left and right. Her face hurt, and blood came out from the corners of her mouth.

She covered Julian’s eyes with her hands. He cried hysterically.

“Daddy, it’s not Mommy’s fault. That woman bullied me; Mommy protected me. I hate you. I hate you…”

She looked at her son, who was struggling in her arms.

She held him tightly, not letting him move.

Until she endured all ten slaps.

Julian cried as if his heart was breaking.

“Mommy, we don’t want Daddy anymore. We don’t want him. Jules only wants you.”

Augustus’s face changed drastically, furious. “Ophelia, this is how you’re teaching your son? He’s only five. You want him to deny me as his father? You’re the cruel one. Kimberly doesn’t know anything. Can’t you be kinder?”

Ophelia hugged Julian and tried to leave.

But Augustus ordered the bodyguards to stop them.

“Throw the two of them in the stables to reflect on their actions.”

They were locked in the stables.

Ophelia saw Kimberly’s smug expression.

She said silently, “Augustus is mine!”

But Ophelia knew she would never want Augustus again.

The night in the stables was cold, and her son suddenly ran a high fever in her arms.

Ophelia immediately tried to open the stable door.

But it was locked.

She called Augustus.

It was Kimberly who answered.

“Ophelia, enjoy your time in the stables. You want to compete with me? You see it yourself, Augustus won’t believe you. He loves me more. You’d better take Julian and get as far away as you can; otherwise, I’ll make life hard for both of you.”
