660 A Final Warning
Every stage of life brings a different state of mind. With her mind cleared, she slowly raised her face and met his gaze with rare honesty. “Victor, I wish you happiness too. I have to go now.”
I wish him happiness… The bitterness spreading through Victor’s chest made it almost impossible to breathe. It seems happiness is impossible for me in this life.
He couldn’t help but want to stay with her longer, to look at her a few more times, but what right did someone as despicable and dirty as he have? In the end, he nodded faintly, like a walking dead man, watching her car slowly disappear around the distant corner.
Victor stood rooted to the spot for a long, long time, as if his soul had been ripped away, before slowly turning and heading back toward the Luke family manor.
The moment the Luke family manor gate closed, Marilyn emerged from the nearby shadows like a rat from a gutter.
She had been terrified when Victor stopped Adeline’s car, fearing Adeline would tell him she was the woman from that night and that the baby was his. Fortunately, Adeline hadn’t told him the truth.
But she could tell he was developing feelings for Adeline. The fact that Adeline was pregnant with his child felt like a splinter lodged deep in her heart.
Until that bastard was gone, she wouldn’t have a moment’s peace. She couldn’t tolerate a low–born adopted daughter coveting her man, nor could she tolerate a low–caste bastard attempting to steal her child’s place as the Luke family heir.
That’s right. She would call Norman now! She hurried to a nearby corner and dialed Norman’s number.
Norman looked down on women like Marilyn, but since neither of them wanted Adeline and Victor to be together, they had exchanged contact information.
Marilyn called four times before Norman finally answered, his voice clearly bored. “Marilyn, what do you want?”
Marilyn sensed Norman’s impatience and coldness. Norman was handsome, tall, and refined, and with his good family background, he was considered an outstanding young talent by many.
She had once thought about pursuing him, but he had never spared her a glance. When she had thrown herself at him, he had simply ordered his men to toss her out
Thinking of how contemptuous he was toward her, yet how madly obsessed he was with Adeline, only made her hate Adeline more.
Norman was so possessive. When he found out Adeline was pregnant, he would surely not only brutally get rid of the baby but also think she was tainted and torment her severely! I can’t wait to see the horrific state of Adeline being tortured by that psychopath, Norman!
Thinking this, she didn’t waste any more time. “My cousin is pregnant,” she quickly said.
“What?” Norman’s pupils instantly contracted on the other end of the line. His knuckles turned white as he violently tightened his grip on the phone. “Who did you say is pregnant? Say that again!”
“My cousin Adeline is pregnant.”
Hearing the palpable rage and resentment in Norman’s voice, Marilyn couldn’t help but shiver. The brief moment of shock was followed by secret joy.
The angrier Norman got, the more brutally Adeline would be tormented. I hope the storm is as violent as possible!
She suppressed her excitement and continued, “If you don’t believe me, you can take her to the hospital to check. I’m not lying to you. I’m absolutely certain she is over a month pregnant!”
“Adeline, how dare you betray me like this? How dare you!” The obsessive desire in Norman’s voice was chilling. “Are you planning to keep that bastard? Since you took my money, you belong to me. I forbid you to cheat on me. Adeline, you’ve been naughty. I told you naughty girls get punished. Adeline, you will never leave me again, and I will absolutely not allow you to have a child with any other man!”
