I looked at her, as if I saw her for the first time. I was the one who picked her up from the trash, taught her self-defense and sent her to study in Canada. It was just that she and Bennett happened to attend the same school.
At that time, she even called me and said, “Nolan, I have a chance to get close to him and earn his trust... I’ll help you get revenge in the future.”
After she came back to the U.S., I made her general manager without hesitation, giving her all my trust.
But she became closer to Bennett, always using “cooperation” and “business” as excuses.
She put super glue in my water, making me need an emergency stomach wash. I called her ninety-nine times from the hospital, only to see her Instagram Story showing her having afternoon coffee with Bennett.
The night before an important meeting, she burned my computer and tricked me into falling down the stairs, almost causing worse injuries.
We agreed to get our marriage certificate, but she kept missing the date. The last time, she came late without a single word of explanation.
She never gave me a proper wedding, always saying she didn’t want it to be too showy. Each time, she said it was to earn Bennett’s full trust for my revenge plan.
I never knew she and Bennett were already trapped in secret and forbidden feelings.
After marriage, she never let me get close. I thought she wore those chastity pants because she felt insecure from her childhood trauma, a kind of self-protection that made me feel sorry for her.
Yet, it turned out the girl who once promised to be strong and stay with me forever had already become a stranger.
She knew better than anyone that my legs were broken by someone sent by Bennett’s father.
Only after I fought hard to stand again, step by step and became strong enough to challenge the Bradford Family, did they start to fear me.
My heart slowly became cold as I lifted my head and looked around the banquet. All the sons from big families and the skilled people I had trained myself were laughing happily, as if my disability was a funny joke.
Just then, Bennett shouted with a playful smile, "Nolan, it's your turn! Truth or dare?"
I looked at him calmly and slowly stood up. "Of course, I'll choose neither."
Before I finished speaking, I raised my hand and slapped Bennett hard!
Everyone was shocked. Bennett covered his face and looked at me in disbelief.
