She cried and reached out to grab my pant leg. I didn’t want her to touch me, so I stepped back without thinking. Suddenly, Emily screamed and fell backward.
There were many steps at the entrance of the Ford mansion. She rolled all the way to the bottom.
Bryan stood beside Richard and cried out, “Mom!”
The kid tried to run toward her, but Richard stopped him. Even without his memory, Richard still had the cold pride of a powerful man.
He looked at me with disgust and asked, “Harriet, when did you become so cruel?”
Then, Richard walked down and picked up Emily himself. She looked very thin and weak. Not to mention, her forehead was also bleeding.
Blood covered Richard’s suit, but he didn’t mind.
“How do you feel?” he asked gently.
“Don’t be afraid. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Emily clung tightly to his shirt, her voice soft and pale as she said, “Richard, don’t blame Harriet. She did everything for your sake … and to protect the Ford Family’s name. I know I’m not worthy of you. I’m not good enough to marry into the Ford Family … ”
“I’ve accepted it for ten years. Harriet can punish me if she wants to … ”
Richard held her closer and said softly, “Don’t say that. I understand everything now. Don’t worry, I won’t let you suffer ten years of pain for nothing.”
After that, he picked her up in his arms and looked back at me.
“Harriet, I will settle the past ten years with you!”
Bryan saw them leaving and quickly ran after them. The driver rushed over to open the car door. Richard carried Emily into the car and Bryan got in with them.
They looked like a perfect family of three.
As the car drove away, I slowly looked away. When I turned around, the cold wind blew hard, cutting into my skin. Ten years had passed, but like a leaf falling from a tree, it left no trace behind.
The servants whispered behind me.
“She’s been his wife for ten years and still haven’t had a child. Isn’t that just taking up space without doing anything?”
“Shh! Don’t let Mrs. Ford hear you!”
I ignored them, walked upstairs and called my lawyer.
“Please write a divorce agreement between Mr. Ford and me.”
“As for the property, I won’t give up a single cent.”
The lawyer sounded a bit hesitant as he said from the other end, “Everything else is easy to arrange. But the airport in the northern suburbs, that’s what Mr. Ford planned to give you as a gift for your tenth wedding anniversary. It’s almost ready to open.”
