Chapter 74: You are hopeless!
A loud scoff erupted from her throat within the next second and she looked up to meet his intense gaze and arched an eyebrow at him.
"She didn’t cheat on you? Yeah, right," she blurted out, the words that left her lips were dripping with sarcasm and poison. "Like I would believe, I’m not buying her bullshit. Only you would. Because you are blindly in love with her and your mind somehow forgets that she wronged you!" She snarled in her shrill voice as she clenched her jaws tightly.
"It’s the truth. And no I didn’t forget," he started, his face bore a serious expression as he recalled the times from 3 years ago when he would lock himself in his room and isolate himself from everyone else while forcing himself to work all day all night on his business simply to serve as a distraction. "But she told me that she was threatened by her mother who wanted to ruin my business and she didn’t have a choice," he explained, hoping that his mother would actually listen and give her another chance.
But all of that was for nothing as she stood her ground and remained stubborn.
"She told you and you believe her? You would believe every single word that comes out of her mouth but you wouldn’t believe a single word your own mother said," she stated, her voice carrying a sharp edge to it and her words reeked of bitterness. For some reason this made her hate Aurelia even more than she used to. She rose from the couch this time. "For all you know, she could be lying to you! Of course, she wouldn’t admit to actually cheating on you, especially since you are so rich and successful now."
"Of course I believe her. She’s my wife now and I know her, she isn’t that type of person. She wouldn’t lie to me."
"But you think I am that type of person, right?" She questioned, her features contorted into an angry expression as her eyes darkened. "You think I’m the bad person trying to ruin your marriage. You think that I am cunning and manipulative and selfish. You think that I’m a bad mother who deserves to die. Is that so?!"
"What are you..." his voice trailed off and he let out a huge sigh at the ridiculousness of his mother’s words and accusations. "I didn’t even say that," he said, his voice cold and distant.
"You don’t have to say it. It’s implied. I know you think about it."
