Chapter 403

Chapter 403

“Whatever, I don't love you, either. Had you agreed to the divorce, I would have been married toArnold and back in Goldstone, living my happy life by now. You ruined my happiness, so don't youdare expect me to fulfill yours. Let's rot together in this hell!” She spat out the words as if daringhim to react, her resentment bubbling like a raging river.

A sharp pain pierced through Leopold's gaze as every word she uttered was a blade, slashingmercilessly at his heart, leaving him wounded and cold.

He knew her heart always belonged to Arnold, and he was merely a footnote in her life.

If Arnold wasn't married, she wouldn't be bearing such resentment against him.

After all, where else could hate possibly stem from if there was no love?

"You refused to divorce because Arnold isn't divorced either, right?”

"You've been competing with Arnold since you were kids, and you've always been one step ahead,except in front of your father.” Aurelia turned to look at him, her eyes filled with resentment. “Sadly,I'm not a trophy you can win. You may have claimed me as your own, but you'll never own my heart.In my eyes, Arnold is a thousand, no, a million times. better than you. You'll never measure up.” Shespat out the harshest words, venting the bitterness in her heart.

She despised him, his betrayal, his deception, and his sudden coldness. If their marriage has turnedinto a grave, let them be trapped inside together. No one could get out, and no outsider could getin. Sacrificing her happiness could at least secure their child's future.

After all, he had ruined her life and her love.

A sharp and intense pain radiated from Leopold's chest, forcing him to grit his teeth and

endure.

A wave of fear swept over him. He had just managed to bridge their relationship a little, but theywere not only back to square one, but also at an all-time low.

He was afraid she might do something irrational that would leave him no chance to make amends.By the time everything was over, they could never go back.

Her actions always surpassed his expectations, leaving him unable to predict.

For a moment, he wanted to tell her the truth. But the words were stuck in his throat and thought inhis heart, “What if she refuses her treatment? What if she seeks revenge from Megan secretly andfalls into the enemy's trap? She’s a woman who doesn't like to be threatened by anyone, or shewouldn't have jumped into the sea with a bomb three years #go

He couldn't bet on her life. He needed her to live healthily, even if it meant becoming the pergonshe despised the most

He took a deep breath, forcing his voice colder than he intended. “You should know your place.Picking up a fight with me is like an egg smashing against a rock. If you don't want to embarrassyourself, just sign the divorce papers.” With that, he turned and hurriedly left. He couldn't stay asecond longer for fear of losing control.

A single tear slipped from Aurelia’s eye, and only when he was gone did her tears dare to fall

She hated Leopold because she had loved him. The deeper the love was, the deeper the

hate was.

But she would never let him know because he was not worth it, not worth her emotions.

Leopold stormed into his room, heading straight for the bar.

He grabbed a bottle of whiskey, ready to drown his sorrows.

His heart ached, threatening to burst. He needed the numbness of alcohol to ease the pain.

But just as he was about to drink, he stopped.

He couldn't drink. He had to stay sober and stay in control. He had much to do.

This time, he had not only to save his wife but also to root out all the bad guys hiding in theshadows. He had to cut off all future troubles once and for all.
