Chapter 1038 - 534: Extra: Confession 2_2
All along, her father had always listened to her brother, so in the end, she went to that charity banquet, and it was there that she met Howard Geoffrey."You mean..."
"You still don’t understand, even now? To me, you have always been nothing more than a pawn to be used. You thought you were commanding me, but in reality, you’ve been under my control all along..."
"Why?"
"I wanted you to be infatuated with Howard Geoffrey. That way, when I need to deal with him, I have another piece to play."
"A pawn?" she asked, trembling, her mind blank.
"It turns out your charm is just that—despite all your efforts to get into Howard Geoffrey’s bed, he didn’t want you. That was beyond my expectations. Yet your shameless persistence was truly impressive... So, when all the disgraceful things you’ve done in the past lay bare in my mind, your so-called ’affection’ becomes a cheap joke to me."
His cruel conclusion.
Her heart shattered, everything laid out before her.
Turns out, he had never been serious about her kindness...
In the past, he was merely guiding her to become his pawn.
No wonder she would meet Howard Geoffrey, no wonder he would always help her pursue Howard Geoffrey...
All the care he showed her was merely an illusion, a dream.
"That night..." she choked as she asked, "That night you drank too much... were you sober?"
He understood that she was talking about eight years ago, that night.
That night, he took her virginity...
He was drunk, and she went to take care of him...
In his daze, he mistook her for one of his companions, and she didn’t resist, didn’t have the strength to resist... because back then, she had liked him so much.
His cold gaze already gave her the answer.
"So, that night you weren’t drunk at all..." she murmured, lowering her head.
He had always been using her, never feeling remorse.
For so many years, his kindness was merely because he could develop her as a pawn, not because he wanted to compensate her for having hurt her.
"You blame yourself for being so eager... a woman full of charm, how could she be inexperienced in romance? As your educator in this regard, I had to teach you—but you are so adept at playing the game of retreat and pursuit, always needing me to guide you. In this respect, it contradicts your nature."
Her nature...
Alice Robinson stared at him, tears slowly sliding down from the corners of her eyes along her cheeks.
He would never know, waking up beside him the next day, even though she felt terrible, she didn’t feel wronged in her heart...
Did he know how much she liked him at that time...
But suddenly one day, she accidentally saw the diary he wrote...
Only then did she realize that his kindness to her was because of that ’smiley face’ she drew, and deep down he was always hiding someone...
At that time, she felt disappointed and discouraged, but she never told him she liked him.
She forced herself to relinquish her feelings for him and knew that he would never stay with the Robinson family forever, so she allowed herself to fall for someone else...
She invested herself completely, infatuated with the man every woman fantasized about, exhausting every means, giving it her all...
She no longer got close to him, increased the distance between them, disliked his touch...
She let herself fully fall for another person.
These...
He didn’t know, because all this was hidden deep in her heart.
"You are still smart enough to know to find a big tree to cling to when you’re unsupported..."
He mocked sarcastically.
Her heart felt icy cold, her blood lost warmth.
At this moment, she no longer wanted to stay before him for another second...
She covered her mouth, turned to escape from his sight...
"Since you’re here, why rush to leave?"
He grabbed her arm, the force nearly breaking her slender frame, "Weren’t you wanting to develop something with me? Then please me, let me see whether tonight you have the ability to make me keep you here."
"No..."
She struggled fiercely, yet could not compete with his masculine strength.
He was like a beast, pressing her against the desk, roughly restraining her hands.
"Don’t... I beg you..."
Tears of grievance streamed down, she desperately pleaded with him.
He sneered, "Weren’t you saying you ’liked’ me, wanted to develop something with me?"
She bit her lip, tears dropped one by one down her cheeks, overwhelmed by a bitter sorrow...
His eyes were dark, as deep as a black hole.
"If you’re not brave enough, don’t play such games; maybe what you lose won’t just be your body, but also your already meager dignity."
He said these words and released her, a contemptuous smile hung at the corner of his mouth.
She looked at the disdain at the corner of his mouth, memories of his kindness over the years replaying over and over in her mind...
Suddenly, these images shattered in her mind like glass, the shards piercing sharply into her heart, causing her silent pain...
He straightened his clothes and pressed the communication button on the desk.
"Mr. Robinson."
"Bring Keith Antony in."
"Yes."
When Keith Antony came in, she only had time to hastily adjust her disheveled clothes, the traces of tears still on her face.
"Boss."
Keith Antony entered after knocking, inadvertently seeing her.
Keith Antony frowned, bowed and stepped forward, "Boss..."
"Order the lawyers sent to France to stop handling Alice Robinson’s case, call them all back."
Upon hearing this, Keith Antony was shocked, "Boss, this..."
"Didn’t you hear what I said?" Chester Robinson’s face fell, its lividness indicating his current anger.
"But boss..."
"I haven’t accounted for what you owe me yet."
Chester Robinson’s eyes turned cold; Keith Antony dared not speak further.
"Calling back the lawyers..." Alice Robinson’s heart twisted with pain, knowing she shouldn’t be weak, "You want to call back the lawyers?" She heard herself speak in a fragile voice, as if pleading.
"You can’t call them back..."
Chester Robinson sneered, surveying her with a chilling gaze, "Perhaps I’ve been too lenient... It’s time to wake you from this perfect world."
