A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 6

I got up from the ground but fell down again. I looked at my torn pants and arms, and blood was dripping from my forehead. Holding back tears, I limped out of Betty's villa.

This time, Edward must hate me so much. He must think that I was jealous of Betty and wanted to hurt their children.

"Cousin-in-law, why are you here? Are you injured?" I stood helplessly on the road and wanted to take a taxi, but there were few cars on New Year's Day.

When I was sitting on the bus stop deck bench to avoid the wind and snow, a car stopped in front of me. It was Richard Xi who got off the car. He was the son of the eldest uncle of Edward, who was two years younger than Edward.

He didn't spend the Spring Festival with us because our family property was divided up and we lived apart.

He was gentle and kind, without the arrogance of other family members. He was more approachable. If he was there, he might speak for me.

I touched my frozen face and avoided the sight of Richard, not wanting him to see my embarrassment.

"Get in the car first, I'll take you to the hospital."Richard got out of the car and came over. He glanced at the wound on my body and helped me get in the car. When I got in the car, I instantly felt much warmer. I sneezed and Richard immediately cover me with his coat.

I had never been so intimate with a man before, so I was at a loss for a moment.

In the end, under the insistence of Richard, I still put on his coat.

After arriving at the hospital, the doctor treated my wound. Richard asked me what happened.

I told all the things to Richard, then he was silent.

As far as I concerned, Richard would think that it was because I was jealous that Betty had a child of Edward then I deliberately pushed her down. I couldn't help but nervously explained, "Richard, I didn't... Believe me, I really didn't push Betty on purpose."

"I trust you."Richard raised his head, his handsome face was full of sincerity.

I stared blankly at Richard, tears rolling down my cheeks.

My husband didn't believe me, but Richard, an outsider, trusted me. It was really a very ironic thing.

"I'll drive you back first." Richard got up and said to me.

I nodded. When Richard was about to help me, I refused.

After all, I'm married. If I'm so close to him, I'll attract gossips. He's also very clear about it, so he didn't force me."

He drove me to the door of the villa and said that he would send me in. I didn't agree. If my mother-in-law saw me coming back with another man, we would cause trouble.

Although this person was still a man of the Xis, I didn't want him to get into this kind of trouble.

As soon as I entered the door, my mother-in-law rushed to me angrily and slapped me twice.

While slapping me, she cursed, "Ashley, I'm really disappointed in your family education. How can you do such a despicable thing? Why are you so cruel?"

"Aren't you very happy that Betty's child is gone? You are such a scheming woman."

Was Betty's child really gone?

I blankly looked at my mother- in- law and was scolded by her.

"Divorce Edward quickly. I don't want to see you in the villa anymore!" My mother-in-law was tired of scolding, so she went upstairs angrily.

I stood in the middle of the villa with a dispirited look, and the housekeeper looked at me mockingly.

This is life as the wife of a rich and powerful family.

My husband didn't care about me, my mother-in-law didn't like me.

When I returned to my room, I received a call from my mother.

My mother didn't know what happened. She just kept repeating it to me: If I were not to ask Edward to get ten million before tomorrow noon, or my brother's factory would be bankrupt and those employees would make troubles. I put down my phone desperately and didn't know what to do.

Edward must hate me for Betty's miscarriage. How could he give me ten million?

The next day, it was still snowing. I took a fruit basket with a wounded body to the hospital to see Betty. I also wanted to explain the whole thing to Edward.

I didn't want him to blame me for the rest of my life.

When I arrived, Edward was not here, Betty was drinking the soup with a pale face.
