“You have a bright future ahead of you, Della!
Why throw it all away now just because someone told you to? I know you're smarter than to let someone use you like this...” Joan continued, hitting the nail right on the head as she said that.
Clang!
Jake's face was twisted with rage as he smashed the glass of wine on the floor.
“What's wrong, Mr. Wilson?” His assistant came running over immediately.
“Nothing.”
Jake stood up slowly and grabbed his coat before leaving the hotel room.
Shut up, Joan! No one is using me!” Della shrieked at the top of her lungs.
She had lost all sense of rationality at that point.
“Wake up, Della! I know Jake way better than you do, so trust me when I say that you're nothing but a mere pawn to him!” Joan shouted back at her.
That's right... Jake had always been an exceptionally cruel man, both in the corporate world and in his personal life.
“Shut your Peking mouth, Joan! I won't believe you!” Delia's tone was terrifyingly cold.
“Ahhh!” Abelyn's scream came from outside all of a sudden.
The next thing Joan knew, Abelyn was being dragged into the cabin by the two men.
“You b*tch! That ought to teach you to mess with us!" The men said as they tossed her aside.
Despite being all bruised and battered, Abelyn still had a defiant look in her eyes. “You b*stards! How dare you hit me with those filthy hands of yours?”
“Oh? Haven't had enough, b*tch? You want some more?” One of the bodyguards began walking towards her angrily, but Della stopped him before he could reach her.
