"What's wrong? Are you trying to give me a lecture here?"
Howard knew better than anyone else that his present situation was owing to his affair with Alison at that time.
Coralie was indeed a commendable wife. He understood it clearly.
However, Coralie was still the wife of a rich person while he had become like that now. Originally, he thought that Skyton Corporation was going to close down, he didn't expect Skyton Corporation would be able to procure an investment and was developing gradually. He was even more annoyed.
"Howard, I'm not trying to lecture you. To be honest, I don't care about everything you've done. You'd better turn over a new leaf. You're a graduate from esteemed A University..."
"Stop it! Running your mouth is easy. I'm blacklisted by the public security, do I still have a chance to change? What do you want me to do? Moving bricks?"
Howard interrupted Coralie rudely when she was speaking.
Howard knew that even if he turned over a new leaf, his criminal records were already indelible in the system. Any HR would easily find it out.
At that time, Howard was very agitated, Coralie knew that he was about to hit her. At that time, Coralie prayed that a security guard or neighbor would come.
However, it was too late at night. No one passed by.
"Howard, if you're willing to, there are still a lot of opportunities. I'm serious, you can start everything again."
"Don't talk nonsense! I want money! Skylar's company is doing well now, don't you have money now?"
Howard had been beating around the bush. In the end, he still wanted money.
However, Coralie was not who she used to be. She shook her head and said, "Howard, Skylar and I had a divorce. With my background, it's impossible for me to be in a rich family. You know that."
When Coralie said that, she was hoping that Howard would let her go if he felt that she was miserable too.
However, when Howard heard that, he seemed to have thought of something. He grabbed her arm and smiled obscenely, "Is that so? Coralie, it means you're alone now, right? How about marrying me again and continue to serve me? What do you think?"
"Howard, we're over. You..."
"You're f**king looking down on me, aren't you? Do you think that you're different now that Skylar slept with you? Do you think I'm not worthy of you?"
Coralie realized perhaps Howard was not in his right mind as he had been having a hard time.
He would get easily triggered. He also seemed to be very sensitive. He would get agitated by just a few words.
"No, no..."
Coralie tried her best to placate him. At the same time, she was looking for an opportunity to escape.
"No? Let me tell you Coralie, you can only be with me. Who else would want you?"
Howard looked at Coralie's face, she had not changed much in the past two years, and he had not tasted a woman for several months. The last time he enjoyed himself was with Alison.
As he was thinking, his hands began to grow restless, his whole body had some reaction.
As soon as he let go of Coralie, she found the right timing, lifted her leg and then kicked him right in his crotch. She tried to escape while Howard was covering at his crotch.
But after a few steps, Howard caught up to her.
Fortunately, at that time, Coralie ran from the entrance of the corridor to the road of the community.
Howard knew that he couldn't drag Coralie away again. In a fit of anger, he began to beat and kick her like crazy. While he was beating her up, he cursed, "B*tch, you think you're strong now? You are a f**king jinx. Every man with you didn't end up good. Look at me, and then Skylar. He almost lost Skyton Corporation after marrying you!"
