Chapter 5
I said what I needed to say.
The expressions of the people around him changed instantly.
Then, there was a burst of laughter.
“Hahaha, Mr. Walsh, what is this crazy woman talking about? She is Mrs. Efron? Then I am still the richest man in the world! You sure she’s not insane?”
“That’s what you call being stupid! Everyone knows that Mrs. Efron is a beauty like no other. How dare a garbage–collecting beggar like her dare to make such claims?”
“That’s right. Besides, the Efron family only has one son. This little loser she brought with her is not even qualified to be a servant for James.”
Amidst the laughter, Derek suddenly pulled me up from the ground.
“Claire, you lie without thinking things through! James is a person who stands at the top of the pyramid. You’re saying that he would pick you, a hand–me–down that I’ve gotten tired of?”
Derek’s eyes were full of contempt, looking at me as if I were dirty trash.
“I was thinking that if you would sincerely admit your mistake, I could give you another chance to be with me. I didn’t expect a harlot like you to even try to go after Mr. Efron. Claire, you are as rotten as garbage, and there is no cure for you!”
As he spoke, Derek picked up a marine waste recycling bin next to him and dumped it over me.

The stench filled the air. I held my chest and retched uncontrollably.
Those who were in charge held their noses and cheered.
“Splendid, Mr. Walsh. That’s how you deal with a trashy woman like
her.
A man stood up and suggested something.
“Mr. Walsh, it’s rumored that Mr. Efron dotes on his wife like his ultimate treasure. If he knew someone was pretending to be his wife, he would definitely not let it slide. I know there’s a cold storage nearby. Throw this woman in there. We’ll wait for Mr. Efron to show up and hand her over to him. Then, our deal with Mr. Efron will be considered sealed.”
Looking at their ugly faces, hatred surged in my
heart.
Derek stared at me with disappointment on his face.
“Claire, I’ll give you a chance to admit your mistake. As long as you bow to Tiffany and admit your mistake now, I’ll let you go. Otherwise…”
“In your dreams!”
Seeing that I was so stubborn, Derek’s expression turned completely cold.
With just one look from him, several strong men immediately tied my hands and feet tightly. They then threw me into the cold storage.
The temperature in that cold storage was below ten degrees Celsius. My whole body was soon covered with frost.
The desire to survive made me scratch at the door feverously, and the skin on my fingertips was peeled off, revealing bloody, tender flesh beneath.
My daughter, who was outside the door, shouted for me heartbreakingly,

but Tiffany slapped her hard on both her cheeks.
“Who are you calling mom? I’m your mom from now on, you little animal!”
Seeing that she was still crying, Tiffany stuffed a dirty and smelly rag into her mouth.
Suddenly, the roar of an engine came from afar. A black Maybach stopped not far away.
A pair of long, straight legs stepped out of the car. The high–end custom- made suit outlined the man’s cool figure.
And in his arms, he was holding a delicate and pretty boy.
In the last second before my consciousness faded, I heard someone yelling flatteringly.
“Mr. Efron and his son are here!”
