I shot the man a cold Ipok, and he immediately shut up. He didn’t want any trouble.
Raine kept crying at my feet. “Please, leave Bruno to me! I’ll do whatever you want, I’ll pay you! Just leave him!”
When I saw her like this, I didn’t bother with her one–man show anymore and said bluntly, “You and Bruno already got my family’s company. What more do you want?”
The two of them plotted against me, deceived me, and still called me a homewrecker What were they even thinking?
Hearing this, the onlookers‘ gazes only grew more inquisitive
There was more to the story!
But the race was heating up, so people stopped looking over here
Raine let out a bitter laugh “What more do I want? Sometimes I just want to kill you, you know? You were born as an heiress,
and I had nothing Now, you want to take the only thing I have left. Do you know how much I hate you?*
I stared at her, not sure what she wanted to accomplish by spilling her heart like this. As for hating me, why? I didn’t do anything to her from the very beginning Shouldn’t she be mad at the man who let her down?
I feel like I need to remind her “Isn’t the reason Bruno still hasn’t married you because of his reputation?”

It was a simple question, but Raine thought I was being sarcastic
“That’s right! Are you proud of yourself? Are you happy knowing Bruno will only marry you? After all, you love him enough to make way for him.”
Raine conveniently ignored that I had sold my shares and transferred all my money abroad in her anger. If I still had hope for
Bruno, why would I do that?
But she came up with her own explanation, anyway.
“You just want to use your shares to control him! Now, you don’t even need the money, and he’ll still marry you. In that case,
let me guess what you’re planning to use the money for next.”
Raine lowered her eyes as they darkened. Then, she let out an icy laugh.
“You probably want to use the money to make Bruno cut ties with me! But I’m telling you right now–dream on!”
At her words, I paused for a moment. Why would anyone still like such a despicable man? No wonder people online say jerks
and gold–diggers were made for each other.
Well, I had no desire to waste any more time with someone like her.
Thankfully, the race was over.
I saw Liam running toward me, excited to share the joy of winning third place. From the corner
and lunge at me despite her pregnant belly.
of my
eye,
I saw Raine get up
My eyes widened as my mind went into overdrive.
How should I survive this set–up?
If I dodged to the side, Raine would definitely fall to the ground because of inertia.
If I didn’t dodge, Raine would twist it by mentioning how serious her injuries were. In short, turning it into a scam!
A scam that disregarded the baby’s safety!
As all the thoughts played in my mind, everything happened in an instant.
Suddenly, I was yanked out of the way by a powerful arm and ended up in Liam’s embrace. He glared at Raine, who was lying
on the ground.
“What are you doing? Are you trying to pull something on her?”
Before he could say more, a hysterical wail pierced our ears.
