“Jill!”
When Chantelle saw that her daughter had been pped, she was so mad that she kept on thumping her chest and stomping her foot. “Peony, look at what your loser son-inw has done.
“He’s going to kill her!
“He’s going to kill her! My poor daughter, you suffered through so many ps. Boohoohoo...
“Why is my life so miserable?”
Peony was infuriated. Every word her sister said cut through her like a knife. She red at rence in rage. “rence, you’ve gone too far.
“So what if we misunderstood you? It’s not a big deal. How badly have you been wronged?
“If you had exined yourself, would we not have believed you?”
Peony advanced toward rence. “We all know you deliberately didn’t exin yourself so you could frame it as a conflict. You wanted to use it to get Miranda to divorce you.
“Are you happy now that you’re divorced?
“Do you have any idea how upset Miranda was when she found out the truth about the Humanity Hall scam and Chadwick’s kidnapping?
“Miranda is at home grieving, yet you’re out shopping with another woman?! Has your conscience been thrown into the dumpster?”
Peony took a step forward. “Now, you’ve pped Jill to get back at Miranda.
“Look at how hard you’ve pped a good girl like her!
“You violent freak, you pervert, you psycho!
“Since you like beating up people so much, you might as well beat me to death.”
With each sentence, Peony took another step toward rence.
By the time she finished herst sentence, Peony was standing in front of rence. Her eyes welled up with anger, while her breath smelled of garlic, nearly overwhelming him.
rence was stunned. ‘Miranda’s sad about the divorce?
‘Does she have feelings for me?’
Armstrong also added, “rence, you’ve really disappointed us.
“I thought you were just a loser and someone unpromising. I didn’t expect you to like pulling off such petty tricks behind our backs.
“We should be upright and honest!
“If you’re upset about the divorce, you can argue with the Murphy family, but pping Jill behind our backs is too much.
“What’s Jill got to do with this? What’s the point of taking your revenge out on her?”
rence ignored them.
He was still thinking about Miranda being sad about their divorce.
Suddenly, a startled voice rang out from behind rence’s back, “Mom, Dad, what are you doing here?”
rence stiffened.
When he looked back, it was Miranda.
She was wearing a baggy batwing blouse and culottes. She was carrying shopping bags and looking as aloof and beautiful as ever.
rence saw William beside Miranda. It looked like they had been out shopping and had just happened to be passing by.
“Haha, is that what you call grieving?” rence smiled sarcastically.
He had been worried about Miranda, but it turned out that he had just been overthinking.
Peony and Armstrong were a little embarrassed that their daughter had shown up just then.
“rence, what are you doing here?” Miranda frowned as she looked at her family. “What’s going on?”
Peony exined, “Here’s the thing. Jill has just returned from abroad and was shopping at Walker Street with her best friends.
“But Cecilia was careless, and I actually wonder if she knocked over Jill’s milk tea on purpose to get revenge.
“Jill tried to get Cecilia to apologize, but Cecilia refused! Then, they argued.
“As a man, rence even pped Jill and forced her to apologize.
“Jill got so mad she called all of us toe over.
“Look at how badly Jill was pped.”
After listening to her mother’s exnation, Miranda looked at Jill’s swollen face.
Miranda was furious. “rence, don’t go too far. Come at me if you want revenge. Hurry up and apologize to Jill!”
“Haha, you’re as overbearing as ever. Unfortunately, I’m not the old me anymore. Apologize? No way.” rence smiled yfully.
Miranda frowned. “Shouldn’t you apologize for what you did wrong?
“Do you not understandmon sense?”
rence had a sneer on his face. “Do you believe your mother again?
“Do you think that that’s the case and that it’s already my fault, without even needing to listen to my exnation?”
rence nodded non-stop. “I don’t knowmon sense. You knowmon sense best. You know everything.”
Miranda was stunned. “You can exin himself.”
rence did not bother to exin. “Why should I?”
Cecilia walked over. “Yeah, why should rence exin to you?”
Miranda snapped, “What does business between my husband and me have to do with you?”
rence fell into a temporary trance.
Cecilia shook her head in amusement. “You and your husband? That’s funny. You’re both divorced. Your husband?
“You don’t own rence anymore. You gave him up.”
Cecilia grabbed rence’s arm and leaned her head on it. “You don’t want him, but I do.”
Miranda went pale and quivered. “rence, you two...”
“Yes, I’ve gotten together with Cecilia. Aren’t you hooking up with William too?” renceughed at himself. “Your mother just said you were upset and grieving at home because you found out that you had misunderstood me. I didn’t know that this is how you grieve, though—you hang out with someone who has tried to rape you before.”
Miranda felt a pang in her heart. It was as if she had been stabbed by a knife.
rence shook his head. “Cecilia, let’s go. I don’t want to shop anymore.”
“Me neither. Come on, let’s go home.” Cecilia took rence by the arm and turned to walk away.
Miranda watched their backs. Those words, and particrly that ‘go home’, tore her heart out and left her with mixed feelings.
Miranda bit her lip and yelled at rence resentfully, “rence, what are you doing? You’re already hooking up with someone else after you’ve just divorced me!”
“Aren’t you the same? We’re just the same. We’re both pigs, so let’s not get disgusted with each other.” rence left without looking back.
Peony walked over. “Miranda, don’t get upset over that little loser. William’s a nice guy. Just spend time with him.”
Miranda’s head was buzzing. She could not hear a thing.
Peony said nothing more. “You guys go ahead and bond. This incident has nothing to do with you. We’ll deal with it.”
With that said, the Murphy family left in a hurry.
They left as hurriedly as they hade.
Onlookers dispersed.
William reached out to put his arm around Miranda’s shoulder, but she jerked away from him. She ran ten feet away from William and red at him in rm. “William, you disgust me.”
“Hahahaha!”
William grinned sinisterly and nced yfully at Miranda. “Have you just found out that I’m disgusting? Have you read all the information?
“Any one piece of it could destroy the Murphy Property Development Group. Twenty or thirty years in jail would be a light sentence for your parents.
“How you treat me will determine the Murphy family’s fate.”
Miranda trembled with anger.
After she watched the video on rence’s phone, she found out that William had actually tried to rape her. She had confronted William on the phone.
After he was exposed, instead of worrying, William had merely sent Miranda a stack of information about the Murphy Property Development Group breaking thew.
If William used the information to report Murphy Property Development Group, Miranda’s family would be torn apart.
“My parents didn’t do that. That was all Kaysen and George’s doing!” Miranda’s hands and feet trembled slightly.
William moved closer, his face almost touching Miranda’s pretty face. “What’s the use of telling me that? Go talk to the judge and see if they believe it.
“Remember, you have to do whatever I say from now on. Maybe I’ll burn these if you make me happy.
“If not, they might show up in a judge’s whistle-blower inbox.”
Miranda almost broke down. “William, please.
“Let the Murphy family go.”
William smiled and nodded. “Sure, 8 PM at First Birch Hotel tonight.
“The same room. I’ll wait for you. rence ruined it for me in that room thest time.
“Tonight, I want you to offer yourself to me.
“Remember, wear ady’s suit and hip-hugging skirt.. Don’t forget those nude-colored stockings I like.”
