《You Used to Be My World》


 C1. Tear Your Heart Out

    Proofreader: Peter Gong


    "Vivi, you...came back?"


    Mandy has never thought she will see that face, Vivi Qiao''s, again. However, looking at Charlie Jiang, her husband, who stands beside her, Mandy realizes it isn''t a dream.


    The porridge being cooked is boiling and bubbling in the kitchen. Mandy dazes for a while and reminds herself of reality, forcing a smile and says, "It''s a relief that you are all alright."


    "Relief? Are you relieved?" Vivi looks at her, half smirking with a little resentment hidden. "If it weren''t you, Mandy, who pushed me into the sea, how could I lose all my memory and have lived an unexamined life for these years? Thanks to Charlie who has found me, or I have no idea how long I will live without my memory!"


    "Was it me who pushed you into the sea?" Mandy shows an unbelievable expression, and says eagerly, "No, it wasn''t me. On the contrary, it was you who wanted to put me into the sea but fell into it accidentally. Charlie, you''ve also seen the police''s reports?!"


    Mandy watches Charlie. However, Charlie loses all his tenderness, and indifference and coldness come over his face instead.


    "Reports? Do you think I would believe them? Your family''s position in Haicheng City makes it much easier to forge a document in order to protect you."


    What Charlie said at first shocks Mandy, then she makes a reaction and asks, "What do you mean...?"


    "Mandy, do you really think that I married you because I really love you?" Charlie sneers, with grimness in his eyes, "If it weren''t for avenge, I would not marry an evil woman like you!"


    Mandy''s heart trembles the moment he finishes his words.


    Three years ago, Vivi never appeared again after falling into the sea. She is recorded as a missing person since no one has found her body. Nevertheless, after the missing of Vivi, Charlie''s family company has met its Waterloo on account of listing abroad.This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.


    At that time, however, Charlie chose Mandy to marry. Mandy wondered whether Charlie married her for the sake of protecting his family company or anything else.


    Mandy has been in secret love for Charlie since girlhood. However, she chose to step aside when he fell in love with Vivi.


    Therefore, when Charlie came to her house and proposed marriage to her, she said yes without hesitation.


    Naively enough, she believed that if she could bring her father to save his family and if she could love him heart and soul, Charlie would cherish her as the apple of his eye......


    She had a little worry before her marriage. However, to her great surprise she found Charlie treated her extremely well after the marriage. Almost all the people who knew them thought it was due to God''s blessing that Mandy could marry Charlie. For her, she couldn''t agree more with the opinion.


    But now, hearing what Charlie said, Mandy feels like someone strangling her neck, and even her breath is mingled with endless pain!


    Seeing Mandy''s face turning pale, Charlie secretly enjoys a pleasure of avenge.


    As if it is not enough to hurt her, Charlie continues to say, "Since Vivi disappeared, I''ve always been wondering how I can make you fall into the hell. Later I understand that only tearing your heart out can offset the pain that Vivi has suffered!"


    "Tear my heart out?"


    Mandy stops her breath in a moment, stumbling a bit. Charlie, standing before Mandy, seems not himself anymore. He is no longer the husband who treats her with tenderness.


    For a while, she asks quietly, "So, it has been a conspiracy since you married me, hasn''t it? What you''ve done for me so long time is false?"


    Saying the last word false, Mandy feels as if she has used up all her strength.


    Charlie suddenly sneers when he hears Mandy''s words. That sneer, however, doesn''t reach the bottom of his eyes. He says, "If I were not to treat you better, how are you being hurt so deep now?"


    "Charlie!" Mandy feels like her chest being ripped up fiercely when he finishes his words. She endures great pain, abruptly raising her voice, "Why! Why did you do that to me?"


    "You deserve it, don''t you?" Charlie stops his sneer, and his face turns terribly cold. "When you pushed Vivi into the sea, you should know you will be caught up with it someday."


    "No, I didn''t...I did not!" Mandy grabs Vivi who stands before her, saying urgently, "You''d better tell Charlie right now, it wasn''t me who pushed you into the sea, it was you who carelessly, it was you..."


    "That''s enough!" Vivi interrupts her dryly, and with pity she looks at her, "Mandy, I''ve always treated you as my best friend. I never thought you wanted to kill me because of Charlie."


    At this moment, Mandy totally understands.


    She loosens Vivi''s hand, steps back, bitterly similes, watches her and says, "I know it! I know it all. Vivi Qiao, you slander me because you are afraid of me telling Charlie your scandal in the past. You radically..."


    However, hardly before Mandy finishes her words Charlie breaks in impassively, "Mandy, until death you do not change your mind!"

 C2. Blood-Red Datura

    Proofread by Peter Gong


    ¡°It is you who are unregenerate!¡± Mandy turns around to Charlie, gritting her teeth, ¡°I have no idea what you like about her! She cheated on you at that time! I saw her with another man! She is setting me up like this because she¡¯s afraid that I will expose her!¡±


    ¡°Set you up? Haha.¡± Charlie laughs grimly, ¡°Mandy, if you really had seen something before, how come you never told me until today? As I see it, it is you who want to set Vivi up. There¡¯s nothing wrong in saying that you are malicious.¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t! Indeed, it was her¡ª¡ª¡±


    ¡°Enough!¡± Charlie interrupts her, ¡°No matter what you say, I will never believe you again. Oh, no. I should say that I¡¯ve never believed you.¡±


    What is so-called grieving to the extent of wishing to die? She understands it completely now.


    It has never occurred to her that Charlie would tear her heart out with his own hands one day.


    In her heart, pains spreads without restraint, which she can¡¯t resist at all.


    An indefinite period of time later, Mandy lowers her eyes all of a sudden, looking extremely vulnerable. With lips trembling, she murmurs, ¡°Charlie, I wanna go back home.¡±


    ¡°Home? Which one? Residence of Song?¡±


    ¡°Right. I wanna go back to my own home.¡±


    The words are barely out of her mouth when she hears Charlie¡¯s sepulchral voice, ¡°I¡¯m afraid you can¡¯t go back. Because this afternoon, your family enterprise declared bankruptcy, and your father, Hayes Song, has been put in prison because of bribe. You and your family are totally screwed!¡±


    ¡°What did you say?¡± Mandy looks up at Charlie suddenly, with an unbelievable look on her face, ¡°My father offered a bribe? How could that be?¡±


    ¡°Why is that impossible? You think your father is a man of rectitude and probity? Do you know what he has done to enforce me to marry you? It has been so many years that I have to pretend we are an affectionate couple with so much hatred in my heart. Do you know how sick it makes me?¡± Charlie¡¯s eyes fill with ridicule, ¡°I have gone to great lengths to catch you tripping.¡±This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    ¡°You¡­¡­you did it?¡± Mandy stares at Charlie fixedly, her voice trembling.


    Charlie looks back at her directly, the most merciless words jumping out of his mouth. ¡°I said, I would let you go down to the hell. Of course, your whole family would be with you!¡±


    Mandy can¡¯t believe the man in front of her is the man who she loves from childhood to adulthood¡­¡­


    Her father and she have treated him very well for so many years. Is that fake? Why did he say that? Back in the day when his family encountered financial crisis, she begged her father to help them piteously. Why would it be like this suddenly?


    In a split second, Mandy feels that all her blood rushes into her brain. She scolds and screams, ¡°Charlie! Are you crazy? If it weren¡¯t for us, your company has already been screwed! Even if you don¡¯t love me or you want to get back at me, you shouldn¡¯t have done this to my family!¡±


    ¡°Hmm? But if I haven¡¯t done this, how could I work my way up since your family enterprise has occupied the market of Haicheng City for so many years?¡±


    ¡°Psycho, you are a fucking psycho!¡±


    Mandy screams and tries to rough Charlie up, but he easily catches her wrists. Looking at Mandy¡¯s face, with whom he has lived for over nine hundred days, Charlie now wears a ferocious look with not a bit of his previous gentleness left.


    Suddenly, he sees Mandy¡¯s eyes. They were filled with countless love originally, but now only with hostility.


    He feels tight in the chest momentarily, but that feeling soon disappears.


    Isn¡¯t that what he always wants? He should be happy, shouldn¡¯t he?


    He regains his presence of mind and laughs at Mandy, with the corners of his mouth quirking up, ¡°Mandy Song, I advise you stop asking for troubles.¡±


    With that, his hands push a little bit, and Mandy falls heavily to the ground. At this moment her coiled hair quickly runs down, making her look like a crazy woman.


    In the instance, the betrayal of her lover and the guilt felt for her family are cutting every corner of her body mercilessly like daggers.


    Mandy¡¯s nails have long dug into the palm of her hands, with blood oozing from them.


    She raises her head slightly to see there is a fruit knife glittering at the tea table from a small distance.


    She reaches the point of collapsing and runs to the tea table. At this moment, all she wants is to free herself from the unbearable pain.


    Charlie quickly reacts, trying to stop Mandy. But it is one step late. She takes the knife and cuts her wrist. The blood flows out to be a red datura.


    Mandy sees the fearful look at Charlie¡¯s face in front of her, smiling suddenly and whispering, ¡°Charlie, you will regret it. You are doomed to.¡±

 C3. Completely Destroy You

    Proofread by Peter Gong


    When Mandy opens her eyes again, she sees nothing but a vast expanse of whiteness.


    Though she is in a daze, every scene that happened before abruptly comes to mind. In a sudden, she sits up from the bed.


    She decides to return to see her family!


    It is not until the wound on her wrist hurts again does she realize she was so stupid that she should commit suicide for such a man.


    While she is thinking about it, she is rushing to pull out the infusion tube and eager to leave!


    Nevertheless, at this moment, the ward¡¯s door opens, Charlie shows up like a demon from the hell.


    Mandy is too shocked to move, unconsciously trembling all over the body.


    ¡°Are you awake?¡± Charlie raises his eyebrow, casually walking to Mandy and asks, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Now, don¡¯t you want to die? Mandy, you are an extremely talented actress.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s none of your business whether I want to die.¡± Mandy grits her teeth, without looking at Charlie, turns her face and says, ¡°I have to return to see my family.¡±


    ¡°Are you returning? Let me give you a ride.¡± A faint smile appears on Charlie¡¯s face.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to pretend like a kind man.¡± Mandy has never forgot everything that Charlie had said before. She raises her head, cruelly stares at him and says: ¡°I admit that you won. You have already thoroughly pushed me into the hell.¡±


    The pain on her wrist¡¯s wound continuously reminds Mandy how brutal he was.


    After a moment, Mandy takes a deep breath, trying to be calm, and says: ¡°Charlie, let us divorce.¡±


    ¡°Divorce?¡± A trace of sarcasm emerges on Charlie¡¯s lip, ¡°Mandy, didn¡¯t you want to murder your good friend in order to marry me? Are you willing to divorce just like this?¡±


    He makes no efforts to hide his irony, which has turned Mandy¡¯s face pale in a moment.


    She clenches her teeth, staring at Charlie, and then bursts into laughter suddenly, ¡°Charlie, I thought I was pathetic enough, however, seeing the way how you protected Vivi, now I think you are more pathetic than I am.¡±This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.


    Her latent sarcasm glares extremely and makes Charlie feel unpleasant, so Charlie¡¯s tone subconsciously becomes ill-mannered: ¡°Mandy, who do you think you are? Now Song Family has disappeared, your anchor has gone, too, why are you laughing at me?!¡±


    ¡°I am laughing based on everything I know! I know Vivi had a love affair with someone else without telling you, I also know how stupid you are right now!¡±


    For many years, Mandy has hardly spoken with Charlie like this.


    She used to love him and cling to him, but the man now in front of her is no longer the man before. Instead, he is a murderer who destroys her world.


    Hearing what she says, Charlie¡¯s dark pupils are getting darker. He sneers and says, ¡°Mandy, I would not believe you because what you said. If you were the one who had fallen into the sea, your words might have been more convincing.¡±


    Mandy realizes no matter what she says, Charlie will not believe and she doesn¡¯t want to continue arguing this with him, either. She says again: ¡°Now that your Vivi has come back, isn¡¯t divorce a good choice for everybody?¡±


    ¡°Of course we should divorce, but Mandy, why do you think I will easily let you go?¡±


    The man¡¯s words make Mandy feel like being thrown into icehouse.


    She thinks she has misheard, looks at Charlie doubtfully and mumbles, ¡°What do you mean...¡±


    ¡°I have said that I would make you go into hell. If I were to make you leave, wouldn¡¯t it be too much advantage for you?¡± Charlie¡¯s gaze looks like a poisonous sharp edge, penetrating into Mandy¡¯s heart.


    She holds her breath, and cannot help quivering all over the body.


    ¡°Is it not enough? Is what you have done not enough?!¡± Mandy screams, showing her wound in front of Charlie. ¡°Charlie, my family has been ruined by you! Including me! To what extent will you stop and rest?!¡±


    ¡°Not enough, never will be enough.¡± Charlie says, stretching his hands into her clothes, and there is humiliation in his voice. ¡°I will tie you around me, let you linger on this world by virtue of a shameful identity. I strive to let everybody watch you begging to stay with me regardless of family hostility...¡±


    ¡°Demon...Charlie, you are a fucking demon!¡±


    Mandy¡¯s eyes turn red, staring at Charlie hatefully!


    However, it seems like he doesn¡¯t care at all, straightly pushing her into the bed behind and pressing on her.


    Mandy sees what is going to happen and hurries to struggle, but Charlie¡¯s body is heavy like weighing a ton and she is pressed too hard to move a bit. She pushes Charlie away and screams at the same time, ¡°What do you want to do, Charlie!¡±


    ¡°What do I want to do?¡± The man¡¯s eyes darken as he slides one hand in between her thighs. He sneers, ¡°Of course, have sex with you. Otherwise, is there any point that I have you beside me?¡±


    ¡°Insane, you are a fucking insane!¡±


    Mandy cannot bear such humiliation, trying hard to get rid of his shackle!


    Charlie sees it, impatiently tearing her clothes right way, putting his bare hands on her, then he humiliates her, ¡°You are not such a person previously, and you begged me to do that.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t speak! Don¡¯t you speak!¡± Mandy is becoming totally crazy, being driven crazy by Charlie¡¯s insanity.


    ¡°Don¡¯t speak? Why not?¡± A trace of ridicule appears on Charlie¡¯s eyes, ¡°From nowadays, you are no longer Mrs. Jiang, you will be Lady Song who can be everybody¡¯s wife in Haicheng City. Oh, I forget, in this city, your family has disappeared.¡±


    During the time he spoke, Charlie had undressed their clothes. Mandy has no chance to speak before she feels pained in the lower part of her body because of Charlie¡¯s penetration.

 C4. His Prisoner

    He has no pity for her after having sex. Mandy is so utterly exhausted that she has no strength to speak. It¡¯s like her body has been rolled over by a car.


    Charlie looks at Mandy lying flat like a pool of dead water on the sickbed, and malignity flashes in his eyes.


    ¡°I will send someone to take you home this afternoon. I advise you stop playing tricks before that. Otherwise, I will make your life a living hell.¡±


    Hearing this, Mandy couldn¡¯t help laughing out. She stares at Charlie fixedly, with despair and resentment in her eyes. She says, ¡°Haha, I¡¯d like to see how you make my life a living hell.¡±


    She is as good as dead now.


    It seems that Charlie knows what Mandy thinks in mind. There¡¯s much more malignity in his eyes right now. He opens his lips,¡°Don¡¯t forget that your father is still in prison. As long as I make some arrangements, I believe that his life in the prison could be very exciting.¡±


    The voice of Charlie just fell, and Mandy¡¯s sneer freezes at the corner of mouth. The next moment, anger climbs up her face. She says with resentment, Charlie Jiang, how dare you!¡±


    ¡°You can have a try if you don¡¯t believe.¡± Charlie ties the cuff-links and adjusts the clothes, ¡°I¡¯ve got something to do. I should leave now.¡±


    ¡°Get out! Get the hell out!¡±


    Mandy¡¯s roar is nothing to Charlie. She is on the edge of being insane. Charlie looks at the woman on the bed, and a feeling of pleasure flashes in his heart. Then he turns around and walks out of the ward.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    As soon as Charlie gets out, Mandy stops yelling. She sits there powerlessly, as if all the strength were taken away from her by someone suddenly.


    Her teeth bite the lips tightly and her eyes are as grey as ashes.


    Her mom passed away since she was very young. Her father, Hayes Song, brought her up all by himself. She has been supported by Hayes unconditionally no matter what she does. And that includes her marrying Charlie Jiang.


    But now, she implicates her father, the man who loves her most, just because of her deed.


    Had she not been so obstinate at that time, none of these would have ever happened.


    Mandy thinks about Hayes Song, tears running down like a broken line of beads.


    Charlie won. She can¡¯t just go away, leaving Hayes behind. Even if she will be picked by thousand knives and tortured by a mountain of swords and a sea of flames, she will get through them for Hayes.


    In the afternoon, someone comes and picks Mandy up. However, she arrives at the place, only to find it is not the residence of Jiang. Just as what Charlie put it, she becomes his prisoner.


    Mandy stays in the strange house the whole afternoon. Charlie didn¡¯t show up until the evening.


    He seems to be very satisfied about what he sees with a smile at the corners of the mouth. Charlie threw a divorce agreement at Mandy. It has long been prepared. Charlie says, ¡°Sign it.¡±


    Mandy takes a glance at Charlie and then shifts attention to the document aside. She asks all of a sudden, ¡°Charlie, I¡¯m wondering what you would do if I don¡¯t sign it.¡±


    Charlie doesn¡¯t expect such words from Mandy. He is astonished for a moment, then his eyes become freezingly cold, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°I mean, if I don¡¯t sign it, then I am still your wife. In that case, Vivi Qiao will be cast aside because she is a disgraceful mistress, won¡¯t she?¡±


    Mandy looks up at Charlie to see his face becoming extremely dreadful, and she says, ¡°Charlie Jiang, I suppose you won¡¯t let Vivi Qiao suffer that way. After all, she is the woman you love most.¡±

 C5. The Preset Trap

    Mandy Song stares at Charlie Jiang with unblinking eyes.


    Charlie¡¯s eyes dim, his long fingers slightly move and directly pinch Mandy¡¯s chin. His fingers tighten all of a sudden and lips part lightly.


    ¡°I advise you not to challenge my patience. You have to sign the divorce agreement, whether you are willing or not.¡±


    It is the pain coming from the jaw that causes Mandy to frown, but her eyes are still full of disobedience. She replies word by word.


    ¡°Charlie Jiang, I really regret that I have helped you, such a brutal and cold-blooded trash. I should have watched you and your family die in front of me.¡±


    How much you love someone; and how much you will hate someone.


    How much Mandy loved Charlie before, and how much she hates him now.


    After she says, Charlie sneers with the unchanged face, ¡°Mandy, did you really believe that something happened to my family company at the beginning?¡±


    Mandy is stunned as soon as Charlie¡¯s voice dies away. After a while, she asks confusedly, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you understand?¡± Charlie smiles more complacently, ¡°Rejected IPO was a sheer fake. If not, your cunning father would not really believe that I was going to marry you?¡±


    When Vivi meets with a mishap, Mandy doesn¡¯t publicize her scandal in consideration of their old affection, but soon Jiang¡¯s family company meets the barriers of listing in M Country.


    Under such circumstances, Charlie comes to the Song¡¯s family to send betrothal gifts to her. And his intention is very clear, that is, to marry her for the future of Jiang¡¯s family.


    Although Mandy is sad, she agrees to marry Charlie without hesitation.


    The unmarried rich girl of the Song¡¯s family is going to get married, and Hayes Song almost gives the half asset of Song¡¯s family company as her dowry!


    Even after these years, the century wedding has been remembered by many people. At that time, the dowry of Song¡¯s family not only succeeds in saving Jiang¡¯s family company, but also helps it to develop smoothly in the next three years.


    But now, Charlie tells her that all this is a conspiracy.Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.


    The breaking of Jiang¡¯ s family company¡¯s capital chain because of rejected IPO is false, and it is also false that he wants to marry her, which is a trap long set up by Charlie. So, what else is true of the marriage?


    Her courage at that time seems extremely ridiculous right now.


    For a moment, Mandy is like a puppet without the soul, sitting feebly without light in her eyes.


    Seeing her like this, the pleasure of revenge comes from Charlie¡¯s heart. However, there is a mixed pricking pain within his heart.


    But the pain is so slight compared with the great pleasure that he doesn¡¯t even notice it.


    Charlie is very satisfied with the Mandy he sees now. He releases the hands, takes the ¡°divorce agreement¡± beside him and puts it in Mandy¡¯s arms. ¡°I have a hundred ways to let you sign it, but after all, we were husband and wife before, so I give you the chance to take the initiative to sign it.¡±


    His voice sounds insidious and vicious. Mandy blinks her eyes, and then she can discern the face of Charlie. That face is not different from the usual one, but she knows he has become a totally different person.


    She bites the teeth, takes the document in the arms and says, ¡°I sign it.¡±


    ¡°It will be better that you sign it earlier.¡± Charlie chuckles twice.


    Taking the pen on the desk, Mandy turns to the last page without reading it, finds the signature and quickly signs her name on it. After that, she closes the document with a snap, as if erasing their past..


    From now on, Mandy swears that if she loves him again, she will suffer from the pain of thousands of arrows penetrating the heart.


    Charlie satisfactorily takes over the divorce agreement from Mandy and says, ¡°You can rest assured that there is no difference between your home and this house. The nanny will come here tomorrow, and your diet and daily life will be taken good care of by others as before.¡±


    ¡°What about freedom? Can you give it to me?¡± Mandy sneers.


    ¡°Freedom?¡± Charlie seems to hear a joke and suddenly bursts into laughing, ¡°Mandy, do you really consider yourself as my wife? If I¡¯m willing to give you freedom, why should I say that you¡¯re stuck here?¡±


    This is the revenge of Charlie, which makes Mandy destroy herself in the imprisonment day by day. Physical pain is nothing at all, and mental suffering is the most lethal. Guilt for her family and despair of the future can completely devastate her.


    Looking at the way Charlie laughs, Mandy still keep cold face and says, ¡°Charlie, you are really disgusting.¡±


    ¡°There will be more things for you to feel disgusted later on.¡± Charlie doesn¡¯t care about what she says at all. ¡°Today you can adapt yourself to the new environment first. I¡¯ll see you again when I have time.¡±


    After saying that, Charlie turns around and leaves the room without even looking at Mandy again.


    Looking at the unfamiliar room, the camouflaged adamancy on Mandy¡¯s face completely collapses. She sinks himself into the sofa and slowly closes her eyes.


    After that day, Charlie never comes back. Mandy knows from TV that he is preparing for his wedding with Vivi.


    It¡¯s so ridiculous that there are no communication tools in the house. She almost loses all contact with the outside world except the TV. The nanny is a deaf-mute person who cooks and cleans at intervals every day.


    Charlie whom she treated with all trust before takes precautions against her to such a degree!


    The house seems to be her only world all of a sudden. She can¡¯t go anywhere except staying here.

 C6. Everything Concerning Her

    On the wedding day, Charlie Jiang wakes up early. According to Chinese custom, the bride can¡¯t live with the bridegroom the day before the wedding day. Since his divorce with Mandy, he uses the bedroom as the study and moves to the third floor.


    Charlie has thrown away everything concerning Mandy such as the books she has read and the articles for her daily use. However, not knowing why he feels her smell lingering in the air all the time.


    The smell is always faintly discernible, making him upset all of a sudden.


    Charlie thinks that Mandy haunts him, but he has never thought of changing his house. Vivi has insinuated to him that it¡¯s better to change his house in recent days, but Charlie turns a deaf ear to her advice.


    He says that he has lived here for many years, feeling deeply attached to the house, but no one knows that he is attached to the house or something else.


    At eight o¡¯clock in the morning, Young Ji appears in the Jiang¡¯s mansion. Looking at the red color of the house, he frowns unconsciously. The new servant doesn¡¯t know him and asks directly, ¡°May I know your name please?¡±


    But as soon as the servant¡¯s voice dies away, there comes a calm voice from behind. ¡°You go back, there¡¯s nothing for you here.¡±


    The servant turns back, and seeing Charlie standing there, he quickly goes back.


    When seeing Charlie come, Young lifts his eyebrows and says, ¡°Today is your wedding day. Why do you look very unhappy?¡±


    ¡°How did you know that I¡¯m not happy?¡± Charlie looks at the old friend in front of him and asks, ¡°When did you come back? Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡±This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it


    ¡°I came back only yesterday. I didn¡¯t call you for fear that you would be busy preparing for your wedding.¡± Young thinks about the rumors he has heard after coming back. He hesitates and asks, ¡°Did you really destroy Song¡¯s family?¡±


    As for Young¡¯s question, Charlie is stunned at first, and then gives an irrelevant answer, ¡°Hayes has done a lot of bad things over the years. I think you shouldn¡¯t be surprised when he comes to such an end.¡±


    ¡°Yes, Hayes has done a lot of dark-minded business these years. But after all, he helped you and your family before.¡± Young frowns and says, ¡°You are more aware of what Mandy has done to you over the years than we outsiders. You bite the hand that feeds you, and it is not what a gentleman should.¡±


    ¡°Gentleman?¡± What Young says makes Charlie burst into laughing, ¡°I never say that I am a gentleman.¡±


    Young knows that this good friend will do anything once he makes up his mind. Seeing that there are no other alternatives, he asks again, ¡°What about Mandy? You are married now, what about her?¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s fine. I¡¯ve asked someone to take good care of her.¡± Charlie doesn¡¯t want to discuss her with Young any more, so he puts arms around Young¡¯s shoulder and starts to talk about another topic, ¡°You aren¡¯t about to leave since you have come back, right?¡±


    ¡°Well, I have completed my study. It¡¯s time for me to come back and help my family to run the company.¡±


    ¡°Great. I can talk with you when you are here.¡± Charlie smiles.


    ¡°There are many people that you can talk with.¡± Young also laughs, and then says,¡± Your bride is the best candidate. In fact, I haven¡¯t seen her yet. She must be the girlfriend you had in college? Didn¡¯t you say she disappeared before? So, you find her right now?¡±


    Young has a lot of questions. He knows little about Charlie¡¯s love and hatred because he has studied in the United States since senior high school and hasn¡¯t returned home until yesterday. So, what happened to Charlie these years can only be transmitted indirectly to him, and that¡¯s why he never knows Charlie very clearly.


    Hearing Young¡¯s questions, Charlie smiles more happily.


    ¡°You have so many questions. I¡¯ll answer them later one by one. Now that you have returned, you accompany me to pick up the bride today. When the wedding is over, let¡¯s talk in detail.¡±


    ¡°Well, I¡¯ll go and see the bride.¡±


    While speaking, they have already walked out of the house. But just at the moment of stepping out of the door, Charlie suddenly turns his head, looks at the house behind him and feels like something is disappearing.


    But it is too fast for him to grasp what it is.

 C7. Inferior to a Dog on the Roadside

    At 11 o¡¯clock late at night, Mandy stares at the ceiling with her eyes opened in the darkness. It¡¯s quiet around. It seems that there is only silence left in her world. Her world is silent either on the bright day or on the pitch-dark night in which she can¡¯t see her hands in front of her.


    She admits that Charlie is the winner, and she suffers from mental torture, which is more terrible than physical torture. Nobody talks with her. There is no sound except TV. At first, she can talk to herself, but now she hasn¡¯t spoken for nearly half a month.


    Just then, there is a sudden stir outside the house.


    Mandy is stunned and unconsciously sits up from the bed. The house is still quiet, but the footsteps outside become more and more clear.


    Is that Charlie?


    Mandy thinks that it is impossible, after all, today is his wedding day. He exposes her to such a dangerous situation by all means in order to marry Vivi. So, he should stay with Vivi right now, how could he come here again?


    Perhaps, it is a thief. As soon as this idea occurs to her mind, Mandy feels vaguely happy rather than scared. She hasn¡¯t talked with people for a long time. She is willing to give the thief everything in the house as long as he takes her away. If he is vicious, she doesn¡¯t mind her being killed by the thief.


    To leave, or to die¡ª¡ªeither way is a relief for her now.


    While she thinks, the door of the room is unlocked by someone, and comes the pungent smell of alcohol.


    In the dark, the man¡¯s eyes are like stars in the sky.


    Mandy is stunned there at once. Faster than she can respond, the man rushes over and presses her under him. When his hot palm touches her skin, Mandy suddenly comes to her senses, stretches out her hands and tries to push the man away. She shouts in a hoarse voice, ¡°Charlie, are you crazy?¡±


    She will never mistake those eyes for the whole life.This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.


    The man¡¯s hands continue his previous actions without a word. Mandy is not so strong as Mandy, so she can¡¯t move.


    Looking at the figure groveling on her body, she feels extremely humiliated. It is obviously that they have divorced. It is obviously that he is the most hated person for her. But she can do nothing about him.


    Suddenly, Mandy stops pushing him and puts her hands around Charlie¡¯s neck. She buries her head in his neck, but bites him hard by her teeth the next second.


    Charlie comes to his senses because of the sudden pain from his neck. He shakes off Mandy, steps back, stares at her eyes, and says coldly, ¡°Mandy, are you getting tired of living?¡±


    ¡°Charlie, today is your wedding day. You don¡¯t stay with Vivi, but come to me here. Do you suddenly find you have fallen in love with me? You can¡¯t live without me?¡± Seeing him stand up, Mandy can¡¯t help saying ironically.


    At her words, Charlie¡¯s face hidden in the darkness takes on a trace of embarrassed anger. He sneers and says, ¡®Mandy, you are really the most shameless woman I have ever seen. I fall in love with you? That¡¯s really a big joke!¡¯


    ¡°That is the best.¡± Mandy stares at his eyes, with a slight mockery in her pupils. ¡°After all, you are inferior to a dog on the roadside in my opinion.¡±


    When Mandy¡¯s voice just dies away, Charlie is stupefied at that moment.


    When did she have a glib tongue?


    In the memory of Charlie, Mandy is tender and delicate. But now, the woman in front of him is more like a wounded beast, stretching out her claws.


    But he wants to see whether the little beast¡¯s claws can really kill him or not.


    While he thinks, he rushes towards Mandy again. This time, he straightens up Mandy¡¯s hands, and humiliates her, ¡°Then you have to see how you have sex with the dog!¡±


    While saying that, his other hand has already taken off all their clothes, and he directly enters her body without any tenderness!


    Mandy frowns painfully, struggling to escape from his control, but in vain.


    She feels so humiliated that she scolds constantly, ¡°Charlie, you are a devil, you will surely get your retribution in the future!¡±


    But the fiercer Mandy curses, the fiercer his actions are. In the end, Mandy stops talking and closes her eyes in disgrace.


    She doesn¡¯t want to see the face that makes her feel sick.


    She just hopes the torture will end soon.


    Finally, when Charlie finishes venting, Mandy feels as if all her bones were broken.


    Seeing she slumps onto the bed like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, Charlie satisfactorily cleans himself up and turns away from the room.


    After the door is closed with a snap, everything is quiet again, but the pain from her body always reminds her how terrible the man is.


    He used to be the angel who gave her access to bliss of the paradise, but now he becomes the devil who pushes her into the hell.

 C8. The Rope Strapping Him

    In the car, Charlie sits in the driver¡¯s seat, with a flickering cigarette in his hand.


    The erotic smell seems to be lingering on his body, but the only thing he can see is the darkness outside the window.


    The light in the house is never turned on. He hollowly looks at the house like a cannibalistic beast.


    He does drink a lot tonight, and almost never refuses toasts. When he walks with Vivi hand in hand on the red carpet, he suddenly recalls that he took Mandy¡¯s hand and got married with her before.


    On the wedding today, he sees the shadow of Mandy everywhere. He thinks that he might be crazy, so drinks a lot. He has thought that as long as he gets drunk, he won¡¯t think about Mandy. But unexpectedly, the more he drinks, the sober he becomes.


    And then, he immediately drives to Mandy¡¯s house as soon as the wedding is over.


    This is the cage he casts for Mandy, but it seems to become the rope that straps him.


    Unknowingly, the cigarette in his hand has burned out, and the butt scalds his fingertips. Charlie regains consciousness, drives the car and leaves here. The wind blows, but he feels chilled in his heart.


    All night long Charlie doesn¡¯t return to his mansion. Vivi looks at the orderly sheet, and her heart sinks to the bottom.


    Yesterday on the wedding, she found that Charlie was absent-minded, but when she asked him, he just kept saying that he was okay.


    Sometimes woman¡¯s sixth sense is really amazing. What Charlie says seems more perfunctory to Vivi.


    Three years ago, she held the grudge against Mandy since her love affairs with others were found by Mandy. And they had a graduation trip soon. She invited Mandy to the deck and wanted to push her into the sea, but she didn¡¯t realize that she fell into the sea first.This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.


    Fortunately, she was saved by a fishing boat. But she dared not to return to Haicheng City again. She was afraid that Mandy would release everything about her. So, she has endured silently until now, in order to completely crush Mandy.


    Now, as she wishes, Mandy becomes a prisoner, but she always feels


    Charlie sees Vivi staring blankly on the sofa as soon as he gets home. He is stunned, then remembers that he has married Vivi. He goes over and says with a slight apology, ¡°Vivi, why did you wake up so early?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t sleep all night.¡± Vivi looks at Charlie and says piteously. ¡°I¡¯m so afraid that when I fall asleep, I will find our wedding is just a dream. Charlie, I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t  be my side.¡±


    Hearing that, Charlie remembers that he doesn¡¯t come back overnight, and feels more guilty. He quickly hugs her and explains, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, you were alone last night. Young dragged me to drink in order to celebrate my marriage. I promise I won¡¯t let you alone next time.¡±


    But when Charlie embraces her, Vivi smells something different. It¡¯s the erotic smell, with the scent of women. Her eyes become complicated, but she speaks contrarily.


    ¡°Well, I¡¯m fine, as long as you will still be my side.¡±


    Feeling that Vivi is so obedient and sensible, Charlie holds her more tightly. He thinks that he must have been insane yesterday before he went to Mandy¡¯ house. She is just a scheming bitch. How can she compare with Vivi?


    After a long time, Vivi loosens Charlie, pretending to be worried, ¡°Charlie, how is she now?¡±


    When Vivi mentions Mandy, Charlie trembles, and then a trace of coldness appears on his face, ¡°Why did you mention that bitch? We have been apart for so many years because she created difficulties for us.¡±


    ¡°But after all, we were good friends before.¡± Vivi is observing Charlie¡¯s expression. When she sees he is trembling, she knows that he must have concealed something.


    He really doesn¡¯t have affairs with Mandy?


    Obviously, Charlie doesn¡¯t want to talk with Vivi on this topic any more. Instead, he grabs her shoulder and deviates from the topic, ¡°You don¡¯t sleep all night? Come on, I¡¯ll accompany you back to your room for a rest.¡±


    Charlie doesn¡¯t want to talk about Mandy. She has no choice but to pretend to follow his advice.


    However, she thinks that she must take actions.


    At the same time. Another scene. Mandy curls up against the bed. Since Charlie left last night, she has maintained such a posture, which psychologically means defense.


    Mandy has lived smoothly for more than 20 years. But great changes have taken place in this month. Even the most optimistic and strongest person can hardly endure that at this moment.


    She wants to go out; she wants to leave the house; she wants to leave Charlie.


    In her view, the house is hell, and Charlie is the devil.

 C9. The Death Day of Vivi

    Proofreader: Peter Gong


    In the villa, Vivi finds Charlie is absent-minded all day. She keeps calm on the surface, but her heart is torn with anxiety.


    On that day, she has a brainstorm and immediately comes up with a plan.


    Every time she sees Charlie appear, she immediately looks terrified and murmurs all day that someone wants to kill her.


    Charlie is so anxious as she expected.The family doctor doesn¡¯t know what ails her and only thinks she might have worries.


    And Charlie shoots questions at her, Vivi confesses that she has always dreamed recently that Mandy is pushing her into the sea, which is like a nightmare, haunting her.


    ¡°Mandy, I believe that I can beat you.¡±


    Charlie looks at Vivi¡¯s pale face, and his anger at Mandy flares up.


    ¡°Come on, bring that woman out to me!¡±


    Mandy has never thought that she will breathe the air outside. When she wakes up this morning, a stranger appears at the house, saying that he will take her to Charlie.


    Although Charlie never comes back during this period, the fear in her heart lasts for a long time. She doesn¡¯t know the reason why Charlie asks her to be here, but she has a chance to escape as long as she can go out.


    Unfortunately, she is blindfolded and trapped when she leaves the house. When the blindfold is removed from her eyes, Mandy finds herself on a yacht.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.


    The uneasiness suddenly seizes her heart. While she is thinking, Mandy sees Vivi coming along supported by Charlie.


    When Vivi sees Mandy, she hides behind Charlie as if she saw something terrible. Charlie quickly reassures her, ¡°Vivi, don¡¯t be afraid. Nobody can hurt you. I will be your side.¡±


    Vivi looks at Charlie for a long time and nods slowly.


    Seeing that they look like intimate lovers, Mandy can¡¯t help sneering. She hasn¡¯t really noticed that Vivi is such a good actress before and thinks that Vivi should try her best to win an Oscar for her acting skills.


    At this time, Charlie walks to Mandy, lifts her face with his fingers, and says coldly, ¡°Do you know what day it is today?¡±


    ¡°What do you want to say? ¡°Mandy stares at his eyes and asks straightforwardly.


    ¡°Three years ago, you pushed Vivi into the sea. Today would be her death day but for the great fortune.¡± When Charlie thinks of the yearning for Vivi in the past three years, his eyes become colder. He says, ¡°Mandy, today I¡¯m going to let you experience the taste of being thrown into the sea.¡±


    Even though Mandy has understood the feeling that living is not better than death these days, her heart still trembles when she hears Charlie¡¯s words. Her eyes show a trace of panic, but she still pretends to be calm and shouts, ¡°Are you crazy, Charlie? It is illegal to murder!¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t say I was going to kill you.¡± Charlie seems to be very satisfied with Mandy¡¯s being so exasperated. There is a slight mockery around his lip, and he says lightly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll let someone pull you with a rope. You won¡¯t die definitely.¡±


    ¡°Charlie!¡±


    While Mandy shouts, Charlie takes a step back and says to the two men who have been there for a long time, ¡°Don¡¯t just stand there!¡±


    When the two men hear that, they walk to Mandy, lift her up in spite of her struggle, and walk to the edge of the yacht.


    Mandy¡¯s heart is full of uneasiness and fear. She knows that she can¡¯t shake off them, and shouts in a hurry, ¡°Charlie! You will regret it! I curse you for being lonely in the whole life and no one will stay with you!¡±


    Charlie¡¯s eyes darken and he orders the two men, ¡°Throw her into the sea!¡±

 C10. Sink into the Deep Sea

    Proofread by Peter Gong


    The peaceful sea is suffused with waves with a splash.


    Charlie walks to the seaside with Vivi in his arms and says, ¡°Look, nobody will hurt you any more.¡±


    Looking at the bubbling sea, Vivi is very complacent. She is dying to see Mandy will be drown in the sea. Then she meekly stays in Charlie¡¯s arms and gently whispers, ¡°Thank you, Charlie.¡±


    ¡°From now on, nobody can bully you.¡± Charlie promises her.


    At this time, Mandy¡¯s hands and feet are tied up, and she has no strength to struggle at all in the sea. The moment she opens her mouth, the seawater surges into her mouth instantly, stinging her throat.


    The impact on the eardrum becomes bigger and bigger, and then the pain seems to penetrate the seven apertures in the human head and even the heart is tightly squeezed by water pressure, which slowly penetrates the brain.


    When Mandy feels that her consciousness becomes more and more blurred, she is pulled up again by the rope suddenly. The air she suddenly breathes makes her have a dry cough, and she can¡¯t see clearly because of the seawater on her face.


    Charlie loosens Vivi, walks over and pinches Mandy¡¯s jaw. He asks in a cold voice, ¡°How do you feel to be thrown into the sea?¡±


    Mandy looks at Charlie in front of her, suddenly spitting all the seawater left in her mouth on his face and says cruelly, ¡°If you don¡¯t kill me today, I''ll give the pain back to you one day.¡±


    Charlie touches the seawater on his face and his face becomes cold. He suddenly tightens his fingers, stares at Mandy¡¯s face and says, slowly stressing each syllable, ¡°I¡¯d like to see how you can double the pain back to me.¡±


    He shakes off Mandy¡¯s face violently and continues to say, ¡°Throw her into the sea again!¡±Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.


    Mandy wants to scold him again, but she has been thrown into the sea.


    Vivi walks to Charlie, helps him wipe his face and says softly, ¡°Charlie, you¡¯d better to clean your face in case there are some bacteria in the sea.¡±


    ¡°Well, I¡¯ll wash my face first. It¡¯s windy here. Be careful. Don¡¯t catch cold.¡±


    ¡°I will be all right.¡±


    Watching Charlie disappear on deck, Vivi suddenly changes from a soft lady into a cold one. She takes two steps forward and orders the two men to Mandy up for her.


    It is Vivi who gives orders instead of Charlie. Mandy is stunned at first and then sneers, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why not pretend to be the delicate lady?¡±


    ¡°Ha-ha, it isn¡¯t necessary when I am in front of you.¡± Vivi smiles and says, ¡°Mandy, I really appreciate that you didn¡¯t die that year. Otherwise, how could I see you look so awkward now?¡±


    ¡°In fact, the pity is that you didn¡¯t die at that time.¡± Mandy stares at Vivi and says with a cold voice.


    But her words don¡¯t cause any harm to Vivi. Vivi still smiles, but her eyes are cold and gloomy. She says, ¡°Mandy, there is a fact that I haven¡¯t told you all the time. Actually, I haven¡¯t lost my memory in the past three years.¡±


    Vivi¡¯s words make Mandy tremble all over and quickly asks incredulously, ¡°What do you say?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve concealed my identity for so long time. It is just for today.¡± Vivi looks at the dull Mandy and says with a pretended pity, ¡°When I heard that Charlie had found you, I thought I was doomed. But unfortunately, he cheated you from the beginning. Just like me, to be friends with you was always false. If there wasn¡¯t lots of money in your family, I wouldn¡¯t be so fawning on you? Mandy, you lost, you lost from the beginning.¡±


    Everything in so many years is shattered like a bubble, even the friendship she first believes is a lie.


    For a moment, Mandy feels cold all over her body as if she were thrown into the world of ice and snow, and the chill just seeps into the bones. After a while, she looks at Vivi and says bitterly, ¡°You¡¯re bound to be punished in the end.¡±


    ¡°Really? Then I really can¡¯t wait to take a look at it.¡± Vivi smiles indifferently and then says, ¡°Throw her into the sea again. Don¡¯t pull her up without my order!¡±


    The seawater passes through her mouth and nose once again, and now there seems to be nothing left in her world.


    Unknowingly, the rope on her hand is loosened. Mandy looks at the seawater in front of her, and her fear has long been gone. She unties the rope that ties her up, closes her eyes, and the body slowly sinks into the sea.


    She thinks that the deep sea isn¡¯t so terrible.


    And death is but a moment.

 C11. Her Thousand Kinds of Look

    Proofread by Peter Gong


    Vivi notices that Charlie will come back soon and says to the two men in a hurry, ¡°Pull her up for breathing. Don¡¯t let her die.¡±


    If there aren¡¯t so many people watching, she hopes that Mandy will die in the sea. From the beginning, it is a conspiracy for her to make friends with Mandy. She wants to get Charlie and becomes the pure white moonlight in his mind.


    At first, she doesn¡¯t want to be so embarrassed with Mandy, but Mandy sees something that she shouldn¡¯t see.


    The footsteps over there become closer, and the two men are pulling the rope that ties Mandy. But the next second, the expressions on their face change and their hands pick up the rope faster and faster, but they only get the rope in a few seconds.


    Mandy has disappeared.


    The two men exchange glances, and their cold faces finally take on bewilderment.


    Now Charlie is completely in Vivi¡¯s presence. At a glance, his face becomes completely black. He rushes to the two men and asks with a stern voice, ¡°Where is Mandy?¡±


    Mandy? Where is Mandy?


    The two men dare not look directly at the angry Charlie, and involuntarily look at Vivi¡¯s side.


    She has never thought that Mandy will disappear. She is stunned there until she notices the sight of the two men and hurries forward to steady Charlie. She shouts at the two men, ¡°Why are you still stunned? Go and save her!¡±Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.


    The two men feel as if they got amnesty. They quickly drop the rope in hands and turn and jump into the sea.


    Vivi has always understood that it is easier for the dead to be forgiven than the living. She wants to let Mandy die, but absolutely not now, otherwise she can¡¯t reasonably explain all to Charlie.


    The wind on the yacht is still strong like a pressing sword. Charlie¡¯s expression is also like that. He stares at the sea in front of him. His cold expression makes people too scared to approach him.


    Vivi finds his changes, and her heart becomes colder.


    She doesn¡¯t take the past three years seriously, but now the attitude of Charlie tells her that something has been silently covered up by the years. Fortunately, Charlie doesn¡¯t find out this point yet, so she has the opportunity to completely crush all things, just as she did three years ago.


    The peaceful sea ripples again, and one of the men pops out his head soon, followed by the other man who tightens around Mandy¡¯s neck.


    Her face becomes a little blue, which is completely different from the pale one who just spat.


    Charlie feels his heart seems to be suddenly stabbed by a needle and he quickly shouts to Vivi, ¡°Call the doctor, hurry up!¡±


    There always are first aid personnel on this yacht. Looking at Charlie in a hurry, Vivi stops for several seconds before slowly walking to the cabin.


    Although she doesn¡¯t want Mandy to die now, the attitude of Charlie makes her very uncomfortable.


    It is she who is the rightful Mrs. Jiang, but she feels humiliated.


    The other side. Charlie looks at Mandy who is lifted up on the deck.The dull pain in his heart becomes more and more obvious.


    He has seen her tenderness, her glib tongue and thousand kinds of expressions, but he has never seen such an expression without anger.


    She will die? There will never be Mandy in my life?


    Charlie is thinking in his heart, but his heartfelt wishes become clearer and clearer.


    No! Mandy can¡¯t die like that! How can he let her die so easily before he has tortured her enough?

 C12. I Will Curse You

    Proofread by Peter Gong


    Mandy has a long long dream.


    In her dream, when she was five or six years old, she chased Charlie behind him and let him play with her. Then the scene changed. Her world is a white mist. Charlie stands front of her and looks at her coldly and said, ¡°Mandy, go to hell.¡±


    Her heart trembles, and she wakes up from her dream.


    The world is full of white in her eyes and the smell of disinfectant fluid floats in the air. She sits on the sickbed and pants in great fear, and the memory of what happened on the yacht comes back to her mind completely in the next second.


    She recalls Charlie¡¯s cold voice, Vivi¡¯s sneering eyes and the deep sea that swallows her up.


    Every time Mandy thinks of one of them, she feels colder.


    So, Charlie really wants her to die.


    Such an idea makes Mandy feel the imperceptible sadness except scare. Even though she swears that she will never fall in love with Charlie in this life, some of her inner thoughts still argue against her determination.


    At least at this moment, she still feels sad for what Charlie has done.


    The door of the ward is suddenly opened at this moment, and the man who pushes her into the sea comes in like a devil. At the sight of him, Mandy immediately becomes physically stiff, even his eyes being defensive.If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.


    She stares at the action of Charlie and says coldly, ¡°What are you doing here?¡±


    Mandy¡¯s defensive attitude makes Charlie feel uncomfortable. He breathes heavily and his voice unconsciously becomes cold. ¡°I can come to see you. Don¡¯t forget, Mandy, it is I who save your life now!¡±


    ¡°Save?¡± Mandy listens to him, sneers slowly and says painfully, ¡°Charlie, I only know that you want me to die.¡±


    Mandy¡¯s words are so determined that Charlie can¡¯t help being stunned.


    He looks at the woman with disheveled hair in front of him. Her eyes are so firm, as if they were a sharpened sword, waiting to penetrate into his heart.


    Suddenly they fall into a strange silence.


    They don¡¯t know how long it takes for Charlie to laugh suddenly, but his eyes are still cold. He says, ¡°Mandy, how could I let you die like this? It¡¯s too nice for you to die in that way.¡±


    He says very slowly, as if he were afraid that Mandy can¡¯t hear clearly.


    Looking at the face that Mandy can draw even with closed eyes, she pours ridicule on him, ¡°President Jiang is as fierce as ever, but as you wish, I will not die, at least before you die.¡±


    It¡¯s really uncomfortable for her whether she is strapped by the rope or drown in the deep sea.


    As the saying goes, ¡°don¡¯t do anything more than three times.¡± She has been on the verge of death twice, but Hades keeps her outside the gate. In that case, she will not try to commit suicide because nothing is more terrible than death, and she has the courage to do everything.


    Mandy laughs at herself in her heart, then says to Charlie word by word, ¡°I will watch you fall into hell step by step, and I will watch you that all the people around you leave you. I will curse you for living a long life in hell alone.¡±


    Her words are not only curses, but also poisons.


    Charlie¡¯s face becomes pale and his smile suddenly disappears. He stares at Mandy and says, grinding his teeth, ¡°It seems that the lesson I give you is not profound enough. You have forgotten who you are right now.¡±

 C13. You Are Not Able to Die A Natural Death

    Who is Mandy?


    She used to be the rich young daughter of Song¡¯s family and the admired Mrs. Jiang in Haicheng City. But now, she is the unpresentable mistress of Charlie, being deserted by the mass.


    Everything of her is destroyed by the man in front of her at the night a few days ago.


    When she thinks of that, the hatred in her eyes becomes stronger. Eventually, she shouts, ¡°Charlie, you are not able to die a natural death.¡±


    Charlie is scolded easily because he is in a high position. Small companies that he destroys have scolded him, and his rivals have also scolded him. Those people scold him more maliciously than Mandy does.


    But nobody makes him so angry as now.


    Mandy is an exception from long ago to the present.


    He used to consider her as a follower, or even feeling a little annoyed. Then he falls in love with Vivi, and Mandy rarely appears in front of him. He finds that she becomes slenderer at a glance at the banquet. Later Vivi has an accident, and he doesn¡¯t believe that Vivi has slipped and fallen into the sea as Mandy says. So, he plots the conspiracy of today.


    From that time on, he is very angry with Mandy.


    But at that time, Hayes is still alive, and Song¡¯s family is still rich, so he has to bear her. He plays a loving couple with Mandy on each occasion. He loves and spoils her, and sometimes he even forgets his revenge target.


    Charlie once asks himself whether he is going to pretend to be a loving couple with Mandy for the whole life, but he never comes up with an answer.Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    Vivi suddenly appears a month ago. She tells Charlie that she has lost her memory all these years and it is Mandy who pushes her into the sea. Over the years, the longer he gets along with Mandy, the more he doubts whether his decision at that time is wrong or not.


    But Vivi comes back. She tells Charlie that everything is just as he thinks, that is Mandy who wants to kill her.


    He can¡¯t sleep that night, and his anger at Mandy reaches the acme. He thinks that Mandy is so good at acting that she almost deceives him.


    Such anger makes him destroy Song¡¯s family and Mandy in just half a month.


    The past hurriedly flashes through his mind. He comes to his sense and looks at Mandy in front of him. Suddenly, he doesn¡¯t know what he wants.


    Charlie reaches out and gently touches Mandy¡¯s face with his slender fingers.


    Mandy has never thought that he will touch her face. She feels stiff all over, trying to avoid him but in vain. Then she hears the chilling sound of Charlie the next second.


    ¡°That day will never come.¡± He says.


    Whatever Mandy says, he is the king of the city who stands on the top. Mandy is a nobody like the ant under his feet. His hand can pinch her to death as easily as pie with a little effort.


    Charlie suddenly stops being angry. He doesn¡¯t need to be angry with the weak.


    At this time, Mandy can see something clearly in his eyes.


    That¡¯s disdain, disdain for her, disdain for those curses.


    Charlie is still that Charlie, but she is no longer Mandy of the past.


    Taking his fingers away, she says firmly, ¡°If there is no such a day, I will create. Charlie, I will stand in front of you and see you become a stray dog one day.¡±


    ¡°If you have that chance.¡± Charlie isn¡¯t angry. He glances at Mandy and then says, ¡°Vivi is still nostalgic, so she asks me to be kind to you. I won¡¯t restrict your freedom from today. But Mandy, that doesn¡¯t mean you¡¯re really free. If you dare to run away, I really don¡¯t mind pinching your father to death.¡±


    Hayes is not only the evidence that can be at his mercy, but the weakness of Mandy as well.


    While Mandy hears that, her face becomes paler, but she doesn¡¯t yet say a word after all.


    Welcome to read next chapter ahead -> Retribution for Sin</a> on Flying Lines.

 C14. Retribution for Sin

    Mandy gets well very fast, and she is taken back to the room in a few days. Charlie lifts the ban and finally she is no longer a bird imprisoned indoors.


    She visits Song¡¯s mansion, but the vigorous mansion before is sealed, and there is nobody in it. She tries to climb over the wall, but in vain.


    Just when she stands in front of the door and has no idea what to do, a clear voice comes from behind.


    ¡°Are you Mandy?¡±


    She turns around, and sees a very young man standing behind her who is a head taller than her with the childish face. Mandy thinks he looks familiar, but she can¡¯t remember where they have met at once. So she asks, ¡°You... Are you?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m Young. We used to play together when we were young!¡± His tone sounds somewhat enthusiastic.


    But Mandy¡¯s face becomes as cold as marble in an instant.


    Young, the second elder son of Ji¡¯s family, lives abroad all the year round.


    For Mandy, he is not a stranger. After all, he has another identity, a childhood friend of Charlie.


    When she was young, she often chased behind Charlie. She didn¡¯t know how many times she had met Young. She has no prejudice of Young before, but the situation is different right now. She and Charlie become enemies.


    As for the enemy¡¯s friend, although she doesn¡¯t hate him, she doesn¡¯t want to have too much contact with him.


    While she thinks, Mandy turns around and starts to leave.


    But Young doesn¡¯t understand what she means at once, runs after her and shouts, ¡°Mandy, you really don¡¯t remember me? It is impossible.¡±This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.


    Listening to his ceaseless chattering, Mandy feels very tired. She stops suddenly, looks back at him with a fierce look and finally says, ¡°Don¡¯t follow me any more!¡±


    ¡°?¡± Young also stops and looks at her so confusedly.


    Mandy continues to say, ¡°I know you are Young, a friend of Charlie. So, don¡¯t bother me any more.¡±


    Young is stunned by her undisguised disgust in her eyes. Then he remembers what Charlie has done to Song¡¯s family before, and immediately stands there in embarrassment.


    When Mandy finds that he stops asking, she is very satisfied, turns around and starts to leave again.


    But Young catches up with her again in a few seconds and stops in front of her. He bows with the lost expression and apologizes, ¡°Sorry, it is not intentional just now.¡±


    ¡°So, you can get away in a hurry.¡± Mandy raises her eyebrows and speaks out harsh words.


    However, Young doesn¡¯t move at all. He raises his face to look at her and says earnestly, ¡°I know I am a friend of Charlie, so you are quite uncomfortable with me. But at the same time, I am also the younger generation of  Uncle Song, your childhood playmate.¡±


    ¡°Playmate?¡± Mandy seems to have heard a funny joke with some mockery in her eyes. ¡°If it weren¡¯t Charlie, how could I know you? But as for me right now, I regret more that I knew Charlie before.¡±


    If Charlie and Mandy haven¡¯t known each other at first, nothing will happen now.


    It is the retribution for the sin.


    Young thinks that Mandy in front of him is quite different from her childhood. In his memory, Mandy seems to be the little smiling girl who follows behind them.


    But Young can see nothing from her except hostility now.


    But is it her fault? She is also the one whose family is ruined.


    Young sighs, takes out a business card from his bag and hands it to Mandy and says, ¡°If you need any help, you can call me, and I will try my best to help you.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t need that kind of thing!¡± Mandy shouts almost subconsciously.


    ¡°It will be useful someday.¡±


    After saying that, Young directly puts the business card into Mandy¡¯s hand and goes past her without saying any words.


    Looking at the business card in her hand, Mandy¡¯s eyes become glassy for a long time. She wants to throw it away. But the hand hesitates for a long time in midair and eventually falls down.


    Young, right? He is a good friend of Charlie, isn¡¯t he?


    ¡°In that case, I accept your kindness, and please accept my malevolence as much as possible.¡±


    While Mandy thinks, she raises her feet to go forward.


    The wind blows slowly, bringing the fragrance of flos sophorae.


    Welcome to read chapter 15 - You Fail Me First</a> on Flying Lines.

 C15. You Fail Me First

    Mandy visits Song¡¯s old mansion and then the prison. When she looks at Hayes who becomes older, she is unable to control the tears. Hayes doesn¡¯t say a word about the family hatred as if he has no idea what has happened outside at all. But when Mandy wants to leave, his old voice comes.


    He says, ¡°Mandy, leave here and start a new life. Daddy becomes old. I really don¡¯t want to be a burden on you.¡±


    Hayes, who has built great businesses for many years, admits and accepts his old age in face of his daughter at this moment after all.


    The wind outside the prison is very strong, that blows the sand into Mandy¡¯s eyes. Then she rubs her eyes. The next second she sees a car parked in front of her. That¡¯s the car of Charlie, which she has taken heaps of times.


    The window is opened. Then Charlie¡¯s indifferent face appears in front of her eyes and he orders coldly, ¡°Get on the car.¡±


    Mandy has never thought that Charlie will come here. She is stunned at first, and then she opens the door and gets in. The windows are closed, the wind is cut off from the outside, and there is a silence in the car. Mandy says first, ¡°You follow me.¡±


    It¡¯s not an interrogative sentence, but an affirmative sentence.


    ¡°The host is always not at ease, when the bird is released in the first day.¡±


    Charlie¡¯s voice is very calm, but Mandy¡¯s face becomes pale in an instant. She has never thought that Charlie considers her as a pet now.


    But the paler she looks, the more she hates him.


    She winks her eyes and says, ¡°Since it¡¯s a bird, it¡¯s always going to fly.¡±


    ¡°Fly? Does she really think she has wings?¡± Charlie sneers and speaks frankly, ¡°I don¡¯t care what Hayes says to you. But as long as you dare to leave here, I dare to kill Hayes.¡±Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.


    Hayes is the wing of Mandy, who is her weakness that can be controlled firmly by Charlie.


    Mandy believes he has the ability to kill Hayes, so she has been here for so long time. Hayes is only the relative of her in the world, so she can¡¯t lose him again.


    When she thinks of it, Mandy raises her eyes, stares at Charlie and says, ¡°I won¡¯t leave.¡±


    Charlie¡¯s heart just surges with a trace of complacency, and then Mandy says, ¡°Because I haven¡¯t seen you die yet.¡±


    The trace of complacency in his heart is extinguished suddenly. The man¡¯s face seems to be covered with ice and snow. He stares at Mandy and says, stressing each syllable, ¡°I can bear what you say once, but it doesn¡¯t mean I can bear you twice. Mandy, enough is enough!¡±


    When hearing that, Mandy isn¡¯t afraid at all and responds by asking, ¡°What if I can¡¯t?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not up to you.¡± Charlie reaches out and pinches her cheek, pressing her with the very tough attitude. ¡°Mandy, you lose for a long time. You lose when you fall in love with me. The loser is not qualified to speak, let alone shout.¡±


    Do I lose when I fall in love with you?


    Mandy mutters that sentence in her heart. Suddenly her eyes light up and she says, ¡°What if I don¡¯t love you?¡±


    Her words make Charlie a little stunned for a while. His eyes narrow dangerously and he asks, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°Are you stupid?¡± There is the mockery in Mandy¡¯s eyes, ¡°I said I don¡¯t love you any more, Charlie, I don¡¯t love you any more. So, I won¡¯t lose any more. I¡¯ll win you.¡±


    He is stunned at first, and then sneers, ¡°Mandy, so what? You¡¯re a loser now. You are a nobody without the support of Song¡¯s family.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m Mandy, the daughter of Hayes.¡± Mandy says with great confidence. ¡°There will never be the word of ¡®lose¡¯ in my family. Charlie, you fail me first. So, I will get those debts back from you.¡±


    Mandy¡¯s firmness makes Charlie¡¯s heart trembling. At this moment, he even begins to thinks whether he fails Mandy and really owes to her or not.


    ¡°Fail¡± is really a word with many meanings, but it has never been a word with good meanings. It represents that he is inconstant in love and isn¡¯t serious about his commitments.


    But soon, Charlie comes back to his senses, sneers and says, ¡°If you can do that, just do that. But I remind you not to delude Young. If anything happens to him, I¡¯ll never let you go.¡±


    Welcome to read chapter 16 - He Is Just Like Jing Ke</a> on Flying Lines.

 C16. He Is Just Like Jing Ke

    Proofread by Peter Gong


    What Charlie says makes Mandy absent-minded for a moment. She looks at him and laughs, ¡°Charlie, do you know you do always say that? When Vivi had an accident, you told me that you wouldn¡¯t let me go, but you married me in a second. I was really naive at that time. I thought you just said that casually, but I didn¡¯t know you had planned it for so long.¡±


    When Mandy mentions the past, Charlie also recalls that with the heavy mood for no reason.


    But Mandy doesn¡¯t care about him and continues to say, ¡°So you just said that if I disturb Young, you won¡¯t let me go. I believe that. But, so what? You think that I won¡¯t do because you don¡¯t allow me to do that?¡±


    ¡°Mandy!¡± Charlie is really angry. He raises his hand and wants to slap her. But when he sees that she stubbornly lifts her face, he suddenly loses the courage to slap her.


    Charlie puts his hand down again and suddenly feels that it is meaningless to argue with her about that. He looks at Mandy and says in a slight contemptuous tone, ¡°If you can disturb him, just try it.¡±


    As his good friend, he knows about Young. Living abroad for so many years, Young isn¡¯t simple because he can survive in such a chaotic family, although he looks pure and kind in appearance.


    Young went to the United States for study many years ago. It is the exile rather than studying abroad. After all, the eldest brother of Ji¡¯s family, 20 years older than him begins to work in Ji¡¯s company when he is young. The patriarch of Ji has health problems in the past two years. And he is dying by rumors. Now the reason that Young suddenly returns home from abroad can be easily understood.The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    Charlie has never gained an insight into his good friend Young. But he believes that Young won¡¯t be made use by Mandy. First, he is Young who is his friend. Second, he has almost no contact with Mandy at all times.


    Charlie is confident of this.


    Seeing Charlie stop mocking her so quickly, Mandy is stunned and then stops talking.


    Her impression of Young is not good, but it is not bad, either. She has a few memories of her childhood. And in her latest memory, Young is nice.


    Mandy finds that Young has the same foolishness like in her past.


    But she has no idea whether she will really make use of Young or not, even if he is a friend of Charlie.


    While Mandy is thinking, Charlie takes out the mobile, throws it at her and says with the consistent cold voice, ¡°You hold your own former mobile. It¡¯s convenient for me to contact with you.¡±


    Looking at the mobile, Mandy comes back to her senses and says sarcastically all of a sudden, ¡°Is President Jiang afraid that I will run away, isn¡¯t he? You install specially a tracking system in this mobile?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no need.¡± Charlie says coldly, ¡°You dare not.¡±


    When Mandy hears that, she is stunned at first and then says with a bitter smile, ¡°Yes, I dare not.¡±


    Everyone has weaknesses. Charlie is her weakness before, but now Hayes is her weakness. So, she can¡¯t and dare not run away because Charlie is grabbing at her Achilles¡¯ heel.


    At this time, Mandy finds that sometimes men have more talents in acting than women. Charlie of the past is like Jing Ke, a Chinese ancient assassin. He slowly unfolds the magnificent picture scroll in his hands. At the end of it, there must be a dagger that can directly pierce her heart.


    Mandy is once stabbed by that dagger. So, she won¡¯t forget the pain when the scar is healed.


    No, it should be said that her scar hasn¡¯t recovered so far. What Charlie does for her is like a strong poison sprayed on her scar. She is suffering from piercing pain every day, but the scar isn¡¯t healed after all.

 C18. I Want a Child

    Vivi hears the sound of Charlie¡¯s car, and goes to the door to receive him but finds that he doesn¡¯t look well. She hesitates for a moment and then asks, ¡°What''s wrong with you, Charlie?¡±


    ¡°Nothing.¡± Charlie takes a look at her and then says, ¡°I go to the study. There are still some things to be dealt with.¡±


    Knowing that he is unwilling to say more, Vivi doesn¡¯t force him to say. When she sees him disappear on the stairs, her eyes which are tender and soft as water before gradually become insidious.


    Since her marriage, her relationship with Charlie seems to be getting more deteriorative. That isn¡¯t what she wants. She has endured many things and concealed her identity for three years. She wants to be the real Mrs. Jiang, not the nominal Mrs. Jiang.


    In the study, Charlie stares at the documents on the desk, but his mind is never on them.


    Since Mandy has fallen into the sea that day, his brain also seems to be flooded, otherwise he won¡¯t think of her in mind many times. She is like a leech suddenly crawling into his mind, deeply bewildering his thoughts.


    He thinks of Mandy when he stays in the office or drives. In the study, it¡¯s easier for him to think of Mandy. Because the study is their bedroom once, and the air seems to be still permeated with the smell of Mandy.


    Charlie involuntarily closes his eyes, and the smell seems to become more intense.


    But just then, there is a gentle knock on the door. He suddenly opens his eyes, scolds himself inwardly and says, ¡°Please come in.¡±A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    It is Vivi who comes in. She walks over with a gentle expression and says, ¡°Charlie, time for dinner.¡±


    ¡°Well.¡± He closes the folders in his hands, stands up and prepares to go out. When seeing Vivi sit on the sofa not far away, he is stunned, then walks over, takes her hand and asks softly, ¡°Vivi, you have something in mind?¡±


    Vivi¡¯s gentle expression turns to be a little dejected. She opens her lips and tries to speak but stops on a second thought, ¡°Charlie, I...¡±


    ¡°Just say it. I¡¯m your husband.¡± Charlie holds her in his arms and gently reassures her.


    Then Vivi says slowly, ¡°My mother came here this afternoon.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good. You haven¡¯t been here for three years. Now you should spend more time with her.¡± Charlie approves of her.


    Vivi looks at him and then says, ¡°My mother has worried about me for the whole life. She is old now. So, she feels delighted when I have a good marriage. But she is old, and she always wants to have a grandson to take care of.¡±


    Vivi feels extremely shy when she says the last sentence. Charlie has never thought that she suddenly talks about that. He is stunned at once, and then, he wants to refuse unconsciously. But he thinks it over before he says, ¡°Vivi, you haven¡¯t been with me for three years. You just come back right now. I haven¡¯t enjoyed much of lovers¡¯ world.¡±


    Vivi immediately understands the resistance of Charlie¡¯s words, and her eyes immediately turn red. She draws her hands back from Charlie¡¯s hands and sobs, ¡°Don¡¯t you... Don¡¯t you want to have a child with me?


    ¡°How can it be?¡± Charlie quickly vetoes her, ¡°Vivi, you are the woman that I love the most. If I don¡¯t have a child with you, who do I choose?¡±


    ¡°But... But I really want a child.¡± Vivi whispers, ¡°Charlie, I have such an unreal life these days, I¡¯m afraid... I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll disappear in a blink of an eye... I want a child who has our blood... It¡¯s the witness of our love...¡±


    Charlie can¡¯t ignore Vivi¡¯s tears from the past to the present. His heart aches. Before he says something, he feels a hand caressing him slowly.


    Then he hears Vivi¡¯s voice, the crying voice with a trace of seduction.


    She says, ¡°Darling, love me.¡±

 C19. Good People haven’t A Long Life

    Each person in the world deserves to be the father of her child expect Charlie. If I really have his child, I would not give birth to the child!


    There is the undoubted firmness in Mandy¡¯s words. Young is stunned at first, then he says, ¡°I promise, I will not tell anyone about the child, especially Charlie.¡±


    His commitment is really important for Mandy. She smiles and says sincerely, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Mandy is afraid to take the pregnancy tester home. After buying it at the pharmacy, she goes into a coffee shop with Young. She confirmed that she is pregnant in the restroom.


    At that moment, she suddenly wants to laugh. In fact, she really laughs.


    During her three-year marriage, she has thought that she has a baby with Charlie countless times. But at that time, he always says that she is young and it is not good to be a mother at her young age. Now she and Charlie have long been enemies, but she has the child of Charlie.


    This is the jest of God or the retribution of Charlie.


    Mandy has not thought for a long time, but she knows clearly that she can¡¯t give birth to the child. Although he isn¡¯t born and hasn¡¯t yet seen the world, his body has the same blood with Charlie.


    He is an inborn sinner, so she can¡¯t give birth to him.


    Mandy calms down in the restroom before he goes out. Young still waits there not far away, looking quiet and reliable.If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    The thoughts of people are really complicated and strange. One may be regarded with suspicion by others not long ago, but others may feel that one is reliable. That is to say, Mandy and Charlie have been in love with each other for many years, but it just takes a second for them to be enemies.


    Seeing her come over and sit down, Young asks, ¡°How are you?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m pregnant.¡± Mandy doesn¡¯t want to conceal it from him.


    Although he knows that she is likely to be pregnant before, he is still stunned and then confirms, ¡°Don¡¯t you really want to give birth to the child?¡±


    ¡°Yes, no.¡± Mandy answers without hesitation at all. ¡°He has the same blood with the sinner. That¡¯s the blood of Charlie.¡±


    ¡°But he is also your child. I don¡¯t want you to regret it.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t regret it. I¡¯ve always known what I¡¯m going to do.¡± Mandy looks at him with a serious look. ¡°Charlie is not a good person, but you are, so you shouldn¡¯t make friends with him.¡±


    This is the first time that Young has heard that he is a good man, especially from Mandy¡¯s mouth.


    He feels a little happy, but doesn¡¯t want to show it too much. So, he smiles and says, ¡°Thank you very much for giving me such a big compliment.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome. You deserve it.¡±


    As soon as Mandy stops, Young asks her, ¡°What about you? Do you want to be a good person?¡±


    ¡°I? I don¡¯t want to.¡± Mandy says, ¡°Good people haven¡¯t a long life. I want to live for a long time. Because I want to see Charlie be defeated in front of me and I want to see him die.¡±


    Young is stunned by Mandy¡¯s each word. If Mandy doesn¡¯t give birth to the child of Charlie because she divorced Charlie, why does Mandy say those now?


    While he is thinking, Mandy smiles and says with some regret, ¡°It seems that it¡¯s not good to talk about him in front of you. You two are still friends after all.¡±


    ¡°Nothing.¡± Young came back to his mind. ¡°I¡¯m just more curious. What happened to you and Charlie?¡±


    ¡°What happened?¡± Mandy muttered, losing his focus for a moment. ¡°If anything really happened, it¡¯s probably that I¡¯ve been living in a conspiracy all these years.¡±


    Mandy¡¯s vision gradually restored to its normal state. She looked at Young and said earnestly, ¡°A three-year conspiracy Jiang Yicheng has planned, a conspiracy to push me into hell.¡±

 C20. It Is His Turn to Be Damned

    Young has never thought that he would hear of those things. That is to say, he has never thought that there are so many things that happened between Mandy and Charlie. He thinks of her words and quickly catches the key point, ¡°Three years? What happened three years ago?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a long story, and I really don¡¯t want to tell you. Fortunately, I climb up from hell, now it¡¯s Charlie¡¯s turn to be damned.¡± Mandy spreads her wrist with an ugly scar. ¡°Twice, I¡¯ve already been dead twice, so it¡¯s his turn to die now.¡±


    When Young sees the shocking scar, he loses his tongue. Mandy¡¯s voice is peaceful from beginning to end. But the more peaceful she is, the more uneasy Young feels.


    But he doesn¡¯t intend to ask more questions. He comes back right now, so there are so many ways for him to find out the truth. Nothing can be kept secret forever in this world, let alone in a small sea city.


    After separating from Young, Mandy directly returns home. The deaf-mute housekeeper has gone, leaving a steaming meal in the kitchen. Mandy looks at it, suddenly feels nauseous, rushes into the restroom and vomits.


    When the bile is almost out, the sense of nausea that Mandy feels finally diminishes a lot. After rinsing her mouth, she sees Charlie sitting on the sofa as soon as she gets out of the restroom.


    He looks a little serious.


    Mandy¡¯s heart trembles and all kinds of ominous presentiment come out in her mind.


    Does he know she is pregnant? What does he want to do for being here?This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.


    Mandy¡¯s heart beats faster, and Charlie seems to notice that she is looking at him. He turns his head and meets her eyes. She is stunned, and then she says first, ¡°Why are you here?¡±


    ¡°This is my house. I can¡¯t come?¡± Charlie stands up from the sofa and fixedly stares at her.


    The sense of oppression comes from all sides. Mandy pretends to be calm, but involuntarily holds her hands. Perhaps because of the child, she has some inexplicable guilt, avoiding the eyes of Charlie, and says: ¡°Anyway, I still have something to do. Please help yourself.¡±


    She doesn¡¯t want to stay in the same space with Charlie, because she feels sick when looking at his face.


    Mandy is grabbed by Charlie as soon as she takes the bag on the table and wants to leave. She is shackled to the side because of his great strength. And there is gloom in his eyes.


    He says, ¡°Mandy, what do you want to do? You rush to go into prostitution?¡±


    ¡°What did you say?¡± Mandy frowns and her voice gradually cools down.


    Charlie, however, ignores her words and directly grabs Mandy¡¯s bag, and then drops everything on the ground. The envelope with the money is opened, then countless pink banknotes fly and fall at their feet in an instant.


    Charlie looks at the banknotes on the ground and says coldly, ¡°How did you get the money?¡±


    ¡°It is none of your business.¡± Mandy stares at Charlie with the unchanged look.


    Charlie just feels that her eyes are really dazzling, and wants to tear her apart. An hour ago, he received a picture in which Young gave Mandy money in his office. The unknown sender told him that Mandy sold her body for money to Young.


    At that moment, Charlie is nearly crazy. It seems that his chest is torn apart by a wolf¡¯s claw, and the strong wind pours into it. Then when he rushes over here and stays downstairs, he sees Young sending Mandy back.


    The scene of their talk and laugh makes him angry.


    While thinking, Charlie¡¯s eyes are more profound. He ruthlessly looks at Mandy and says, stressing each syllable, ¡°I have told you that you¡¯d better keep away from Young.¡±

 C21. I Treat You as the Dog Who Bites Me

    Proofread by Peter Gong


    Charlie¡¯s voice is very cold, and his eyes are even colder.


    Mandy¡¯s hanging heart finally calms down. She thinks that Charlie doesn¡¯t know the existence of the child right now at least. She breathes a sigh of relief and then says, ¡°Charlie, you said that you weren¡¯t afraid of that. Why do you be here now?¡±


    The contempt in Charlie¡¯s tone a few days ago still lingers in her ears, but now his attitude seems to be less relaxed than before. While she thinks, Mandy¡¯s eyes are full of mockery.


    She says, ¡°Isn¡¯t Young your best friend? You believe that I won¡¯t dare to find him? Now, are you afraid? Are you afraid that I really seduce him?¡±


    Mandy¡¯s words pierce straightly Charlie¡¯s heart. He really doesn¡¯t want Mandy to have a relationship with Young, but now he suddenly has no idea whether it is because of Mandy or Young.


    But he doesn¡¯t want to think too much. Because no matter what the result is, he doesn¡¯t allow Mandy to have a relationship with Young.


    Mandy sees that Charlie takes a step forward, and they are very close so far. His smell flows into her nose in an instant, making Mandy¡¯s body involuntarily stiff.


    The man is always dangerous for her. When he draws near, it means that he is more dangerous for her.


    Mandy knows that. So, she wants to go back unconsciously. But when her left foot just recedes a little, Charlie¡¯s hand stretches out directly and holds her in the arms. He approaches her face, looks down at Mandy and says, ¡°Young doesn¡¯t know you are here, right? What will he think if he knows you are still here with me?¡±Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.


    The dense itching from the waist makes Mandy uncomfortable, and Charlie¡¯s words make her a little stunned. She doesn¡¯t tell Young about her current relationship with Charlie, but only because she thinks that it isn¡¯t necessary to tell him.


    Young isn¡¯t her friend. She has no reason to expose her private affairs to him.


    But she doesn¡¯t intend to explain anything in front of Charlie. She stares at him and says frankly, ¡°If you want to tell anything to him, you can just do that. There is no need to threaten me here.¡±


    ¡°Oh? Really?¡± Charlie¡¯s lips show a slight sneer. His hands slide down, and he laughs more when feeling Mandy¡¯s body stiff. He says, ¡°I really want to know what kind of things you can do.¡±


    As for Charlie, what Mandy does is just like a child playing games. She used to be angry and mad, which has been largely classified by him as disobedience of children.


    Sensing the movements of his hands, Mandy can¡¯t keep the calm facial expression. She frowns and unconsciously tries to break away from Charlie¡¯s arms. ¡°I warn you, stop doing that.¡±


    ¡°Warn me?¡± Charlie laughs, looking at Mandy and says, ¡°Don¡¯t forget who you are. It is I who allow you to go out and meet Young. But don¡¯t forget who you are. You aren¡¯t entitled to warn me!¡±


    After saying that, Charlie directly carries her in his arms. ¡°Vivi feels uncomfortable those days. Or, it¡¯s your turn today.¡±


    As soon as his voice falls, Mandy¡¯s face becomes pale out of the sudden.


    She struggles to get rid of him and curses bitterly, ¡°Charlie, you jerk! Stop doing that!¡±


    Seeing her reaction, Charlie feels more pleasure in his heart. He sneers and says, ¡°You¡¯d better listen to me. Maybe, I¡¯ll be gentle later.¡±


    When she hears that, she stops resisting.


    Charlie thinks that she has accepted him, but then he hears Mandy¡¯s voice coming over without a trace of temperature. She says, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I treat you as the dog who bites me.¡±


    Charlie is startled all over. The anger in his heart is finally ignited by Mandy¡¯s words. He kicks directly the bedroom¡¯s door, throws Mandy on the bed and lays on her.


    ¡°I¡¯ll let you know the feeling of being fucked by the dog today.¡±

 C22. You Are Not Entitled to Do That

    Proofread by Peter Gong


    The sexual love is more furious than what Mandy imagines. Every action of the man carries great violence. When he finishes venting, Mandy feels that her whole body is about to fall apart.


    She doesn¡¯t want to move, looking at the ceiling with glassy eyes like the dead.


    Charlie looks at her, licks his lips satisfied and says, ¡°Mandy, it¡¯s your business that you can do anything you want. But you¡¯d better not overdo something, otherwise I won¡¯t let you go as easily as today.¡±


    Mandy doesn¡¯t want to talk to him, and her eyes still stare at the ceiling without blinks.


    She is silent, and Charlie takes out a card from his pocket and puts it on the bedside table. ¡°I put the supplementary card here. You can buy anything you want. Give the money back to Young.¡±


    Although he doesn¡¯t know why Young gives money to Mandy, he doesn¡¯t believe what the unknown sender says. It¡¯s impossible for Young to have any physical transaction with Mandy anyway.


    But even though he believes that, he still feels bad as if there were a thorn in his heart.


    Charlie¡¯s words finally make Mandy respond to him. She slightly turns the head, looks at the shining Visa Infinite on the table, and raises her eyes to Charlie who stands by the bed. A cold smile gradually rises in the corners of her mouth.


    She says, ¡°President Jiang is really generous. I have never thought that I can earn so much money by prostituting myself. But as I say before, I just treat you as the dog who bites me. But unexpectedly the dog who bites me pays for it.¡±Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.


    Mandy says very slowly, but her words are just like swords that stab him.


    Charlie¡¯s facial expression suddenly changes.


    He understands the implications in her words. She regards him as a whore-master, or a dog, but never as a person related to her. His fists are clenched tightly, and he feels that the irony in her eyes makes him mad.


    Nobody knows how long it takes before he slowly loosens his fist and breathes deeply. He says, ¡°Mandy, if you think you are a prostitute, I can say nothing more. I put the money here as if I pay you for the rest of your life.¡±


    ¡°Sex traffic. You prostitute yourself to me, and I give you the money in return.¡±


    Charlie thinks that the woman is really crazy, and what is more terrible is that he goes out of his mind with her.


    ¡°The rest of my life? Charlie, you wish!¡± Mandy coldly looks at him and suddenly says, ¡°But what you say before reminds me of a thing, that Vivi probably doesn¡¯t know you have done so many things with me.¡±


    When Mandy mentions Vivi, Charlie asks with the stiff facial expression, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°You have waited to marry her for so many years. You are willing to destroy Song¡¯s family for her sake, but you are still not satisfied and let me stay here without telling her.¡± When Mandy mentions the past, she suddenly smiles. ¡°You and I have been in love for three years. So, don¡¯t you be afraid that Vivi will doubt you when you have affairs with me right now?¡±


    It is Charlie¡¯s selfish desire to let Mandy stay here. He always tells Vivi that he doesn¡¯t want to let Mandy go so easily, but what he does to Mandy has already exceeded the bottom line.


    He indeed tortures her, but at the same time he takes possession of her again and again. Charlie doesn¡¯t want to admit that he isn¡¯t faithful to Vivi.


    Vivi and he have been in love for so many years. The love can¡¯t be changed because of Mandy!


    While Charlie is thinking, a trace of anger appears on his face. He gives a fierce glance at Mandy and warns, ¡°If you dare to say anything to her, I won¡¯t let you go.¡±


    ¡°I think you don¡¯t let me go now.¡± Mandy sarcastically looks at him. ¡°Charlie, it¡¯s not the ancient China now. You aren¡¯t entitled to have several sexual partners.¡±


    What¡¯s more, she isn¡¯t his sexual partner.

 C23. Someone Looked up to You

    Charlie feels that he is trapped in a blind alley and can¡¯t find a way out. Obviously, he should give up Mandy and keep the relationship between Vivi and him. But, he is unable to do that.


    That night, what Mandy says still echoes in his ears, and the cynical look in her eyes constantly lingers in his mind. He feels upset, and then the door is suddenly knocked.


    Cleaning the annoyance that shouldn¡¯t be in his eyes, Charlie restores to his calmness and shouts, ¡°Come in.¡±


    The visitor is Young.


    Charlie is stunned at first. Then he stands up, walks towards Young and asks, ¡°Why do you come here?¡±


    ¡°I deal with something near here and remember that your company is here. So, I drop in. Don¡¯t you welcome me?¡± Young smiles with natural and graceful eyes.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t I welcome you? I just thought that you fall in love with someone lately.¡± Charlie deliberately entertains him when he recalls the photos.


    Young still smiles and says with the unchanged look, ¡°I don¡¯t fall in love with someone lately. But it¡¯s you who just married a beautiful wife.¡±


    Charlie has observed him all the time. When he sees that Young looks normal, he has no idea why he is a little relieved. He also laughs and says, ¡°If you want to get married, I can introduce someone to you. The second daughter of Wen¡¯s family is pretty good.¡±


    ¡°¡°No, no, I just came back. I want to have a secluded life for some days.¡± Young refuses constantly, then changes the subject, ¡°Have you finished your work? Are you free to go out for drinks?The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    ¡°Well, wait for me. I¡¯ll be ready in a minute.¡±


    When Young leaves Jiang¡¯s company, it¡¯s not completely dark outside. Young gets into Charlie¡¯s car, and they drive to the bar street. They talk and laugh on the way. When they arrive there, it¡¯s completely dark and the bar street presents a scene of feasting and revelry.


    After drinking a glass of wine, Young can¡¯t help recalling the past. He talks about some interesting things in his childhood, and then he talks about Mandy. Charlie has never thought that Young would suddenly talk about her, and is stunned for a moment.


    Feeling that Charlie is unnatural, Young meditates and says frankly, ¡°I¡¯ve met her once before. She doesn¡¯t have a good life. Although Song¡¯scompany is bankrupt now, she shouldn¡¯t have such a life.¡±


    Young deliberately tells Charlie about that. He wonders what attitude the man in front of him has towards Mandy. He knew the answer and what happened three years ago yesterday.


    He doesn¡¯t believe that Mandy is that sort of person. Although she likes Charlie, she won¡¯t kill someone for him at all. But obviously, Charlie doesn¡¯t believe that, otherwise those things won¡¯t be like today.


    When Young sees that Charlie is a little stunned, the coldness appears in his eyes and disappears soon. He takes a sip of ¡°Manhattan¡± in the hands and says slowly, ¡°She can¡¯t live a good life after the bankruptcy of Song¡¯s company.¡±


    Young frowns when he hears that, ¡°But anyway, she is your ex-wife and grew up with us at the young age.¡±


    ¡°You told me once when I got married.¡± Charlie looks at him and laughs, ¡°Young, there are so many past things that you don¡¯t know. So, listen to me. Ignore others¡¯ own business.¡±


    Young comes to Charlie today for the purpose of sounding out his intention. Now he won¡¯t say anything about Mandy after Charlie expresses his opinions. He responds to Charlie. Since he is so ruthless about Mandy, he doesn¡¯t need to worry him too much.


    No one knows that Mandy has always been the white moonlight in Young¡¯s heart.


    Mandy doesn¡¯t know that, and Charlie doesn¡¯t know, either.


    In Charlie¡¯s opinion, Young and Mandy have no relations except playing together several times in their childhood. What¡¯s more, Young has been in the United States all the time without coming back.


    But life is wonderful and interesting.When you look up to the other, there is someone who secretly looks up to you.


    Mandy looks up to Charlie. And Young looks up to Mandy. That are the connections among them.

 C24. A life That Sinks Into the Worst Situation

    After that day, Mandy often receives Young¡¯s calls. His concern touches her, but she is startled at the same time. After all, she and Young don¡¯t have much interaction in her eyes.


    She forgets almost their things of childhood now. So, she can only regard Young as a good person, a real good person, and doesn¡¯t think of him from other aspects.


    And in those days, her vomiting during pregnancy has become more and more obvious. She vomits while she smells the smell of cooking and meals and sometimes even without any reason.


    Several times she sees the deaf-mute housekeeper looking at her with a strange look. At that moment, Mandy decides that she can¡¯t put off again, otherwise sooner or later Charlie will know that.


    Mandy has no idea whether Charlie wants to have the child or not, but she doesn¡¯t really want him to know the child¡¯s existence.


    One morning, Mandy takes a taxi to the hospital. Because she is afraid that Charlie will send people to follow her, she specially lets the driver go around for a long time before she goes to the hospital. After a series of examinations, Mandy is told that the checklist needs to be signed by her family member.


    Mandy hesitates for a long time before she decides to call Young who seems to be the only person that she can trust in Haicheng City. They have just seen each other several times, but unknowingly she feels intimate with him.Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.


    Young comes here very fast. Unlike the previous times, he wears a business suit as if he has come from some important occasion.


    Mandy is stunned and somewhat embarrassed, she says, ¡°I bother you too many times!¡±


    ¡°Nothing.¡± Young smiles. ¡°I¡¯ll accompany you to sign it.¡±


    With Young¡¯s help, everything goes smoothly. But when Mandy lies on the cold operating table, her heart, which she thought it wouldn¡¯t tremble, suddenly feels the sense of uncertainty.


    Is that really what she wants?


    Does she really have an abortion?


    The child is only a month old. It has no heartbeat at all. But at this moment, Mandy suddenly feels that they are connected by flesh and blood. It is just a piece of meat, but she feels so sad.


    When the doctor with the anesthetic needle finds that she is absent-minded, he asks, ¡°Ms. Song, it isn¡¯t late to regret for you. When I give the injection, everything will be late.¡±


    Mandy doesn¡¯t want to give birth to the child. The child is a burdenfor her now.


    If Charlie doesn¡¯t want the child, it doesn¡¯t matter. But if he wants the child, then he has one more additional means of threatening her.


    Mandy closes the eyes, and says with the calm voice after a while, ¡°No, let¡¯s just do as we agreed before.¡±


    She mustn¡¯t have any relationship with Charlie any more.


    I¡¯m sorry.


    Mandy says in her heart, and then she feels the prick of the needle in her skin.


    At that moment, she realizes that she has become the person she doesn¡¯t want to be, and the gut-wrenching feelings in her body constantly torture her. Mandy thinks that life is really terrible, which always makes everything be destroyed easily one day.


    How she wished to have her own child with Charlie, and how she doesn¡¯t want to give birth to the child now.


    Mandy feels her consciousness becoming more and more blurred, and then she sinks into the endless darkness.

 C25. That Is My Retribution

    Young stands outside the operating room, and he can¡¯t calm down. Unknowingly, some nurses run over all of a sudden, open the door of the operating room and want to enter it.


    He reacts very fast, grabs the last nurse¡¯s wrist with one hand, and asks hurriedly, ¡°What¡¯s going on inside? Is there something wrong with Mandy?¡±


    ¡°The patient suffered from hemorrhage in surgery. She is now undergoing emergency treatment.¡± When the nurse finishes her words, she shakes off his hand and turns into the operating room. The door is closed again, and Young is stunned there.


    Hemorrhage? Why does that happen? He hasn¡¯t told Mandy his love yet.


    Young¡¯s heart has hung in his throat for two hours.When the red light outside the operating room turns down, the doctor comes out wearily. Young rushes forward and asks, ¡°Doctor, how is she?¡±


    ¡°The patient is all right, but it¡¯s better to remain in hospital under observation for a few days.¡± The doctor says to the nurse beside him, ¡°Send her to the ward first, and observe her body condition in two days.¡±


    ¡°All right, Dr. Ye.¡±


    In the quiet ward, Young sits beside the bed, and his eyes always focus on Mandy on the bed. Her face is pale and her lips are dry without a trace of blood. The doctor says that she has hemorrhage because of uterine injury in surgery, so she has to remain in hospital under observation in those days.


    Young is distressed about Mandy. Song¡¯s company is bankrupt before, and she has to suffer so much pain right now. If he can, he really wants to take good care of her in the whole life.


    When he is a little boy, he knows that Mandy likes Charlie. So, he loves her silently without telling her. Later, he leaves Haicheng City and goes abroad, but he still dreams of her. Later on, he hears that Mandy finally marries Charlie as she wished. At that moment, he is happy for her, but at the same time he feels sad for himself.This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.


    His fondness for Mandy has already melted into his blood over the years. He helps Mandy¡¯s dream come true, but he can¡¯t forgive himself. Later, he hears that Mandy and Charlie get divorced, so he immediately comes back.


    Human beings always keep the solitary courage.


    Either Mandy in the past or Young in the present.


    While he is thinking about the past, Mandy¡¯s eyelashes tremble, and then she slowly opens her eyes. There is nothing, so she slightly looks to the one side and sees Young sitting beside her.


    She opens her mouth and tries to say, ¡°Young...¡±


    The weak voice calls him back from his thoughts. Young comes to his senses and finds Mandy looking at him. He is startled, and then asks in a hurry, ¡°Mandy, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable?¡±


    Mandy shakes her head and asks, ¡°What time is it now?¡±


    ¡°Three o¡¯clock in the afternoon.¡± Young answers.


    While hearing that, Mandy struggles to get up. But she suddenly feels the pain in her uterus in that instant. She can¡¯t help frowning, and Young hurriedly holds her up, ¡°don¡¯t move! The doctor says that you should take a good rest now.¡±


    ¡°I, I¡¯m all right.¡± Mandy still wants to get up. ¡°It¡¯s too late. I should go back home.¡±


    She knows that if she doesn¡¯t go back before six o¡¯clock, Charlie will know her disappearance.


    But as soon as she finishes her words, Young holds her on the bed and says, ¡°You can¡¯t go back now. There is a little accident in surgery, and the doctor says you still need to remain in hospital under observation in a few days.¡±


    ¡°Accident?¡± Mandy is stunned and asks in a hurry, ¡°What¡¯s the problem?¡±


    ¡°You have hemorrhage because of uterine injury in surgery. But don¡¯t worry, everything is all right now.¡± Young takes a look at her and then says, ¡°You just stay in hospital under observation in a few days now. As long as you are okay, you will be discharged immediately, okay?¡±


    Uterine injury? Hemorrhage?


    When Mandy hears those strange words, her heart completely sinks down.


    Is that her retribution? Maybe that¡¯s her retribution.


    Suddenly, Mandy laughs bitterly and says to Young beside her, ¡°That may be my retribution.¡±


    The unborn child gives her a hard blow before it leaves the world. At that moment, Mandy suddenly feels out of breath, grasping her chest tightly, laughs and cries out, ¡°That¡¯s my retribution!¡±

 C27. It Is His Territory

    Charlie is upset all day. He always feels that something bad will happen today. As expected, he receives a call from the staff in Mandy¡¯s community at about six o¡¯clock, saying that Mandy has never come back since she went out in the morning.


    Charlie tries to call her several times, but nobody answers. Just as his anger is about to burst, he receives a call from Young, saying that Young wants to meet him and talk about something with him.


    When he arrives at the prescribed place, he knows that Young wants to talk about Mandy.


    Looking at Young with the angry face in front of him, Charlie only feels very upset and says unhappily, ¡°You come to me today just for the sake of Mandy? Does she tell you anything?¡±


    ¡°I know everything.¡± Young looks at the familiar face in front of him and says coldly, ¡°I really don¡¯t know you are such a person. You and Mandy have divorced. Why do you still torture her?¡±


    ¡°Torture?¡± Charlie¡¯s eyes are filled with a slight mockery, ¡°That is what she tells you?¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter who says that. It¡¯s important that you should let her go.¡± Young ignores the mockery in his eyes and says frankly.


    ¡°Why do I let her go?¡± Charlie frowns and stares at Young in front of him.


    ¡°Why? You ask me the reason?¡± Young grabs Charlie¡¯s collar and shouts at him fiercely, ¡°You and Mandy have divorced. You aren¡¯t entitled to control her now!¡±


    Charlie moves Young¡¯s hands off the collar band and smooths the fold. Then he says calmly, ¡°I¡¯m not entitled? I¡¯m entitled to do everything in Haicheng City.¡±


    After Cheng¡¯s bankruptcy, the whole Haicheng City becomes Charlie¡¯s territory. In Haicheng City, he is the king, and everyone is his subject. It is his territory, so he has the right to control the life and death of those who live here.


    While hearing that, Young¡¯s anger reaches its acme. He stares at the man in front of him, grits his teeth and asks, ¡°Charlie, are you sure you want to do that?¡±Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    ¡°Of course.¡± Charlie answers without thinking. ¡°Mandy wanted to kill Vivi in those days, so she brings trouble to herself now. I¡¯ve always sought revenge for the smallest grievance. You should know that because we have known each other for so long.¡±


    While hearing that he mentions Vivi, Young suddenly sneers and says, ¡°Yes, I have known you for so long. I know that you must seek revenge for the smallest grievance. But Charlie, I beg you to think about it with your brain. How many years have you known Mandy? Will she really be the person you talk about?¡±


    How many years have you known Mandy? Will she really be the person you talk about?


    Young¡¯s words echo in his mind, and Charlie¡¯s heart suddenly stagnates for a second. Mandy and he have known each other for twenty years. In his memory, Mandy is a shy and reticent girl.


    Few people can believe that Mandy will hurt others.


    But that day, only Mandy and Vivi were on the deck. If it wasn¡¯t Mandy who pushed Vivi, he couldn¡¯t come up with a reason why Vivi fell into the sea.


    What¡¯s more, Vivi also told him that it was Mandy who pushed her into the sea after three years.


    While thinking about that, Charlie¡¯s doubt is soothed, and then he becomes surer of his suspicion. He looks at Young and says, stressing each syllable, ¡°But the fact was that Mandy really wanted to kill Vivi. In the past three years, Vivi not only lost her memory, but also had a very hard life. Fortunately, Vivi restored her memory and remembered me, otherwise, what Mandy has done to her has turned into a pile of bones.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s Vivi again. You believe everything she says?¡± Young looks at Charlie and says angrily, ¡°You have never thought that it is she who deceives you? You are so sure that everything she says is true?¡±


    ¡°She doesn¡¯t lie to me.¡± Charlie answers without delay.


    While seeing that Charlie refuses the persuasion,Young suddenly laughs and says, ¡°Charlie, you are really pitiable, you know? There was someone who loved you so much, but you were not satisfied.¡±


    Charlie¡¯s heart is quivered by Young¡¯s words. But in a moment, he comes to his senses and says to Young, ¡°I don¡¯t want to discuss these silly topics with you any more. Where is Mandy? I want to see her.¡±


    ¡°She doesn¡¯t want to see you now.¡± Young says frankly.


    ¡°Whether she sees me or not isn¡¯t up to her.¡± Charlie glances at Young in front of him. ¡°You¡¯d better tell me where she is. You know, I¡¯m able to find her as long as she is still in Haicheng City. You don¡¯t want that the things about her and me will make such a big noise and be known by those journalists, right? Public opinions must hurt her again like the sword.¡±


    Young clearly understands the threat in Charlie¡¯s words. Although he doesn¡¯t want to admit that, he knows that what Charlie says is true. This is Haicheng City, Charlie¡¯s territory.


    Although he is resentful, he says, ¡°St. Mary Hospital. Mandy is there now.¡±


    Hospital?


    Hearing that word, Charlie¡¯s heart trembles. He wants to ask something, but he doesn¡¯t say anything at last. He rises from the chair and goes out.


    He wants to know what Mandy is doing.

 C28. I Wouldn’t Like to Know You

    Proofread by Peter Gong


    In the ward on the 21st floor of St. Mary¡¯s hospital, Mandy is looking at the drops in the medicine bottle. A quarter of an hour ago, she received a call from Young, saying that Charlie is coming to the hospital.


    Although Mandy knows that she can¡¯t hide the child from Charlie, her heart still trembles. When Young apologizes to her on the phone, Mandy comforts him in turn.


    It¡¯s none of Young¡¯s business, but now he is involved in it. So, it is she who should say sorry.


    Mandy feels that she is just like a prisoner waiting to be executed on the execution ground at this moment, only waiting for Charlie¡¯s final decision. Maybe because she has gone through so many things, she can calmly wait for Charlie.


    She deliberately counts the time. After twenty-seven minutes after she receives Young¡¯s call, Charlie comes in from outside. He is covered with coldness, and his face looks angry.


    While seeing Mandy, Charlie says immediately, ¡°I told you to be honest. But why do you disobey me?¡±


    His voice is very fierce as if he said without a trace of emotion.


    When Mandy hears that, there is ridicule in her eyes. She sneers, ¡°Why should I obey you? What else can you do except threatening me with my daddy?¡±


    As if Mandy touches his sore spot, a trace of anger appears on Charlie¡¯s face. He looks down at Mandy lying on the bed and says, ¡°What kind of relationship you have with Young?¡±


    He is always thinking about the relationship between Young and Mandy along the way.This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.


    Young¡¯s attitude before makes him very uncomfortable. He knows the meaning of Young¡¯s expressions too well and Young must have unusual feelings for Mandy, otherwise, Young wouldn¡¯t hurl a question at him for her sake.


    But he doesn¡¯t know when Young falls in love with Mandy.


    He has only come back for a month, and he only meets Mandy twice. It¡¯s too inconceivable for him to fall in love with Mandy. There must be something he doesn¡¯t know. Such guess makes Charlie very uncomfortable.


    Looking at Mandy in front of him, those guesses come to mind again. Obviously, the woman belongs to him even if he doesn¡¯t want her. But now what does Young want to do?


    When Charlie asks about her relationship with Young, Mandy smiles ambiguously and says, ¡°Guess what? What kind of relationship I have with Young?¡±


    Charlie feels angry at the sight of her smile. He grabs her face and says fiercely, ¡°I warn you for the last time, Mandy, don¡¯t challenge my patience.¡±


    His movements are very fierce. In a moment, Mandy feels something coming out of the lower part of the body and the uterus begins to shrink again and again, but she grits her teeth and stubbornly stares at Charlie. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business to know what kind of relationship I have with Young.¡±


    ¡°Mandy! You!¡± Charlie is so angry that he can¡¯t say a word. After a while, he abandons her and sneers, ¡°Very well, Mandy, don¡¯t think that I dare not do anything to you. I tell you...¡±


    Charlie halts, and suddenly finds that Mandy looks abnormal. First of all, her face is extremely pale. It is a kind of morbid pallor. And there are cold sweats running down her forehead. She clenches her teeth, looking terribly miserable.


    At this moment, Charlie is frightened. He hurries up and says in a panicky voice that even he doesn¡¯t notice, ¡°Mandy, Mandy, what¡¯s wrong with you? Talk to me!¡±


    ¡°Jiang, Charlie Jiang...¡± Mandy¡¯s voice is almost squeezed out of the cracks in her teeth. She tightly grasps Charlie¡¯s clothes and says, ¡°If... If I have the next life, I wouldn¡¯t like... wouldn¡¯t like to know you.¡±


    Mandy feels the death in this moment because of the bone-gnawing pain.


    That is really the retribution.


    She has thought that everything will be okay as long as she no longer thinks about death. But she doesn¡¯tknow that life and death aren¡¯t decided by herself.


    My child, that is the retribution that you give me.


    While thinking, Mandy slowly closes her eyes.

 C29. That’s His Child

    Seeing Mandy going off into a faint, Charlie feels really scared. He crazily shouts Mandy¡¯s name, but there is no answer. Just at this time, a nurse passes by the door and rushes into the room when hearing his gut-wrenching cry. She finds that Mandy¡¯s breath is weak and quickly presses the bell.


    When the nurse pulls back Mandy¡¯s quilts, Charlie sees so much blood. The blood blooms on the white sheets, looking like coquettish bloody mandalas by the Santu River.


    The smell of blood grows stronger and stronger in his nose. He stares at the blood, feeling apprehensive. After a while, Charlie suddenly reacts, grabs the nurse¡¯s hand and asks hastily, ¡°What¡¯s the matter with her?¡±


    ¡°Can¡¯t you see the blood? It¡¯s the hemorrhage of the uterus.¡± While observing the Mandy¡¯s physical condition, the nurse says to Charlie unhappily, ¡°You are the family member of the patient? You don¡¯t ring the bell when you find that she is abnormal? You don¡¯t want to let her live on purpose?¡±


    ¡°Uterus... the hemorrhage of the uterus?¡± Charlie mutters those words, and innumerable thoughts suddenly flash across his mind. But the more he thinks about it, the paler he looks. Finally, he asks with hesitation, ¡°Why does she have the uterus hemorrhage?¡±


    ¡°There are the medical records hanging on the bedside. Look at it by yourself.¡±


    As the sound of the nurse¡¯s voice dies away, a group of people rushes in the room. The chief doctor opens Mandy¡¯s eyelids and looks at them, followed by an assistant who orders, ¡°Prepare the operating room, now have surgery.¡±If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    Then he looks at Charlie who stands dully and says, ¡°You are the family member of the patient? Sign the operation agreement.¡±


    Everything goes on in disorder. Charlie is escorted out by the group of people before he tries to see the medical records hanging on the bedside. He confusedly signs the operation agreement, and then sees Mandy being pushed into the operating room.


    When the operating room door closes, he gradually comes to his sense.


    Mandy has the uterus hemorrhage.Why does she suddenly have the uterus hemorrhage?


    While Charlie is thinking, he begins to walk to her ward. He would like to know if the facts are really as he guesses.


    The ward is not far from the operating room, but Charlie feels every step is very heavy, as if filled with lead. If... If the truth is as he guesses...


    No, he can¡¯t think of it.


    Unknowingly,Charlie gets to the door of the ward. Looking at the lonely medical records hanging on the bedside, he suddenly feels a little timid.


    The truth is in front of him, but suddenly he seems to lose courage.


    Time passes by. Finally, when a cold wind blows over, Charlie slowly takes steps and enters the ward.


    Taking the medical records off the hook, Charlie sees the line above at first sight.


    ¡°In the surgery of abortion, uterine injury and hemorrhage are found.The patient should remain in hospital under observation for several days.¡±


    The handwriting is so crabbed just as the same as his heart at that moment.


    Abortion!


    That word pierces into his eyes and heart. He feels as if countless poisonous arrows are piercing fiercely into him. At that moment, he suddenly understands what is the bone-gnawing pain.


    Mandy really has... She really has an abortion...


    That¡¯s his child. It¡¯s his child with Mandy.


    Obviously, he shouldn¡¯t expect those things. But somehow, he suddenly wants to see the child. What does he look like, like him or like Mandy?


    Only Charlie knows that he can¡¯t see the child in this life.


    While he thinks about that, his nose twitches, and there is something which is about to come out from his heart.

 C30. The Past That Can’t Be Returned

    Mandy has never thought that she is still alive. When she looks at all the familiar things in front of her, she doesn¡¯t have any joy for being a survivor of a disaster. She even thinks that she shouldn¡¯t live in the world at all.


    Charlie sees Mandy wake up and says, ¡°Don¡¯t move. The doctor says you need to nurse your body now. What do you want to do? Tell me, I¡¯ll help you.¡±


    Looking at Charlie in front of her, Mandy is suddenly in a trance. She hasn¡¯t felt his obedience and gentleness for a long time. Since Vivi appeared in Jiang¡¯s mansion that night, her world has been torn apart.


    While thinking of Vivi, Mandy¡¯s eyes suddenly restore her composure. She draws a slight mockery around her mouth, looks at Charlie and says without any feelings, ¡°Why are you still here, President Jiang? I¡¯m not your Vivi. You shouldn¡¯t be so kind to me!¡±


    Charlie has never thought that Mandy shows all her thorns as soon as she wakes up. He holds his breath, and then realizes that his behavior just now is different from the previous. He quickly adjusts his tone and says, ¡°You will stay in the hospital in the next few days. I¡¯ll arrange someone to take good care of you.¡±


    ¡°Whatever you want.¡± Mandy doesn¡¯t want to see Charlie, turns her head and frankly orders for him to leave, ¡°I¡¯m a little tired and I want to have a rest. So, I won¡¯t show you out.¡±


    Charlie looks at Mandy¡¯s back, tries to say something, but finally leaves the ward without saying a word. He knows that Mandy must be in a bad mood now because it¡¯s hard for people to bear the pain of losing a child after all.


    He recalls that Mandy always asked him when they would have a baby of their own in the past. At that time, he has the conspiracy and always declines by many reasons. But the situation is different right now. Mandy actually has his child, and loses his child at the same time.


    When the sound of Charlie¡¯s footsteps disappears, Mandy slowly lies flat. She recalls Charlie¡¯s appearance and there is some pity in his eyes.If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    Mandy suddenly feels funny and a little sad.


    Time passes by. Circumstances change with the passage of time.


    In the next few days, Charlie always takes time to visit Mandy. Although Mandy always says harsh words, but he seems not to care at all.


    Even Mandy has an illusion, as if they go back to the past.


    It is not until Vivi¡¯s appearance that the illusion in front of her eyes disappears completely. Looking at the familiar and disgusting face in front of her, Mandy snaps, ¡°Why do you come here? What do you want to do?¡±


    ¡°Absolutely, I come here to visit you, my good friend.¡± There is a fake smile on Vivi¡¯s face. ¡°I heard from Charlie that your child has gone, so I come to comfort you.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t need your comfort. Please get away.¡± Mandy says frankly.


    ¡°Come on. We used to be best friends.¡± Vivi comes to her. Her facial expression suddenly changes, she says with a malicious look, ¡°Mandy, don¡¯t believe that you can get rid of your condition when you lose a child. I tell you that now I also have his child!¡±


    As Vivi¡¯s voice dies away, Mandy¡¯s facial expression changes. She stares at the woman in front of her and says, stressing each syllable, ¡°Vivi, I¡¯ve really put up with you for a long time. It doesn¡¯t matter to me whether you have Charlie¡¯s child or not. Please get out of the room now.¡±


    Vivi has never seen Mandy with such a barbaric attitude, and is stunned for a while. After a while, she regains herself and doesn¡¯t care about Mandy¡¯s words at all. Then she sneers, ¡°Don¡¯t forget that I¡¯m Mrs. Jiang now.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s none of my business!¡± Mandy still looks unchanged, ¡°Get out of here.¡±


    ¡°Mandy! You!¡± Vivi suddenly changes the subject. ¡°I know you are in a bad mood now that you have an abortion. I don¡¯t care about you. But Mandy, I don¡¯t think Charlie will let you give birth to the child even if you don¡¯t have an abortion now.¡±


    The child is still Mandy¡¯s pain. She bites her teeth, stares at Vivi in front of her and says fiercely, ¡°If you don¡¯t want me to tear your mouth to pieces, you¡¯d better shut up now!¡±


    ¡°No. I¡¯m willing to say that. Your child, is a bastard just like you. He shouldn¡¯t be born. Now it¡¯s perfect to die in your womb.¡± A series of vicious words jump out of Vivi¡¯s mouth.


    Mandy looks at the face in front of her and really wants to tear Vivi apart. Suddenly, she grabs the vase on the table next to her and throws it atVivi.


    Vivi has never thought that Mandy throws the vase at her. Vivi doesn¡¯t elude in time and is hit just right. Then, the blood trickles out of her forehead.


    In an instant, there are screams in the room.


    ¡°Killer!¡±

 C31. He Is just an Accident

    Before Charlie enters the door of the ward, he hears familiar screams coming from it. He runs in the ward in a hurry and sees Vivi standing there as soon as he opens the door. Her forehead is covered by her hands, and the blood has flowed down her cheeks.


    He is shocked and runs to her, ¡°Vivi, what¡¯s wrong? What happened?¡±


    The moment Charlie appears, Vivi hurries to hide herself in his arms and sobs just like catching the last straw to save her life, ¡°Mandy...¡± Mandy wanted to kill me.¡±


    When hearing that, Charlie looks up in dismay and sees Mandy indifferently looking at them. Charlie¡¯s heart suddenly trembles when he sees the indifference in her eyes.


    But before he has the chance to think, a medical staff member rushes in and hurriedly takes her to bind up the wound when seeing Vivi¡¯s bloody face. Charlie takes a look at Mandy and goes out with them.


    When the room is quiet again. Mandy slowly unlocks the clenched fists.


    All is fake. Charlie and she can¡¯t go back to the past.


    Mandy laughs at herself in the heart, and warns herself once again that Charlie is her enemy and she can¡¯t be soft-hearted towards him.


    In the medical treatment room, the doctor is disinfecting and cleaning Vivi¡¯s wound. Mandy throws at her very hard, so the wound is big. She looks at Charlie beside her, but says nothing with her tearful eyes.


    Vivi knows that it¡¯s inappropriate to say anything to Charlie now, but she would rather play the victim thoroughly.


    While seeing that Vivi is painful, grits her teeth but still says nothing, Charlie is distressed as expected. He sighs, grabs her hands into his palm, and asks gently, ¡°Vivi, are you painful?¡±Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.


    ¡°Nothing. I can stand it.¡± Vivi is somewhat complacent, and then pretends to be generous. She says to Charlie, ¡°Charlie, don¡¯t blame Mandy. It is supposed to be angry for her when seeing me.¡±


    Charlie recalls the indifference in Mandy¡¯s eyes, and his heart involuntarily sinks. He pats Vivi on the back of her hand, instead of answering her, ¡°Vivi, why are you in the hospital?¡±


    ¡°I want to have a physical examination, after all... After all, we want to have children.¡± Vivi shyly lowers the head and blurts out the words she has prepared in advance.


    Charlie is stunned, but says nothing more.


    On the day, Charlie hasn¡¯t returned to Mandy¡¯s ward. When Vivi¡¯s wound is blinded up, he drives her home together and never returns to the hospital.


    These days, Charlie is always away from home. Vivi secretly follows him and finds out that he always goes to the hospital to stay with Mandy. She has never thought that Mandy¡¯s child has gone, and it is still the child of Charlie. Looking at the way he looks after Mandy, her jealousy begins to grow crazily.


    Today, Vivi¡¯s purpose to go to the hospital to visit Mandy is to deal Mandy a head-on blow. But she has never thought that Mandy breaks her head. She must take revenge on Mandy someday. Vivi looks serious and her hands involuntarily clutch together.


    When Charlie enters the room, he sees Vivi siting on the edge of the bed and staring blankly. He puts the soup in his hands on the table beside him and goes over to grab her shoulders. He asked softly, ¡°Vivi, what are you thinking about?¡±


    ¡°I... I¡¯m thinking...¡± Vivi looks at him, wishes to speak but stops on a second thought.


    ¡°Huh? What are you thinking about?¡±


    When Charlie asks again, Vivi bites the side of her lower lip, seriously looks at him and asks, ¡°Is Mandy¡¯s child yours?¡±


    Charlie knows that Vivi will know the truth sooner or later, so he is stunned and then answers quickly, ¡°Yes.¡±


    While hearing that, there is sadness in Vivi¡¯s eyes. She droops her eyelids and says with a sad voice. ¡°Well, I see. In that case, you should take good care of Mandy. It¡¯s fine for me.¡±


    Charlie is more distressed after she says that. Raising her head, Charlie directly looks at her eyes and says, ¡°Vivi, the relationship between Mandy and me is not what you think. That child is just an accident. Moreover, there is no child now.¡±


    Accident is really a good excuse, as if all the truth will be covered up by that word.


    Charlie ignores the tiny pain in his heart, and then says, ¡°I promise you, there will never be love relationship between Mandy and me. The person I love most is you forever.¡±


    Vivi looks at Charlie¡¯s earnest appearance, and there is a smile on her face finally. She nods and says softly, ¡°Well, I believe you.¡±

 C32. The Unbearable Pain

    From a very young age, Vivi knows that the man¡¯s promises in the world are untrustworthy. So, she doesn¡¯t believe all that Charlie says, which is just like a wind blowing across her ears.


    She really wants to push Mandy into the bottomless chasm, rather than worry that Charlie has an affair with Mandy. As for her, Mandy is like a bomb. She doesn¡¯t know when the bomb will suddenly explode, so the best way is to remove her before she explodes.


    While thinking of that, she decides to go to the hospital again. She wants to know what happens to Mandy¡¯s child. There must be a reason why the child has gone.


    But Vivi has never thought that it is Mandy who wants to give up the child. When she comes out of the doctor¡¯s office, Vivi is very confused as if her head were filled with a ball of wool. But when she finds the thread residue, everything gradually becomes understandable. She laughs wildly because of the evidence that she grasps easily.


    Charlie doesn¡¯t know that he receives the unknown sender¡¯s message again. This time, there are no pictures, only a short sentence.


    ¡°I hear that Ms. Song has an abortion. I wonder that whether President of Jiang knows the reason or not.¡±


    Reason? Reasons for Mandy¡¯s abortion?


    Charlie is stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembers that he feels pitiful for Mandy these days, but really doesn¡¯t think much about the reason why the child has gone.Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.


    But before that, he is also curious about who the unknown sender is. He directly dials the phone, but the call is cut quickly.


    It seems that that person doesn¡¯t want to let him know who he is.


    While Charlie thinks, he gets up from his chair and goes out. After asking his assistant to investigate the unknown sender¡¯s number, he drives to the hospital.


    In the face of money and power, patients don¡¯t have any privacy at all.


    Charlie looks at the director of gynecology in front of him with the scarlet eyes. He grabs the man¡¯s collar band, and his voice seems to be squeezed out from his teeth. ¡°You say again, how has Mandy¡¯s child gone?¡±


    ¡°Mr. Jiang... Ms. Song¡¯s child¡­It is indeed she who wants to have an abortion...¡± The doctor answers with the trembling voice when looking at Charlie like Asura in front of him.


    While hearing that, Charlie dumps him out and clutches his fists together.


    Mandy! Mandy, you dare to do that!


    Charlie grits his teeth and directly punches into the file cabinet beside him. Then the iron filing cabinet falls down. The doctor looks at the filing cabinet and wishes he can disappear at this moment. The anger is so strong that he fears he can¡¯t bear it at all.


    Just as he mourns silently in his heart, he sees Charlie suddenly turning around and leaving.


    With a sudden sigh of relief, he stands up in a hurry and closes the office door.


    Charlie feels that he has never been so angry like now in his life. As long as he recalls that it is Mandy who kills their child, he feels that there are a thousand arrows piercing through his heart.


    He has never suffered such unbearable pain in his life.


    He wants to ask Mandy why she is so cruel that she kills the child.


    She once says that she wants the child belonging to them.Why she kills the child by herself now? Charlie doesn¡¯t understand her. Maybe he doesn¡¯t want to understand her.

 C33. It Has the Blood of Sin

    The door of the ward is opened. As soon as Mandy raises her head, she sees Charlie coming in angrily. He is covered with cold and gloom, staring at her.


    She is shocked. She thinks that he troubles her for the sake of Vivi, and she involuntarily sneers.


    Charlie wants to ask why she has an abortion. But when he sees the sneer on her lips, his anger is out of control. However, there is Mandy¡¯s cold voice coming before he says something.


    ¡°Does President Jiang come here for the sake of your wife?¡±


    Welcome to read all of the updated chapters of You Used to Be My World</a> on Flying Lines.


    While hearing that she mentions Vivi, Charlie frowns, but suppresses the anger in his heart and says, ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°No?¡± Mandy has never thought that he would give such an answer. She is stunned, and the cold in his eyes also fades a lot. ¡°Why do you come here?¡±


    ¡°I want to confirm with you the cause of the child¡¯s death.¡± Charlie says, looking at her fiercely. ¡°Mandy, I want to know whether it is you who want to have an abortion?¡±


    Suddenly Mandy feels the atmosphere grow tense. She can¡¯t hear other voices, only Charlie¡¯s words constantly echoing in her ears.


    He asks her whether it is she who wants to have an abortion. So, he knows everything.Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    Over the past few days, Mandy doesn¡¯t intentionally conceal that matter from him, but really doesn¡¯t want to mention the child. It¡¯s a hurdle in her life that can never be crossed just like a thorn in her heart.


    Now, when Charlie asks about that matter, Mandy only feels the pain in her heart sweeps over again. It is like a huge tsunami, which destroys all the fortresses in her heart in an instant.


    She helplessly watches all this, but there is nothing she can do.


    Charlie sees that Mandy¡¯s face becomes paler, and she tightly holds the snow-white sheet which becomes wrinkled. Even Charlie can still feel the pain in Mandy¡¯s heart.


    Is there any misunderstanding? Maybe... Maybe the child is unhealthy, so Mandy has to have an abortion?


    Even Charlie doesn¡¯t know that he makes excuses for Mandy.


    He doesn¡¯t know that he will be heartbroken for Mandy one day when he destroys Song¡¯s company and pushes Mandy into hell. However, his heart has always been tingling uncontrollably since he imprisoned her and watched her wandering on the edge of death again and again. He doesn¡¯t want to think about the reason even if the answer is close at hand.


    But at this moment, when Charlie looks at Mandy¡¯s painful appearance and recalls all kinds of things in these days, he suddenly doesn¡¯t want to deceive himself any more because the answer has come to his mind automatically.


    He is reluctant to break up with Mandy, or he has already fallen in love with Mandy.


    He doesn¡¯t want Mandy to leave him. He feels reluctant to let her go and torturing her is not his real purpose.


    Unknowingly, Mandy plants a seed in his heart. And as time goes by, the seed has already germinated unconsciously into a towering tree.


    He couldn¡¯t ignore the towering tree and Mandy.


    While thinking of that, the anger in his heart at this moment has burned to ashes. He wants to say something, but Mandy suddenly raises her head. Hatred and pain coexist in her eyes, but she says as if her voice had come from the abyss of hell,


    ¡°Yes, It¡¯s I who want to have an abortion. Because I don¡¯t want to have your child. I don¡¯t want my child to have your blood. That¡¯s the blood of sin. In that case, it¡¯s better to let him leave the world!¡±

 C34. Everything Can’t Come Back

    I don¡¯t want your blood running through its body.


    In that case, it¡¯s better to let him leave the world!


    Mandy¡¯s sentences push him into hell in an instant. Charlie feels that there are a million insects gnawing his heart. No. There are 10 million insects gnawing his heart. His heart is gnawed to nothing instantly.


    Charlie grits his teeth and stares at Mandy in front of him with grief in his tone.


    ¡°You... What do you say?¡±


    ¡°I say that It is I who wants to have an abortion, because its father is you, I don¡¯t want...¡±


    Before Mandy finishes saying, a slap from Charlie falls on her cheek. Suddenly, Mandy¡¯s face turns sideways accompanied by the sound.


    Charlie watches his hand in the air, and his eyes are filled with astonishment, pain and confusion. He doesn¡¯t know that he would slap Mandy. But when he hears what she says, he slaps her involuntarily.


    The pain coming from her cheek makes Mandy come to her senses. She slowly turns her head and looks at Charlie. She says coldly, ¡°That slap should be returned to you. I will never make an apology to you as regards the matter of my child.¡±


    When hearing that, Charlie suddenly comes to his senses. He looks at Mandy, but suddenly there is no other emotion in his heart. He lowers his hands and suddenly says in a calm tone. ¡°You don¡¯t need to make an apology to me, if you do right by your own conscience.¡±


    Mandy suddenly feels powerless as if she punches on cotton. As Charlie says, no matter how she pretends in front of Charlie, she still can¡¯t deceive herself.If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.


    She thought she could be strong enough to face the child¡¯s death, but in the end, she finds that she is not as strong as she imagines. She wants to take revenge on Charlie, but she doesn¡¯t know that she eventually makes herself painful.


    Suddenly, she loses all her strength.


    She lowers her eyes and says weakly, ¡°Charlie, I beg you to let me go.¡±


    Mandy doesn¡¯t want to go on taking revenge any longer. Everything won¡¯t be fine even if she can tread Charlie under her feet and hear his confessions one day.


    Her child can¡¯t come back, and Song¡¯s company can¡¯t come back. Everything can¡¯t come back.


    It is the first time for so long that Charlie hears that Mandy begs him to let her go in a voice similar to begging for mercy. He thinks that Mandy will have a breakdown when Song¡¯s company is bankrupt and Mandy becomes a prisoner. But she shows indescribable tenacity.


    She has never begged him. Instead, she says that she will make him regret.


    But now, Mandy suddenly admits being defeated.


    If she says that in the past, Charlie may feel excited that he has completely conquered Mandy. But now, he is not only unhappy, but also has a heavy heart.


    Charlie tightens his thin lips and says after a while, ¡°Impossible.¡±


    He just makes up his mind. It is impossible for him to let Mandy leave under such circumstances.


    Although she knows that her request might be rejected by Charlie, Mandy can¡¯t control the despair in her heart when hearing what he says. Suddenly she raises her head, looks at him with scarlet eyes and shouts crazily: ¡°Charlie! What do you want? I admit that you are the winner, ok? I have nothing now, I just want to leave you, leave such hell! But why don¡¯t you agree? You must drive me crazy?¡±


    Looking at Mandy who seems to be so mad, Charlie can¡¯t answer her questions.


    If he says that he loves her, she must think that he is out of his mind.


    Charlie smiles bitterly in his heart and says, ¡°Calm down first, and I¡¯ll see you later.¡±


    What happens today really tires him out. Charlie thinks he needs to digest all things well. He must reconsider all things about Mandy, the dead child and him.


    When Mandy sees that he leaves without hesitation, she directly reaches out, takes a pillow beside her and throws it at him. But the pillow is too light and falls to the ground before it touches Charlie just like her mood at the moment.


    When Charlie completely disappears from the ward, Mandy can¡¯t control her sadness and bursts into tears.

 C35. The Truth

    For three days, Charlie hasn¡¯t appeared in the hospital and doesn¡¯t returned to Jiang¡¯s mansion. After making up his mind, he suddenly has no idea how to face Vivi.


    When he is drunk in the bar, Young finds him unexpectedly. Looking at Charlie, who is drunken in front of him, he asks the bartender to bring a bucket of ice water and pours the water all over Charlie without any hesitation.


    Cold quickly seeps through his pores and spreads over his limbs. Charlie suddenly comes to his senses and sees Young standing in front of him with an indifferent face as soon as he opens his eyes. His voice is hoarse. ¡°Why are you here?¡±


    Welcome to read all of the updated chapters of You Used to Be My World</a> on Flying Lines.


    ¡°I¡¯m here to show you something.¡± Young throws a drum letter on the table in front of Charlie. ¡°Look at it. I believe you will have different feelings.¡±


    Charlie suspiciously takes the envelope. When he opens it, he finds that there are photographs in it. Although some pictures are very blurred, it¡¯s easy to recognize who they are.


    Those are the pictures of Vivi and the other man. Their intimacy makes him trembling. He asks incredibly, ¡°Where... Where do you get those pictures?¡±


    ¡°As I tell you, I don¡¯t believe that Mandy will be the kind of person in your mind. So, I spend some time to investigate your wife. She is the most scheming woman as Mandy says.¡±Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.


    Young begins to investigate Vivi after the quarrel with Charlie that day. Fortunately, monitors are everywhere in the world, so he finds a lot of evidence of Vivi¡¯s derailment. At the same time, he also finds her lover who admits that he had an affair with Vivi in the university, but he doesn¡¯t dare to say much regarding Charlie¡¯s power. Although the man refuses to visit Charlie, he provides many intimate photos of Vivi and him.


    When seeing Charlie is showing disbelief in a painful way, Young snorts coldly and then says, ¡°The reason I¡¯m here today isn¡¯t to make you feel guilty or anything else. I just want to tell you that Mandy is innocent. I just want to prove her innocence.¡±


    Young¡¯s voice makes Charlie come to his mind. He slowly raises his face and looks at Young. There is no doubt in his voice. He says frankly, ¡°You like Mandy.¡±


    While hearing that, Young doesn¡¯t intend to deny it, and says frankly, ¡°Yes, I have liked her since I was a child.¡±


    ¡°Those years...¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to tell her about it because Mandy likes you before. But the situation is different now. You have hurt her too deeply, so I will never let her stay with you in the future.¡±


    Young¡¯s voice is full of firmness. Charlie¡¯s eyelashes tremble. After a while, Charlie says, ¡°Are you sure you can take her away?¡±


    ¡°I have dealt with the matters of uncle Song, so you can¡¯t threaten her with that.¡±


    While hearing that, Charlie still asks calmly, ¡°So, you want to do things in opposition with me?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not important.¡±


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I will transfer my anger on your company?¡±


    ¡°If you can defeat us, Ji¡¯s company welcomes you.¡± Young says coldly, and he is not afraid at all. ¡°There is no Mandy in our family, so it¡¯s not so easy for you to overthrow our family.¡±


    Although he has known for a long time that Young is not as simple as he seems, he has never thought that his attitude will be so tough. Suddenly, Charlie laughs, and there is the coldness in his eyes.


    ¡°Young, what a good man.¡±


    Young stares at Charlie, and his expression remains tense.


    Unknowingly, he hears Charlie¡¯s voice, ¡°Since you say that, let¡¯s see who will get the final success. I hope you won¡¯t lose too much in the future.¡±


    As Charlie¡¯s voice dies down, Young says, ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see.¡±

 C36. The Earthshaking Life

    Mandy has never thought thatYoung will pick her up. As he says at that time, he comes back and solves all problems. Mandy is in trance, but her gratitude for him increases gradually.


    Young hands the key to the old house of Song¡¯s old mansion back to Mandy, and she finally starts her new life that she wants.


    At the same time, Haicheng City, which is peaceful for a long time, raises a a storm again. First, Charlie falls out with Vivi, his new wife. Someone sees the servant throwing out all Vivi¡¯s things at the gate of Jiang¡¯s mansion, and she begs Charlie all day but in vain.

    In Mandy¡¯s opinion, Young is really very good, and she is too bad. So, she doesn¡¯t deserve Young. Even if Young has done too much for her, she can¡¯t convince herself to get together with him.


    Mandy has a peaceful life after leaving Charlie if what happens outside is ignored. With the help of Young, she works as a clerk in a small company nearby. Although her salary is small, it is enough for her to have the life at least.Stolen novel; please report.


    But she doesn¡¯t know that there is a surge in such a calm life.


    It happens on a very ordinary working day. After she comes out of her house, she is suddenly beaten unconsciously with a stick, and then finds that she is on a speedboat when waking up. Looking at Vivi sitting next to her, she understands everything in a moment.


    When Mandy wakes up, Vivi sneers and shouts, ¡°You wake up very fast.¡±


    ¡°Vivi, it¡¯s illegal to do that!¡± Mandy struggles to get rid of the ropes, but the rope tied to her is still tied.


    ¡°It seems that you have already known what I¡¯m going to do.¡± Vivi stands up and pushes her to the edge of the speedboat. ¡°Three years ago, I wanted to kill you here, but I didn¡¯t succeed. So, three years later, I still want to kill you here.¡±


    ¡°Vivi!¡± Mandy shouts, ¡°Why do you refuse to realize your error? You can still live a good life if you let me go now. I promise that I will live as if nothing unusual happens!¡±


    ¡°Ho ho, live a good life?¡± Vivi suddenly sneers and roars, ¡°How can I live a good life? Charlie knows everything! He abandons me!¡±


    ¡°You can live a good life by yourself, believe me.¡± Mandy restrains her anxiety in her heart, tries to be calm and exhorts, ¡°I thought I couldn¡¯t have a good life without Charlie. But you see, I live very well now.¡±


    ¡°You live very well?¡± Vivi mutters, and there is a trace of confusion flashes in her eyes.


    Mandy says in a hurry, ¡°You can also live very well. That¡¯s true.¡±


    ¡°I can also live very well...¡±


    When Vivi sinks in confusion, the police whistle sounds on the calm sea. Not far away, several speed boats quickly surround them, and Vivi comes to her mind at the same time.


    Her confused facial expression quickly disappears. She stares at Mandy and says, ¡°I have almost been cheated by you. I can¡¯t start a new life now, so today I must finish it that I haven¡¯t done in the past.¡±

 C37. His World Is Lighted Up

    Proofread by Peter Gong


    The police whistle not only makes Vivi come to her senses, but also makes Mandy¡¯s heart sink into the valley bottom. Seeing that there is cold in Vivi¡¯s eyes, Mandy says in a hurry, ¡°No, Vivi, you can¡¯t do that. It¡¯s too late to repent if you do that.¡±


    ¡°Repent? I have never thought that I will repent!¡± Vivi coldly looks at her. ¡°You should have gone three years ago. If you were dead then, nothing would have happened now.¡±


    The difficulties of the past three years come to her mind. When she is alone in an unfamiliar city, she struggles to survive through the hatred for Mandy. Three years later, when she returns to Haicheng City again and defeats Mandy, she thinks that she is the winner.


    But Vivi has never thought that Charlie would fall in love with others in the past three years. What¡¯s more, everything that should have been covered is turned over again. She is expelled from Jiang¡¯s mansion by Charlie. All is gone.


    And all things are caused by the woman in front of her!


    It is Mandy who has destroyed her life, so Mandy should pay the corresponding price to her.


    While she thinks, Vivi¡¯s eyes become colder. She touches Mandy¡¯s back and whispers, ¡°Farewell, Mandy.¡±


    ¡°No, no!¡± Perceiving Vivi¡¯s intention, Mandy begins to struggle. But the rope tied to her body is just like the shackle, and she can¡¯t get rid of it.


    The police whistle is very close, and the four speedboats are no more than ten meters away from them.Stolen story; please report.


    Charlie, standing on the speedboat, also realizes Vivi¡¯s intension and shouts hurriedly, ¡°Stop it!¡±


    His voice is very loud. As soon as Mandy looks up, she sees Charlie standing there. But he stands too far away that she can¡¯t see his facial expression. She only feels that he is covered with a thick layer of sadness, like the mist in the morning.


    Why... Why does he come here?


    While Mandy is thinking, Vivi says in her ear with a light voice, ¡°Mandy, for the sake that you are dying, I¡¯ll tell you something. In fact, Charlie has fallen in love with you.¡±


    ¡°What... What did you say?¡± Mandy incredibly looks at her.


    ¡°It¡¯s ridiculous, isn¡¯t it?¡± Vivi raises her lips. ¡°You and Charlie are the most stupid people in the world, so you two are doomed to be unable to be together.¡±


    Vivi¡¯s voice keeps ringing in Mandy¡¯s ears. She even forgets that she should struggle at this moment. But she has no enough time to think about it, Vivi suddenly pushes her, and she heavily falls into the sea.


    It is not the first time for her to sink into the sea. The high hydraulic pressure crushes her heart, spleen, lungs and kidneys in an instant. But Mandy recalls Charlie¡¯s face, from his childhood until now, and all his appearances sink into her memory.


    Does he finally fall in love with her?


    But why, why doesn¡¯t she be happy as she imagines.


    Mandy only feels that her consciousness begins to drift away, and she slowly closes her eyes. And just before she is about to die, she suddenly feels that there are a pair of hands holding her tightly, and she is dragged up along the way.


    Mandy really wants to open her eyes and know who the person is.


    But she is too tired. She is too tired to open her heavy eyes.


    Charlie jumps down when Mandy falls into the sea, but he can¡¯t still catch up with her. When he finally holds her, she has completely closed her eyes.


    He takes her to the speedboat in a hurry and begins to give her first aid without hesitation. However, no matter how many times he does artificial respiration, Mandydoesn¡¯t react at all.


    When he sinks into desperation, Mandy finally spites out a large mouthful of sea water from her mouth. Her eyelashes tremble, and then she opens her eyes.


    At that moment, Charlie feels that his world is lighted up again.


    Involuntarily, he embraces Mandy in his arms, rubs her wet hair with his hands and murmurs, ¡°Fortunately... Fortunately, you¡¯re still alive...¡±

 C38. You Used to Be My World (The End)

    In the ward, Mandy is sitting while Young is peeling apples for her aside. It is quiet before Charlie appears at the door of the ward. Young finds that Mandy stops breathing for a second, and sees Charlie standing there when Young turns around.


    Since he picked Mandy up, his relationship with Charlie has been worse. They are no longer friends but rivals. But no matter what results of the business war are, he wants to thank Charlie at least in that matter.


    Young has never thought that Charlie has arranged an informer in the place where Mandy works, so he guesses that there must be something that happened when Mandy doesn¡¯t work on time.


    Young thinks that the behavior is shameless, but he has to admit that if Charlie hadn¡¯t arranged the informer, Mandy would not be alive now.


    While he thinks about that, he doesn¡¯t want to be concerned so much with Charlie.


    When Charlie appears in the ward, Mandy easily recalls all the things that happened before including what Vivi said: the hands holding her in the deep sea, Charlie¡¯s anxieties and his embrace after the disaster.


    All of these let Mandy understand that she can¡¯t pretend to be foolish.


    The relationship between Charlie and Mandy must have an end. It is not her style to keep such an ambiguous relationship.


    While thinking, Mandy says to Young, ¡°Young, please buy some magazines for me.¡±


    Young knows that Mandy wants to send him away, but he can¡¯t be dissatisfied with that. ¡°Well.¡± He stands up heavily and goes out.


    When Young leaves, Mandy looks at Charlie and says, ¡°Come on.¡±


    Charlie goes to Mandy¡¯s sickbed, keeping silent for a long time, and asks slowly, ¡°Do you feel better?¡±If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    ¡°Well, much better.¡± Mandy smiles at him and says, ¡°Thank you very much that day.¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡±


    ¡°Thank you anyway.¡±


    Charlie doesn¡¯t keep talking about that topic, hesitates for a moment, and finally can¡¯t help asking, ¡°Have... Have you already stayed together with Young?


    Mandy is stunned for a moment and then answers, ¡°No.¡±


    Mandy doesn¡¯t want to use Young as a shield, but rather than deceiving Charlie. She doesn¡¯t want to act and let Young suffer more harm for the sake of her.


    When Charlie stops frowning, Mandy begins to say, ¡°Before I was pushed into the sea by Vivi, she told me that you have fallen in love with me now. Is that true?¡±


    Mandy asks frankly, and Charlie is shocked and says, ¡°Yes, that is true.¡±


    Charlie¡¯s sincerity surprises Mandy. But she comes to her senses after only a moment. She looks at Charlie and says earnestly, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I don¡¯t like you any more. If you combat a outrance with Young for the sake of me, it¡¯s really not necessary.¡±


    Mandy says so seriously that her words make Charlie¡¯s heart trembling.


    It takes him a while to control his voice and asks, ¡°Why? You said you would always like me.¡±


    ¡°You know that I said that to you before.¡± Mandy looks at him and says, ¡°I used to think that you used to be my world, but the condition is different now. Too many things have happened, and my love for you has gone before. I don¡¯t like you any more, Charlie. I really don¡¯t like you.¡±


    When Mandy vows that she will never love Charlie again in her life, her heart is dead. And that child is witness to the poisonous oath, and it is the determination for her to insist on her mind.


    Hearing Mandy says so firmly, Charlie involuntarily clenches his fists. He stares at Mandy and says, ¡°If I say that I want you whether you like me or not.¡±


    While hearing that, Mandy is still as calm as water. After a while, she says, ¡°Charlie, you have been selfish for a long time, so it¡¯s my turn to be selfish.¡±


    Selfish?


    In an instant, all the resoluteness of Charlie is destroyed completely by that sentence.


    He stands up out of a sudden without taking a look at Mandy, but his voice is trembling. ¡°I know, that... That¡¯s all.¡±


    Looking at Charlie who turns around and leaves, Mandy¡¯s heart seems to be bitten by a mosquito. She says softly, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you for letting me go. I hope you can let go of yourself at the same time. Life can¡¯t be restarted. You aren¡¯t my world now.¡± And Mandy knows that tomorrow will be a new life, which only belongs to herself.
