A Matter of Wife and Love by Mila

Chapter 298 Worthless

“You wish for my help?” the man said devilishly in a nonchalant manner. “But I’ve always been helping you, yet you are too stupid to get it. You keep disappointing me.”

Elyse’s phone almost fell out of her hand, but her reluctance to admit defeat kept her going. “It’s your fault I became like this. If it weren’t for you, I would still be in a loving relationship with Leo. We’d probably be raising a family by now.”
