Chapter 111 Make Him Suffer

Luke clenched his fists tightly, as though he had received a devastating blow. "T-it's my fault."

He looked as if he were about to shatter. For a moment, my heart-so battered by them-felt the faintest sense of being patched up.

Does he feel pain too? Compared to the suffering I've endured, what does his pain even amount to?

Sheila's voice came through sharply, "Zoey, we're in the memorial hall. Your expression and words don't seem quite appropriate, do they?"

I didn't look away, meeting Sheila's gaze directly. "Sheila, I just heard some stories about Luke and his wife. To be honest, I feel for Ms. Sander. She gave everything for her love, and in the end, what did she get? I heard she died-alone by the riverbank on a snowy night. What was Luke doing at that time?"

I deliberately guided him back to that memory. He remembered. That very night, the sky was filled with fireworks, but he was busy kissing his sister-in-law amidst the colorful displays.

In desperation, I made a distress call, but he impatiently hung up on me.

Just thinking about that, I knew Luke must be aching sharply on the inside.

But I wouldn't give him the quick punishment but cut him slowly, making his life more miserable than death.

In the stunned silence from Sheila, I pressed further, "By the way, Sheila, I heard Luke received a phone call and ran off from his wedding. Whose call was it? Why would he run away from his wedding? What could be more important than his marriage? How could that person be more important than his wife, his childhood sweetheart?"

"Enough!" Adam interrupted, his irritation clear.

Probably because I was a woman, it wasn't convenient for him to say more. He turned to Carter and warned, "Control your woman. Keep her in check. Dont let anyone have ammunition against us."

Carter's dark eyes locked onto Adam's face, expressionless. "Did she say anything wrong?"

One sentence, and Adam had nothing to retort.

I absolutely adored Carter's personality. Together, we were unstoppable.
