Chapter 763

Edith’s eyes widened in disbelief as she glared at Alston.

That face she stared at was now flushed with anger because of Marilla!

She sensed a subtle shift in Alston’s demeanor towards the girl who was once dismissed as a fool. Previously, he had looked down on her with disdain, but now, he seemed to seethe with a jealous rage.

“No, I won’t let this go!”

Alston’s temples throbbed with fury. “We had an agreement. Marilla was supposed to marry me. She must be my woman, and no one’s going to take her from me!”

Before he could finish, Edith straddled him; with her naked body pressing against his waist, she slapped him hard across the face–twice!

“Edith, what the hell are you doing?!” Alston was completely taken aback.

“Alston, you’ve gone too far! Didn’t you swear you’d only ever love me? That I was the only one in your heart?”

With her eyes ablaze, Edith choked him, and her hands tightened with fury. She wished she could strangle him to death. “But all the signs point to it, you’ve fallen for that idiot! Tell me! Have you fallen for Marilla?!”

“No, I haven’t. Edith, I swear! My marrying her was just to get back at you. It’s all for you!” Alston wrapped his arms around her waist, struggling to speak as the suffocation grew more intense.

Yet, it only fueled his excitement further.

“Alston, I’m warning you.”

Leaning in close, Edith patted his cheek and hissed through clenched teeth, “The Fairhaven family rose from the streets. Making someone disappear without a trace isn’t hard for us. If you betray me, I’ll make sure you won’t even know how w you died, got it?”

Alston shivered with fear, but his thoughts uncontrollably drifted to the girl with the graceful dance moves, soft as a whisper, held in Aaron’s arms.

His fists clenched in secret.

Just then, Edith’s cell phone rang with an unfamiliar number.

Getting up and wrapping herself in a bathrobe, she answered the call irritably.

“Who is this?”

Silence came from the other end.

“Speak up, you mute?”
