Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 855

Christine felt as if her wrist would shatter under the grip, and she tried to pull away.

"Let go, it hurts."

Dailey, however, pulled her closer, locking her firmly in his embrace.

"Don't think saying these things will work. They can't control me."

His voice was cold and hard, clearly angered. But Christine didn't care, she continued to provoke him.

"If you were really that powerful, you wouldn't have been brought here today. We'd be at city hall getting the paperwork done."

"Dailey, you know as well as I do, you don't have the authority to bypass the Clarkson family."

Dailey's voice grew even colder. "I'm doing this for you."

"I don't need it." Christine struggled to free herself from his grip, and when that

failed, she stomped hard on his foot.

Dailey didn't even flinch.

Christine's voice turned icy. "Stop saying you're doing this for me."

"Your family does things for you, why don't you accept their help and stop opposing them?"

"Sometimes all I need is an orange, but you insist I eat an apple, saying oranges cause too much heat and apples are healthier."

"But I don't need health. I just need you to let me go. I want to be myself, free every day, without anyone binding me, and-"

"Without worrying about someone trying to take my life when I'm not looking."

After Christine finished speaking, the living room fell silent enough to hear a pin drop.
