Rebirth of the Wife in Despair by Tess Munoz

Chapter 222 Why Am I The One To Bear These?

Eileen ended the call and soon spotted a group of familiar faces approaching. Among them. she recognized a few as Lionel’s subordinates.

Without hesitation, Eileen quickly closed the shutter door and remembered there was a back door she could use.

As Fileen made her way towards the back door, she dialed the private driver of the Smith family, Gordon. However, her phone automatically shut down due to a dead battery just as the call was connecting.

Why is Eric in the fishing village?

Is he coming after me? Is he planning to silence me by killing me?

Eileen cautiously stepped outside through the back door. Two icy daggers were immediately pointed at her. Under the cold moonlight, she could see Lionel’s eyes and his menacing scar. She felt a chilling terror. “Ms. Eileen,” he said, “Mr. Snow is concerned about your safety being alone outside, so he specifically sent us to protect you. Please come with us.”

Wouldn’t going with them be even more dangerous?

Eileen quickly shut the door, but Lionel wedged his foot in the gap. In no time, he kicked the door open, looking fierce and intimidating. “Ms. Eileen, if you choose to resist, don’t blame us!” he threatened, causing her to retreat in fear.

“What are you planning to do? Don’t make me tell my father!”

Lionel laughed wildly. “I’m afraid he won’t have the chance to hear those words.”

Eileen was forcefully taken to a dilapidated floor. Isn’t this the room that Sharon used to rent? She used to live here.

Lionel pushed the door open. “Please, Ms. Eileen.”

The dim light inside the house made it difficult to see what was happening. However, she could sense a terrifying aura emanating from within, as if something even more fearsome than a beast lurked inside.

Lionel seemed to have anticipated her move. He roughly grabbed the back of her collar and pushed her inside, forcefully shutting
