Chapter 325
Alda almost ground her teeth into pieces.
She had already made such a big concession, but Harold was still aggressive!
“Eric…” Alda was in tears. She hugged Eric’s arm and said pitifully, “I’m still pregnant with your child….. How can I kneel down to someone…”
“Master White.” Eric couldn’t bring himself to let her do it as well. His voice was very low. “She has such a big belly…”
Harold was confused. “The child isn’t mine. The size of her belly has nothing to do with me.”
Eric was speechless.
Seeing that Harold was absolutely unwilling to give up, Eric slowly pulled Alda’s hand away and said in a deep voice, “Alda, kneel down.”
“Eric!” Alda cried so hard that her eyes turned red. “You… how could you…
Eric turned his head away and ignored her.
Alda hurriedly looked at Corey and said, “Corey… can you help me…”
Corey acted as if it had nothing to do with him. He just gave her a cold look.
Alda was almost exhausted, but at this moment, Luke said, “Mrs. Coombs, we don’t have much time. left.”
Alda took a deep breath and finally knelt down slowly to Crystal.
Ever since she became Mrs. Coombs six months ago, everyone flattered her whenever they met her. She had never suffered such humiliation after marrying Eric. When her knees touched the ground, she recalled the first half of her life when she was humiliated by others and had no dignity. She once swore that she must climb to a high position and trample everyone under her feet. She thought that she had climbed high enough today, but it turned out that there were always people. standing higher than her.
Crystal didn’t feel Alda’s hesitation because she had her own. She asked Harold in a low voice, “I won’t die earlier, will I?”
“…” Harold said, “Weren’t you determined to resist superstition?”
Crystal said, “I tend to believe it occasionally.”
“Don’t worry,” Harold said. “Whoever has evil intentions will die early.”
Alda’s back stiffened.
She lowered her head, clenched her fists, and said, “Miss CoCo, please forgive me. I know I am wrong.”
Harold asked Crystal, “Do you want to forgive her?”
Crystal thought for a moment and said, “Get up.”
Eric quickly helped her up. Alda pushed him away and said, “It’s none of your business!”
“Alda, there’s nothing I can do…” Eric explained, “If I had other ways, I wouldn’t have made you kneel down… Alda, don’t be angry. It’s not good for the baby.”
“You’re just worried about your child!” Alda said angrily.
“Of course not.” Eric coaxed her. “I’m also worried about you… Alright, alright, don’t be angry
anymore…”
Harold looked at the two of them with great interest, and suddenly said with an unclear meaning, “You two are really affectionate.”
When Eric heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. “Master White… what does this mean?”
Harold said lightly, “Mr. Coombs, you dote on your wife and I also dote on mine. She has been . wronged here. Do you think it’s over after your wife knelt down and apologized?”
The veins on Eric’s forehead bulged. “… Don’t go too far!”
Harold said lazily, “I just want to seek justice for my wife. Why did you say that I’m going too far?”
The smile on his face faded, leaving only indifference. “I have always been like this.”
“I will seek revenge for the smallest grievance.”
