Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Chapter 871

Screams echoed from the pavilion, each one blending with the next, until a full half-hour passed before silence finally fell.

During this time, not a single servant appeared. The staff had grown used to Rebecca being hit, and nobody dared to intervene. After all, they were just employees, and Rebecca wasn't particularly kind to them. It was best to avoid trouble whenever possible. Rebecca lay motionless on the pavilion floor, barely conscious. Her body was covered in bruises, though her face remained unmarked.

Standing over her, Nathaniel looked down with a mix of disgust and hatred. He snarled, "Rebecca, if you hadn't lied to me, I wouldn't have had a falling-out with Damon. The Preston Group wouldn't be in this mess, begging for partnerships. You deserve every bit of this." Rebecca didn't reply. Her eyes were full of despair.

How much longer would this endless, miserable life continue? If she had known what returning to the country would cost her, she would never have come back.

It was too late now. There were no second chances. All she could do was find a way to escape.

Nathaniel crouched down, grabbed Rebecca's chin, and forced her to look at him when she remained silent.
