Chapter 4
1122 Words
Eight years ago, Sharon Clare personally sent her husband onto the train for the northern expedition!
But three days later, she was expelled from the family because she was implicated in her father's embezzlement of the family's finances.
However, the family did not let her go. Instead, they issued the strongest ban on her, forbidding any company from hiring her even though she was pregnant.
Overnight, she went from being the young lady of the Clare Family to a beggar in the River City.
But she didn't give up!
To wait for that man to return victorious from the northern frontier, she endured ridicule and insults time and time again.
It didn't matter that she lost her means of livelihood, she picked up trash with her big belly, earning money for the soon-to-be-born Olive's milk powder.
But things took an unexpected turn. Although her life was impoverished, it was still relatively stable, until her daughter fell seriously ill and everything fell apart once again.
Just when she was in despair, Neil Eden, who had long coveted her beauty, reached out his "helping" hand.
He demanded that she put on the uniform of a club girl and work as a waitress in the Zealous Club.
Although she knew Neil had ill intentions, this job that made her feel extremely ashamed also brought in a considerable income.
During that time, the beast in front of her repeatedly attempted to seduce her into engaging in s****l activities, but she resolutely refused with a death-defying determination.
"Mr. Eden... Let's make a toast!"
She forced a smile!
How good would it be if her man were still alive?
But after eight years, with no news from him, could he still be alive?
She was on the verge of collapse!
She couldn't hold on any longer!
"Toast?"
"No need!"
Neil Eden, with a heart full of anger, sneered, "Come and sit down!"
He had to possess Sharon's body and vent his anger!
"Ah..."
Sharon bit her lip lightly. She couldn't refuse, so she could only bow her head submissively and say, "You... You are my boss, and I am the employee. I should stand up to show your nobility!"
When did she become such a hypocritical person?
Clearly, she was scared, yet she still had to flatter!
Life ultimately forced her to become the kind of person she used to despise.
"Hahaha..."
Neil Eden instantly stood up, taunting, "Indeed, you're the young miss of the Clare Family. You've seen big scenes before, and you know how to talk!"
"Yes, I am your boss, and you are just nothing!"
"But now I order you to sit down!"
He wanted to shatter Sharon's noble self-esteem deep within her heart.
Sharon had the idea of turning around and leaving again.
But when she thought of her daughter, she couldn't summon the courage to leave.
"I told you to sit down!"
"Do you still want to wait for that man of yours?"
"He's long dead!"
"As long as you promise to send that little bastard to an orphanage and marry me, I promise I'll give you a dowry of one million dollars right away and save that little bastard's life!"
Neil Eden's mouth carried an evil grin as he unabashedly humiliated her, "What do you say?"
Those words, each word, pierced Sharon Clare's heart like a dagger.
She was at a loss!
Has something happened to Hugo Kent?
That man said that after the war ended, he would come back to accompany her for the rest of her life!
"No!"
When the image of her husband's every frown and smile appeared in her mind, Sharon stood up instantly and firmly shouted, "He's a hero who serves his country, a man of indomitable spirit. He won't be dead!"
Perhaps in the eyes of others, she was very strong.
But who knew that it was all a facade of strength?
She was just a woman!
The promise Hugo made was the only belief that she was willing to endure humiliation and persevere until now!
How could that man possibly deceive her?
"Hahaha..."
Neil Eden burst into laughter, "If he didn't die, then where is he?"
"Where was he when you were ostracized by the Clare Family?"
"Where was he when you were picking up trash with your big belly?"
"Where was he when the little bastard was sick and needed a sky-high medical fee?"
Each word was like a knife!
Each word stabbed Sharon Clare's heart, revealing the fragility hiding behind her strong facade!
She was breaking down!
She really couldn't hold on any longer!
She just wanted to cry her heart out!
Speechless, she looked dazed, and her body uncontrollably collapsed onto the sofa, unable to exert any strength.
"As long as you drink this glass of wine, your daughter will be able to survive!"
Evil gleamed in Neil's eyes as he picked up the wine glass and continued enticingly, "A hundred thousand for a glass of wine!"
"Have you thought it through?"
A glass of wine!
A hundred thousand!
As long as she got that money, she could pay for Olive's initial hospitalization fees!
Tears welled up in Sharon's beautiful eyes. With a trembling hand, she swallowed her pride and took back all her self-esteem.
For her daughter, she...
had no choice!
"Drink it!"
"Drink it quickly!"
"As long as you drink it, this hundred thousand dollars will be yours!"
...
Sharon Clare's mind went blank, only those tempting words that she couldn't refuse echoed in her ears.
She picked up the wine glass and slowly raised it, her red lips trembling...
Seeing this scene, Neil's smile became stronger. As long as she drank this glass of wine, within ten minutes, even the most chaste woman would become his toy!
"Bang..."
But at that moment, the door of the luxurious private room was violently kicked open!
Hugo looked indifferent, looking at everything in front of him!
As this was the top floor and a private area belonging to Neil, no one was guarding it, so naturally, no one noticed!
"Who?"
Neil Eden turned around instantly and shouted angrily, "You... You're gonna die!"
But in the next second, when he saw Hugo Kent, his angry expression suddenly turned into fear!
How did this killer come here?
"Honey..."
At the same time, Sharon Clare, who was about to bring the glass to her lips, couldn't control her emotions anymore!
Longing!
Excitement!
Blame!
...
All kinds of emotions burst out with hot tears in an instant!
She had been waiting painfully for eight years!
Just when she was almost giving up, the man who had once promised to put everything down and spend the rest of his life with her after the war finally returned...
