Chapter 82 Not Everyone Can Bully the Millers ××× Simon quickly pulled his wife back into the car and sped away as if they were escaping a crime scene.
Flaine was still shaken up, but her fierce temper flared up, âWhat does Dominic think heâs doing? I canât believe he actually dared to hit me! Heâs getting way above himself. Weâre all in the business world Who doesnât have a little money? Why did you pull me away? You coward!â
Simon, who had always been gentle with Elaine, finally snapped. He slammed on the brakes and turned to her with a grim expression.
âshot up!â he shouted.
Elaine was taken aback by his outburst. âWhat did you just say? Simon, if it werenât for me, youâd still be living like a stray.
âBella and her mother ended up in this mess because of your philandering. If Iâd known about your child before we married, I wouldnât have given you a second glance! Who do you think you are? Try shouting at me again and see what happens!â
Every word cut into Simonâs pride like a dagger, but they were all true. He was a man who had climbed the social ladder on the back of his marriage.
He forced himself to swallow his anger, his tone softening. âHoney, Iâm not trying to yell at you, but Iâve been running this company for years. You donât know the people in this circle âDo you know who Dominic is? Do you know who the Miller family is connected to? The Sawyer family! We canât afford to mess with them. Who knows what would happen to us if Blaineâs face turned pale. âAre you saying Dominic is close to the Sawyer family? Why didnât you tell me sooner? Itâs not like I was doing anything wrong by disliking a younger person for being arrogant to me. And what about Bellaâs kidney? Are we just going to give up on Alke?
Simon sighed. âMy health isnât good enough. Youâll have to donate your kidney. Itâs the only way,â
Elaine was incredibly reluctant. âI was hoping we could get one for free. Now I have to use mine, and you know my health isnât greatâ
Her content complaining was driving Simon crazy. After patiently ending her for a while, he restarted the engine and drove off.
Remembering the look in Dominicâs eyes when he hit his wife, Simon realized that Dominic had intended to kill her.
On the way back to Miller Manor, Bella stared out the window, Jost in her thoughts.

She didnât want Dominic to know about her troubles, but somehow he found out. She was Dominic didnât mention what had happened.

Itâs nella realized she had been crying and quickly wiped away her tears. âIâm really sorry for the trouble Iâve caused, and I appreciate your help. Iâm afraid there might be more issues down the line. Simon has been plotting against me for a long time.
Please donât go out of your way for me in the futureâ
âThere wonât be a next time,â Dominic said confidently nella sensed a deeper meaning in his words âWhy?â she asked.
He didnât answer but gave her a sideways glance with a meaningful look Bella hit her lip as she recalled how he had introduced her as his girlfriend. âWhy did you say I was your girlfriend?â
She worked that Simon and his people might use this against her. She didnât want to cause Duminic any trouble and knew she wasnât the right girlfriend for him...
Dominic snorted. âIf I hadnât spoken up, they would we believed that my family had ignored you all these years and that you had no one to protect you. No one bullies someone from the Miller family. Remember that. From now on, hold your head high and stop being so timid.â
