Chapter 179 I Donât Want to Hear Your Lies It was in the room.
Ellen looked at the blood that she had coughed out in the trash can. The red color made her feel dazzled.
Previously, Ellen was diagnosed with severe gastric ulcer by the doctor. If Ellen did not get treatment as soon as possible, it would develop into stomach cancer.
Recently, to help the company get clients, Ellen drank too much with the clients.
She was known for not getting drunk after a thousand glasses.
In fact, it was not the truth. It was just that during the interval, she would go to the bathroom to make her vomit and stay awake.
Otherwise, it was very easy for a single woman like her to be drunk and pulled to bed.
However, Ellen repeatedly made herself vomit, and the stomach acid was reversed frequently.
Therefore, her stomach was seriously damaged.
Ellen was a little annoyed. The hospital asked her to go for a follow-up tomorrow. To be honest, she was quite afraid.
What if Ellen really had stomach cancer? What should she do?
Ellenâs parents were not in good health now, and she was the only child. If her parents knew that she was sick, they would probably not be able to bear it.
Ellen did not dare to think about it anymore. She packed up the garbage bag, covered it with some waste paper, and sprayed some air freshener.
Today, on a whim, Ellen made many dishes and waited for Jamie to come back to eat.
Knowing that Jamie always came back late, Ellen cooked late and sent a message to Jamie. Jamie said he would be home in ten minutes.
The word âhomeâ surprised Ellen.
Ellen was lost in thought when she thought of the word âhomeâ in the message.
Was this Ellen and Jamieâs home?
This was at most a place where Jamie confined Ellen like a canary.
Today at the mall, Yvette looked like she wanted to say something but stopped. Ellen knew that Yvette must have seen the scars on her body and was so worried about her.
In order to appease Yvette, Ellen said that Jamie was easy to deceive and so on, telling Yvette not to worry.
In fact, Ellen could not tell herself whether what she said was true or false.
Ellen felt that she hated Jamie. If Jamie had not pressured Ellen, the Robbins familyâs business would not have been blocked. And Ellen did not have to drink with her clients and hurt her stomach.
However, since Ellen said that she still loved Jamie last time, Jamieâs change was beyond her expectations.
Although Jamie was still crazy in bed, he obviously rarely humiliated Ellen.
Sometimes, they would even get along with each other like normal couples, just like todayâs warm moments.
Did Jamie really change?
Ellen hated to give herself this kind of expectation. Even if Jamie had changed, Fiona was standing between them. And they could not avoid the fact.
What Ellen did for and wanted was always a peaceful and quiet life.
That was all.
Just as Ellen was thinking about this, she heard the sound of the door opening. Jamie returned.
In an instant, the joy on Ellenâs face could not be disguised.
Ellen smiled and greeted Jamie, saying, âYouâre back?â.
Jamie stood at the door, his eyes dark and calm, like a storm, looking at Ellen quietly.
Ellen also sensed that something was wrong, and her fingers that were about to take his coat froze.
After a while, Jamie said in disgust, âYouâre good at pretending.â
âWhat?â Ellen did not understand and only felt that Jamieâs eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake.
Jamie forced a smile. âPut on some sexy clothes and come out with me.â
Ellen was stunned. What was Jamie talking about? She could not help but say, âBut the dishes areâ¦â
Before Ellen could finish her sentence, she saw Jamie walk past her to the dining table and wave his hand.
âCrash.â
The noise of the dishes colliding sounded in the room.
Jamie flipped over the table full of food with a smile on his face, but the smile was particularly frightening.
âIâve eaten them,â Jamie said.
It was obvious that something was wrong. Ellen looked at the mess on the ground and calmly asked, âJamie, what do you want to do?â
Jamie did not even look at Ellen. He pulled out a piece of see-through clothing from the wardrobe and threw it on Ellenâs face.
âJust wear this.â
Ellen looked at the clothes and was stunned.
It was the clothes that Jamie bought for her to wear on the bed. The weight of the cloth was even less than 0.2 pounds, so how could Ellen wear it out?
âWhat are you waiting for? Why arenât you changing?â
Jamieâs voice was cold and magnetic. âDo you want me to call your mother and ask her to change your clothes?â
Ellen felt a chill all over her body upon hearing Jamieâs words.
Ellenâs lips trembled slightly. âIâll change.â
Ellen changed her clothes in front of Jamie and put on a coat.
Jamie gave Ellen a cold look, then pushed the door open, but Ellen did not follow.
Jamie turned back and found Ellen squatting at the entrance of the hallway. Cold sweat slid down Ellenâs temples. Her stomach hurt again.
In order to wait for Jamie, Ellen had not eaten.
Therefore, her stomach was hurting again.
Ellen squatted and gasped for breath. She said slowly, âJamie, can we go out tomorrow? My stomach is not feeling well.â
Jamie looked at Ellen. There was no pity in his eyes. He only felt that she pretended so well.
It was realistic.
It made Jamieâs stupidity even more apparent because Jamie actually felt pity for this woman.
Jamie was cheated on once, and he didnât want to be cheated on again.
Jamieâs pupils shrank, and his voice was cold. âItâs fine if you donât want to go out. Then Iâll ask your mother if she has time to go with me to socialize.â
As Jamie spoke, he reached out to make a call.
Ellen quickly stood up and suppressed her discomfort. She said, âNo. I can go.â
Jamie smiled coldly, his eyes full of contempt.
Ellen got into Jamieâs car despite her sickness. The car sped all the way to the clubhouse. When Ellen got out of the car, she could not help but vomit.
Ellenâs stomach acid reflux brought pain. Ellen took out a wet tissue and wiped her mouth. She actually spat out a large mouthful of blood.
When the discomfort subsided, Ellen stood up straight. Jamie had already stepped into the clubhouse and did not even look at Ellen.
Ellen hurriedly followed. Jamie had already stepped into the elevator. When Jamie saw Ellen enter, he pressed the button to close the door.
Ellen was suddenly caught by the elevator and almost vomited blood again.
Jamie looked at her with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
Instantly, Ellen felt extremely cold in her heart.
Ellen wanted to find out the reason. Their relationship had improved a lot over the past few days. How could it suddenly be like this?
Ellen hesitated and said, âJamie, whatâs wrong with you? Can you communicate with me if you have something to say?â
The elevator door opened and Jamie stepped out. Before entering the private room, he paused.
âEllen, do you think you can fool me again?â
âI didnâtâ¦â
Jamie smiled and opened the video. The conversation between Jamie and Yvette reached Ellenâs ears.
In a split second, Ellenâs face was pale.
âJamie, itâs not like that. Thereâs more after the videoâ¦â
Jamie suddenly grabbed Ellenâs neck and slammed her body against the wall. He said coldly, âI donât want to hear your lies. You just need to do as I say.â
Ellenâs throat was choked, and her face turned from white to purple. She couldnât say a word.
The video was just part of what Ellen had said. Ellen clearly said more after that video. Ellen said she remembered what happened at school. At that time, Jamie was very simple. Ellen would lie to him that a boy had given her a love letter. Jamie would be angry and then ignore her.
At that time, Jamie was really silly and easy to deceive.
What Ellen said did not mean she liked to fool Jamie, but Ellen simply felt that Jamie was still the same as before.
Jamie saw that Ellenâs face was losing its vitality in his hands. He felt vapid and let go of her.
Ellen softly slipped and sat on the ground.
Jamieâs gaze was like a sharp blade as it landed on her. âI let you live a few days in the human world.
Have you forgotten what hell is like?â
Ellen looked at Jamie in despair and wanted to explain, âItâs not what you think. Iâ¦â
Jamieâs thin lips curled into a cold sneer as he stretched out his shiny leather shoes and lifted her chin with the tip of his shoe in an extremely humiliating manner.
âDo you know that your hypocritical face makes me feel disgusted?â
Ellenâs lips trembled slightly, but she could not say a word.
She knew that Jamie would not believe anything she said.
She fell silent and waited for the storm to come.
âGet up,â Jamie ordered coldly.
Ellen struggled to get up.
Ellenâs actions were all tricks, schemes, and disguises in Jamieâs eyes.
Jamie showed disgust on his face, pushed open the door of the private room, and walked in.
There were three or four middle-aged men inside. When they saw Jamie, they all stood up to greet him.
Jamie nodded and sat down.
These people were all bosses of their companies. Although they were older than Jamie, they had to admit that Jamie had caught up to them and had a strong momentum.
Recently, Jamie had a good project on his hands. They wanted to cooperate with Jamie, but Jamie lowered the price too much. They talked for a few days and did not settle it.
Jamie was too shrewd and made everyone feel a little uncomfortable.
But there was no other choice. They had to keep flattering Jamie and continue to negotiate.
At this time, the sharp-eyed Hank found a beauty standing at the door. He looked at Jamie and asked euphemistically, âMr. McBride, is this your girlfriend?â
Jamie lazily raised his eyelids and said disdainfully, âMr. Hyde, it seems you donât have good eyesight. I donât like this kind of woman. I called her here to have fun with you guys.â
Everyone understood. Having fun with them meant that this woman was here to drink with them.
The private room was warm, but Ellen only felt extremely cold.
Ellen instantly understood what Jamie wanted to do.
The warm and soft moment Ellen felt before today was torn to pieces by Jamieâs words.
Ellen smiled bitterly. Sure enough, Jamieâs change was just her imagination.
Jamie never wanted to hear Ellen explain, not even a single sentence.
In Jamieâs eyes, Ellenâs sadness was all just pretending.
Jamie lifted his eyes and looked at Ellen, his pupils as dark as ink. âWhy donât you take off your coat?â
