Chapter 109

Chapter 109 Menu I stared coldly, saying nothing. No begging, no weakness. I knew this lunatic wouldn’t let me go. I was afraid of dying, but if I had to, I wouldn’t let her use me for amusement.

Seeing my defiance, Rita slapped me hard.“No begging? Fine. I’ll have someone rape you, chop off your limbs, cut you into pieces, and then burn you and this house to the ground!”

My face burned. I still didn’t speak. I was numb.

Rita grabbed my hair, pulling my face close. Her expression was twisted, grotesque.“I’m giving you a chance! Don’t you see? A chance to live! You should be grateful! Just bark like a dog. It won’t kill you. Otherwise, you’ll die horribly. Think about it!”

I looked at her, finally speaking. “Murder is illegal. If you kill me, you’ll die too. Is it worth it?”

Rita froze, annoyed that she couldn’t hear me beg, that I’d deflected her. Even now, I wasn’t pleading, I remained calm and proud! Rage consumed her. She slapped me repeatedly.“Slut! Trash! Lowly bitch...” Vicious curses echoed in the living room. My mouth filled with blood; my face was numb. But I endured, my voice calm.“Rita, if you kill me, Julian will never be with you. He already feels guilty. If I die because of him, he’ll live with guilt forever, forever missing his dead wife. Is that what you want?”

Rita shrieked.“Shut up! You’re nothing! Julian is disgusted by you! He has no interest in you! He wants to be with me! He took me on business trips; we were together in hotels, pools, cars... everywhere! He’s passionate about me! He said he loves me! He hates seeing you at home! We’re meant to be!”

Me:“You’re meant to be? I’m just helping you. At the airport, if I hadn’t hit you, would Julian have rushed you to the hospital?”

Rita paused, then sneered. “But he still went to find you! I even released that video, letting the internet condemn me, and he still wanted to reconcile with you out of guilt!”

Me:“If you had been more pitiful, hadn’t teamed up with Jiang Wenhui, continued acting like a victim, Julian’s heart would have leaned towards you. But you’re impatient. Now, you want to burn me in his house, ensuring he never forgets me?”

Rita:... Her breathing became ragged, her thoughts in turmoil. Was that it? Was she too hasty?
