Chapter 500: Chapter 500: What A Perfect Excuse
However, Stuart pursed his lips and said, "I have to leave the house in awhile. I can’t accompany you. Will you wait for me at home?"
His voice had softened.
"Yes... Is it because of Hawk Real Estate?" She asked fearfully, still worried about Donald.
Stuart’s pupil slightly contracted, but soon recovered.
This time, he didn’t act on impulse; he said calmly and rationally, "No, there are other things I have to deal with. Can you wait for me right here? "
"Okay, I’ll wait for you." Edie nodded her head. She also needed to buffer before she could have a good talk with him.
Stuart rubbed her knee for a while, then carried her to bed, watched her quietly close her eyes, and then left the room.
He drove to the hospital and saw Madam Yates’s car without surprise.
He quickly got the number of the surgery room and took a lift. The moment he walked out of the elevator, he saw Bette teetering outside the surgery room anxiously.
Seeing Stuart, she looked quite astonished.
"Why are you here?"
"To witness his death," Stuart said coldly.
"You’ve known everything, right?" Bette asked in astonishment.
"He didn’t die. You’ve kept his company for three years. Did you plan all these? What about my father?"
His voice sounded like the ice from hell, devastating and threatening.
His eyes turned sinister and ruthless, pressing Bette’s heart like a rolling wave. Bette felt so suppressed that she felt stifled.
She forgot when her son grew up enough to take complete charge without her help.
She took a deep breath.
"I believe there might be some misunderstandings between us. It’s not what you thought."
"You don’t need to explain in front of me. Go to explain in front of the grave of my father, in front of everyone outsides. All are talking about your affair with Tammie Lynch. Go, tell them."
He roared like a wounded lion, sadly and coldly.
His eyes turned red.
Bette wanted to say something. Looking at the man in front of her, she suddenly wanted to cry out. freewebnoveℓ.com
But...
She didn’t.
She turned around and calmed herself down.
Her voice recovered.
"I don’t care about anyone outside. They have nothing to do with me."
"Okay. Then I would kill Tammie and destroy Hawk Real Estate. If you don’t explain to the world, I would. I do this only for my father. You don’t deserve this."
Then, he walked to the surgery room and kicked on the door.
Tammie was still alive...
He stayed with Bette for three years...
If the news spread out, even his father would get mad in hell.
Why could they be so shameless?
"I would torture you if you dare to save him."
"Stuart, stop!" Bette wanted to stop him.
"Fuck off."
He lowered the voice. His back was stiffened.
His lips were compressed into a line.
He crushed on the door so heavily that the door started rocking.
The sound ran through the whole corridor.
Bette wanted to check his hands. But he caught her hands instead.
"Tell me. Have you ever cheated on my father?"
His eyes were burning insides, fixing on Bette, forcing her to tell the truth word by word.
"No, never."
Bette said determinedly, without any hesitation.
Her eyes, as usual, were cold and determined.
The atmosphere turned wired between them.
"But nobody believes this. Kick him out. After I destroyed Hawk, everyone would stop gossiping. Wait for me."
Stuart turned around. His back suddenly looked fragile at the moment.
"You couldn’t do this. Tammie helped me before. I couldn’t let you destroy Lynch."
"What?"
He paused, turning around slowly. His eyes squinted.
"He’s done so much for me. I couldn’t take it for granted anymore. He never asked for anyone from me. But I couldn’t pretend nothing happened anymore. I would marry him after he woke up." Bette said, without any hesitation.
On her way back, she had made the decision. To be honest, she loved Alexander more than she loved Tammie.
After Alexander passed away, she never thought about love. As Tammie closed his eyes on the bed, she realized the man she loved the most, and the man loved her the most, all left her forever.
She didn’t know he didn’t die until a man called Bayer appeared in front of her after nine years. He forged his identity and destroyed everything about Tammie Lynch, leaving no trace.
He told her, "I am Bayer. Tammi Lynch had gone forever. From now on, I would protect you and your L.N. for Alexander."
He never talked about romance with her. All he talked to her was the business. Finally, she was touched, after all these years.
But it was hard for a woman whose heart has been covered for more than ten years to accept another man.
He knew this, so she pretended that she didn’t know anything.
But she couldn’t do this anymore. She had to give the man an answer.
"Are you serious."
Stuart ridiculed as if he heard the funniest joke.
Bette nodded.
"What about my father?"
"I believe he would understand me."
"No," Stuart said coldly. A layer of scary redness covered his eyes.
"If you marry him, it would prove that you had an affair with him. Everyone would laugh at my father."
He walked to her, catching her thin shoulder with his big hands so heavily.
The woman in front of him was his mother.
He respected and complained to her for his whole life.
But he never loved her.
"I would leave L.N and do whatever I want."
"When you left me alone to take over L.N. and went to him, I’ve suffered a lot. Do you have any idea? Have you ever considered me for even a moment? Do you know my feeling? Why could you leave everything to me without even asking me?"
"No matter how you feel, you should keep everything your father left. I couldn’t let them destroy my hands. No matter what you’ve gone through, you are obliged to take this, for your father, not me."
Bette’s voice suddenly turned sharp.
Stuart sneered, "Wow, what a perfect excuse. I would not only destroy Hawk but force the Lynch to pay the price."
Then, he turned around and left, leaving the corridor ringing with his cold voice.
