She Killed My Ex

Chapter 32 One Last Time

Chapter 32 One Last Time

Bentley heard a plonk.

It was the sound of knees hitting the ground!

"Mr. Shawn, I will transfer one million dollars to the bank account. I will work hard, please believe me. Give me more time."

One million dollars resulted from the man's spite, his humiliation and revenge. If he could feel better and be mollified in this way, Caroline would do anything.

She had the chance to barter one million dollars for freedom.

Bentley could hardly restrain the increasing fury in his heart.

He didn't find that his eyes were mixed with complicated pain when he looked at Caroline!

She was such a supercilious woman in the past!

Wimpy, wretched, humble and pitiful... when were these words used to describe this woman?

She knelt to him?

She knelt down before him!

Damn!

"Are your knees so worthless? How can you kneel down so easily?"

Caroline opened her eyes wide. She didn't dare to blink, for fear that if she blinked, she would shed tears from her sour eyes.

She was afraid of taking a beating.

She was not afraid of pain, but for fear of hearing the sound of self-esteem crumbling from the bottom of her heart!

Bentley, you didn't know that in that prison, I dared not cry. Every time I cried, I was beaten severely.

You didn't know I was no longer Caroline.

You didn't know that when I was tied to the toilet to sleep and all the people laughed at me, I thought I was not a person, but an animal, a dog, a pig!

"Caroline, I'm asking you one last time. Are you sure you want to discard your dignity?" Bentley was a cold man who always hid his emotions from other people. His mind couldn't be pried into by others.

However, the anger and pain buried under his cold voice wasn't perceived even by himself.

Caroline's hands propping up on the ground were shaking.

She lowered her head quickly to stare at the ground in front of her.

Dignity? What was dignity?

It had been obliterated after three years in prison.

Thinking of that girl, she wanted to cry with red eyes. Her name was Delores. In the prison, she once said, "Callie, you can cry. I feel sad when seeing you like this. I'll looked warily around for you, so they won't see you. Have a good cry and you'll feel better."

Then, Caroline began to cry.

Afterwards, Delores was implicated. Both she and Caroline were beaten by other female prisoners.

Bentley, I didn't even have the right to cry.

What did the dignity you mentioned mean to me?

"I'm no longer Caroline." She said to Bentley in a hoarse and husky voice.

At this moment, Bentley, such a calm person, also opened his eyes wide and looked at the woman on the ground in disbelief!

She just said it!

She just admitted it so easily!

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

In the bedroom, there was a strange and tense airflow.

A touch of smile appeared on the thin lips of Bentley. "Since Ms. Jameson said that, I can't live up to your wish. In the future, please work hard in Royal Club."

Caroline gave a wan smile silently.

She dropped her eyes to cover up her grief.

Bentley, why did you behave like this?

It was because of you that I fell into such a miserable condition.

Apart from an incomplete body and broken soul, what did you leave for me to let me stay true to myself once full of pride?

Why did you show that you didn't know anything?

Didn't you know that it was you who ordered others to torture me?

How could you still want me to be the Caroline with a proud and confident look three years ago?

"Thank you, Mr. Shawn."

Her pink and pale lips were chapped, which hurt when she spoke.

Her words easily infuriated Bentley.

"Get out!"

"Okay."

"I'm asking you to 'roll' out!"

Bentley looked at the woman coldly. The latter was very obedient without any dissatisfaction and hesitation, curling up into a ball on the ground. "Yes, Mr. Shawn."

How could her obedience be so annoying!

How could her shamelessness be so offensive to his eyes!

Bentley suddenly lifted his foot, walking to the front of the "ball" in a few steps. He stretched out his long arm to carry the collar of the "ball", quickly walked to the elevator entrance, and threw the "ball" into the elevator. "Fuck off! Don't be an eyesore!"

The elevator went straight down.

When the door opened, Marissa walked up to Caroline in a hurry. "Are you all right?"

Marissa heard that Mr. Shawn had taken her away.

Deloris was not a nosy man.

Marissa looked Caroline up and down again. If she had good appearance and nice figure, it would explain why Deloris was fascinated by her.

Looking at the woman in front of her, Marissa shook her head.

She grasped Caroline's arm, and her eyes flashed with surprise. She suddenly looked up at Caroline's face in surprise. "You are shaking."

"I'm fine."

Marissa secretly rolled her eyes. She knew that it was difficult to get the answer from Caroline.

"You are too stubborn."

Caroline was silent.

"Are you hungry? Let's eat something. You don't have to go to work today."

Marissa didn't understand why she treated Caroline who didn't possess good appearance and nice figure so specially.

Actually, she might know. She just didn't want to admit it.

It seemed that being nicer to Caroline equaled to being nicer to herself in those days.

"Thanks anyway. The company has a canteen."

"You..." The woman was really obstinate!

Marissa shook her head. Everyone said that Caroline was humble and had no self-esteem. Why didn't they see her hidden pride and aloofness?

"You must have been a confident person in the past." Marissa asked inadvertently.

Caroline shivered unconsciously. After a long time, she slowly wriggling her lips. "It seemed to be a previous life."

"Hold on. Here's the check." Marissa handed Caroline a check. "Mr. Sawyer asked me to give it to you."

"How could it be so much?" Seeing the figure on the check, Caroline was also startled.

Marissa smiled bitterly. "I was also shocked at that time. Callie, tell me, what have you done to fawn on Mr. Sawyer." He was so generous that the check was 100,000 dollars!

Such a condition had happened before in Royal Club.

Nevertheless, was Caroline really worth so much money?

Marissa looked at Caroline again. She didn't look down on Caroline. Because they were in a world where looks were seemingly everything.

Deloris was a good-looking, outstanding and extraordinary man. In Lehcaster, he and Bentley were often the influential men to be compared.

"Marissa, please help me deposit the money in that bank card." Caroline returned the check to Marissa. "Is there anything I can do?"

Marissa heaved a sigh.

On the 28th floor of Royal Club, Bentley stood in front of the French window, quietly looking at the Lehcas Tower not far away. The cigarette in his slender fingers burned to the end, and a string of long ash finally fell and burned his hand. He raised his eyebrows and threw away the cigarette butt.

He picked up the phone. "Book a flight to New Xoford tomorrow morning for me."

Hanging up the phone, Bentley pressed his thin lips and closed his indifferent eyes.
