“Are you really this shameless?” Stanford’s face was very hideous.
Lindsay immediately burst into laughter, to the point that her stomach began to ache.
“Shameless?” She was taunting him, “I want to not be shameless too, but it is you who makes me
shameless.”
She was only able to have this momentary freedom after becoming a sell-out.
“Stanford, how do I become like this?”
She was very agitated, “It’s you, it’s you who make me into who I am today. If you saved me back then,
do you think I would turn out like this? I am living like a mouse shunned out of the streets every day,
like a ghost who can only hide itself. Do you know how I got through the time when in jail?”
“Do you mean that your life is a living hell? You completely deserve this.” Stanford’s face was utterly
cold. He didn’t even try to hide his contempt towards her even though she was beginning to say
something crazy.
“If everything starts over again, I wouldn’t save you anyway.”
What was the most chilling and hopeless feeling in the world?
Probably like now, when someone you love wants you dead.
“Are you that resentful of me?”
Lindsay’s lips were trembling.
“Yes, I hate you that much.” Stanford’s expression returned to its previous calmness as his anger
dissipated into thin air. It was not worth it for him to be enraged because of her. She was not worthy of
his emotions!
“If I could, I would have strangled you to death in the first place.”
Lindsay’s eyes were bloodshot, “Because of Amanda?”
“You don’t even have the right to mention her,” Stanford replied coldly.
“Hmph,” Lindsay began to laugh maniacally, “Now that you’re in my hands being a lamb on the
slaughter board, you still dare to provoke me. Are you that tired of living?”
Alyssa was hiding in a room at this moment. Although she was guilty too, she didn’t want to expose
herself for now. Lindsay would carry out the rest of their plan.
However, it seemed that Lindsay was only focused on her own revenge. She had forgotten about what
they had discussed before.
Alyssa came out and interjected, “About the stock transfer, let him sign this.”
Lindsay was fuming and her emotions were boiling. She roared, “You shut the hell up!”
Alyssa was stunned for a moment, and then she retaliated, “You should shut up. If it were not for me,
do you think you would have the chance to stand in front of Stanford like this?”
Lindsay was tired of getting oppressed, and after Alyssa roared at her like that, she finally lost control.
She came to her and slapped her, “If I didn’t fall off, do you think I would coerce with you? Don’t you
want to look at yourself in the mirror? You are nothing but a mistress who has destroyed a family, but
you still dare to act high and mighty in front of me.”
Alyssa clutched her cheeks which was stinging now.
Her eyes were widened to the extreme.
“You…”
She found this hard to believe.
“You dare to hit me?” Alyssa wasn’t someone who would lose just like that. She grabbed Lindsay’s hair
and screamed, “Don’t you know that how I have suffered?”
The two of them who should be cooperating at this moment began to have a fistfight just because of
some mere words.
The two women were grappling at each other’s hair and cursing at each other. For a moment, they
forgot about why they were here in the first place.
Stanford stared at them coldly.
After half an hour, the two of them finally stopped due to fatigue. With some wounds on their faces,
they asked each other, “Why are we here in the first place?”
Alyssa wiped her face in response.
Lindsay didn’t say anything but she was finally able to cool down after a fight.
Now that things had turned out like this, Alyssa wouldn’t be able to get out of this clean even if she
wanted to. She went to fetch the stock transfer document immediately and put it on the table, “Stanford,
the properties of the James family doesn’t just belong to you alone. It’s been too long since you have a
monopoly over it. Now, sign this, and give the company to George. I will still let you walk out of this
alive, or else…”
“He’s mine. You don’t have the right to deal with him!” Lindsay came over.
Alyssa looked up and replied, “Lindsay, do you want me to call the police and ask them to detain you?”
“Are you threatening me?” Lindsay widened her eyes, and her expression was very grotesque.
“No, I just want the rights to the stocks, and you want to deal with the person himself. When I finally get
those stocks, you can do anything you want with him.” Alyssa didn’t argue with her this time. She was
not young anymore, and she couldn’t well just brawl with her. She was at a disadvantage in the fight
just now.
Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to knock Lindsay out, even though she didn’t like the prospect of
negotiating with words, she thought it was best not to involve in fistfights again.
When she finally got the rights to the stocks, it was still not too late to call the police.
Now, it was not worth it to argue with someone who had long given up on her life.
“This should cut it.” Lindsay sat down finally.
Alyssa snorted coldly and praised herself secretly for being the more experienced one here. When she
got what she wanted, she could still teach Lindsay a lesson later on.
“Sign it.” Alyssa urged impatiently.
Stanford continued to maintain his signature indifferent expression. He was cold, and something dark
was brewing on his face too.
He didn’t respond at all to Alyssa’s words.
“Stanford, look carefully at the situation you are in now. I can end your life anytime!
If you die, your assets will all fall into my hands anyway. You don’t have any relative, and your father,
me and your brother all have the rights to it too.” She started to lose her composure.
Lindsay’s gaze immediately darted in Alyssa’s direction, as if to spell out the unspoken words: His life is
not within your control.
Stanford eyed Lindsay wordlessly and knew that they were only cooperating because of mutual
benefits. If one of them were to suffer any losses, they would not back down in any way.
He said purposely, “Then just kill me.”
Alyssa shot up from her chair.
Lindsay stood up too, “Don’t you dare move.”
Alyssa insisted, “We are on the same side this time.”
“But we agreed that you are in for the money and I am in for the person himself. Who do you think you
are to lay a finger on him?” Lindsay maintained her stance.
Alyssa was boiling with anger deep down, and if she couldn’t resort to threats, how was she going to
make Stanford sign the document?
Lindsay rolled her eyes around and a terrible, vicious idea came to her, “Do you think what Stanford
fear the most now?”
“What?” Alyssa asked.
Lindsay smiled, “There’s someone so important that his life pales in comparison. She would make him
give up anything too.”
“And who is that?”
“Simona.”
“Isn’t she dead?”
“She’s not. She’s actually who people refer to as Amanda nowadays.
Alyssa was utterly shocked by the fact that Simona wasn’t actually dead.
However, how could they use that woman?
“If I were really dead, I would make sure he’s with me.” Lindsay looked at Stanford, “I couldn’t be born
on the same bed as me, but I will make sure we will die the same death. As for Amanda, if he
continues not to sign the document, by the time he’s dead, you can spend some big cash and hire
people to teach that woman a lesson.”
Lindsay was a selfish person. If she couldn’t accomplish something, she would try to entice others to
do it for her. It was just that sometimes she wasn’t that persuasive.
Alyssa thought about this suspiciously, and she silently stared at Stanford.
Stanford was still putting on that calm and emotionless face, but when inspected closely, you would
discover that veins were bulging on the back of his hand as if he was suppressing himself very hard.
Lindsay continued, “Amanda was who Stanford cared about the most currently, and she was also his
ex-wife too…”
“Lindsay!” Stanford’s face was so darkened that it was frightening as if a clear, sunny day was suddenly
replaced with dark clouds.
Lindsay wasn’t intimidated as she got close to him, “Stanford, I won’t let you go no matter what. I have
no chance to get out of City B, which means I will get found out sooner or later. My life will end sooner
or later, and you’re going to accompany me on this trip. Faster sign the documents that enable the
stocks to be transferred and make her get lost so that we can spend some good times as a couple.”
She deliberately dragged on her last few words to make it sound ambiguous.
Alyssa felt disgusted when she listened to that, and it was only because Lindsay was contributing to
her cause that she didn’t show it on her face.
“Stanford, do you really want to see her doing something bad to Amanda?” Lindsay brought up
Amanda once again.
She wanted Alyssa to know where Stanford’s weakness was.
Alyssa caught on fast enough, “Stanford, you better don’t waste any more time. Sign this piece
obediently and I won’t make things difficult for you. If you don’t want to do that, I will make sure to bring
harm to Amanda once I get the chance.”
She then shoved a pen into Stanford’s palm, “Sign it.”
