Cora was shocked with her eyes wide open while glaring at him.
However, the anger on his face seemed to fade away magically. Instead, he let out an evil smile. Then
he touched her face, unpredictable, “Honey, you still haven’t learnt to behave yourself. You love to
make me mad, huh?”
Cora seemed to flinch a bit. Actually, she did show fear while facing his unpredictable move. In her
view, he was a cunning foreign guy, being too sophisticated to be understood. No one could tell what
was his plan for the next move.
When facing such a horrible guy, one should be suggested to ally with him. Once he turned to be the
enemy, it would be really tricky.
As Cora was about to flinch back, June suddenly grabbed her.
“Honey, you are not allowed to be panic because of me.” June patted on her face and said, “You really
disgraced your parents as the one being dumped by a man for long. I saw your mom leaving while
wiping her own tears. I suppose in your country, being filial is part of your tradition, right? Do you feel at
ease to see your mom suffering from such disgrace?”
What he said had finally shaken her stubbornness a bit.
June then asked with his deadly voice, “Do you fancy a revenge?”
Cora rolled her eyeballs and looked at him confusedly, “How?”
“Be my girl! I will suffice whatever you ask for.” June offered.
Hatred seemed to rush out of her eyes. She clenched her fists hard with her head down, “I want the
death of Ophelia. Can you do that?”
“Well, it depends on the level of your resolve.” Answered June casually.
Cora remained silent for a while.
June didn’t intend to push her.
After quite a while, Cora raised up her head, “If you can kill her, that’s the deal.”
‘Zachariah, since I fail to win your heart, don’t ever dream about spending the rest of your life with
Ophelia!’
June smiled, “I have a great idea. Do you want to know?”
Cora blinked her eyes, looking curious.
June said, “Actually, death isn’t always the most merciless torture. Instead, a break-up resulted from
misunderstanding and the failure to remarry no matter how much they still love each other would be the
best answer. The love that could never be whole tortures the most. Don’t you think so?”
Burning hatred was now clearly shown in her eyes.
“So you have a plan?”
“I am willing to destroy the woman you hate as long as you choose to stay with me.” June then
continued with confidence, “I can knock down whoever you hate. But I don’t want to experience the
taste of betrayal after that. Especially your betrayal after everything is done.”
Cora fixed her eyes on him, “You know everything about me during the recent period. Do you think that
I can run away from you? You are being too horribly capable to be avoided.” Cora seemed to give in.
June suddenly laughed out, “I am glad you could tell the truth now. Honey, you are destined to be mine.
And I will never just stand by and watch while my girl is under suffering. Honey, just rest assure. I will
definitely stir up a divorce between Ophelia and Zachariah. And you only belong to me. So I suggest
you should cut off any unrealistic dreaming inside your head.”
Cora bit her lips hard to say firmly, “I will be yours as long as you finish her!”
June bit her cheek on the right hard, “Honey, mark your words! If you dare to betray, just be ready to
face something worse than death.”
Cora buried herself into his arms. Her eyes seemed to be stained with poison.
Meanwhile, Zachariah took out a cigarette, lit it up and exhaled a whiff of smoke elegantly as he just
walked out of the ward. He seemed to be lost in thought. But what was in his mind no one could exactly
tell.
He kept sucking and let out continuous smoke, which went all the way up and lingered around his
head.
Zachariah simply sat on the stairs regardless of the stain on the ground. As he smoked, mixed feelings
surged up in his mind.
Though he had declared his attitude about Cora just now, he still found it difficult to have a clean cut.
Of course, he felt so out of common nature as a human. After all, he had been obsessed with her for so
long. He could never simply dump either when he learnt that their relationship had gone impossible.
Otherwise, both Ophelia and Cora would have found themselves a better alternative.
Indeed, he showed a facade as an irresponsible playboy and he got two ladies involved in the whirlpool
of love he stirred up. However, either of the two would have to end up with great sadness and be forced
to quit because of his final choice.
If it weren’t a few months earlier, he would have a clean break-up with Ophelia. And then he would
have turned a blind eye on her sadness even though he would notice. Or he would have just stood by
and watched her crying. He would never care about being cursed as a jerk. As indifferent as he had
always been, he would still show no response.
However, just only in a few months, he totally changed his mind. If it weren’t because of the car crash,
it might have taken him a longer time to realize what he truly wanted, which then led to his decision this
time.
