Chapter 314


    Inhaling deeply, I stifled the fury within me. Although I was currently fuming, I had no choice other than


    to keep myposure. For the safety of the child I''m carrying, I must remain calm!


    “Emma, not only are you a high-borndy, but you also have stunning looks. Many men like you, so


    why must you cling on to Michael? You should be able to sense that he doesn''t have any feelings for


    you.”


    I tried my utmost best to sound calm and collected. Her emotions are all over the ce now, so I can''t


    provoke her further.


    “Indeed, many men like me. But I don''t like them. Michael is the only person I fancy! Why does he not


    like me? And why would he fall for someone worthless like you instead? How are you better than me?”


    Resentment zed in Emma''s eyes, and hatred had long since pervaded her entire being. Anyhow, I


    inwardly breathed a long sigh of relief upon seeing that her attention had been diverted by my words


    earlier.


    “It takes two to tango when ites to matters of the heart. Some people and things can''t be forced.


    Don''t stray from the path, or you''ll only be regretting it at the end of the day.”


    Emma was a terrifying woman, yet I pitied her all the same.


    Despite being pampered since young and having tons of suitors, the person whom she truly loves has


    never spared her a nce. Actually, God is fair. My life has been miserable since young, but I''ve


    attained happiness for the rest of my life now that I''ve gotten together with Michael. In contrast to the


    hardships I suffered in the past, it all pales inparison in retrospect.


    “Can''t be forced? Are you telling me that Michael will never be with me no matter what I do?”


    Grasping the meaning of my remark, Emma abruptly turned to stare at me, her eyes burning with rage.


    Conversely, I gazed into her eyes calmly. At such a time, I couldn''t argue with her anymore. Her


    emotions were extreme in the first ce, so I would only be in greater peril if I were to go against her.


    “You know full well that he doesn''t love you. So, why are you still hanging on to him? You''re


    exceedingly beautiful and could easily seek out your own happiness,” Imented once more with my


    eyes fixated on her.


    Perhaps my words struck a chord in Emma, for tears shimmered in her eyes.


    “Seek out my own happiness? In this entire world, the only person who can give me happiness is


    Michael! As you stole him from me, Anna Garcia, I''ll certainly make you pay the price for having done


    so!”


    Just when I thought that she was swayed, her gaze turned cial in the blink of an eye. She turned to


    me fully, the indifferent smile ying on her lips growing increasingly distinct.


    “What...”


    At the sight of her condition right then, I was so petrified that words eluded me. I pulled out all stops to


    persuade her just now, yet she still wants to eliminate me now!


    “Anna, you rambled on and on just because you wanted me to let you off, no? How could I possibly


    spare you when you stole Michael? You must pay the price today!”


    Emma regarded me frostily, the curve of her lips particrly eerie.

    “Are you really not afraid that Michael would learn of this, Emma? Do you think he''ll fall for you after


    you kill me?”


    I eyed the knife in her hand apprehensively with my heart lodged in my throat.


    “Anna, I won''t change my mind no matter what you say now. Even if he doesn''t love me, I won''t allow


    the two of you to be together. If I can''t have him, nobody else can have him!” Emma shrieked furiously.


    I thought she would immediately stab me with the knife, but that wasn''t what happened. Instead, she


    strode away.


    At that, I studied her in puzzlement, not quite understanding what exactly she wanted to do. Could it be


    that all she said earlier was simply to scare me? And in reality, she doesn''t have the nerve to finish me


    off?


    When that thought urred to me, relief suffused me. No matter how nasty her words are, I don''t mind


    putting up with it as long as she doesn''t do anything to hurt me or the baby in my stomach.


    “Even if I kill you, Anna, I won''t grant you such an easy death. I''ll make it so that you''ll be humiliated


    even in death!”


    A cold gleam of calction shed across Emma''s eyes. The words out of her mouth had dread rising


    within me since I had no idea what her precise n was.


    “What do you want from me, Emma?”


    I stared at her nervously, my eyes long since nketed with ayer of terror.


    “You love seducing men and sleeping with them, no? I''ll have you thoroughly satisfied today!”


    After saying that, Emma waved a hand before I could even register what she meant. At once, several


    men from a near distance away started strutting toward me.


    In a trice, my heart lurched. As though a light bulb had gone off in my head, I anxiously looked at the


    approaching men, my heart pounding wildly.


    “What are you doing, Emma? Get them away from me!”


    I struggled with all my might even as I fearfully eyed the men who were drawing closer to me. By then, I


    was already a touch incoherent.


    “Don''t you like seducing men? Let them all enjoy themselves today, then. Anna, I''m going to destroy


    your reputation so that you''ll never again be able to show your face before Michael for the rest of your


    days!”


    That utterance of hers verified the assumption ying in my mind, and the trepidation within me


    snowballed.


    At that moment, those sleazy-looking men were mere steps away from me. I frantically darted my eyes


    at Emma, still harboring a shred of hope within me.


    “You can''t do this, Emma! Order them to go away!”


    Oh no, I''m nauseated just by looking at these few men walking toward me! If I truly end up being


    vited by them, I think I might not even have the courage to continue living in this world!


    “I''m going to ruin youpletely, Anna! I''m going to make certain that you feel filthy until the day you


    die! Haha!”


    Emma cackled callously, herughter sending a chill down my spine.


    Right then, those few men had already reached me. As their lecherous countenances appeared before


    me, I became all the more terrified.


    “This woman looks quite pretty, and she''s got an alluring figure as well.”


    “Hear, hear. Look at her generous bosom and slender waist. It''ll definitely feel amazing when we do her


    later!”


    They started discussing my attributes, and all the words out of their mouth were downright revolting.


    Subsequently, one of the men reached out to touch my face. I immediately turned my face away to


    avoid his touch.


    “Get lost! Don''t touch me!”


    Confronted by thosescivious men, I was gripped by the urge to curse them out right then and there.


    “Whoa! She''s a feisty one! I like it!”


    “It gets boring after doing docile women too many times, so this is a perfect opportunity for a change of


    pace!”


    “It''s awkward to do her standing, guys. There''s a table over there, so let''s put her on that table.”


    One of the men pointed at the table a stone''s throw away as he spoke to the others. Upon hearing that,


    they untied me and dragged me to the table.
