Chapter 25
“If I were you, I’d behave a little better and stop trying to challenge my bottom line.”
Brad’s face instantly changed at thest sentence. His gaze was sharp as <b>a </b>knife, and it pierced <b>through</b>.
Nadine’s heart.
<b>“</b>Who do you think you are? No one has ever dared to negotiate terms with me. Now, I’ll give you two options: forget about Tyler and return to Hamilton Estate, or I’ll kill you and Tyler so you two can be together in the afterlife.”
At that moment, Brad’s eyes surged with murderous intent, which crashed heavily <b>onto </b>Nadine. The
impact struck her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe.
“Brad, this is between us. Don’t involve others. There’s nothing between Tyler and I. Don’t wrong a good person. You’re already cheating on me with Jean. Why should you demand anything from me?”
This had nothing to do with Tyler. She couldn’t let him get involved.
The sudden mention of Jean intensified the frostiness in Brad’s eyes. He gripped her waist tighter.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Grinding his teeth, he said, “Don’t you dare mention her name!”
Before this, Nadine felt that the reason he didn’t want to divorce was because he still cared a little for
their marriage.
But now, hearing those words from his mouth, Nadine lost all hope<b>.</b>
This was the power of first love. Jean was Brad’s soft spot and his bottom line. She didn’t even need to
say anything, but she had already won Nadine.
To Brad, Jean was different from anyone else and couldn’t bepared.
At that moment, Nadine realized just how low she stood in Brad’s heart. The man she once worshiped now extinguished all remnants of her affection with his own words.
No matter what, Jean was irreceable in his heart.
She obediently stopped talking and just stood there quietly. There was no expression on her overly fair
face.
Noticing Nadine obeying, Brad looked at her. “Jeanie isn’t the person you think she is. She never meant to break up our marriage. Don’t judge her with such malicious thoughts.”
As he spoke of Jean, his tone was gentle and soft. Even the chill around him dissipated somewhat.
Nadine still remained silent.
Brad disliked her, so everything she said or did was wrong. It was better to save her energy than to argue
with him.
“Nadine, you know my family doesn’t allow people to get divorced. My cousin is the best example. I hope
won’t bring this up again in the future. It won’t do you any good.
<b>you</b>
If <b>you </b><b>divorce </b><b>me </b><b>now</b>, Grandpa will <b>think </b><b>It </b>was Jeanie who forced us to <b>divorce</b>. <b>He’ll </b>have <b>a </b><b>bad </b>Impression of <b>her</b><b>. </b>Don’t <b>make </b>trouble out of nothing<b>.</b><b>”</b>
At first, it sounded like constion. But upon closer inspection, there was nofort in it at all–<b>just </b><b>a</b>
velled threat.
Nadineughed at his words. “<b>Brad</b><b>, </b>who do you think you are? Why should I cooperate with your charade? If Jean is <b>worried </b>about Grandpa’s impression of her, then she shouldn’t do things to break up
our marriage!”
Brad’s anger, which had just dissipated slightly, red up again when he heard her words. Instantly, his expression darkened, and he turned hostile<b>.</b>
With one hand, he gripped Nadine’s chin tightly. “I told you. You’re not worthy of mentioning her name!” Nadine winced at the pain of his grip. Tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision.
