Chapter 205


    Chapter 205 Nearly Choked to Death


    As Monica began to suffocate, she instinctively struggled and resisted by grabbing Stanley’s arm.


    However, the man’s raw power kept forcing her back. Soon, Stanley walked through the door and


    strengthened his grip around her throat, forcing her to retreat until her back was against the wall.


    At the same time, he looked at her as if he was going to kill her right away. In the meantime, Monica


    could sense Stanley’s overwhelming emotions, suffocating so much that her eyes almost popped out.


    Then, she slowly let go of his hand and stared at him like she was ready to ept her death.


    “What did you guys do to her?” Stanley gritted his teeth and asked, “Did you have anything to do with


    Melinda’s disappearance? Do you know where she is now?” The man’s anger was consuming his


    rational mind more and more with every second.


    Nevertheless, Monica didn’t show any signs of resistance, only closing her eyes even though she was


    about to run out of breath. “I can give you what she can.” She mustered all her courage and uttered


    those words through her teeth. “To die… At your hands… Is an honor…”


    “I don’t care how noble you make yourself seem. I’d still strangle you to death anyway!” Stanley


    tightened the grip around Monica’s throat, his eyes filled with rage and wrath.


    Monica’s face was turning red as her veins popped. “Kill me. This is my final way of showing you how


    much I love you.”


    “Tell me where she is now.” Stanley stared at Monica with his piercing gaze. “This is your only chance!”


    At that moment, Monica was already out of energy to talk, only shaking her head painfully. Upon


    noticing her reaction, Stanley deduced that she might not know anything at all and decided to let her go


    with hisst bit of rationality. After that, Monica was seen bending over, holding her throat while gasping


    for breath.


    On the other hand, Stanley only walked away, leaving Monica behind as she weakly caught her breath.


    At that moment, Monica was overwhelmed by a strong sense of humiliation that hurt her self-esteem so


    much, especially when she thought about her pastnovelxo fast update in which she was never


    short of admirers.


    Ironically, she abandoned her pride in front of Stanley and was even willing to give up her life for him.


    She then sat down with her back leaning against the wall, feeling ashamed of herself, but shortly after


    that, she began to me it all on Melinda.


    Meanwhile, Jennifer was standing in front of the window in her mansion at Repulse Bay, admiring the


    night view in a preupied manner. Deep down, she was worried about her son’s injury, but instead of


    calling him, she dialed another number. “Max, could you please keep Stanleypany tonight?”


    “Miss Fox, why did Ms. Paisley leave?” Max asked. “Are you aware of it?”


    Jennifer blinked at first. Then, she hung up the call without answering Max’s question. She was


    reminded of the first time she met Monica, letting out a sigh at the thought of that. Back when they first


    met each other, Monica was just an 11-year-old kid who appeared filthy and disheveled. However, she


    had a pair of bright eyes that were filled with determination and strong will. At that time, Jennifer felt as


    if she had just found her son the right person to marry. As the years passed by, Monica didn’t


    disappoint Jennifer, which made her believe her own initial intuition even more.


    After all, Jennifer witnessed how hard Monica worked to be a top student and eventually a


    sessful


    businesswoman. Due to Monica’s talent and dedication, Jennifer had somehow be biased toward


    her no matter what happened, and she was like a daughter to her.


    In the meantime, Stanley made his way back to Emerald Harbor as his butler, Gael, heaved a sigh of


    relief at the sight of his safe return. “Mr. Fox,” Gael greeted Stanley, but thetter only walked past him


    and went upstairs straight away without even looking back. Nheless, the observant butler was able


    to notice the wound on Stanley’s right hand. Thus, he picked up his first-aid kit and followed right


    behind Stanley until he heard the door being shut and locked.


    “Mr. Fox…” He was worried but didn’t dare knock on the door.


    “Is Daddy back?”


    “Why did he close the door so forcefully? Is he mad or something?” The kids’ voices sounded from


    behind Gael.


    When Pam saw the first-aid kit in Gael’s hand, she asked, “Mr. Gael, is Daddy hurt?”All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
