Chapter 1017


    Apart from not being able to sleep in the same room a s her, Ben was practically wless.


    Inparison, the man in front of her went dining, wining, whoring, and gambling. Whenever he


    lost money, he would beat her up. She must have been blind back then to marry him.


    "Why did youe back?" she asked coldly.


    Like pliers, the man squeezed her chin with his hands and said viciously, "Are you avoiding me


    because I''ve been to jail, Marilyn?"


    Furious, the man pushed her onto the courtyard wall and pressed his body against hers roughly.


    "Tell me, are you in love with that wild man you picked up?"


    When Marilyn made no reply, the man rolled up her skirt in anger.


    Marilyn hissed. "Are you crazy? Do you know where this is? How dare you-"


    "I’m doing this with my woman, is there a problem?"


    When the unspeakable act ended, Marilyn slumped on his body.

    The man squeezed her fair and tender face with satisfaction. "Marilyn, you''ll be mine and mine


    alone. I don’t care if you have feelings for that pretty boy or not. Now that I’m back, you have to cut


    all ties with


    him. I''m taking you away."


    Marilyn did not want to live a day with this man, but a t the thought that this man would mess up the


    happy life she so painstakingly hoped for just because she was not Ben’s legal wife, she became


    selfish.


    "I can’t leave with you yet, Ken. After I brought Ben back, for so many years, I worked so hard to


    provide for him and finally got him to like me a little. Now, he’s capable of making money, lots and


    lots of money. It''ll be my loss if I leave him now, won''t it?"


    The man was sullen. "Everyone in the fishing vige knows that he’s a useless piece of trash who


    can’t do anyborious or dirty work, though I did hear that the useless piece of trash looks pretty


    and that many superstars can’t evenpare to him. Do you have feelings for him, Marilyn?


    "Betray me and I''ll put you through hell."


    Marilyn knew what a torment it would be to be abused by him, so she said quickly, "I don’t like him.


    Something is wrong with him, so he can’t live with me like how a normal husband and wife can."


    "Is that true?"


    "Of course, it''s true. It''s been three years now. Why did you think I haven’t given Tiger a little brother


    or a little sister?"


    The man’s anger dissipated a little after hearing her words.


    Marilyn fished out the card Ben gave her and handed i t to him, hoping that money could be the


    solution to this. "This is the money he''s earned. There are hundreds of thousands of dors in it.


    Take it and leave quickly."


    She then warned him again and again. "Don’t ever let him find out about us. He''s a prideful man. If


    he finds out about our affair, he''ll definitely demand for a divorce. If that happens, we won’t get a


    single penny and can only go back to living a poor and hard life in the fishing vige."


    When the man heard that Ben could make a lot of money, his eyes shed with greed.


    He snatched the card from Marilyn''s hand, brushed her nose, and said, "You''d better not be lying to


    me. If there’s no money in the card, I''lle back and deal with you after that."


    Marilyn said, "Hurry up and go. He''ll be back very soon. It''ll be over if he sees us. When I receive


    enough money for us to live a good life, I''ll leave him."


    Therefore, the man left with the card.


    Marilyn patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.


    She picked up Tiger and left.


    When Jay came home, he saw Marilyn weeping silently while holding Tiger in her arms.


    Jay’s heart sank a little as he hastened over.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Marilyn raised her teary and heartbroken face. "I''m sorry, darling. I identally lost the bank card


    you gave me when I went to buy some groceries today!"


    At the thought of the huge amount of money in the card and how he had worked so hard to earn it,


    Marilyn was mentally prepared to be scolded and beaten.


    The nervousness in Jay''s heart dissipated. He said breezily, "Forget about the card. What''s more


    important is that both you and Tiger are fine."


    Marilyn was stumped. For a moment, she felt overwhelmed.


    "You don’t me me?" she asked in disbelief.


    Jay walked into the bedroom with the books in his arms while answering her, "Money is merely


    worldly possessions. Besides, I can report to the authority if the card is lost."


    He ced Hacker Empire on the desk in the bedroom carefully, then grabbed his mobile phone and


    called the bank to report the lost card.


    Unfortunately, thedy told him that the bank card was already empty.
