Chapter 1073


    Angeline''s furious face was gradually enveloped in sadness. "Do you know who I am, Marilyn?"


    Marilyn stared at her in surprise. "You''re Grand Asia''s president, aren''t you?"


    Angeline replied, "No, I’m Ben''s wife!"


    Marilyn was struck dumb. All the defenses in her heart crumbled instantly. She shook her head


    vigorously, refusing to believe the truth. "That''s not true. That''s not true."


    She then red at Angeline. "I know you like Ben and that''s why you''re lying to get him!"


    Angeline sneered, "Do you think I''m like you? Marilyn Auberge, I''ll give you two options. Number


    one, surrender yourself for tricking Ben into marrying you and illegally imprisoning Ben for three


    years. That''s n o minor crime at all."


    Marilyn paled with fright. "No, no, I didn''t deceive him into marrying me. I saved him out of kindness.


    It was done purely out of kindness."


    Angeline yed a phone recording and Marilyn’s voice rang out.


    "I didn''t trick him into marriage. He willingly stayed b y my side to be my husband and have children


    with m


    e!"


    Angeline said, "I''ve recorded everything you said just now. If you want to give excuses, then do it in


    front of the judge. I have no time for this."


    Marilyn gulped as she sat limply on the ground.


    Angeline continued, "You have another choice—"


    A warm smile appeared on Angeline''s face before she said, "ording to thew, your crimes are


    no doubt unforgivable, but there''s also no denying that you saved him and brought him back to me.


    For this, I am grateful to you. I''m willing to give you a substantial amount of money so that you and


    Tiger can lead a life without worrying about food and clothing. But, you must leave immediately after


    you get the money."


    A hint of reluctance shed across Marilyn''s face. Ben was Grand Asia''s founder. When he returned


    to his position, she would get more benefits than what this woman was offering.


    Seemingly able to read her thoughts, Angeline said coldly, "Marilyn, if you think you still have a


    chance with him, then I advise you to give up because that''s just in wishful thinking."


    "Ben has mysophobia. If my guess is right, he feels nauseous and sick when he sees you. Now that


    he knows that you’ve tricked him into marrying you, I''m sure he will only have a greater aversion to


    seeing you. If you’re still hoping to get something out of him, then you''ll only be dreaming."


    In an instant, her and Ben’s interaction started shing in Marilyn''s mind-


    Back then, Ben disliked it whenever she touched him. I f she did, he would feel nauseated and sick.


    She thought that it was only a quirk of his, but turned out i t was mysophobia.


    To him, she was always dirty.


    As soon as she came to this conclusion, Marilyn felt inexplicably humiliated.


    Today, Ben no longer looked at her with the same gentle eyes. It was now reced with indifference


    and detachment as well as immense disgust and contempt.


    Ben rejected both her body and personality.


    Marilyn slowly got to her feet and relented. "Okay, I agree to your conditions."Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    The office door opened and Mimi carried Tiger in with Zayne following behind.


    Not only was Tiger not crying, but he was also holding a lot of snacks and toys in his arms, giggling


    with delight.


    "Mimi, write a check for 20 million dors and give it t o Marilyn."


    Mimi rolled her eyes at Marilyn and murmured, "Does she even deserve it? You''re nice enough to


    not send a person like that to prison. Why are you still giving her so much money? You''re too kind,


    Ms. Severe."


    After sending Marilyn away, Angelina let out a long sigh of relief.


    As she looked at the bright and dazzling sun outside the window, Angelina muttered, "It’s time for


    you toe home now, Jaybie.”


    She then quickly ordered Zayne, "Pick out a date for m e. I want to wee him home."


    Taken aback, Zayne asked, "Don’t you think that’s a bit too hasty?


    "He doesn''t even like you right now. He may not go home with you willingly."


    Angelina started weighing her gains and losses.


    She knew all too well how suffocating it would feel to stay with someone she did not like. She did


    not want Jay to fall into a situation that would make him ufortable again after what he


    experienced with Marilyn.


    "If that’s the case... Let''s wait a bit longer then."


    A trace of worry emerged in Angelina''s eyes. "But what if he just doesn''t like me anymore?"
