Chapter 124
I quickly put away my phone, not knowing if he had heard what I said.
“Is there something?”
Ferris walked in: “Were you talking to Adrian on the phone?
I didn’t deny it. “Yes,”
“Do you know what Adrian came here to do?” Ferris suddenly asked.
I looked at him confused: “What?”
“He’s walking on thin ice now. Black Mountain pack is facing internal and external troubles. His brother and uncle have joined with outsiders to deal with him. If I cut off all his projects, do you think he’ll still be alive when he goes back?”
Ferris spoke unhurriedly.
My eyes tightened.
I had always known that Adrian faced pressure in Black Mountain pack, but I never knew the specifics of what he was going through.
Many times, I noticed he would be seriously injured.
“Doing something that hurts others without benefiting yourself isn’t your style, is it?” I pretended to be calm.
Ferris’s tall figure blocked my way.
“From your words, you seem to understand me well? How do you know I’m not benefiting myself?” His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly.
I met his gaze: “Spending more money to do losing business, isn’t that not benefiting yourself?”
Ferris sneered coldly, “You’re wrong. I never do losing business.”
“Sitting in my current position, I know some business isn’t about money.”
All these years, why had he repeatedly suppressed Adrian’s business projects, making them struggle?
Wasn’t it to vent his hatred?
If it weren’t for Adrian, would Aurora dare to speak to him like this now?

Chapter 124
Thinking of this, Ferris became furious.
I understood Terris less and less.
We had known each other for over ten years, but whether after marriage or now, I never understood him.
Similarly, Ferris had never understood me either.
Our separation was indeed right.
“Then why do you do this?” I asked.
“To make him suffer, to make you miserable!” Terris spoke word by word.
My hanging hands dug deep into my palms. I really wanted to slap this bastard, but didn’t want to anger him at this
moment.
“How have I wronged you? Why do you hate me so much?”
Ferris’s hand fell on my shoulder, leaning down to my ear: “You shouldn’t have run away, shouldn’t have lied to me.”
My eyelashes drooped slightly: “So you can bully me, and I should just let you bully me without resisting, is that it?”
Ferris’s throat tightened.
“When did I ever bully you?”
He thought that during their marriage, he had treated me reasonably well.
“I gave you endless money to spend. Apart from love, what did you want that I didn’t give you?”
After their marriage, he had Simon transfer the monthly household expenses to me.
That money would last ordinary people several lifetimes.
Money again…
“I never used that money, and that’s not what I wanted.” I murmured back.
Ferris suddenly lowered his head to kiss me. I was startled by the sudden kiss and hurriedly dodged.
His thin lips fell on my forehead, on my face…
I couldn’t help but raise my hand to hit him. But Ferris caught my wrist and pulled me tightly into his arms.
“I’m giving you what you want now.”

Chapter 125
When I used to love him desperately, he said he would never touch me in this lifetime.
Now that I chose to leave, was he going back on his word?
“You don’t understand what I want at all.” My eyes reddened slightly.
Ferris leaned against my shoulder, breathing heavily: “What do you want? Tell me.”
I was pressed against the wall by him.
“I used to want your love, wanted it so badly. I really wanted you to love me.”
Used to…
Ferris held me tighter: “What about now?”
“Now I want to live well by myself.”
Ferris’s arms around me wanted to merge me into his very bones.
“You once said you would only love me in this lifetime. Your love is really cheap.”
I hadn’t expected that my love for him all these years would be described by him as “cheap.”
I felt it was particularly unworthy.
“Yes, I now feel it was particularly unworthy.”
The veins on Ferris’s forehead bulged, his eyes reddened, and he pressed my head against his chest.
I felt like I could barely breathe, gasping for air.
But Ferris wouldn’t let me go, wanting to hear me apologize.
But I was stubborn and wouldn’t apologize.
Just like when I loved someone, once I was determined, I wouldn’t turn back until I hit a wall.
Now that I was determined about something, I wouldn’t easily apologize either.
My body wasn’t well to begin with, and with him doing this, my breathing gradually became weak.
When Ferris noticed, he quickly let me go, but before I could catch my breath, he kissed me again.
Chapter 123
My mind went blank. When I gradually became clear. Ferris had already removed most of my clothes.
When my hack was against the cold wall, I came to my sense and pleaded:
“Wait, could you wait a few days?”
“Why wait?”
1 thought for a moment, and a lie slipped out: “My period istift over yet.”
Hearing this, Ferris stopped with restraint and held me as we lay on the bed.
I hadn’t expected him to believe it, and my tense body relaxel slightly.
I thought Ferris had calmed down, but he still held me tightly and wouldn’t let go.
Maybe because I was too tired today, I fell asleep not long after.
himself.
Ferris listened to my even breathing, but couldn’t fall
“How could you change your heart?” he asked softly.
The next day.
When I woke up, Ferris was no longer beside me.
When I got up to wash, looking in the mirror, I found my neck was covered with purple–red marks–all Ferris’s handiwork from last night.
I tried to cover them with foundation, but couldn’t hide them
Having no choice, I changed to a high–necked shirt and let my hair down to cover them.
After washing up, I went out and saw Ferris sitting in the living room, looking through documents.
“Come with me to the central building today,” he said. Before I could refuse, he said meaningfully, “Trust me, there’s someone there you want to see.”
I could only follow his request: “Then let’s go.”
Before going to the company, Ferris insisted I eat breakfast first.
I had no appetite, but under his watchful eye, I finished the entire plate.
Arriving at the company.
Simon had arrived early, looking at me with some embarrassment and apprehension.
Chapter 125
Boss, everything is arranged.”
I stood beside Ferris, not knowing what was arranged.
When I followed Terris to the CEO’s office, I immediately saw Adrian in a sharp suit, his tall figure inside.
The man had a stern expression, cold light flickering in his eyes.
Ferris was no less imposing, and when the two stood together, they were evenly matched.
I couldn’t help but remember what Ferris had said last night about destroying all of Adrian’s domestic projects.
Would Adrian have trouble when he returned to Black Mountain pack?
