Queen Revenge

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, his erect and slim back stiffened slightly, then slowly and methodically straightened his tuxedo.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

His mellow voice rang through the air, “Uh-huh.”

His tone was as light as that, as if he were admitting something commonplace.

Just as his words fell, I realized that the power of a single word was so strong, like a poisoned arrow shot at me, hard and steady in the heart, so painful that I could barely stand.

I secretly changed my breath, my face was pale, and I asked in a daze, “You have a bitter feeling right, you must have another plan for doing this, Susan Su she came to you that day, you were acting with her …”

“I’m just taking the opportunity to get you to quit of your own accord.” Walker Richter turned back, his tone consistently cool, “Alva, we’re both adults, so we don’t need to make a scene.”

He paused, his thin lips pursed, “I admit, you are different from other women, I have liked you, and I have had happiness with you, but I know very well what kind of woman I need, Su has been with me for many years, and I should have given her an explanation a long time ago.”

He had never said those words so bluntly and calmly before.

“No, that’s clearly not what you said before.” I panicked at once, I couldn’t see half a lie in his deep eyes, he finished with me in a calm tone, “Susan Su she likes Ben Richter, I saw them together with my own eyes, the person Susan Su wants to marry is not you.”

“Alva, I don’t care what she was like before, as long as she wants to be with me now, that’s enough.”

Walker Richter took two steps forward, raised his hand and caressed my face, his voice was deep and extremely nice, just very cold, cold into the bone marrow: “I don’t have a lot of time, I can’t give you any other compensation, there are still a few stores under my name, which have all been transferred to your name, which is considered as a compensation for you, and if I have an untimely death one of these days, the custody of sweetheart is also yours. I can see that you truly love sweetheart, and I am very relieved to give her to you.”

He was clearly breaking up with me with the most hurtful words, but it sounded like he was explaining the aftermath.

Walker Richter has already given me a lot of money, enough to spend for the rest of my life, and it’s not this compensation I want, but he’s made it clear that’s all he can compensate me for.

He took out a necklace from the drawer, the pendant was very unique, with an openwork carved design, and inside there was a black bead, not knowing what material it was made of, it was very black and shiny, like an eye.

He put it on for me, cupping the pendant in his hand, and said with a grave expression, “Keep it well, don’t ever throw it away again, this is what I left for sweetheart, when sweetheart grows up, you give this to her, consider it as my dowry for her.”

The tip of my nose turned sour as I looked into Walker Richter’s obsidian eyes, I knew that this man had something to hide from me, he was by no means a desperate man, and the fact that he could give me custody of SWEETHEART meant that I was the one he trusted the most.

“Walker …”

“Walker,” Susan Su pushed her way in, she had changed into her wedding dress for tomorrow’s wedding and was so beautiful, like a fairy who had fallen to earth.

Walker Richter tucks the pendant into my shirt and looks at Susan Su with a smile.

Susan Su ignored me outright, a happy smile raised on her face as she lifted her skirt and twirled it in front of Walker Richter, “Isn’t it pretty?”

“Beautiful.” Walker Richter hooked his lips, “Tomorrow you’ll be the prettiest bride in the world.”

Susan Su smiled and stretched out her slender arms to hook around Walker Richter’s neck, “Walker, I’m really happy, when you get better, we’re going to have a baby, what do you say.”

“All according to you.” Walker Richter reached up with doting eyes and scraped the tip of Susan Su’s nose, “We’ll have a soccer team.”

Susan Su pouted, “Yuck.”

I clenched my hands that were hanging at my sides, my eyes were sore and I tried to force the tears back.

“Miss Hill,” Susan Su said in slight surprise as if she had only just seen me, “What brings you here, are you here to congratulate us? You come to our wedding tomorrow too.”

This is her way of showing off to me that Walker Richter chose her, and regardless of the process, she won.

But does she really care if she wins or loses this one?

It should be Tina Deross she wants to win and Ben Richter she wants to marry, but why she agreed to marry Walker Richter is unknown.

And tomorrow’s wedding is something I can’t stop.

Without waiting for me to speak, Walker Richter started, “What’s the point of her coming to the table.”

Yeah, I’m going to count for something.

I don’t have a decent status in THE Hill family, nor do I have one in THE Richter family, so what status do I take to attend?

And if I were to show up at their wedding, my face, which looks exactly like the old Bella Hill’s, would be enough to make the wedding even more exciting.

I sniffled and pushed my sadness to the back of my mind, and without moving my face I said, “I have something to do tomorrow, so I won’t be there.”

I don’t know how I got out of that suffocating space when all I wanted to do was run away, no matter what other machinations, true or false, were inside this wedding.

This night I wandered the streets, sadly realizing that I had nowhere to go, not a single light was lit for me in this huge city.

Sinking and sinking in this relationship has left nothing but exhaustion.

I sat in the cold square, squeezing the necklace Walker Richter had given me in my hand, the beads in the pendant like eyes glowing an eerie blue in the refraction of the streetlights.

I held the glow in my hand, probably, and that was all I had.

Laughing bitterly, Martin Mo called when I was down and out.

Looking at the caller, I knew why he was calling.

I didn’t answer the phone and after I rang off, Fiona Croix called back.

I just had to get on the phone so they wouldn’t worry.

“Alva, where are you? I came to find you.”

Fiona Croix’s voice came through the earpiece, and the familiarity of it made me feel better inside.

I tried to stabilize my tone to keep Fiona Croix from worrying, “I’m fine, you guys don’t have to worry, I’ll just walk outside and go back.”

“It’s not safe for you to be out there alone this late, so why don’t you just tell me where you are and I’ll come pick you up.”

The wind picked up and a drop of rain hit his face.

I opened my eyes and waited for the sourness in them to dissipate a bit before I said, “28 People’s Road.”

“Okay, stay there and I’ll be right over.”

After I hung up, I sat and stayed still as the raindrops got bigger and denser, and by the time Fiona Croix arrived, I was soaked to the bone.

She held the umbrella and scolded me with hatred, “You’re stupid, it’s raining so hard, why are you still sitting, and don’t find a place to shelter from the rain.”

“The rain was pretty timely.” I tilted my head and pulled a smile, “It’s sobering to get wet and calm down.”

“Come back with me first, if you get wet like this, you’ll be sick before they get married.”

Fiona Croix realized she had said the wrong thing and smacked herself in the mouth, “I meant, your body is important, don’t get sick.”
