Chapter 99

I pulled the handle of the suitcase, my heart trembling with pain.
Although I had already made up my mind, if anything happened to my grandmother, I would give my life for her.
It is one thing to hear him say it with one’s own ears, but it is another thing altogether.
Johnathan laughed incredulously, “Oh, you’re willing to take her life?”
“There was nothing that I couldn’t bear to let go.”
Reynaldo’s tone was indifferent as he said, “I am no longer the same Reynaldo as before. I have now seen through her.”
She had no virtues at all, she lied, was greedy, cruel, power–hungry, and arrogant!
I self–mockingly pursed my lips, realizing that in Reynaldo’s heart, I was so unbearable.
Well, who would have a good impression of someone who had once bullied and humiliated them?
Johnathan chuckled, “So you still liked her that much.”
“I have never said that I liked her,” Reynaldo’s voice was cold and steady, word by word, “I hated her, always hated her.”
Have you always hated me?
I smiled, tears streaming down my face.

Even though I had long known that he despised me, I had long warned myself not to like him, otherwise it would be irreparable.
But at this moment, hearing him say such words, my heart still hurt badly.
What should I do?
It seems like I really got myself into this, what should I do?
Johnathan chuckled and said, “You’re just talking tough.”
“Alright…” Reynaldo’s tone was filled with impatience. “I’ve also given you all the project materials just now. You should follow up on this project.”
“Oh dear, this doesn’t seem to be your company’s project, right? How come? Did you just get it from someone else?”
Hmm, this doesn’t seem like a big project. What do you want to do here?
“You don’t have to worry about this, the matter of investment negotiation will be taken care of at that time…”
I didn’t have the mood to continue listening to the topic they were talking about afterwards.
I carried my shoes and suitcase, silently turned around and walked towards the staircase.
Goodbye, Reynaldo.
Since you hate me so much, despise me so much, then I will no longer appear in front of you.
That marriage was a wrong beginning, if time could be rewound, I

would rather ruin my reputation than choose to marry you.
When I came out, the sky had already turned completely dark.
I stood at the gate of the villa, looking at the light coming from the study on the second floor, and smiled.
However, he laughed until his eyes were blurred.
Reynaldo, falling in love with you might have been a punishment from heaven.
Now I am heartbroken and cannot bear it, which can be considered as receiving retribution.
All I wanted for the rest of my life was to have no connection with you anymore.
The wind on the autumn night was chilly.
I dragged my suitcase and walked aimlessly on the street.
I suddenly thought, if I had never met Reynaldo in my life.
The family has fallen, and if it has fallen, then so be it. I can always start over with a different way of life, at least I won’t be as miserable as I am now.
I stood under the streetlight, looked at the pitch–black night sky, and took a deep breath.
I don’t know how long it would take to completely forget this man and heal this wound.
The fallen leaves, blown by the wind, spun around me. The wind, mixed with raindrops, floated on my face, feeling icy cold.

I tightened my collar and felt that this autumn was particularly cold.
I stood under the street lamp for a long time, and then I came to his rented house according to the address given by Quentin.
The place he rented was in a shanty town, surrounded by many cheap houses that were densely packed and the environment was not very good.
Just now, there was a light rain again, and the ground was muddy. Garbage could be seen everywhere, and at first glance, the environment was somewhat dirty and messy.
However, there were a lot of people renting in this area.
When I arrived, it was already past 8 o’clock in the evening.
Under the dim yellow streetlights, there were small vendors and pedestrians everywhere, creating a lively atmosphere.
There was a sign at the entrance of the village, and I dragged my suitcase over to take a look.
I was surprised to find that this website had direct buses to my workplace.
It took about an hour to reach the station near the company.
This way, it would be much more convenient for me to go to work.
The depressed mood finally improved a bit.
