Chapter 41
Jocelyn whimpered, “I didn’t mean that. Ms. York, you misunderstood me…” While sobbing, she furtively threw me a challenging look.
I looked at her expressionlessly. “So, you didn’t mean to conspire with Elijah to steal my money?”
1 turned to Elijah and scoffed. “Elijah, you’re so disgusting that you made me throw up.”
I wanted to leave right away. However, he suddenly grabbed my hand.
“Let go.” My voice was cold.
But Elijah didn’t let go. He was completely tense as he said, “Ari, nothing you heard was true. I didn’t want to steal your money.”
I sneered. “Alright then. Since you weren’t stealing from me, give me back the money with interest.” Elijah hesitated.
As expected, he couldn’t bear to give up such a large amount of money.
I gave him a mocking glance and shook off his hand.
Suddenly, Jocelyn screamed, “Elijah, she took everything!”
As she spoke, she entered the closet to check.
When she saw the empty jewelry safe, with all the watches and limited edition Hermes bags cleared out, she let out a pained shriek. “Elijah, she took everything valuable
She ran over to me and glared at the large bag in my hand. “Let me inspect it.”
I laughed. “Ms. Cornell, do you have the right to inspect my stuff?”
Jocelyn visibly froze. Then, she threw all sense of pretense and pointed at my nose. “Ariana, Elijah bought you all those things. They’re not even yours.
I lifted the large bag and tossed it to her. “Take it then. They’re junk that I’ve worn. If you like them, they’re
yours
Jocelyn quickly opened the bag, but all she found was plain clothes. She went mad and tossed them back
to me.
“Not these. Where’s the jewelry? And those bags. You took them. Give them back!” She threatened, “Or else, I’ll call the cops.”
I simply stared at Elijah. “Mr. Linden, your lover wants to call the cops. What do you say?”
Elijah’s eyes gradually darkened. Without giving me an answer, he asked instead, “You’re leaving?”
I was annoyed. “Not only am I leaving, but I also want a divorce.”
Elijah suddenly laughed. Then, unexpectedly, he pushed Jocelyn out of the room and locked the door. Stunned, I watched him approach me.
At that moment, an inexplicable sense of fear rose within my heart.
Elijah walked over and backed me into a corner so that was forced to face him.
His handsome face looked enlarged and distorted
I was scared. After all, he was stronger than me.
I started to regret telling Teri that I didn’t need help now.
Discreetly, I grabbed my phone to call the cops.
However, Elijah threw my phone to the ground and broke it.
The screen shattered, and the light on the screen faded away.
I yelled, “What are you doing?”
Elijah grabbed my arm. He was so close that his unbridled breath tickled my face.
I held back my disgust. “Elijah, if you’re a man, let me go. You’re giving me a hard time. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”
But Elijah said nothing and simply stared at me. His voice was hoarse when he spoke, “Ariana, what do you want exactly? A divorce?”
I did not answer.
All of a sadden, he let go of me and took something from a slot in the closet.
I froze.
With malice in his eyes, he carried it over to me.
“If you take one step outside, I’ll break this.”
Jocelyn whimpered, “I didn’t mean that. Ms. York, you misunderstood me..” While sobbing, she furtively threw me a challenging look.
