After marriage, she never let me get close. I thought she wore those chastity pants because she felt insecure from her childhood trauma, a kind of self-protection that made me feel sorry for her.
Yet, it turned out the girl who once promised to be strong and stay with me forever had already become a stranger.
She knew better than anyone that my legs were broken by someone sent by Bennett’s father.
Only after I fought hard to stand again, step by step and became strong enough to challenge the Bradford Family, did they start to fear me.
My heart slowly became cold as I lifted my head and looked around the banquet. All the sons from big families and the skilled people I had trained myself were laughing happily, as if my disability was a funny joke.
Just then, Bennett shouted with a playful smile, "Nolan, it's your turn! Truth or dare?"
I looked at him calmly and slowly stood up. "Of course, I'll choose neither."
Before I finished speaking, I raised my hand and slapped Bennett hard!
Everyone was shocked. Bennett covered his face and looked at me in disbelief.
"Nolan! You’re fucking crazy! Our cooperation ends here!"
Talia was also shocked by what I did. She frowned and looked at me, her voice full of worry and anger.
"Nolan, you were too rash! Apologize to Mr. Bradford... We can’t let this cooperation stop halfway..."
My heart felt like it was stabbed, tightening with pain.
There was a time when she also hated the Bradford Family deeply. Her mother had worked herself to death because of the Bradford Family’s wealth. She blamed them for both her mother’s death and my broken leg and she had sworn never to forgive.
But a moment ago, when she looked at Bennett, I clearly saw sadness. She actually felt pain for the man who once ruined me.
I suddenly grabbed the porcelain bowl and smashed it on the floor, with its pieces scattered everywhere, like the broken pieces of my heart.
Bennett went mad, pointing at me and shouting, “Nolan! Who do you think you are? My father had someone break your injured leg. If he hadn’t stopped me, I would have broken your other leg a long time ago!”
“I’m telling you, you’ll be nothing but a dog to our Bradford Family for the rest of your life!”
“What woman would ever be happy with a weak, useless man like you?”
As I tried to walk away, a group of bodyguards stepped forward and blocked me.
“Stop!” Bennett’s voice was cold. “You slapped me and think you can leave? Kneel and bow three times, then I’ll let you go.”
Talia looked at me, hesitated for a moment, then softly said, “Nolan… why don’t you just do it.”
I smirked and a sharp light flashed in my hand. A knife stabbed straight into Bennett’s chest, quick and strong.
The party room burst into shouting and panic. Talia screamed and ran to help Bennett, who was pale and shocked.
Many guards ran at me, but with one hand, I hit them down one after another.
I looked at Bennett, lying on the floor in pain and said coldly, “Bennett, my legs may be hurt, but my strength is still the same.”
Without looking back, I walked away. At the door, I stopped and said each word clearly.
