The next week became the darkest nightmare of my life.
The etiquette trainer,who had clearly taken Eine’s money,used every method possible to torture me.
For one whole week,I didn’t sleep at all.Pushing,insults and beatings with a thin bamboo whip became something that happened every day.
While I was trapped in hell,Noah and Eine went on vacation after vacation.
They had taken my phone and every day the trainer played their travel photos and videos on a huge screen,just to watch me break.
Finally,on the day of the investment meeting,Noah allowed me to be released.
He stood at the door as I was brought out.My wounds were hidden under my clothes,but my spirit was broken and my face was pale.
When he saw me,his chest tightened a little and he asked without thinking,“What happened to you?”
I looked at him with no emotion,took my phone from the butler and said nothing.
Eine immediately held onto his arm and spoke softly,sounding concerned,“She only went to the old house for etiquette training.How could anything serious happen?Shannon didn’t say anything.Maybe she’s just still emotional about what happened before.”
Hearing that,Noah’s eyes turned cold again.“I won’t allow you to hurt Eine ever again.Go change your clothes.The investment meeting starts soon.Don’t embarrass me.”
I forced a small smile and stayed silent as the butler dragged me to the dressing room.
After changing,I stepped out of the room and suddenly Eine walked toward me.Right as she passed,she pretended to trip and grabbed my dress as she fell,tearing it apart.
I grabbed the top of my strapless dress just in time,nearly exposed in front of everyone.“What are you doing?”
A proud look flashed in her eyes before she turned pitiful again and cried to Noah,“Noah,I didn’t mean to.I didn’t think Shannon’s dress would tear so easily.And now…it seems like there’s no time for her to change again…”
Noah frowned,thinking for a moment.Then he spoke in a calm voice,“For today’s investment meeting,let Eine take your place.”
I stood silently and looked at him for a long time before finally saying,“Alright.”
Even though I already knew he would choose Eine,hearing the words still crushed my heart.
At an event like the investment meeting,the only person who should stand next to Noah was his wife.
He knew that perfectly well,but he chose her anyway.
He didn’t expect me to agree so easily.He looked uncertain for a second,but in the end,with Eine holding onto his arm,he turned away and left with her.
As soon as they disappeared,my phone vibrated.[Ma’am,the car to take you to the wedding venue has arrived.]
I held the phone tightly,feeling my heartbeat rise in my chest.
The next second,I picked up the suitcase I had already packed and walked straight out of the house without looking back.
At the gate,a black Rolls-Royce was waiting.The driver stepped out and respectfully took my luggage.
The moment I sat inside,I looked back at the house one last time.
Once I finish taking revenge for my children,I will never have anything to do with Noah again.
