Chapter 1 of Paranoid CEO, Your Wife Ran Away!

The doctor told me they had found a suitable heart for Benjamin and that organ donations were in short supply, urging me to pay for it.

Hearing those words, I could have burst into tears.

I thought, "Destiny is still kind to us. We've finally waited for it!"

I rushed excitedly towards the registration desk. But before long, I was stupefied when I couldn't get any money from my card.

"It's impossible. Please try again!" I pleaded with the cashier.

"It's really not working."

The people queueing up behind me became agitated. "Step the side and don't hold us up."

"How could this be? How could this be?"

There was a million dollars in this card, which was set aside specifically for Benjamin's medical treatment. I hadn't spent a penny, so how could it not work?

After calming down, I realized the reason in an instant.

Joshua must have tampered with it. He gave me the card, and only he could freeze it.

Exhausted, I rushed to Joshua's company, and Joshua seemed to anticipate that I would come to him without any surprise at all.

"Josh, why can't this card pay?" I got straight to the point.

He sneered, "I just lost interest in you. I don't feel like giving you a penny now."

"Josh, please give me the money! I really need it." I clung to his legs and begged non-stop.

I wanted to scream angrily at him, but I couldn't. He was my only hope now.

Joshua casually leaned back on the sofa, looking down at me condescendingly. He lit a cigarette, and the blue-green smoke blurred his face.

"That's not the correct way to beg, Beckie," he said indifferently. "You know what to do."

I shook uncontrollably from head to toe.

When I remained silent, he cruelly pulled me to his side. "Just like you did before, strip naked and crawl onto my bed and beg me..."

With the last two words, he bit my ear, and the ambiguous voice was crystal clear to me.

Shame and humiliation washed over me once again.

My name was Rebecca Gissing, and I was an orphan girl.

In the high society circles of Kinzlin City, I was known by another identity: the abandoned adopted daughter of the House couple.

Everyone knew that the most powerful couple in Kinzlin City, Mr. and Mrs. House, adopted an older orphan girl three years ago.

They treated her like their own biological daughter, providing her with a luxurious life of fine clothes and good food.

However, she was not satisfied with simply being an adopted daughter. She tried to seduce the House couple's only son and her nominal brother, Joshua, aiming to become the future mistress of the house.

After being expelled from the House family, she still persistently pestered Joshua. She was a shameless slut and heartless person.
