Chapter 1222
Sandy knew the rift between them was about her having had abortions before, and he couldn’t accept that fact.
She bit her fingernail as she thought, ‘He can “accept” a woman like Pearl, so why can’t he accept me? Besides, he
should suspect Pearl for today’s incident, right? After all. Pearl has done something like this to frame other people
before. So, it makes sense to pin the blame on her.’
Meanwhile…
Tanner asked the security to pull out the surveillance footage on the corridor to investigate the incident about
Sandy. The footage was fixed on the appearance of the three men after they left, and he asked his bodyguard to
check their identities.
When Tanner came out of the monitoring room, he pulled his phone and saw there were a few unread messages.
He frowned deeply and deleted all of them without checking on them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen, another message came through. Pearl did not dare to go home because of the marks around her neck. She
stayed temporarily in a hotel and asked her assistant to buy her clothes for her to change. After taking her shower,
the doorbell rang. She became alert and asked, “Who is it?”
“Miss, I’m sorry to disturb you, but our hotel has a complimentary champagne event for all single luxury suites.”
It was the voice of a female attendant.
Thank you, but I don’t need it,” Pearl said. The female attendant persisted and continued. “But the champagne is
already here. It’s free of charge, so you should take it.”
Pearl opened the door and saw the female attendant holding a bottle of champagne in her hand. Just when she was
about to take the champagne from her, a hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed her wrist.
Her shoulders trembled, and then Tanner appeared in front of her. Her heart skipped a beat as Tanner said to the
female attendant , “You’re dismissed.”
The female attendant nodded and left. Pearl tried to pull her hand out of his grip but to no avail. Tanner went closer
to her and asked, “Passion is a hotel under the Hannigans. I’m sure you know about that, right?”
Pearl was so angry that she did not want to say anything and glared at him coldly. Tanner pushed the door and
brought her into the room. She broke herself free from him when he closed the door and asked.’ What do you want
from me? Do you want to sleep with me? Didn’t you hate me? Why? Are you not afraid of catching a disease?’
Tanner pinned her in the wall corner and set his jaw tightly. He went even closer to her and hissed. “If I catch a
disease, then you’ re stuck with me for the rest of your life.”
Pearl grinned sarcastically and said,” What’s wrong? Can’t Sandy satisfy you anymore?”
He gripped her chin and said through gritted teeth, “You have a lot of nerves to mention Sandy before me. If it
weren’t for you, she wouldn’t have lost her baby.”
“What does her miscarriage have to do with me?” Pearl struggled, but Tanner locked her tightly in between his
arms.
He clamped on her chin and forced her to meet his gaze. “Who knows? Maybe you’re jealous of her, so you found
someone to make her lose her baby. After all, it isn’t the first time you’ve done this.”
Pearl suddenly froze, and her blood ran cold. “So, you think it’s me?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTanner did not say anything.
She laughed, and her eyes turned red around the rims. “So, what now? Are you going to kill me to avenge your
unborn baby?”
“No. I’m not going to kill you.” Tanner grabbed her cheek and went closer to her ear. “I want you to make up to us
by delivering me a son.
“Never!” she shouted.
“I’m afraid that’s not your decision.”
Tanner turned her face over and kissed her. He forced himself into her despite her struggle, and it was truly
addictive to force her to do something that she did not want to do.
The next day, Tanner woke up and looked at the woman sleeping next to him. He pushed the hair that was covering
her face away with his hand. Even though she was a domineering and arrogant woman, she was nothing more than
a disobedient cat when he removed her claws. Even if she was a rose with thorns, he just needed to remove the
thorns.
