Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 545 Slap Herself

When he started the car, a muffled groan came from the phone, and he immediately stopped.

In the dark of fear, a magnified face approached her. Lainey screamed and turned around. It was another big face.

She ran desperately, but she walked into a dead end. Before she could think about how to escape, the scene

changed again.

In the dark room, she saw a woman surrounded by many men. She was naked and had no way to ask for help. She

could not help but rush over but found that she was stopped by a glass wall.

She slapped the wall with all her might. As the men moved, she saw the woman's face on the ground. It was her!

"Help!" A shrill cry woke her up.

Her forehead was covered in sweat. Before she could react, Roman's voice came from the phone beside the pillow.

"Lainey, what's wrong?"

"I... I'm fine. I just had a nightmare," she said, wiping her sweat.

"The previous dream?" Roman asked worriedly.

"Yes, I'm much better now," Lainey said, nodding tiredly.

"Don't be afraid. I've always been here." Roman became more gentle.

"You should go back. It's almost 1 a.m. Why are you there for so long?" Lainey said worriedly.

It was very cold outside, and she did not want Roman to feel cold.

Roman looked at the lights that were not turned on. The thick curtains covered the only light. ‘I'm going back. Go to

sleep, Lainey. I will always be there for you."

Lainey calmed down and put down the phone again. She felt a warm feeling in her heart. This was the promise

Roman had given her. She had to remember it forever.

As long as he was there, she did not have to worry about anything.

The next day.

Daniel returned to the seaside villa after dealing with the matter. Seeing that Ainsley was still in the room, he

breathed a sigh of relief.

He was too afraid that Ainsley would be taken away. Aaden said respectfully, "Mr. Hume, Ms. Wade is in the study

room."

Daniel glanced in the direction of the study and nodded slightly. "Open the door to Ainsley's room."

"Yes."

Daniel walked into the study and saw Irene sitting on the sofa in the study.

They looked at each other and Daniel approached.

"Why did you do that?" Daniel tried his best to suppress the coldness in his voice, even though he really wanted to

stab Irene in the abdomen with the fruit knife on the table.

Perhaps feeling the faint danger, Irene stood up from the sofa and took a few steps back. ' Daniel, you know how

much I hate her."

Daniel walked toward Irene and continued, "But you know very well that she is now my woman."

"Your woman?" Irene revealed a mocking expression. ‘I don't think she's your woman. You should be clear. Ever

since you brought her to this villa, did she ever look at you? And the person who agreed to your proposal wasn't

her."

Daniel's eyes were filled with anger. "I warned you about what happened last time. Why are you so unrepentant?"

Irene did not dare to say anything. After a moment of silence, she finally said, "Daniel, I advise you to stop loving

her as soon as possible. You can feel that she is full of hatred for you. Moreover, the other Ainsley who has been

with you for the past two days performed well enough. Haven't you noticed it at all? Why don't you just stay with

her forever? I believe that she will do better than Ainsley."

"How dare you ridicule me like this? Irene, I'm afraid you have forgotten that the reason why the Wade family can

hold on is that I am helping you. I have already said that do not do unnecessary things." Daniel approached Irene

step by step.

Fear appeared on Irene's face. "What do you want to do?"

"You have done so many things that make me irritated. How should I punish you?" Daniel said in a deep voice, and a

playful smile appeared in his eyes.

Punishment?

"What do you want?" Irene was terrified.

"Why don't you slap yourself a few times? As I vent my anger, the Wade Group will survive, right?" Daniel's eyes

were full of sneer.

Irene looked at Daniel in disbelief. She did not expect him to make such a request and let her slap herself.

Of course, Irene would not agree to this insult. ‘Daniel, you can't do this to me. Just because of Ainsley? We were

classmates in the past, and we had a lot of stories when we were studying abroad."

Daniel chuckled, "You have done this time and time again. I let you off last time. Irene, do you really think I will let

you go every time?"

He gradually approached Irene, his cold eyes flashing with a terrifying light.

Irene's body trembled. She knew what Daniel did in Portugal.

"Don't forget Mr. Wade in the hospital. I can decide whether the Wade family lives or dies. I also have the final say

in your grandfather’s life."

Under the extremely oppressive aura, Irene finally raised her hand and slapped herself slowly again and again.

Daniel sat on the sofa and watched this scene. His fingers tapped his knees as if he was watching a beautiful play.

He didn't let her stop, so Irene didn't dare to stop. She slapped herself again and again until her cheeks swelled up.

The feeling of swelling and pain stimulated Irene's nerves until her arms were numb and she could no longer lift

them up. Then Daniel "mercifully" let her stop.

Her legs were weak as she sat on the ground. Her mouth was bleeding, and her face was in pain.

She asked, "Are you satisfied?"

Daniel looked at her red and swollen face with satisfaction and then nodded. "I can give you three more days for

the acquisition of the Wade Group. If you can’t settle it this time, I will take back my decision."

"I know." Irene got up and stumbled out of the study.

Before leaving, she suddenly thought of something.

"Mr. Hume, it is impossible for her to be with you no matter what. She would reject you in the past, but now she

might not. Mr. Hume, seize the chance and enjoy it now.’

"You don't have to worry about this." Daniel was disgusted.

After going downstairs, she subconsciously glanced at the door of Ainsley's room. Ainsley stared at her coldly.

She immediately lowered her head and fled the seaside villa.

Ainsley held a glass of hot water in the room. She could see Irene’s bad mood and her swollen face.

"Did you see what Irene looked like just now? I helped you take revenge, didn't I?’ Daniel said.

Ainsley didn't even look at him. She said indifferently, "Revenge? A few slaps can be called revenge? Or is it that Mr.

Hume, who has always been ruthless, suddenly becomes so kind when facing Irene and wants to protect her? She

almost killed me. A few slaps don't hurt at all. Ask her if I kill her and slap myself a few times, will she forgive me?’

In the Salter's home.
