Chapter 631
What did she say at that time, though?
Lara said that her face was ruined after being burned in the fire. She had been undergoing treatment abroad, but
she was worried that he would dislike her if she couldn't be cured, so she asked her family to tell him not to wait for
her.
She even told Edward that she actually thought of him every day and every night, that she would look at their
photos and letters to reminisce about the memories they had together.
There was also the diary wherein she wrote to him daily with every heartfelt sentence.
She was such a strong and ambitious woman, but she was willing to be gentle when it came to him.
No man could resist such a distinction!
Naturally, he fell for her trap, and into the tenderness of this woman.

It was simply ridiculous!
It was no wonder she always asked him to fight for the Nolan Group, saying that he missed out on the position of
president because of her, and that she felt guilty about it, so she would definitely help him to obtain it again.
It turned out that she had wanted it all along!
Edward looked fiercely at Lara...
Lara argued, "I helped Gerald with something. That's why he gave it to me..."
This time, Edward didn't listen to her lies anymore, though. He walked up to her and held her in a chokehold. "You
actually did so many disgusting things, yet you still manage to say such heartfelt stuff to convince me. Where's your
dignity?"
She felt suffocated all of a sudden and struggled instinctively, but two bodyguards grabbed her from behind, so she
failed to escape his grasp.
Her lips moved, but she couldn't say a word. She reckoned that this incident along with committing arson and
instructing someone to kill Ellen wasn't a big deal at all. Why was he so agitated?
Eugene was quite surprised too as he didn't expect that this was what Edward found most unacceptable. If he knew
that, he would've brought up Lara's entanglement with Gerald first.
He had overestimated their position in his heart and their lives were nothing compared to Lara's betrayal.
From the very beginning, the only person whom Edward cared for was Lara!
"Ed... Ward..." Lara choked out with difficulty.
Edward was livid. "For so many years, you've been getting more and more ambitious. You've done so many bad
deeds just to get Nolan Group. I condoned you seeing that you're my wife, and because you saved my life. Yet, even
you saving my life was a set-up. You're a vicious woman. I'll strangle you to death today."
Eugene said nothing while everyone else simply watched on.
Everyone noticed her face turning from pale to red, then from red to gray, and her eyes were starting to lose their

with your life?"
It was enough to convince Edward to let go and take a step back. All of a sudden, grief overcame him and he was
filled with the desire to die. He had nothing left after all. "I'm going to pay with my life!"
Merlin was so furious that he wanted to beat Edward up, so he ordered the bodyguards around him, "Hurry up and
grab him!"
The bodyguards glanced at Eugene, who nodded.
Only then did the two of them head over to bring Edward to Merlin.
Lara fell to the ground at once and gasped heavily like a fish on the verge of death. She truly felt like she was going
to die earlier!
Edward was simply too ruthless.
For so many years, she stood by her word and he had also been spoiling her. She didn't expect that he wanted to
strangle her to death after all that happened.
She felt aggrieved for some reason and said, "Even if I lied when I came back to you, I still love you. Otherwise,
could I have spent so many years with you?"
A raging Edward looked at her, no longer believing a single word that she said. "Shut the f*ck up!"
