you deserve it?”
I looked deeply at this face that I once saw as my salvation. I only felt so disgusting.
Watching his spine bend inch by inch, I sighed, “Orlando Humphrey, in fact, if it wasn’t for the lack of evidence, I
would’ve already personally sent you in to atone for my child’s sins.”
After saying that I didn’t look back. I wanted to leave him. But a figure suddenly jumped out of the bushes next to
- me. In my haste, I once again saw Eleanor’s familiar face.
Her mouth cursed viciously, “Celine Reverie, why are you always like a ghost? Why do you always want to take away everything that belongs to me?”
She held a bright fruit knife in her hand and stabbed at me. I couldn’t dodge it in time. At the critical moment, I fell into a warm and familiar embrace.
It was followed by the sound of the blade of the knife not penetrating the flesh. The man overhead collapsed into my arms with a muffled grunt. The passing teachers took control of Eleanor Celeste.
Orlando’s face was pale as he pulled on my sleeve. I didn’t say anything and only pressed hard on his wound. Soon the emergency ambulance stopped at the foot of the mountain. A few male teachers helped carry the person down.
Before leaving, I looked at him. “Orlando Humphrey, if you are really good to me, don’t bother me anymore.” The corners of his pale lips tremble. He finally hooked up a bitter smile. “I know, Celine Reverie.”
It wasn’t until later that I heard about them again. It turned out that last time Richard Athelstan ended up using his connections to get Eleanor Celeste out of prison.
Just without a child by his side, he quickly found another new love. In addition, Eleanor slept with Orlando at this time. It made Richard completely stop caring about her.
Orlando also sent her to prison again. I heard that she would never come out again.
Half a year later, the news of “Dr. Genius” turning himself in came. He held a press conference and told
everything that happened that year.
From then on, his career was considered to be completely terminated. He would face jail time. Along with Richard’s company, the stock plummeted and fell into an emergency crisis.
In front of the camera, he apologized to me with red eyes. He then left all the property to me.
I took a sip of the wolfberry water in the thermos cup. I glanced away indifferently. Until two students pulled each other’s ears and walked into the o office.
“Ms. Celine, Jonathan hit me first.”
“No, it was Alexander, who first got ink on my clothes, Ms. Celine.”
The faint emotions in my heart were washed away. After separating the two, I smiled and asked them to write a fifty–word review each.
After the bell rang, I walked towards the classroom with my head held high. The television behind me was still broadcasting the news. I silently said in my heart, ‘Orlando Humphrey, I only wish that we will never see each other again in our lives.”
