Chapter 150
A few seconds later, Rishima finally realized what was happening. Covering her mouth in anger, she exclaimed, "You need to leave. This is my home!"
Zvonimir shook his head sadly. "I won’t go. Not unless you come with me."
He had been apart from her for so long, convinced she was gone forever, that he would never see her again. But now she stood before him, alive and well. He had to bring her back with him.
Zvonimir had investigated Roberto, and the information he found sent chills down his spine. The male was the head of a criminal syndicate, an overlord of assassins, trafficker of illicit substances, firearms, and numerous other forms of serious crime. Zvonimir truly couldn’t bear the thought of Rishima being near such a terrifying male.
"I’ll take you away from here. You’re my mate. I can’t leave you in this place. You have to come home with me. The three babies are waiting for you..."
“Take her away? In your dreams!” Roberto’s icy voice echoed, making Rishima tremble in fear.
She rushed over, grabbing his arm, her voice urgent, "Roberto, please let him go. I won’t go with him, I swear."
Roberto stared straight into Rishima’s eyes, his voice soft yet dangerous, "Jenna, I told you, all the other males in the world besides me are evil. Didn’t you hear what I said?"
With a flick of his chin, Roberto’s bodyguards instantly surrounded Zvonimir. In a panic, Rishima pulled Zvonimir behind her and shouted, "Roberto’s furious! You have to go, now!"
Tears had already begun to fall from her eyes. She was terrified something would happen to Zvonimir. Instinctively, she wanted him to be safe. If he got hurt, it would break her.
Roberto gritted his teeth, glaring at Rishima as she shielded Zvonimir. His bloodshot eyes narrowed, and then he lunged forward, ignoring her pleas as he tried to seize Zvonimir.
"Ahh..."
"Rishima!"
"Jenna!"
Roberto used too much force and shoved Rishima to the ground, scraping her hand and drawing blood. He shoved Zvonimir aside, then urgently scooped Rishima into his arms and carried her into the house, completely disregarding Zvonimir now.
Zvonimir watched their backs disappear before his eyes, his heart sinking in agony. He had rushed here without his security detail, and as a result, Rishima had thrown herself into danger to protect him. Only for him to stand by helplessly and watch her be taken away by Roberto.
What a useless male he was!
Inside the living room, Roberto disinfected Rishima’s wound in silence. He didn’t say a single word throughout. Neither did Rishima. She knew Zvonimir was gone now and didn’t want to provoke Roberto any further.
Roberto finished bandaging the wound and told Rishima to go up to the bedroom first, while he sat alone on the sofa. With his current abilities, he still couldn’t eliminate Zvonimir and Matthew. But he couldn’t swallow his anger, and the first female to bear the brunt of it was none other than Emily.
Roberto took out his phone and made a call, "I think Emily has lived long enough. Her father who's rotting in prison too. Kill them all."
…
In the living room of Matthew’s villa.
"Matthew, you promised to get my father out of prison. So why haven’t you done anything yet?"
Bob was already old, and Emily couldn’t bear to see her father suffer behind bars. She wanted to free him as soon as possible, but days had passed and Matthew still showed no sign of making any move.
In the end, she couldn’t sit still anymore and came to confront Matthew. Clutching a stack of documents tightly, Matthew’s gaze toward Emily was filled with rage and hatred.
"Emily, let me ask you. Where did you hide Rishima’s ashes?"
Emily, still furious herself, didn’t think twice and snapped, "Didn’t I already tell you? I scattered them at sea!"
Smack!
A hand suddenly struck across Emily’s cheek. Matthew gritted his teeth and pointed at her, "Brilliant. You’re really something, aren’t you!"
Just hours ago, Matthew had sent someone to investigate Roberto and discovered that the male’s power was far from ordinary. He needed to carefully consider how to deal with him. But when he flipped to the next page in the report, his fury erupted uncontrollably.
It turned out that Rishima’s surgery had been successful, but Emily had colluded with the doctor to lie, claiming Rishima had died and insisting on taking her body. In truth, Emily had delivered Rishima to Roberto.
"Goddamn shameless wretch!" The more he thought, the angrier he became. Matthew grabbed Emily’s hair and slammed her violently against the glass table. The sharp corner sliced into her skin, the pain so intense that her vision blurred into darkness.
But Matthew didn’t care. He turned and stormed off without hesitation. Emily reached behind her back and fumbled for a moment. Her hand came away sticky with blood.
She struggled to suppress the pain as she staggered toward the front door. Every step was excruciatingly difficult. If Matthew wouldn’t help her, her only option was to turn to Peter.
She knew Peter liked her. To save her father, she was willing to become his mistress.
"Stop! Are you planning to go find Brown?" Suddenly, Matthew reappeared in the living room, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
Emily bit her lip, seething with rage. "That’s none of your business!"
She looked at him with utter disappointment in her eyes. She had fully believed he would save her father, but she never imagined he would go back on his word.
"Matthew, I must’ve been crazy to ask for your help. From now on, I’ll never beg you again."
Emily couldn’t wait any longer. She had to escape this living hell. But just as she was about to go, Matthew seized her arm.
"Emily, how can you be so vile and low? You pretended to be a hooker just to get close to me, and now you actually want to become one?"
He knew all too well how obsessed Peter was with her. Going to beg him now was no different from offering up her body.
"How many times have you had sex with Peter? Or have you been sleeping with him ever since you came of age? Emily, even if you have no shame, shouldn’t there be a limit? How can you be so disgusting, sleeping with a fat, lust-driven male like him?"
Smack!
