Chapter 37 The Punishment (9)
The tattooed man was so angry that he punched me, "You loser, don’t give me that crap, my wife wants you to pay back the money!"
I raised my hand to block it. "I said I didn’t owe her! And what are you? What did Emma give you to make you such a willing dog?"
"Wimp! If you have the guts to fight one on one, I don’t believe I can’t beat you to death!" The tattooed man was furious and took a few breaths into his fist.
Emma and George also fanned the flames and told the tattooed man to cripple me.
The tattooed man got the pep talk and grabbed me by the collar again, ready to teach me a hard lesson!
It was at this point that the sound of a police car’s siren came, and several police officers rushed over to subdue the tattooed man.
Emma cowered behind George in fear but was taken along to the police station to make a statement.
Emma and George put all the blame on the tattooed man, plus the surveillance showed that it was indeed the tattooed man who was doing the hitting, and the police not only detained the tattooed man but also made him pay for my medical bills.
When I got home, Emma was sitting on the couch waiting for me with a blackface, " Norman, let’s talk about it!"
I sat down across from her and looked at Emma seriously, realizing that the person I once deeply loved was nothing more than this！
"If you can cancel that money I owe you, I can agree to a divorce right now!" Emma wrapped her arms around her chest, and it didn’t look like she was there to negotiate; instead, it made me feel like she was here to force me!
I braced my legs and leaned back on the couch, " Emma, what makes you think I’m still at your mercy? You lied to me, hurt me, and even tried to get me killed! I’ve been paying you much money! I used to give you much money every month, but you didn’t spend it all on men, did you?"
A flash of anger flashed in Emma’s eyes before she sipped her tea, "You brought this on yourself! George, do it!"
Before I could react, a sharp pain came from the back of my head, and I felt dizzy. Between my dazed eyes, I saw George grinning at me with a large iron bar.
By the time I woke up again, I was tied up in the basement, Emma was smoking a cigarette, and George was holding a sharp knife!
"Awake? I was going to finish you off with a knife while you were unconscious, but my sister said it’s more fun when you’re awake!" George raised the knife in his hand, and the smile on his face made me shiver.
Emma walked up to me and exhaled a smoke ring into it, and I choked back tears.
" Emma, you’re breaking the law! If I die, you won’t get away with this!"
Emma laughed, "It’s worse than death now! Norman, if you give up the divorce now, we can still be as in love as ever!"
I didn’t raise an eyelid. George kicked me, " Norman, my sister is looking up to you by giving you another chance! Don’t push your luck!"
I struggled to sit up, "Dream on! Women like you only make me sick!"
"Asshole!" Emma slapped me a couple of times, "I’m disgusting? Why didn’t you say I was disgusting when you rushed to be the family’s live-in son-in-law? After relying on my father’s money and connections to live a good life, you said I was disgusting, and you, Norman, who do you think you are?"
"You know exactly what you’ve done, Emma. What have I done to you that you should trample on my dignity like this? Emma, you truly are the most vicious woman in the world!"
