CHAPTER 446
“Well, at least you know you’re not part of the family!” Richard yelled even louder, his face twisted with rage.His voice echoed through the hospital corridor, drawing the attention of a few passing nurses.As far as he was concerned, he never wanted to see Tedmond’s face again. The mere sight of him made his blood boil.“You shouldn’t even be here,” Frank snapped, his tone harsh. “You’ve done enough damage already.”Tedmond’s brows furrowed slightly.“Damage?” he asked coolly. “What are you even talking about?”Otis barked out a laugh filled with disgust. “Don’t play innocent, Tedmond! You’re the reason Max and Maxine are lying in there right now!”Tedmond’s eyes narrowed. “I’m the cause of the accident?”“Yes, you are!” Gerald roared, stepping forward. “Lisa wouldn’t have run off if it weren’t for you! You asked her to bring you the company seal, didn’t you? She stole it and ran off to meet you! When Max and Maxine went after her, they got into that damn accident!”Richard jabbed a
CHAPTER 445
Tedmond made his way into the hospital, a calm look on his face. Though he had heard about the accident that happened to Max and Maxine, he felt nothing.It wasn’t like he was close enough to them to feel anything.After all, they had never cared about him when he had been sick; they hadn’t helped him when he was struggling, not even with a single visit or call.So why had he even come here?He paused at the entrance of the corridor, his eyes flicking toward the direction of their ward. The faint smell of disinfectant and the distant hum of machines filled the air, but none of it stirred him.He wasn’t the one who got them into an accident. He wasn’t the one responsible for their pain. So why was he here, walking into their mess as if he owed them something?Maybe curiosity. Maybe a habit. Or maybe just a part of him still wanted to see how broken they looked now, when fate finally decided to treat them the way they once treated him.His lips curved slightly, not into a smile, but
CHAPTER 444
Tedmond wasn’t angry because she was pregnant or even because she had asked him to marry her.He was angry because of what the thought itself represented.He couldn’t recall ever giving her the impression that he’d marry her, much less pretend not to notice that she was carrying another man’s child. The very idea was an insult to his intelligence.To him, it felt like she wanted the child to call someone else father while using his name as a shield.He exhaled slowly, forcing himself to think clearly. Emotion was useless here; logic was the only thing that still made sense.“Lisa,” he said, his tone level but cold. “Move aside. I’m giving you one last chance to walk away before you do something you’ll regret.”She shook her head stubbornly, eyes glistening. “You don’t understand, Tedmond! I wasn’t trying to—”He cut her off sharply. “No, you don’t understand.”His voice deepened, laced with controlled fury. “You keep acting like I owe you something, like there’s still a we to save. B
CHAPTER 443
Tedmond didn’t need to say anything to her.Words would accomplish nothing.Lisa’s desperation, her anger, her threats, none of it mattered anymore. He only wanted to leave, to escape the tension that had been choking them for far too long.His strides were measured, deliberate, cutting through the parking lot with calm precision. He ignored her calls, her shouts, the sharp click of her heels echoing behind him.Every step brought him closer to Hino and Neil, the only company that didn’t demand anything from him, at least not yet.She stumbled after him as he kept walking, his pace steady, his silence heavier than any insult.“Why are you doing this?!” she yelled, frustration mixing with panic. “Tedmond!”He reached his car, unlocked it, and was about to open the door when she rushed in front of him, blocking his path. Her hair was a mess now, her breathing ragged, but she stood firm, eyes wide with desperation.“Fine,” she said breathlessly. “You don’t want to listen? Then you’re no
CHAPTER 442
Lisa stared at Tedmond, waiting for a response.After what she had said, she was certain she finally had him. He would agree to her request for marriage, and she’d finally get what she wanted.The silence stretched on, heavy and endless. There was no reaction from Tedmond. Just when Lisa opened her mouth to speak again, he smiled.It wasn’t warm. It wasn’t kind. It was the kind of smile that promised nothing but trouble.“Lisa,” he said slowly, setting his cup aside, “you really don’t know when to stop, do you?”Her pulse quickened, but she held his gaze, refusing to flinch.He leaned forward slightly, his voice low, smooth, and dangerous.“If you think you can use the seal to trap me,” he said, “then you haven’t learned a single thing about who I am.”Lisa’s frown deepened, her patience thinning. She was tired of his calm arrogance, of the way he treated every word she said as meaningless.“Then you have no choice,” she said sharply. “If you want that seal, you’ll have to marry me.”
CHAPTER 441
The question made Lisa flinch. She hadn’t been expecting him to ask her that.After all, he had been so in love with her, he should be happy they were finally getting married. She’d been the one reminding him about the marriage, yet now she couldn’t understand the look in his eyes.It wasn’t joy. It was disgust.Tedmond leaned back, the corner of his lips twitching faintly, not in a smile, but something close to mockery.“You were a mistake once,” he said coldly. “I won’t repeat it.”He picked up his cup again, his eyes distant and bored. “If you’re done embarrassing yourself,” he said softly, “you can leave.”Lisa’s breath hitched. For a second, she thought she saw something flicker in his gaze, but no, it was gone before she could name it.Tedmond took another slow sip, his eyes never leaving hers.“Next time you want to play wife,” he murmured, his voice edged with quiet derision, “try not to look so desperate.”Her fingers curled tightly on her lap, her face burning with humilia
