Chapter 21

I grabbed his pants leg.

It took me some time for me to catch my breath. Eventually, I summoned the

last of my strength and said, “Liam… please… divorce me…”

He stopped walking.

A long time passed, and the dizziness went away a little.

Without my medication, the dizzy spell lasted for longer, and I felt worse.

I did not have the strength to do anything other than grab his pants leg.

If I had the strength, I would have jumped up and slapped him. However, I could not deal with the consequences of angering him.

I would rather lower myself and beg him to let me go, just like how I used to

beg him to love me.

Chapter 21 The Price of Frivolousness

There was silence for a long time. Suddenly, a hand grabbed my cheeks.

I lifted my head. Of course, the person in front of me was Liam.

He glared at me coldly as he uttered those cruel words, “I’ll tell you one last

time. Don’t even think about it.”

“You’ve already given the money this morning. You have to keep to your

word.”

Even though I had torn it, that was my own decision.

“Heh, you’re playing dumb again.” Liam let go of my face and tapped my

cheeks. “That was for spending the night with me, my little princess.”

He stood up and commanded, “Go clean yourself up in the bathroom.”

Heh. That’s for spending the night with him.

I could not help but laugh wryly. “I don’t own the Nyra anymore.”

There was no response.

I turned my head and saw Liam standing a few steps away from me, facing

away. Even his back was cold and distant.

I tried my best to stand up with the help of the door.

Even though my legs were weak; as though I was stepping on cotton, I felt

more confident after I stood up.

“I know you married me because you wanted the Nyra,” I said, trying my best

to sound calm, rational, and dignified.

“You don’t like me at all. In fact, you hate me. But you need someone to

support your business. I know you think marrying for money somehow hurts

your dignity, but I can tell you, you’ve always kept your dignity in this

marriage. I’m always the one who has to sacrifice my dignity,” I said. “Now

that I don’t have the Nyra anymore, you don’t have to waste your time on

me.”

Chapter 21 The Price of Frivolousness

Liam smirked and turned around. “Well said. I bought you for the Nyra. Now

that you don’t own the Nyra anymore, I’ll have to sell you for money.”

“I’ve never humiliated you like this before,” I said, staring into his mocking

eyes.

In the three years I was married to him, I had always tried my best to satisfy

him.

My father had always helped him too.

He was the man I respect, love, and admire. I would not even think of

humiliating him.

“Of course you’ve never. You didn’t need to,” Liam said. He turned around and

looked at my face.

He did not raise his voice, but the tone was extremely vengeful. “You’re the beloved princess of the Nyra family. All you have to do is tell someone, and someone would do the dirty work of humiliating and even destroying.”

What does he mean?

I was about to ask him further, but he said, “Also, Vivienne, you are stupid.

beyond help. You should understand after three years that I didn’t need the

Nyra to finance my business. I married you so you know the consequences of being a flirt!”

I said nothing.

At first, I could not help but wonder if I had wronged him somehow. After he

went on, I finally understood.

He could afford to say he did not need the Nyra now, but I knew he did not

want to admit that the Nyra had helped him when he was starting out.

If he was not going to admit it, he had to find fault with me and my family.

Was I a flirt?

If he wanted to think of me as guilty, he could say whatever he wanted..

Chapter 21 The Price of Frivolousness

I did not speak because I knew I was not going to win this argument.

He let go of me but continued glaring at me.

I stared him in the eye. Even though he used to hurt me like this, I felt the

same way as I did last night. He was like a stranger to me.

His face was so foreign to me that I could not remember the reason I used to

love him.

I closed my eyes to compose myself before opening them again and saying,

“I don’t care if you don’t want to divorce, but you have to sign the acquisition

contract and forget about my shares. Otherwise, I’ll take my own life again,

and this time I’ll definitely succeed.”

Liam narrowed his gaze. “Are you threatening me?”

I had been thinking. If he wanted me to die, why did he save me?

I understood now. He said that “The game has just begun.” He was only.

Chapter 21 The Price of Frivolousness

starting to enact his revenge upon me.

If I died, he would not get what he wanted.

“Yes,” I said without hesitation.

My neck began to hurt as soon as I said that word.

Liam was choking me.

Instinctively, I reached out to pry his hands away, but I immediately let go.

I let the pain overwhelm me so that he could see my determination.

A few seconds later, Liam let go of me, and I immediately gasped for breath.

I could sense Liam glaring at me for a long time before he went to open the

door.

“Get out,” he ordered.

Chapter 21 The Price of Frivolousness

I wrapped myself in my clothes. I was about to head out when he dragged me back. “Go and shower first!”

Liam’s lounge was not very spacious, but it was well-equipped and homely.

I obeyed him because he had torn my clothes. I could not imagine what the

others would think of me if I went out like that.

I stepped into the shower and turned on the tap. By cleaning myself, I also

cleaned the scent he left on me.

Suddenly, I felt dizzy, and I sat down on the bathroom floor.

I hugged my head and closed my eyes until I heard a few gentle knocks on

the door.

Surprised, I turned on the tap again and asked, “Who is it?”

“It’s me, Vivi dear.” It was Rina’s voice, sweet like dollar-store candy. “Are you

okay? You’ve been inside for a very long time, and I’m worried about you.”

Chapter 21 The Price of Frivolousness

Has it been that long? No wonder I don’t feel as dizzy.

“I’m fine, thanks,” I said.

“I’ll leave your new clothes outside the door,” Rina said. “The police also

brought your handbag earlier. I’ll also leave it here.”

I did not expect Rina to bring me clothes.

After a long time, I stepped out of the bathroom.

There was no one outside. On the wall was a brand-new light green dress.

My handbag was there too, and the contents were intact. I had left it at the

crime scene.

I quickly took a pill and put on the dress. While I was zipping it up, I heard

someone chuckle behind me. “You have a great figure, Vivi dear.”

Shocked, I abruptly turned my head.

I saw Rina standing in front of the changing room with a naïve smile on her

face.
