Chapter Sweet 25
They Never Even Held Hands
She thought about it carefully. Although it was her fault that she’d cheated on him before marriage, it was, after all, George who had taken advantage of her first.
From the beginning, George had been with her because he wanted to get close to Sigrid. And in the past three years, he had been indifferent to Rebecca.
Not to mention sleeping together, they didn’t even hold hands. Even if they attended a dinner together, it was she who held his arm.
But even so, because the fabric of his suit was so thick, there was no real physical contact between them.
She was an emotional being. Even if she hadn’t any physical needs, she couldn’t be in a relationship without any affections. Because she was afraid of the power behind George and craved for all the resources he could provide her, she didn’t break up with George. She simply had an affair with Edward behind his back.
But she felt that it was all George’s fault.
It was true that he was too selfish. In order to continue to see Sigrid, he dallied with her for three years.
George raised his eyebrows. “What do you want?”
I’ve taken a fancy to the female lead in a script. It was all settled, but because of what’s happened over the past few days, the director intends to replace me with another star. I want to play this role. Besides, want to remove the stigma on my reputation. Otherwise, I will make it public that you used me. I believe that although it was wrong of me to have an affair before we got married, you will also become the center of gossip if it becomes known that you planned to take advantage of me from the very beginning.”
“Do you think I care about that?” It had always been he that chose others to gossip about, and no one dared to gossip about him. How would he deal with being the laughing stock for a change? Would he care about what the rabble thought of him?
“You don’t care what others think, but you care about what Sigrid thinks. Rebecca smiled slightly. “My guess is that Sigrid doesn’t like you yet. After knowing her for so long, you must also know Sigrid’s character. If she becomes aware that you took advantage of me in order to get to her, even if she hates me, she will think that you are not a good person. You want to take advantage of others to achieve your goal – do you want to gamble? If you lose, even if she dares not resist openly, she may hate you in her heart.”
She was betting on George’s feelings for Sigrid. She did not believe that true love existed within rich and powerful people, especially for an extremely powerful and rich man like George. What woman that he wanted could he not have? Yet he wanted Sigrid. It was just because what he wanted most was the thing he could not get.
In the past three years, he had been preempted by Edward so that he couldn’t have Sigrid. He could only watch from the sidelines the woman he was interested in with another man. The more he couldn’t have her, the more he thought about it. For three years, George must have been very obsessed with Sigrid.
The person in Sigrid’s heart was still Edward. Even if George had Sigrid’s body, he would still want her heart.
George frowned.
He didn’t care about anything, but as for Sigrid’s opinion of him… he couldn’t afford to gamble.
“George, we dated for nearly three years. Even if there is no love between us, for the sake of the past
They Never Even Huld Hands
three years, just let me go. I just want to live a good life in the entertainment world.” Rebecca sighed helplessly. “I know that you don’t want Sigrid to bear the mark of a mistress, so we can say that ours was an engagement made during our childhood. Later in life, we found that we didn’t get along with each other, so we broke up peaceably and then developed our respective relationships. As for the details, you can let others deal with them.”
