The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

Chapter 2108

As Liam was dying, someone suddenly pushed open the door of the lounge. Amber rushed inside, panic-stricken.

"Dad! What are you doing?" Amber threw herself at Liam, who was pressed against the tea table. Crying, she begged Benjamin, "Just talk it out! Don't hurt Liam... Let him go now!"

Only then did Benjamin put away his whip. He glared condescendingly at Liam. "Remember. You get to live because of Gem."

"Ack... Ugh!" Liam rubbed his neck, which was almost broken, and took deep breaths. He held the edge of the tea table to support himself. "Thank you for showing me mercy and letting me live, Mr. Jenkins."

"Humph! Stop thanking me. You should thank your future wife instead," Benjamin said, his tone overbearing and disdainful.

On the surface, he did that to punish Liam for being rude to him. In truth, he wanted to put Liam down and make the latter recognize his identity. Then, Liam would be nice to Amber.

"Dad, I told you, this is between Liam and me. We'll handle it well. Don't meddle." Amber supported the unsteady Liam and looked resentfully at her father.

She was not a fool, and she knew why Benjamin suddenly punished Liam. He wanted to seek justice for her, but she wasn't grateful toward him.

She had finally gotten closer to Liam-but with such a scene, he would grow further away from her.

"You'll handle it?" Benjamin flew into a rage. "He carried another woman home in front of you! Did you dare to object? You're my daughter. I need to save face, even if you don't want to!"

Everyone in Goldshire knew that Benjamin only had one daughter, whom he doted on. He tried his best to find a good husband for her. Unexpectedly, she fell for a delicate wimp like Liam.

Benjamin exhausted a lot of effort to train Liam to make the latter capable enough to inherit his post, and had seen some results lately.

Liam and Amber could now get married smoothly. Unexpectedly, Renee suddenly came and reawakened Benjamin's wits. He knew he should be vigilant toward Liam.

"He doesn't want to marry you at all! He forced himself to stay here temporarily and promised to marry you so he could run away! He feels nothing for you. At first, he could pretend. But he didn't want to do that when the woman he truly loved came. Do you still want to defend him?"

Benjamin cruelly exposed the hard truth with no regard for Amber's feelings.

Amber's eyes turned red, but she stubbornly raised her head and looked at Benjamin.

"I know he doesn't like me," she said calmly. "Plus, I know that he just wants to marry me for power. Then, he can leave and get rid of me. But... I still like him. I still want to marry him. If you say no, I won't marry anyone for the rest of my life. I'll be single all my life, and the Jenkins line will stop here!"

"You little wretch!" Benjamin roared.
