After Prison, I Became an Underground King Chapter 07
“At last, that b*stard Henry is out of the way. From now on, the Goldman family and Zoey will belong to me alone. All those years of scheming weren’t wasted after all!
“Of course the fire was fake. There’s no way I’d actually let myself choke on smoke.
“And even if she finds out the truth, so what? I’m the one she loves most. Otherwise, why would she have destroyed Henry like that?
“You have no idea how badly he got tortured in prison. Hahahaha…”
A sudden force from behind flipped the sofa over with a crash.
Startled, Ronald whipped around, only to meet Zoey’s furious eyes.
“Zoey! When did you get back?”
Panicked, he immediately hung up the phone.
“None of what I said was real. I was joking. You have to believe me.”
Before he could finish, Zoey kicked him so hard he went flying across the room.
A sharp pain exploded through his chest. At least two ribs had snapped.
But Zoey gave him no chance to recover. She grabbed him by the hair, eyes blazing with murderous rage.
“Who gave you the nerve to scheme against Henry?
“Ten lives of yours wouldn’t be worth a single one of his!”
With every word, she slammed his head viciously against the floor.
Blood streamed down Ronald’s face as he clung desperately to her leg, begging for mercy.
“Zoey, I was wrong! I really didn’t mean it! Please believe me!
“I just loved you too much! I had no other choice, that’s why I did it!
“I only made the same mistake every man makes! Please stop hitting me!”
Blood stained Zoey’s fingertips as she smeared it across the corner of his eye.
“You love me?”
Ronald nodded frantically.
Zoey suddenly smiled. Then she turned on her phone and shoved the screen in front of his face.
The video showed him entering hotels with different women. The most recent clip was from last night.
“And this is what you call love?”
Her voice was chilling. Ronald’s face turned deathly pale as real fear finally set in.
“Zoey, I didn’t mean it. I really didn’t mean it.”
Zoey’s hand suddenly tightened around his throat.
“I hate liars more than anything.
“Since you love obscene photos so much, and can’t live without women, then fine. I’ll make sure you spend the rest of your life with them.”
Ronald’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“You can’t do this to me! Zoey, I’m your husband in name at least! Aren’t you afraid of humiliating yourself?
“I’m also the father of your child!”
Zoey kicked him away without hesitation.
“Get lost. The only man who will ever be my husband is Henry.
“As for this child… just pretend it never existed.”
As Ronald was dragged away, he screamed hysterically:
“You think Henry will forgive you?
“Don’t forget, you were the one who sent him to the auction block and prison!
“You’ll never earn his forgiveness for the rest of your life!”
Silence fell over the room once more.
Zoey covered her face in misery.
Ronald was right.
How could Henry ever forgive her so easily?
Despair crashed over her like a tidal wave. Her eyes reddened as she sat there motionless through the entire night.
“Henry… where are you?”
