Charlene was frightened by the sinister look on Gu Shaoting’s face. She had never seen him this angry before. Normally, he was just cold, but now he was furious.
“Brother Gu, let go… you’re hurting me,” Charlene cried out in pain. The pampered girl, who had never suffered such indignity, was now in a pitiful state.
“Hurting? Do you even know what pain is? Do you understand the pain of others? You ruin others’ relationships for your own gain. You’re nothing but a spoiled child,” Gu Shaoting retorted without any trace of mercy.
He tightened his grip even more, seeing Charlene’s face turn a shade of blue before finally releasing her. Charlene coughed several times, and two bruises in the shape of finger marks appeared on her chin.
“Gu Shaoting, are you insane?” Charlene lifted her head, glaring at him in anger. “Instead of venting your anger on me, why don’t you go explain everything to your beloved woman? It’s so amusing, like something from a novel or TV show. The long-lost ex-girlfriend, the ex-fiancée—after meeting again, they’re supposed to ignite an old flame.”
“Charlene, why are you doing this? I don’t recall ever wronging you,” Gu Shaoting asked coldly. This woman was a lunatic, deriving joy from ruining others’ relationships.
“I like you. I love you. If I can’t have you, then no one will be happy with you,” Charlene confessed with a sinister smile, her expression frightening.
“You’re crazy. Love can’t be forced. I didn’t like you before, I don’t like you now, and I won’t like you in the future. Look at yourself—you’re nothing but a madwoman,” Gu Shaoting said disdainfully. How had he ended up attracting such a person?
“I know. It doesn’t matter now. I’ve already achieved my goal. Do you think Shu Pan will leave you in a fit of anger after seeing these photos? Will she divorce you? Just the thought makes me happy. You can call her and ask if she enjoyed those photos and videos,” Charlene taunted, her voice filled with defiance. She had nothing left to lose.
“Charlene, let me warn you. Those who cross me will fare even worse if I’m not doing well. Anyone who makes Shu Pan sad will not be spared. Mark my words,” Gu Shaoting threatened.
Charlene shivered internally but quickly regained her composure. She was in France; there was little he could do to her here. Besides, her father was wealthy and powerful. She had no one to fear.
“Brother Gu, you’re scaring me with such words. Don’t frighten me,” Charlene said, feigning fear.
Gu Shaoting glanced at her, his tone icy. “Charlene, you’re quite resourceful, finding such good actors to play along with you. You’d better hope Shu Pan isn’t upset and that everything remains normal. If anything happens to her, the consequences will be beyond what you can handle.”
With those words, Gu Shaoting stood up, ready to leave. His mind was in turmoil, desperate to explain everything to Shu Pan, though he himself didn’t understand what had happened. He had never done such things.
“Brother Gu, good luck,” Charlene called after him, her voice filled with smug satisfaction. She was pleased with herself.
However, if Charlene had known the consequences of her actions, she might not have done this so easily. But alas, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
