His eyes were scarlet as he stared at the iPad on the ground. Anger was taking his rationality away.<\/p>\n<p>His gaze suddenly fell on Desiree&#8217;s face.<\/p>\n<p>Desiree trembled upon sensing his fury.<\/p>\n<p>However, there was a voice deep in her heart reminding her.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how angry Lance would be, he wouldn&#8217;t go too far when facing her. It was because she had saved his life. Lance looked cruel, but he was a grateful man. When Lance discovered that she was still with that man, he was extremely angry but didn&#8217;t touch her.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, in the face of Lance&#8217;s anger, Desiree still raised her chin arrogantly. She was certain that Lance would not hurt her.<\/p>\n<p>Lance&#8217;s face suddenly turned ferocious as he approached Desiree. He grabbed Desiree&#8217;s neck with one hand and dragged her. He pressed her against the wall behind him.<\/p>\n<p>In such a short time, Desiree felt fear. It was a fear that someone could take her life at any time.<\/p>\n<p>As Desiree was being dragged away, her neck was clasped, so she coughed continuously and her face paled.<\/p>\n<p>She looked at Lance with fear in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and shouted angrily, &#8220;Lance, what are you doing? Do you know what you&#8217;re doing?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Desiree, do you think you can do whatever you want because I once liked you?&#8221; Lance said with a ferocious face, one word at a time.<\/p>\n<p>Desiree clenched her teeth and said, &#8220;Lance, I know you still like me, but you scare me like this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You are afraid?&#8221; Lance smiled and looked at Desiree&#8217;s bloodless face, &#8220;I thought you never knew what fear was.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lance, we are a couple&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A couple? Have you ever treated me like a husband?&#8221; Lance sneered, &#8220;I&#8217;m afraid no one knows that ever since we got married, we haven&#8217;t slept together. However, everyone knows that you&#8217;ve cuckolded me over and over again. Desiree, do you think I&#8217;ll still like you when you are like this?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lance, I&#8217;ve said that I am going to be a good wife. If you want me, I&#8217;ll do it anytime&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s useless!&#8221; Lance said coldly, &#8220;Desiree, why do you think I like you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Desiree&#8217;s face turned even paler.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Because &#8230; Because&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Because ten years ago, you saved my life when I was in a desperate situation and I was blind back then, but&#8230;&#8221; As Lance finished, Desiree&#8217;s body began to tremble violently.<\/p>\n<p>Lance touched Desiree&#8217;s face, and her tremor was stronger.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What are you afraid of?&#8221; Lance looked at Desiree meaningfully.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I &#8230; I&#8217;m not scared. Didn&#8217;t you know that I saved you back then? Why did you suddenly bring this up?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Did you really save me?&#8221; Lance sneered, &#8220;Desiree, my patience is limited. I&#8217;ve killed many people. I am not a good person. To me, the most unacceptable things are lies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Desiree looked at Lance in horror.<\/p>\n<p>He knew everything.<\/p>\n<p>How could he know it? At that time, Lance was blind for a short time. He clearly couldn&#8217;t see that girl, so how could he recognize that she wasn&#8217;t his savior?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The girl who saved me wore a semi-circular jade pendant around her neck,&#8221; Lance said with narrowed eyes.<\/p>\n<p>After hearing Lance&#8217;s words, Desiree suddenly realized something.<\/p>\n<p>When she watched the video, she saw something.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey wore a semi-circular jade pendant around her neck. No wonder Desiree found that woman familiar when she saw her earlier. She didn&#8217;t know&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>She could never imagine that Audrey was the girl who saved Lance&#8217;s life ten years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Lance pushed the embarrassed Desiree over. Losing her balance, Desiree fell down towards the two-man. They subconsciously caught her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll leave her to you. Put her in the dungeon in the biggest cell in the men&#8217;s cell.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Desiree was shocked, &#8220;What? You &#8230; you can&#8217;t do this!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The two men grabbing Desiree were stunned.<\/p>\n<p>Desiree was Lance&#8217;s wife.<\/p>\n<p>In the men&#8217;s cells were all male prisoners. If Desiree were to be locked there, she would be in a perilous position.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing that the two froze, Lance wore a gloomy face and he shouted, &#8220;Do it now!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No buts. Do it now. Also, send someone to the police station to deliver all the evidence of Kadin&#8217;s crimes in the past three years. Judge him according to law!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Desiree was speechless.<\/p>\n<p>She was completely finished.<\/p>\n<p>Desiree gritted her teeth and said, &#8220;Although I lied to you ten years ago, it was my business. Please let my brother go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh, you lied to me, but I don&#8217;t have any other hobbies other than holding grudges against the person the culprit cares about the most. Didn&#8217;t you care about your brother? I&#8217;ll let him wait for you on the way to hell.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Desiree fell to the ground powerlessly.<\/p>\n<p>Devil, Lance was a devil.<\/p>\n<p>After Desiree was taken away, Lance had someone send another iPad and continued watching Audrey&#8217;s video at the press conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3488","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
