Chapter 4 A Blessing… and a Curse
The Meyer Residence.
When Eudora George returned to her marital residence, it was already late at night.
When she walked past the living room, she noticed that her husband and her mother-in-law were eating dinner together. Laura Westin immediately threw her spoon onto the table at the sight of her. “I don’t want to eat anymore! My appetite is ruined!”
Eudora ignored her and walked straight ahead.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“Stop!” Felix Meyer suddenly opened his mouth.
When Eudora turned back to look at him, Felix sneered and pointed at the ground. “Kneel down and crawl to me.” He shouted at her like she was a dog.
Eudora pursed her lips and lowered her head, masking her expression.
“What? You don’t want to?”
Eudora still didn’t move, refusing to entertain Felix.
Her indifference made Felix angry. He stood up from the table and stomped over to Eudora. He grabbed her chin roughly, lifted her face and glared at her.
“Eudora George, are you pretending to be noble? You’re just a lowly person and you should be grateful that I married you out of your poverty. Besides, did I not treat you well enough? You get 10, 000 dollars worth of monthly allowance without even having to work your ass outside. I just asked you to cook something for my mother, and yet you betrayed me? You cheated on me?”
“Ha ha!”
Eudora sneered, “Did you really think that that is considered as good treatment? In that case, why don’t you hire a servant instead? At least a servant still has rights and control over her own life. Me? I have nothing! If you think that I’m having such a good life, why don’t you switch with me? I’ll give you 10, 000 dollars every month. You serve your mother and myself. You don’t need to do much, just make us three meals a day. What do you say?”
“Pa!” Felix gave Eudora a hard slap.
Eudora subconsciously returned the slap, but she was held back by Felix.
“Do you want to die? I think you did not realise how much your pathetic father begged me today. He begged me not to divorce you and asked me to forgive you one last time! He also knelt down to me! And you dare to try and hit me? If you hit me, I’ll immediately ask people to mess up with your family’s company. I’ll see how arrogant you will be at that time!”
Eudora clenched her teeth and balled her hands into fists. She finally saw clearly that her husband is nothing but a scumbag!
Felix loosened his grip on Eudora’s wrist and patted her cheek. “That’s good. Isn’t it better if you act like this from now on. You are lucky that you have a good father. If he didn’t kneel down and beg me, I wouldn’t have let you off so easily. Be a good girl from now on, or else don’t blame me for not considering our relationship as husband and wife.”
After Felix finished talking, he looked at the servant next to him and said, “Keep an eye on Young Madam. If she goes out and stirs up trouble again, you will be the one responsible!”
“Yes sir!”
Eudora stood in the living room, her feet cold as ice.
She could hear the faint sound of raised voices arguing from upstairs.
“Why are you still keeping this kind of trash around? Are you trying to make things difficult for me? Why won’t you just divorce her?”
She could hear Felix’s arrogant and loud voice answering his mother. “Why should I divorce her? Don’t you know that Eudora has the most beautiful face in the whole of Rosaville City? There are so many people who are envious of me? Marrying a beauty like that who doesn’t stop me from having fun outside, it’s a win-win situation isn’t it? I can’t ask for more. I’m not going to divorce…”
Eudora smiled wryly. The most beautiful face in Rosaville City? She once thought that her pretty face was a gift from God.
Turns out, it’s a blessing… and a curse.
