“Yes, this is how vicious I am. ” Mireya approached him little by little, with insanity filling her eyes. ” Rodney Snow, you’d better stay away from me. Who knows if I might carry along a knife and stab your lower part one day?”
Upon sensing the grimness in her eyes, Rodney subconsciously took two steps back. He felt that the mind of the woman in front of him was twisted. ” Mireya, when did you become like this?”
“If it isn’t all your woman’s doing.” Mireya violently pushed Rodney away and made her way to the door. When she was out the door, she turned back and glanced at Sarah. “Sarah Neeson, you best not contact me in private anymore. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up every time I see you. Perhaps… I’ll also pour your ashes into the drain.”
With that, she left straight away.
Sarah held Rodney as she trembled and wept coyly.
“Rodney, you shouldn’t have stopped her just now. Since she dislikes me, you should’ve let her take it out on me. I don’t wish for the two of you to end in a divorce.”
Rodney was very disturbed. However, seeing Sarah in this state, he could not bring himself to criticize her. Hence, he said, “Sarah, why did you ask her out privately? This is between me and her. I’ve told you not to look for her.”
After pausing for a moment, he told the bodyguard off, “You too. How dare you take her here without my knowledge. If the sitter hadn’t told me that the two of you were out, I wouldn’t have known you came here.”
The bodyguard regretted his deed. Yet before he could say anything, Sarah spoke first, “Don’t blame him. I was the one who begged him to do this. I noticed that you’ve been distressed recently, and I know you don’t want to get a divorce. So, I thought of persuading Mireya and explaining to her what happened in the past. But before I could speak further, she splashed the hot coffee at my face… “
Amid her sobs, she raised her swollen hands.
A hint of sympathy flashed across Rodney’s eyes, and he promptly picked Sarah up. “Let me take you to the hospital.
After they arrived at the hospital, the doctor examined Sarah’s condition and said, “Your injuries are quite severe. What happened? Judging from your face… were you beaten up? Do I need to call the police?”
Rodney’s throat bobbed, and he heard Sarah reply, ” No need. I accidentally injured myself.”
The doctor had seen all kinds of patients. Nevertheless, he did not ask the patient further since she did not plan to look into the issue. He only added, “Anyway, your condition has been jotted in the medical record. If you want to look into it, you can always ask me to issue a report to you.”
“Thank you, doctor.” Sarah expressed her gratitude in a low voice and then looked down without saying anything else.
Those words upset Rodney.
He even felt that he had wronged Sarah again. If it were not for him, she could have held Mireya accountable.
At the same time, he could not help but blame Mireya. If the hot coffee had splashed onto Sarah’s face, her face would have been disfigured.
However, he could not believe that Mireya was so vicious.
Her words may be harsh, but during his time with her, he realized that her bark was worse than her bite.
After calling the bodyguard out of the ward, the bodyguard said, “When I barged in to save Miss Neeson, I happened to see… Young Madam holding a carafe to splash the coffee at Miss Neeson’s face. I t was quite… terrifying. When I kicked the carafe with my Martin boot, it burned the outer layer of m y boot.”
Rodney lowered his head and looked at the bodyguard’s boot. Indeed, there was a burn mark on the bodyguard’s Martin boot.
He dared not imagine what would have happened if the coffee landed on Sarah’s face.
A chill rose within him in spite of himself. “Did you hear what they said from outside?”
The bodyguard furrowed his brows. “The private room had good soundproofing. From what I could vaguely hear, Miss Neeson seemed to have claimed that she isn’t romantically involved with you, and you like Young Madam… Before I could catch what they said later, I heard a commotion.”
The chill in Rodney slowly spread.
Although he knew that Mireya would not listen to any explanation, he never thought that she would go as far as destroying a woman’s appearance.
What an evil deed it was.
She had always criticized Sarah for being vicious, yet what she did was even more appalling.
He could not even figure out why Mireya had become like this.
If the bodyguard had not stopped her in time, her action could have been considered a crime.
Was she under the impression that she could do whatever she wanted just because she had the executive council backing her?
When Sarah was finally done with IV infusion, she said softly, “Rodney, don’t stay here with me.
There are a lot of people in the hospital. If news about this spreads and Mireya sees it, it’ll be difficult for you to mend your relationship with her.”
“I’m sorry, Sarah.” The more forgiving she appeared, the more apologetic Rodney felt. ” It’s all my fault.”
“How is it your fault? It’s because of my lack of self— knowledge. I shouldn’t have looked for Mireya.” Sarah let out a deep sigh before saying sorrowfully, “The misunderstanding between her and I is just too big. Rodney, I really hope you won’t get a divorce. If possible, please send me overseas as soon as you can.”
Looking at her pale face, Rodney nodded with difficulty.
After leaving the ward, Rodney deliberately went to meet the doctor. “Doctor, will it leave scars on her hands?”
“Of course, it will, ” the doctor said. “The scars will be quite obvious in the first two years. Having said that, there’s a kind of ointment available overseas that she can apply on her hands. As time passes, the scars will become less obvious, but it’ll take a few years. Be careful for the next few days, in case she gets a wound infection and develops a fever.”
Rodney nodded. “Please give her the best treatment possible.”
Once he came out, he tried calling Mireya a few times. The calls got through, but she refused to pick them up.
He started to get infuriated.
Mireya tossed her phone to one side.
After that, she poured a glass of beer and drank it alone by the bar counter.
Sarah’s words echoed in her mind, and it filled Mireya with hatred. She hated Sarah, as well as Rodney.
That woman had done so many bad deeds, yet Rodney continued to defend her.
Upon recalling that she was still married to Rodney, she felt sorry for Charity and her old self.
When she tried to attack Sarah today, she did not care about anything at all. She did not mind going to jail or losing her reputation as long as she could kill Sarah.
Unfortunately, that b*tch managed to escape.
“It’s still early, and you’ve already had so much to drink. What’s wrong?”
Eliza put her white purse beside the beer glass before planting herself on the barstool. She was wearing a sweater and a beret along with a pair of huge shades on her nose. If Mireya had not taken a closer look at Eliza, she would not have recognized her. However, she looked good in all kinds of clothing; it was impossible to hide that star quality of hers.
“Eliza, what brings you here? I thought you had gone for a shoot.” Mireya may have drunk a lot, but she was not drunk yet. Her mind was still clear. She remembered sending a message in the group chat when she arrived at the bar.
Cate probably had yet to reply because she was busy with the kids. However, Mireya did not expect Eliza to show up.
“There aren’t any movies suitable for me, so there are no shoots. I’ve only been shooting for advertisements recently, and I’m not that busy, ” Eliza interrupted her. “You’re already a mother.
Don’t drink so much.”
“Yeah, I’m now a mother.” Mireya’s eyes reddened. ” But do you know this child came to this world only because I was tricked? Dani is wonderful and cute. I love her a lot, but who wouldn’t want their child to be born to two loving parents? Since I came to Canberra, my life has taken a turn for the worse. A lot of things have become out of control.”
Eliza kept quiet for a while before she said in a deep voice, “A lot of things are outside our control.”
“Yeah. At least… compared to some people, I’m probably considered lucky,” Mireya said miserably. ” When I first came to Canberra, Cate and I had a good friend named Charity. She had the worst life. She was accused and sent to jail, and both her parents passed away after. I only got to know from meeting Sarah today that she was the one who killed Charity’s mom. Sarah actually hypnotized Aunty Jennifer and caused her to hit herself on the bathroom cabinet in a trance. In the end, Aunty Jennifer bled to death. What was worse, Sarah poured her ashes into the drain.
“Tell me. How can someone be so vicious and inhumane? I really wanted to kill her today, but Rodney, that b*stard, kept defending her. I’m no match for him.”
The more Mireya spoke, the more downhearted she felt. “I’m really useless. I can’t even take revenge for Charity.”
As soon as she finished the sentence, she heard a sudden ¡®snap’ beside her.
Only then did she realize that Eliza had crushed the beer glass in her hand. Shards of glass pierced into Eliza’s palm, and blood began to ooze out.
Mireya was startled. “What’s wrong… with you? Quick! Get some tissues.”
She was a little drunk just now, but at this moment, she was wide awake. She promptly asked the server to get some tissues.
“I’m fine. I’m just angry after hearing what you said.”
Eliza responded calmly and then removed the shards of glass from her palm one by one.
Mireya gasped at the situation.
