May Shen seemed startled, but she tried to calm herself down. How could Charles Mu know anything about what had happened? He was just a child back then. It was impossible that anyone should know what exactly happened.
Besides, everyone lived for themselves. May Shen didn't think she did anything wrong.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"Are you sure? Try and think again, May Shen." Charles Mu slightly raised his eyebrows, and his jet-black eyes were fixed on May Shen, who kept avoiding his fierce stare.
"Think about what? What about the car I demanded? Do you have it prepared? Or would you like to see your fiancee killed?"
May Shen was obviously getting flustered as time went by. And the more she got frightened, the closer she put the shard to Linda's neck.
"May? What did he mean? What on earth did you do?" asked Johnson Xia in a frown.
"What's it to you? Johnson Xia, I'm done with you today!"
No matter how much May Shen hated Johnson Xia, they had been married for all these years. And part of her deep down still felt sorry that they had to end it in this way.
But she was determined.
"May!"
Johnson Xia frowned and called her again. Linda felt sorry to see the bewilderment and hesitancy in his face.
"Done? After spending years transferring all the stocks and working capital owned by Lord Xia, and now you are done with him? Truly impressive." There was still not a trace of emotion to be found on Charles Mu's handsome face. And May Shen wouldn't even dare look up at his cold black eyes.
"What? May? Is it true? asked Johnson Xia in shock.
Through all these years, Johnson Xia had always believed he was the one to blame. Even though May Shen hooked up with another man, part of Johnson Xia still felt that was his fault, for he was the one who failed her first and let her spend five whole desperate years waiting for him.
Besides, Johnson Xia was six years older than May Shen. He was in his fifties, whereas May Shen was in her forties, an age which marked the peak of a woman's sexual desire.
"Truth or not, what difference does it make? Johnson Xia, you owe me! You owe this to me and Lisa! I don't want to do this 【neither】, but you brought back that daughter you had with that slut. What else do you expect? I have to do this."
"What do I owe to you and Lisa? May, didn't Lisa get the best of everything growing up? I gave her whatever she wanted. As for you, I know I had let you down for those five years, but isn't it enough that I pay you back with the past twenty years? May, is there really no love but hatred for me in your heart?"
Johnson Xia never felt more frustrated. He had always doted on Lisa and gave her the best he could afford.
Linda was his own daughter as well. Though Johnson Xia brought Linda back to the Xia clan, he did nothing more than greetings and giving her several houses as compensation. He wasn't even there to look after Linda when she was a child. Indeed, they hadn't had enough proper conversations since she was back.
"That's enough, Johnson Xia. We both know it. Do you get everything that I demand, Charles Mu?"
"I do."
"Where?"
With a glint of cleverness in her eyes, Linda lowered her head and let out a sneer, "We have it prepared, but we never plan to give it to you..."
Then Linda slightly raised her left hand while triggering the dragon ring with her right hand. A steel ball was immediately shot from the ring and into the wrist of May Shen.
The sudden pain rendered May Shen's wrist numb and consequently she dropped the shard to the floor and broke it in two.
Right when Linda broke free from May Shen's grip, Bun dashed forward and grabbed May Shen's shoulder and then turned it inward.
Then Bun kicked May Shen on her shank to force her to kneel down, and then she shouted, "Stay still if you don't want me to break your bones."
