Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 276

Rita's POV:

My heart was filled with joy when I saw Lily dying in bed. Revenge sure was sweet!

"Lily, if it weren't for me, you'd still be that stupid girl living in a dark basement and you'd never be able to make a fortune! See what happens when you betray me?"

For the time being, Lily was unable to move a muscle. All she could do was stare at me with her hateful eyes.

But that wasn't enough to scare me. Slowly, I approached the bed, leaned close to her ear, and said, "You're just a dog that I kept as a pet. How dare you bite the hand that feeds you? You're overestimating yourself!"

Lily's face was overcame by hatred. All of a sudden, her pupils dilated, and her face displayed just how much she loathed me.

I noticed that there was a urine bag hanging beside her bed. Yellow liquid was steadily flowing into the urine bag through a tube connected in Lily's lower body.

Chuckling, I asked, "Why did you pee, Lily? God, you look so hilarious right now!"

Lily began to pound on the bed with both hands, breathing faster and faster.

I locked my eyes with grim intent. "Even if you do know that I'm the one who did it, it won't do you any good. Never forget that I still have some dirt on you."

Having said that, I pressed the call button and the nurse came in at once. "Yes, Miss Lively?" "Nurse, please take good care of this patient." I shot the nurse a knowing glance.

I had already bribed this nurse to do my bidding. 'I'm sure Lily will enjoy the coming days,¹ I thought to myself.

After leaving the hospital, I drove to the seaside in a hurry.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone down on the sparkling sea, and the sun was gradually verging downward on the horizon.

It was then that I noticed the tall man standing on the coastline with his back to me.

Just as I was hesitating, he turned around.

When he shot me a glance, fear crept into my heart. After taking a deep breath, I clenched my fists, thinking that it could give me a sense of security.

"What can I do for you, William?"

"Miss Lively, I've just read the news. And it seems to me that you've finished your private affairs, yes?" Though William was smiling at me, his gaze felt frigid.

I couldn't help but tremble slightly. "Give me another two weeks. Just two more weeks. Please."

I was eager to buy more time to enact my plans. All of a sudden, I felt a powerful set of hands strangle my neck. With eyes widened in horror, I stared at him. Soon, I felt suffocated and my brain was slowly being overcome by the lack of oxygen. I couldn't make a sound and my vision was starting to blur.

My survival instincts compelled me to do my best to get rid of William's hands, but I was far too weak to even nudge him.

'No! I didn't want to die here!' I exclaimed inwardly.

Suddenly, he let go of my neck. I collapsed to the ground, gagging and coughing violently. It felt like my internal organs were about to implode.

I looked up at him, fearful of what he might do next.

It was then that he squatted down in front of me, staring at me with a smirk on his face. I was so scared of him that I couldn't move a muscle.

"Don't try to pull any tricks on me. Why do you need another two weeks? Who are you planning to attack this time?"

Then, he clutched my chest and said, "You don't want me to take this heart from you, do you?"

I shook my head repeatedly, fearing that this madman would tear my chest open with his bare hands.

"William, there's no need to worry. I understand your conditions. I won't try to hurt Scarlett. As long as you give me two more weeks to deal with the Lively Group's problems, I'll disappear immediately. I promise! And if I break that promise, you can take my heart back!"

Just so I could make him believe me, I swore on my life.

"Good. Remember what you told me, Rita. If you try to harm even a single hair on Scarlett's head, I'll make your life a living hell!"

'Scarlett... Once again, you are my undoing! Why is everyone trying to protect you?' I cursed in my heart.
