Ice and Fire novel Chapter 746

"Greg," Violet called his name.

"You know what kind of person Sharon is, I already told you. Why are you still talking to her?" Greg couldn't hold his feelings back anymore and screamed at her.

That was the first time Greg had shouted at her. She was frightened by his sudden anger and took a few steps backwards unconsciously. Greg regretted what he had done immediately when he saw that he had frightened Violet. He had never felt more helpless than in that moment. The information that he had heard was so overwhelming.

Greg grabbed Violet's arm. His grip was tight, but he ignored Violet's pained face and confronted her,"Why did you accept the hundred million from her? You were never short of money. You are from a rich family, why did you accept the money from her?"

"No, it wasn't like that, Greg, listen," Violet tried to explain. Greg's grip on her was too tight, and it was beginning to hurt.

"What should I make of all this? I just heard Sharon accusing you of taking a hundred million from her as payment to leave me. Why would you accept that? Is that my worth? Is that the price of our love?" Greg bombarded her with questions. Few seconds later, he shouted again,"Talk to me!"

His loud and harsh voice drew Fred's attention.

Violet and Greg both quieted down after hearing footsteps closing in on their room.

Fred stopped by the door. He saw Greg grabbing Violet's arm, but he couldn't see Violet's face. So it was hard for him to figure out what exactly was going on between them. "Greg, what's going on?" he asked.

Greg turned to look at Violet, and figured that she wasn't going to respond. He didn't want his father to worry about them, so he said,"Nothing, Dad, don't worry."

"You sure?" Fred was worried, because from where he was standing, he couldn't see Violet's expression.

"Yes, we are fine," answered Greg in a reassuring tone.

Fred was relieved after he confirmed again. He said,"Okay then, I'll go back to my room."

After the sound of his footsteps had disappeared in the corridor, Greg shifted his eyes back to Violet again. She was almost in tears because of the pain Greg was causing in her arm. Greg saw that the side of her face was already swollen, and the mark on her neck where Sharon had choked her was so obvious. He suddenly felt sad and wanted to protect her at all costs.

But their conversation still lingered in Greg's mind. The whole incident seemed very suspicious and he had to know what exactly had happened five years back.
