My response stumped Lyle. He let me go and sat back on the couch and lit another cigarette. He leisurely smiled and said, “I have presented the way to glory right in front of your eyes. As long as you’re willing to become my woman, I’ll give you everything you want. However, if you’re not willing to do so, you will be in a situation far worse than what you’re facing right now.”
“Are you threatening me?” I shook my head and smiled. When did I become so desirable? He even threatened me to make me his woman.
“No. It’s just a suggestion. Eve, I am doing this for you. We were once husband and wife. Come back to me and be my wife again; be a loving daughter-in-law. You’ll just be returning to where you started. That’s all.” Lyle turned on the TV casually as he spoke.
The TV was showing an official news broadcast, and the report was about the incident on how I pushed Crystal down the stairs at the hotel. They even showed the screenshot of the hotel video and reported it as breaking news.

I looked toward Lyle and saw him looking at me with eyes of determination, expecting me to give in. He was filled with arrogance, just like when he proposed to me two years ago, waiting for me to go to him. That was probably the primary difference between Lyle and Christopher.
Christopher would never stand and wait for me to go to him. He would come to me, express his love for me, work hard to treat me well, and pamper me.
“I still remember that you were the one who proposed to me,” I said.
“I will clarify with the journalists. I believe Grandma will also be willing to stand up and speak for you,” Lyle explained.
I smirked and said to Lyle, “I have three words for you. Take a guess.”
