Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant novel Chapter 22

She held on to the last vestiges of her strength and pushed back against Euan’s chest. Amongst the flowery fragrance which was permeating in the night air, the man’s black coat was covering two overlapping figures. Euan used one hand to prop himself up against the floor so that his body wouldn’t crush her underneath. The sharp tips and edges of the cobblestone pierced into his palm, which sent shockwaves of pain throughout his body.

“You would rather satisfy other men to fulfil your own lust in comparison to satisfying your own husband? Riley, tell me, do you still know who you really are?”

Euan was still immersed in extreme fury, and his searching gaze caught a hint of her avoiding gaze. He wanted to see a look of repentance in her eyes, but that was not what he saw. Instead, the woman underneath him averted her face away from him in an attempt to dodge his searching gaze.

Riley felt like her heart was dripping blood. It felt even more painful than the pain prickling her back.

Satisfy other men? It turned out that in Euan’s eyes, she was such a promiscuous person. In the past three years, there was never a shortage of women who came and went by his side, and all the time she was very obedient and never fooled around with men. Yet, she was being labelled as a promiscuous woman after all of her efforts.

Enough. There was no need for her to endure such humiliation anymore since she had long reached her limits.

“Since Mr. George thinks of me as such an unbecoming woman, why not you let go of me? You are never lacking young beautiful women who are willing to forsake their lives for you, so why are you insisting on pestering me?” Her tone was extremely sarcastic. She was uttering those words to cover up the pain she was feeling deep down.

Euan simply chuckled, “In your dreams! You will never escape my grasp in this lifetime. Look carefully now. See with your eyes what kind of fate will befall those men who you have an affair with. I will destroy whatever part of him that touches you!”

Riley’s eyes widened as she stared at Euan incredulously, “What are you planning to do?”

Euan snorted coldly at the face she was making. She was worrying about a man who had just teased her. At such a thought, Euan almost couldn’t suppress his urge to tear Kaysorn into pieces and chop off his hands and gouge out his eyes!

“Are you feeling sorry for him? This is just the beginning.”

Euan suddenly let out a laugh, and it sounded so sinister as if it was a demon laughing in hell. His depthless gaze was smeared a pitch-black colour, “Soon, I will let you see with your own eyes the consequences of betraying me.”

As he said that, his black coat whipped up a mini storm, and before Riley could recover from her shock, he was no longer plastering himself to her. Her bare skin was reflecting the night glaze in the sky. She was like a beautiful flower waiting to bloom.

Euan’s brows furrowed even further as he shouted, “Get up!”

Damn it! Riley suddenly felt an anger surging from within.

“I feel so painful, can’t get up now.”

She was really in pain, her knee was really in pain, her back was in pain. It was an undeniable kind of pain which penetrated straight to the core of her heart.

Most importantly, her heart was bleeding.

Riley never thought that Euan would extend his kind hands to pull her up, and when his strong hands were clasped with hers, Riley felt like she was a drowning girl who had grasped her last straw in life.

The sky was exploding with blinding whiteness, and the stars were so voluminous that they dyed the sky infinitely.

However, everything was just an illusion.

The moment Euan pulled her up, he immediately let go of her with a disgusted look on his face. He looked down on her dilapidated shirt and immediately felt himself becoming angry again.

“Look at your appearance now! How many men are you planning to fool around with?”

Riley immediately covered her half-naked body with her face blushing! It was as if a hot steel-stamp had left its imprints on her cheeks.

Her clothes were already half-torn because of Kaysorn, and coupled with Euan’s tampering, the minimal fabric on her skin was half-dangling on her waist. The upper half of her body had long been exposed!

It was lucky for her that no one was passing by here, otherwise Riley would definitely be the talk of the town come tomorrow!

Euan removed his coat and draped it over Riley, which almost swallowed her completely. Only her ankles could be seen and her frame seemed to diminish inside the huge coat.

There was a flash of lightning in Euan’s eyes as he scolded, “You can forsake your own dignity, but never make the George family lose face!”

Riley felt a painful bitterness emanating in her heart. In Euan’s eyes, the reputation of the George family rode above everything else. His reputation was more important than her very life.

Could the reason he was so reluctant to divorce her because of his prideful attitude too?

Riley looked up and wanted to smile, but something was stinging her eyes and caused her to grimace. She could only hold his coat close to her body and took in the scent of tequila abundant on his coat. It felt like she was still in his arms.

She didn’t dare to meet his harsh and intimidating gaze anymore as Riley clutched the huge coat. Her long hair which was tidy when she departed from her house earlier was not in tatters, and her hair was cascading to the clavicle on her neck. Her black hair formed a stark contrast to her pale white skin. It was a sight to behold.
