Chapter 60
Melvin wore a look of disbelief. "I don't believe it. You lost your virginity a long time ago. I saw with my own eyes that you hugged a man with disheveled clothes in that cave. And you married into the Lucero family. You also keep a gigolo and hooked up with Kenneth. You had sex with so many men. You are a dirty woman!"
Arabella looked at him, who was about to break down mentally. She felt that it was really funny. "Are you done? Looks like the medical report can't change your dirty mind."
"You are lying, Arabella. You are lying! The medical report can be a fake one. Even if the report was real, you could have repaired your virginity in a hospital. You..."
Arabella raised her hand and slapped him hard.
Slap!
Melvin's handsome face faced the other way as a result of the slap.
Arabella broke free from him, then threw the original medical report from her handbag in his handsome face. "Melvin, don't overvalue yourself. Look how much you are worth today. Why would I do so much just to lie to you?"
Melvin picked up the medical report on the carpet and read it carefully several times.
"Melvin, from what I can recall, you were not stupid. Back then, I rescued the man on the snowy mountain. I hugged him to keep him warm. How old was I at that time? Why do you keep thinking that way, believing in lies for so many years?"
Melvin crumpled the medical report, then stepped forward to hold Arabella's shoulder. "Bella, I was wrong. I wronged you. I won't get engaged to Leia. You want to destroy the Snyder family, right? I'll help you with it. Please give me one more chance. Let's start over, okay?"
Arabella looked at Melvin, who looked obsessed and ferocious. She sneered, "back then, why did you stab me in the back? Why did you accuse me of pushing Grandpa down the stairs? Melvin, tell me the reason now!"
Melvin's eyes quickly became bloodshot. The veins on his forehead were bulging. "Bella, it's in the past. Let's not talk about it from now on. I will make it up for you. I will love you whole-heartedly from now on."
He was still reluctant to tell her the reason.
Arabella still couldn't understand after all these years. Why did he smear her?
Her mum liked him so much and wanted them to get married when they grew up. At that time, Arabella called him Melvin.
She couldn't understand why he did that!
Now, he still didn't want to talk about it.
"Melvin, you know, ever since you accused me, it's impossible for us to get back together. When you saw me hugging that man while Leia fanned the flames, you convinced yourself that I betrayed you. Because of that you used shameless and despicable tricks to destroy me and even imprisoned me to force me to be your private slave. Melvin, do you know how disgusted I am when I see you now?"
Melvin looked into her bright eyes, which were so pure and clear, as if she could see through all on his dirty mind.
Sometimes, he wished that she wasn't so smart.
He had convinced himself all along. Otherwise, how could he be in hell and willing to drag her to hell too?
"Bella, I love you. You know how much I love you. You brought this medical report to ruin the party today. Wasn't it because you know how much I love you?"
"Yes, I know how much you love me. Ten years ago, you stabbed me in the back knowing how much I trusted you. Melvin, we are now even. I have no feelings for you from now on but only grievances!"
Arabella pushed him away and turned around to leave.
"Bella," Melvin called her with a hoarse voice, "is it really impossible for us to get back together?"
Arabella didn't look back. "Melvin, since you have already chosen your path, don't look back, because I didn't prepare a returning path for you."
Arabella opened the door.
