Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1479

Chapter 1479 Something Unheard Of

By the time Edmund got to that old man’s villa, he could hear Riley screaming frantically from upstairs.

“No! Don’t do this to me, Mr. Spencer. I’m only here to test the wine for you, nothing else. Stop please, or I’ll call up the police.”

“Test the wine?” a disgusting voice asked.

“Ms. Cooper, who is willing to spend six million on you just for testing out the wine? Are you made of gold? Let me be honest with you, it’s because you’re a Cooper. If it was someone else, I wouldn’t give her this price, even if the person is a virgin.”

Cackling hideously, he attempted to jump on poor Riley again, causing her to shriek in fear.

“No… No, it can’t be! That’s not what Ms. Malvich told me. Last time, she mentioned it’s for wine tasting. She didn’t… she didn’t say anything else…”

“It clearly shows that she’s tricked you. Wine tasting? True that. I’m the wine. Come on over and enjoy.”

Staying downstairs, Edmund could hear the commotion going on. He furrowed his brows in rage.

Without hesitation, he went back to his car and fetched himself a baseball bat.

Within minutes, the terrified woman on the first floor had been slapped across the face, laying on the bed feeling devastated.

Bang! Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and Edmund darted into the room.

The moment he saw the big, fat, and ugly man pinning himself against Riley, he swung the bat in his hands and smashed it into his head.

Thump!

The old man collapsed on the floor without a sound.

Riley was totally shocked to the core. She was still trying to process what had just happened. A familiar face dashed into the room and beat up Roger.

After what seemed like an eternity, tears started rolling down from the corner of her eyes.

Initially, Edmund wanted to lash it out on her because he felt humiliated by the stupid old man.

Why would the Coopers resort to committing such dirty acts to gain a living? Is she that shameless or am I that useless?

He clenched his jaw as a menacing look flashed across his eyes. Seeing her split lip and sorrowful wailing, he withheld his pent-up anger.

A few minutes later, he carried the woman downstairs and to the car.

“Edmund, please… don’t tell anyone about this,” she pleaded upon struggling to string her words into a sentence.
