Chapter 32 One Last Time
Bentley heard a plonk.
It was the sound of knees hitting the ground!
"Mr. Shawn, I will transfer one million dollars to the bank account. I will work hard, please believe me. Give me more time."
One million dollars resulted from the man's spite, his humiliation and revenge. If he could feel better and be mollified in this way, Caroline would do anything.
She had the chance to barter one million dollars for freedom.
Bentley could hardly restrain the increasing fury in his heart.
He didn't find that his eyes were mixed with complicated pain when he looked at Caroline!
She was such a supercilious woman in the past!
Wimpy, wretched, humble and pitiful... when were these words used to describe this woman?
She knelt to him?
She knelt down before him!
Damn!
"Are your knees so worthless? How can you kneel down so easily?"
Caroline opened her eyes wide. She didn't dare to blink, for fear that if she blinked, she would shed tears from her sour eyes.
She was afraid of taking a beating.
She was not afraid of pain, but for fear of hearing the sound of self-esteem crumbling from the bottom of her heart!
Bentley, you didn't know that in that prison, I dared not cry. Every time I cried, I was beaten severely.
You didn't know I was no longer Caroline.
You didn't know that when I was tied to the toilet to sleep and all the people laughed at me, I thought I was not a person, but an animal, a dog, a pig!
"Caroline, I'm asking you one last time. Are you sure you want to discard your dignity?" Bentley was a cold man who always hid his emotions from other people. His mind couldn't be pried into by others.
However, the anger and pain buried under his cold voice wasn't perceived even by himself.
Caroline's hands propping up on the ground were shaking.
She lowered her head quickly to stare at the ground in front of her.
Dignity? What was dignity?
It had been obliterated after three years in prison.
Thinking of that girl, she wanted to cry with red eyes. Her name was Delores. In the prison, she once said, "Callie, you can cry. I feel sad when seeing you like this. I'll looked warily around for you, so they won't see you. Have a good cry and you'll feel better."
Then, Caroline began to cry.
Afterwards, Delores was implicated. Both she and Caroline were beaten by other female prisoners.
Bentley, I didn't even have the right to cry.
What did the dignity you mentioned mean to me?
"I'm no longer Caroline." She said to Bentley in a hoarse and husky voice.
At this moment, Bentley, such a calm person, also opened his eyes wide and looked at the woman on the ground in disbelief!
She just said it!
She just admitted it so easily!
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
In the bedroom, there was a strange and tense airflow.
A touch of smile appeared on the thin lips of Bentley. "Since Ms. Jameson said that, I can't live up to your wish. In the future, please work hard in Royal Club."
Caroline gave a wan smile silently.
She dropped her eyes to cover up her grief.
Bentley, why did you behave like this?
It was because of you that I fell into such a miserable condition.
Apart from an incomplete body and broken soul, what did you leave for me to let me stay true to myself once full of pride?
Why did you show that you didn't know anything?
