Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3003

However, the Karen in front of him was nothing like the old Karen.

She narrowed her eyes and smirked coldly, "Silas Gray, you really can do anything for money, huh..."

Silas let out a cold shiver. That malicious tone of hers was like an invisible knife held at his throat.

He realized Karen no longer had the feelings she once had for him. Not only did she lack any sentiment, but she also seemed inclined to end his life!

Pain and fear washed over Silas… He recalled the days when the Ruiz family forced him to stay away from A City. He could not help but shudder. He learned that one should never offend the Ruiz family. That was when he grasped this particular life lesson.

During that time, the Ruiz family wielded significant influence and power. It was way beyond the reach of someone like him, a regular civilian.

Years had passed, and he truly had no money left. He was so poor that he could not even afford a meal. That was why he did not hesitate and agreed directly when those people found him.

After all, Karen's family had lost much of their former wealth, influence, and power over the years.

However, little did he expect that Karen could still squeeze the life out of him so effortlessly…

A hint of disdain appeared in Karen's eyes when she saw Silas in this state. She wondered how she had ended up with such a man in the first place and recalled all the stories that unfolded between them...

Karen felt her stomach churn. She was nauseated by the swarm of thoughts.

She raised her hand, initially thinking of slapping Silas. However, she remembered what her subordinate had said and opted for a swift kick instead, landing it forcefully.

"Ugh," grunted Silas as he collapsed to the ground.

Karen showed no mercy when she faced her former lover. Considering the things he had done, she wished she could go back in time and slap him the moment they first met.

If she had put an end to that chapter of her life, it was unlikely that Daryl would have an affair. Their married life could have been much happier.

After all, Daryl was far superior to the man lying on the ground. Even if he did not have strong feelings for her, he would at least treat her with respect and they could lead a happy life together.

"Silas, you ruined my past life and now you want to ruin my life. I won't let you get away with it!" Karen declared ominously. She leaned down, locking eyes with his dark, withered face. Her eyes were filled with resentment.

It was as though an evil spirit was staring at him. Silas let out another cold shiver. The man beside them could not help but wonder how could a man be so spineless.

Especially when he used to be Karen's lover.

He found it unbelievable.

"I’m sorry, Karen. I messed up. I was just desperate for money. If it weren't for your brother..."

“Shut up!” Karen cut him off harshly. What Silas was trying to say was that if it were not for her brother kicking him out back then, he would not be in the mess he was in today.

Silas used to have a slightly better education than others, but he lacked ambition. Even if he was expelled from A City, there were plenty of coastal cities where he could have thrived.

If he really had the talent, why limit himself to the countryside where he worked like a farmer? He could have flourished anywhere, no?

The problem was that Silas lived a life of complacency. Even if he had stayed in A City, he would have relied on his looks and education to deceive other women. He would have become nothing more than a gigolo.

Hatred burned within Karen. This guy was absolutely despicable!

She thought about kicking him again, but the man beside her reminded, "Madam Mallory, we've got more important things to attend to."

His words made Karen come back to her senses. She frowned and asked, "Are you saying it was Luke Crawford who instructed you to release those so-called facts to the media?"

Silas initially wanted to argue that it was indeed the truth, not the so-called facts.
