Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 153 - 153: Do You Think You Won?

Looking at Valerie's familiar but distorted face, Savannah felt angry and a little sad.

"We are cousins, and we are all, Schultz. Our fathers were brothers. Besides our parents, we are the dearest person to each other in the world, why do you treat me like this? You took away my fiancé, and now you try to kill me by such extreme means! I wonder what makes you hate me so much."

Valerie did not expect that Savannah would suddenly question her. She paused for a moment, her eyes narrowed. There was a mocking smile hovering about her lips.

"Yes, I just hate you!" It seemed that Valerie decided to make no attempt to hide her emotion. "I've hated you since we were little! At that time, I always wondered why your father, my uncle, was so capable and able to handle the factory well. Because of this, our grandpa left the Schultz's factory to your father, instead of giving it to my father, who was the older one! And my dad, who had nothing to do, was a bad gambler! I hate you and envy you. Why was your mother so beautiful, gentle, and educated! And you, as their only child, were always like a little princess!"

After a pause, Valerie gritted her teeth and continued.

"From childhood to adulthood, people around us all liked you. Even the workers in our factory, those uncles liked you very much. They treated you like a little princess. At that time, your family was better than mine; your father was more capable, and your mother was very beautiful. I wonder if you'd ever thought how I felt."

"I…" Savannah wanted to say something but was stopped by Valerie's harsh voice.

"Savannah, I still remember the day when I went to your house for your eighth birthday. You were wearing a pink princess dress, being led downstairs by your beautiful mother. At that moment, it seemed that the light of the world was all shining on you, and then I decided that I must win you in everything!"

Savannah took a deep breath. She never knew that her cousin was jealous and felt hostility toward her at such a young age.

Valerie smiled evilly. Her words were uttered quietly but in a tone so nasty.

"Every dog has its day. Maybe God heard my wish. Your fortune was slowly declined. Your mother ran away, and then your father died in a car accident. You little princess, loved by everyone, became an orphan! Ha! I was so happy to see you in that state. You know what? My parents didn't even want to adopt you at the very start. But by adopting you, they could manage your legacy and the Schultz's factory for you, and I could go to a prestigious university and wear fancy clothes. Admitting that I didn't want to see you in my home, I had to say you were valuable to me. Think about it, if you had not lived in my home, I would not have seduced Devin and married him."

A wave of anger caught Savannah's throat with a cruel hand. She grabbed the coffee on the table and wanted to throw it in Valerie's face!

Valerie, on guard, caught Savannah's wrist and glared at her fiercely.

"You want to throw it on me? What are you? A bitch abandoned by your fiancé and then kept by your fiancé's uncle! Now, even Dylan is leaving you! Just wait for nothing!"

With that, Valerie gave her cousin a strong push!

Although Valerie had just had an abortion, her body was well-nourished, and now she recovered. She pushed Savannah so hard that Savannah bumped rudely into a table behind her.

Looking at the look of pain on Savannah's face, Valerie felt very pleased and laughed, not conscious of her manners at all. Then, like a victorious queen, Valerie tucked one tendril of her hair behind her ear as she turned and left. Before she got in the car, she heard the cold voice of Savannah behind her.

"Yes, you seduced Devin and successfully married into a rich family. But do you really enjoy your life now? You know exactly what made you married Devin. You know clearly, Devin does not love you. Do you think you won? No. Even worse, you lost badly."

Valerie stopped and whirled around. Veins throbbed on her forehead, and she clenched her fists.

Savannah noted the hate and vehemence in Valerie's eyes. She knew she had touched Valerie on the raw.

"If I were you," Savannah continued, raising herself up, "I would put all my energy into how to keep my husband without a son. And I suggest you find a way to keep your footing in the Sterling first."

"Isn't that just a child? I will have another one, two, or even three or four, and you don't need to worry about it. I'm quite fine in the Sterling!" Valerie shouted, her face reddening.

"Well, the question is whether Devin wants to give you a baby again. I guess he didn't want to get married so early, and he didn't want you to get pregnant at all. You must have played a dirty trick to get the baby, right? If that's the case, Devin should still resent it. Do you think he'll have another baby with you? I know his character very well; he won't make the same mistake. There are so many beautiful women around him. My dear cousin, be careful. If another woman gets pregnant by Devin, you might have to give way to another woman." Savannah fought back without mercy.

Valerie's reddened face turned pale. Though she knew that Savannah just tried to throw cold water on her, what Savannah said might really happen.

She planned the unexpected pregnancy, and Devin still bore a grudge against her. Although he married her because of the unborn child, he made a stranger to her these days and refused to sleep with her.

Since she lost the child, he had returned to his free life, like a runaway train.

She knew all this, but she did not dare to think about it.

"Shut up! You'll soon be sent to jail. Worry about yourself!" Valerie glared at her cousin and shouted back.

Then she turned and got in the car in a rage.

Savannah frowned. What did Valerie mean by saying that?

However, she had no time to dwell upon this, and she felt a sharp pain in her back.
