Bill knew that if his younger siblings
found out what happened today, the strong image he had built would instantly
crumble! The dignified CEO of Rose International had mistaken someone else for
his bride while registering the marriage! And a month later, he would have to
come back to file for divorce!!!
Anger brewed in Bill’s chest with no outlet for release. Just then, his mother called
again.
Bill didn’t want to
answer, but knowing his mother’s fiery temper, he had
no choice. His voice, however, clearly conveyed his displeasure.
On the other end, his mother spoke
anxiously, “Bill, Honey just called. She was in a car
accident and can't make it. I'm going to see her now. Did you really register
the marriage as you said? Or were you lying? You promised, didn’t you? Did you back out and not go at all?”
Bill’s mother
couldn’t help but reprimand him over the phone. She had
been worried sick about his marriage. He wasn’t
interested in socialites, nor was he involved with celebrities. As his mother,
she had even started to think he liked men. Finally, when an ordinary girl she
approved of came along, he reluctantly agreed to the marriage because Honey had
saved her life. She had thought she would finally have a daughter-in-law.
“Mom, I didn’t lie
to you. I really did register, but I got the wrong person.”
“What?” Bill’s mother was incredulous.
“Who is the other person?”She could barely process the unexpected turn of events.
Bill replied with the last ounce of his
patience, “It’s a woman.”
His mother was speechless. “I know it’s a woman! I’m asking if you looked into her background. Could she be someone who
knows who you are and has ulterior motives?”
Bill’s mother
calmed down, already thinking of how to resolve the situation. After all, she
was from a wealthy family and had seen plenty of crises, so she quickly
regained her composure.
“I’ll handle the
investigation! I’ll divorce her in a month!”
Bill was still fuming, recalling Juliet’s expression as if he had ruined her mission.
His mother spoke coolly, “Yes, hurry up and get the divorce sorted, then pick a good day to
register with Honey.”
Bill couldn’t
understand his mother’s insistence on Honey. So what if
she had saved her life? Just give her enough benefits! Or take care of her
family—why did it have to be marriage?
“Mom, I promised you I’d get married, but no matter who it is, I’ll
only marry once! I’m not seeing Honey again, and I’m definitely not marrying her!”
“Yes, leave her to one of your brothers! I
don’t need her!”
Bill hung up the phone fiercely, his face
as cold as ice.
Three minutes later, Bill sat in a black
Rolls-Royce. Seeing his grim expression, the driver was extra careful. The
bodyguards and assistants didn’t dare to breathe.
Bill, his face still icy, dialed the butler’s number and ordered in a low voice, “Butler,
investigate a woman named Juliet.”
Meanwhile, Honey lay in the hospital bed,
unable to stop her tears. It was all that woman’s
fault! Damn it!
If it weren’t for
that woman suddenly rushing out, she wouldn’t have
crashed her car! She had only run a red light! It wasn’t
a big deal! She had seen the child and wouldn’t have
hit him!
That woman had suddenly rushed out to push
the child away, scaring her into swerving and crashing into a barrier! Her
second-hand car, which she had bought on a loan, was totaled…
Originally, she would have registered the
marriage today and escaped her impoverished life. She planned to use some
tricks during the marriage, accuse Bill of marital rape, then divorce him to
take half of his wealth! But everything was ruined by that woman who suddenly
appeared!
Honey clenched her fists, her red nails
resembling bloodstains. “Just wait, Bill. Not only your
body, but your money will be mine!!!”
