If she had a chance to choose someone who could give her a better life and someone she liked to live with, it would be Armand.
However, now, she had some regrets. If she had been willing to go through the hard times with Armand, she would be Mrs. Bernie now, with both fame and fortune.
Unfortunately, it was too late for her to regret it.
Now, she had nothing left.
She hugged Armand’s leg, and her tears smeared her delicate makeup, “For the sake of us once being together, can you give me one more chance?”
Armand let out a laugh, “Do you want me to give you a chance to make me feel sick?”
Phoebe was dumbfounded, but she had no one else to turn to now. Who else could she go to but Armand?
When she looked around, she found that Armand was the only one who was handsome, rich, and whom she liked.
“Please.” Phoebe clung to his leg and wouldn’t let go, “Armand, I know I’m wrong. I mean it! I’m begging you to give me a chance. I will make things right and stay with you. And I will take care of your grandmother for you. Armand, please.” Phoebe’s face pressed against his calf. She was crying while sniffling.
Armand’s gaze looked a little cold, then he said word by word, “Let go of me.”
“I won’t let go.” Phoebe clung to his leg and wouldn’t let go. As if she would lose him completely if she let go.
Armand knelt down, reached up, cupped her chin, and forced her to look at him, “How much of what happened to you was intentional? I remember you couldn’t walk on your leg while you were in the hospital. What? You can even wear high heels now? Or did you have to rush over because you wanted to see your old lover, even though your leg was injured?”
“I was wrong! I did know I made a mistake. Armand, please…”
Armand sneered, “I was so blind that I fell for you!”
He said that and kicked her away rudely. Then Phoebe leaned back and knocked down the chair behind her.
Armand walked away without looking at her.
“Armand!” Armand didn’t stop walking, even though Phoebe screamed as loudly as she could.
His decision was a disappointment to Phoebe. And she had broken the good memories of their time together. And even as he remembered their time together now, Armand felt sick.
After Theresa left the hospital, she called Loredana and asked her to meet her. And she felt exhausted.
“I want to get out of here.” Theresa kept her head down.
She felt tired and wanted to rest.
Loredana looked at her red eyes, “Have you been crying?”
Theresa didn’t deny it, “I just went to the hospital and saw Armand. And I saw him with Phoebe.”
Loredana’ heart sank slightly, and she couldn’t help but grunt inwardly. However, she thought Armand must have known Phoebe’s true nature by now.
“Does he know about the baby yet?”
Theresa shook her head, “He doesn’t know.”
“Whatever you decide, I’m with you.” Loredana pulled a bank card out of her bag and pushed it to her, “You take it.”
Theresa hurriedly pushed the card back, “I can’t take this.”
Loredana took her hand, “This money is not for you, and it’s for the baby in your belly. If you want to buy something to eat, just buy it. And don’t upset yourself. As for Armand, just let him cool off on his own.” Even if he now knew that he was wrong and came to get Theresa back, then Theresa couldn’t easily forgive him.
And Armand had grown up, but he did not yet know what the most important people and things were in his life.
Therefore, Loredana had to teach him a lesson.
Theresa smiled bitterly. And she felt that Armand’s attitude didn’t matter to her anymore. And she wanted to find a place right now to have the baby and live in peace.
Since she left, she didn’t want to come back, “Will you not have enough employees in your store?”
Loredana reassured her, “You don’t have to worry about that. If there are not enough employees, I will ask Mrs. William to send someone to work here. And I can only keep my business for now, so there are enough employees to work for me to run the business.”
Theresa was relieved.
“If you figure out where you’re going, just let me know. And I’ll see you off.” Loredana said.
Theresa said, “Okay.” Then they chatted for a while. At that moment, the phone in Loredana’ bag rang. It was the kindergarten teacher calling her and telling her that Simona had gotten into a fight with another child.
If Samuel had gotten into a fight with someone else, Loredana wouldn’t have thought it was ridiculous. Although her daughter always threw a tantrum and was occasionally rude to her brother, she would never get into a fight.
Then she told Theresa that she had something to do, so she left in a hurry.
After Loredana left, Theresa also walked out. When she walked just to the side of the road and was ready to take a taxi, a black van suddenly pulled up beside her. The people inside the van got out and grabbed her without saying a word.
Theresa was shocked, “What are you trying to do to me?”
However, the men looked tough and ignored her. And then two strong men took control of her and shoved her into the van, pulled the door shut, and drove away.
“Who are you guys?” Theresa looked at them in alarm. These people were clearly unkind and she was their target.
Seeing that they grabbed her without saying a word, they knew who she was, which was why they were being so straightforward.
The two men were looking at her and the driver was in the front, all of them ignored her completely.
Theresa began to shout wildly as she struggled, “Let me go!”
The driver seemed to think that she was being too noisy and he shouted at the two men, “Don’t let her scream!”
One of the men immediately covered her mouth and warned, “Behave well!”
Theresa’s brain went blank. Everything was terrifying. She just wanted to leave this scary place quickly, but whatever rational mind she had left told her that she could not escape from here.
All she could do was to calm down for a while and wait for the right opportunity to escape.
Theresa’s heart became even more flustered as the car drove further and further away from the city.
After about an hour, the car had completely driven out of the city and reached the coast of Repulse Bay.
However, in front of the two sturdy men, she had no chance of escaping.
There were a lot of fishing boats parked near the beach in front of a building that was under construction in front of the hill. After the car stopped, the two huge men rudely pulled Theresa out of the car. When she didn’t walk, they just held her by her arms and dragged her with them towards the boat.
Theresa was frightened and anxious, she yelled frantically, “Is anyone here? Help! Is anyone here? Help me… Help…”
