Chapter 6
“Alicia! Stop it!”
“You came out quickly, this kind of joke is not funny at all!”
“I know I stood you up today, I’m sorry. I will find a way to make it up to you, don’t deceive me…
But as he kept shouting, he eventually ran out of strength.
Because he knew better than anyone else.
No one would joke about children and divorce.
Bentley seemed to remember something and ran back to the bedroom like crazy, pulling open the wardrobe to check my things.
Only a few clothes were taken away.
The wedding ring he bought for me, as well as the ring he had just given me a couple of days ago,
were both neatly placed on the bedside table while Bentley collapsed on the floor.
“No way! Alicia, you loved me so much, how could you bear to leave me?”
Just at that moment.
Bentley’s phone rang, it was a call from the lawyer.
“Mr. Cowan, we are from the law firm. A few days ago, we received a commission from Ms. Campbell regarding a divorce agreement…”
Bentley felt his mind go blank, and he couldn’t take in anything.
That night, he held the tiny embryo bottle and curled up in the corner of the sofa, sobbing uncontrollably.
“Alicia, it took us more than ten
could you bear to do this!”
s in the test tube before we finally conceived a child. How
When he saw the embryo, he went to the hospital the same day to inquire with the doctor.
“When was the last time my wife came for a prenatal check–up?”
The doctor looked up and saw it was Bentley, instantly losing his good expression.
“Mr. Cowan, your wife went through the test tube process more than ten times for you. If you were even a decent person with a little bit of humanity, you wouldn’t have hurt and disappointed her!”
“She even went for the abortion procedure alone, without even having someone to sign the documents!”

“Mr. Cowan, even if you made a lot of money, so what? Sometimes you have to pat your chest and ask yourself, did you betray your conscience?”
“You don’t need to ask me any questions, I have nothing to say!”
Bentley went to the hospital and got the cold shoulder, but he also found out the truth.
I knew that I really had an abortion.
He had someone investigate my whereabouts again.
“Sir, the lady left for the airport early this morning and should have already departed from Strongford.”
When Bentley found out that I had really left, he finally panicked.
“Ms. Campbell, the people sent by Strongford have found Lightvale. Are they really going to say, as you said, that you are dead?”
At the party, I was mingling with business partners.
Victor came to me uncertainly to ask.
I chuckled lightly, “Of course, tell him that his wife had already died. If he still doesn’t believe it,
give him the forged bones as well.”
Victor also laughed, “Alright, I really want to see how this scumbag would react after hearing that you died!”
It has been over half a month since I returned to Lightvale. Bentley has been looking for me for half
a month as well.
Lightvale has been found now.
But he didn’t know that more than half of the industries in Lightvale belonged to the Campbell
family.
Even if he wanted to take a fly with him, he would need our consent.
Now I said that I would never see him again, cutting off all contact.
Then let’s just pretend I was dead. Besides, Emilee was threatening to jump off the building, claiming she was pregnant, all just to make him give her a status, right?
They were a perfect match, a pair made in heaven.
After Victor left, I declined all conversations and sat alone in the corner, drinking one glass after
another.
A handsome young boy, however, came over and raised his glass to me with a smile.
Alicia, you look unhappy. How about I accompany you for a drink?”
The handsome young boy had bright eyes, looked well–behaved, and even had eight–pack abs,
His name was Daniel Bean, and he had intended to apply for a job at the Campbell Group
But I fell in love with it at first sight.
I hired him to be a junior assistant in my company, to experience the joy of being a young male
assistant.
But I simply had no desire at all.
Later, it was understood that not everyone could resist the temptation of being young and beautiful.
People are fundamentally different from one another. I casually drank alcohol while listening to Daniel, who was helping me inquire about insider information.
He spoke about Strongford.
Bentley has been sending people everywhere to look for me since he found out that I left.
Although he had some fame in Strongford, nobody knew who he was once he left Strongford.
Not to mention trying to find me in Lightvale would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
