A Matter of Wife and Love

Chapter 222

Elyse opened her eyes and saw John holding her mask, looking at her with disgust. Her face had scratches and bruises from the earlier fight she had with Rose, and her fair skin only made her wounds stand out even more.

He tossed the mask back to her. “Great. Now, my mood is spoiled.”

“Your mood is spoiled?” She held the mask and stared at the man in disbelief. I stooped to your level and gave myself to you, you bumpkin! Yet, you now complain about me spoiling your mood? I will not stand for this insult!

Her eyes went wide with anger, and she wanted to raise a hand against him.

John ignored her anger, however. He sneered and moved far away from her. Then, he took the teapot and drank straight from the spout. After that, he spat and fiddled with some marbles. “I’m not a trash collector. I don’t sleep with… ugly things.”

Elyse retracted her hand and touched her face.

Without further ado, he waved away at the bodyguards. “Toss her out.”

She never thought the day would come when an investor would toss her out. They used to beg her and even worship her. Damn it. They’re doing what they please just because of the breakup. Short-sighted *ssholes! Though, she had no one to rely on.
