Chapter 3

"Damn it, you dare to fight with a customer and still dare to come back to work? I'm paying you a salary and still have to support you?"

"Get out!"

I fell to the ground, with multiple abrasions on my body.

I twisted and unable to get up in pain.

I didn't expect Steven to rush to me at this moment.

A black card was thrown in the face of the security guard.

"I bought this bar, so all of you get out of here!"

Steven bent down and picked me up, as if he was holding a treasure.

His gaze made me pause for breath.

Looking at the card in the security guard's hand, I timidly said.

"That card... can you not waste it here?"

I told him about my mother's illness, and he immediately took me to the car. The driver quickly arrived at the hospital.

Coincidentally, I saw my mother was sent into the operating room.

I finally raised enough money for the surgery and paid off the previous debt.

But this time, my mother couldn't come out of the operating room.

I completely lost the only relative in this world.

When dealing with my mother's affairs, Steven has been by my side.

At that moment, I could show my vulnerability to him.

My tears wet his first shirt worth 500 dollars.

But he smiled and said jokingly, 'It's okay, I'll buy you a bunch of shirts worth 500 dollars in the future to wipe your tears.'

His nonsense made me laugh.

The knocking on the door outside the hotel pulled me out of my memories.

I shouted loudly, "No room service!"

This was finally quiet again.

I didn't sleep all night, and there were two big dark circles under my eyes.

After tidying up a bit, when I was ready to leave the hotel, I met Steven and Lara coming in.

When Steven saw me, he frowned.

"I thought you really left, but it turns out you were secretly following me?"

The man in front of me had only indifferent expression on his face, and I couldn't find a trace of three years ago.

Lara affectionately linked her arm with his and handed him the coffee.

"Mr. Lee, don't you understand? This just shows that Janice really loves you. Girls are like this, they just get angry and want you to coax them."

I hadn't slept all night, I didn't even have the strength to speak, now I just wanted to eat something to replenish my energy.

I originally wanted to leave directly, but Steven's expression darkened after hearing her words.

"She wants me to coax her? Don't I have to go to work? What am I working so hard for every day?"

Lara looked at me with a hint of pride in her gaze, but her tone was a bit annoyed.

"Janice, Mr. Lee has been quite busy recently. You should learn to be considerate a little bit. Don't make trouble, okay?"

I ignored Lara directly and looked straight at Steven.

"If I remember correctly, you tried to be a member of the Lee family for your own aim at the beginning, right? When we first met, wasn't that your goal? What does it have to do with me? Can't you just relax without me?"

"Is it tiring to coax me? I remember that it seems like I've been coaxing you for the past three years? Now that I want a divorce, isn't it perfect for you? You can relax from now on."

The anger in Steven's gaze was about to burst out.

I had a cold expression and calmly said,

"Don't think too much, our marriage was just a coincidence."

"When I say divorce, it means divorce. I'm not interested in playing hard to get."

After speaking, I didn't look at them and walked out of the hotel.

Steven was so angry that he clenched his teeth and turned around to chase after.

But he was stopped by Lara, who grabbed his arm.

"Mr. Lee, the partner has been waiting for a long time..."

After saying that, Steven took out his phone and called me.

"Janice, my mother came all the way from the old house to see you today. She brought traditional Chinese medicine for you. You must come back with me. Today is not a day for you to mess around!"

I thought he had come to his senses and was going to sign, but I didn't expect him to actually order me to go home.

I curled up the corner of my lips.

Well, it was time for his mother to know how that child really died!

And I would tell her what kind of wealth and luxury did I gain in the Lee family in these two years!

"Got it."

After agreeing, I hung up immediately and went to the mall for shopping after breakfast.

Before, in order to be a good daughter-in-law of the Lee family, I couldn't dress according to my own preferences.

I couldn't eat according to my own preferences.

I couldn't be myself.

That was enough!

I used Steven's card for shopping, but I thought this was the spiritual damage fee I deserved.

Steven saw the payment record and sent me a message.

[Are you feeling better? Remember to come home early, mom is waiting for you.]

Looking at him calling her mom, someone who didn't know their relationship would thought they got along well with each other.

It seems that he has forgotten how hard he tried to please them when he first entered the Lee family.

He was no longer Steven that I met three years ago.

Now, the only one alive was the heir of the Lee family.

When I stepped into the house, a heavy ashtray came flying towards me.

I quickly dodged and the object landed on the ground with a dull sound.

"You still know how to come home? Why didn't you die outside!"

Mrs. Lee's tone was cold and her delicate and sharp face was filled with resentment.

"You're not dead yet, so I should die later than you."

Just at this moment, Steven happened to come in and when he heard my words, he raised his hand and was about to slap me.

"Hit! Hit me right here, where I have been with you for three years! Hit me right here, where I lost a child for the Lee family!"

"Hit right in front of the culprit who killed my child! Steven, hit me!"
