When she left, He went crazy

Chapter 57 Unlawful Imprisonment

The next day, when the servant blocked me at the entrance of Valence Manor, not allowing me to leave, I had understood Christopher’s intentions.

He just informed me of his decision last night.

I knew it was Christopher’s idea, unrelated to the servant, so I just patiently asked, “Where is Christopher?”

“Mr. Valence went out before dawn.”

“Is Barry back yet?” I asked.

“Not yet; Barry is arranging Mr. Valence’s funeral.”

I spoke softly, “What if I had to go out right now?”

“Mrs. Valence, you won’t be able to leave.”

The servant pointed to the several black-clad bodyguards standing outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window.

I couldn’t help but stare in astonishment.

Three years passed, and Christopher was as hypocritical as ever before.

He clearly told me to stay only one night, but then he wouldn’t let me go out.

There was a moment when I even thought that he might not have been the same young man who used to kindly take me to the school clinic, carefully consider my self-esteem, and try his best to invite me to dinner.

In eight years, it was enough to change his character.

was

In the morning, I received a lot of messages, most of which were comforting me after hearing the news of Bentley’s

passing.

Elissa and Cecil formed a huge contrast.

Elissa sent me many messages, but Cecil’s message was simple.

Cecil: Hope, don’t be too sad, take care of yourself]

However, I could feel their care for me.,

Apart from Elissa, Cecil was the only one who asked me to take care of my own body, while more people wanted to use Bentley’s death to get closer to the Valence family.

Temporarily, I only replied to their messages and then called Christopher.

However, the call was not answered by him personally.

Donald respectfully said, “Mrs. Valence, there’s an issue at the overseas branch. Mr. Valence is currently in an emergency meeting. I will inform him as soon as he finishes.”

“Never mind.”

1 closed my eyes and said, “Forget it.”

Bentley passed away; the group was bound to be thrown into turmoil.

Christopher was busy at the time; he didn’t have time for me.

I dialed another number. “Hello, is this the Jacquar Police Department? Someone has illegally detained me.”

When the police arrived, Christopher’s car also arrived at the same time.

Christopher got t out of the car with a sullen look on his face and dismissed the policeman with a few words.

Then he strode up to me, his eyes bloodshot from a sleepless night, exuding an even stronger sense of oppression. “You want to leave me so bad?”

I nodded without hesitation. “That’s right.”

I didn’t want to get trapped in a marriage that could break apart at any moment.

I also couldn’t accept that my husband loved someone else.

He couldn’t help but sneer. What if I just don’t go along with what you want?”

“Why do you have to do it this way?”

I just felt utterly exhausted. “Doing this will only make me look down on you.”

“I don’t care.”

He suddenly raised his voice, exuding a sense of paranoia and aggression. “As long as my wife is you, fulfilling Grandpa’s wishes is all that matters.”

was frightened back by him. “Christopher……

Noticing the tremble in my voice, he seemed to calm down, gently placing his hand on the top of my head and softly saying, “Hope we can start over; please trust me.”

“I said it last night; it was impossible.”

I looked at him in despair and made an almost impossible request. “Christopher, could you cut off all contact with Evelyn? If you never see her again, I might consider your proposal.”

He must not have been able to do it.

But what surprised me was his instant agreement with a simple word. “Sure.”

Chapter 57 Unlawful Imprisonment.

I didn’t know what to say for a moment; he seemed to have lost his mind.

It might have been Bentley who passed away that impacted him greatly, but he would recover once he got over it.

He was afraid that I would call the police again, so he decided not to go to the company and just had a video.

conference in the study.

I was guarded by him, sitting in the yard all afternoon.

The funeral of Bentley was held the next day, with a sad and bleak atmosphere.

Outside, a fine drizzle fell, sending shivers down one’s spine.

I also attended the Valence Manor, followed by Christopher’s side, being led by him like a puppet, welcoming the guests who came to pay their respects.

He had had a bad temper these last two days; it was more like he was showing his true nature than he had changed.

He didn’t give me a chance to resist.

I told him again last night that Bentley had not asked us on his deathbed not to divorce, just not allowed Evelyn to marry him.

He didn’t believe it.

He said I lied to him.

And I was too tired to argue with him.

At the beginning of the funeral, I was wearing a black wool overcoat, standing quietly on the side, listening to people recounting Bentley’s life.

Eighty years of life, all summarized so effortlessly in the end.

Two days ago, the person who had been laughing at me was now a tombstone.

“Grandpa!”

Evelyn suddenly appeared and knelt before the gravestone with tears on her face. ‘Grandpa, how did you die so suddenly?”

Without waiting for Christopher to react, I turned my head and instructed. “Barry, take her away.”

The person Bentley least wanted to see was Evelyn.

Evelyn heard, got up from the ground, and demanded of me. “What makes you think you have the right to drive me away?”

“You make the decision.

Evelyn, taking advantage of Christophers usual indulgence towards her, started to act a bit petulant even in this situation, pointing her finger at me. “She wont be your wife soon. It’s her who should leave.”

Christopher gazed deeply, answering solemnly, “She will always be my wife.”
