Chapter 122
A deal with the devil
Chapter 122 âAre you sure?â Benjamin asked.
His sharp eyes locked onto hers as he said coldly, âShirley, Iâm giving you an opportunity right now. If you want to leave, I wonât stop you. Iâll return everything from Weiss Group to you.â
His words drained the color from Shirleyâs face. She struggled to respond. âA- are you saying you want a divorce?â
He replied, âIf thatâs what you want, we can go to the courthouse right now.â
Benjaminâs voice was calm and indifferent, devoid of any emotion, as if he were discussing someone elseâs affairs.
How could he say such things so casually?
âI donât want to. Benjamin, Iâm already your wife. Weâve shared such intimacy. How can you mention divorce so easily?
Sharley Ìs nose stung with suppressed emotion as she enunciated every word clearly and firmly, âIf I really didnât want backthen.
to let go of Sa of Samuel, I would have begged him g the Weiss family has gone through. From the moment I decided to marry you, I chose to forget him âBut I never mentioned a word to him about everything i completely.â
Benjamin showed no sign of sympathy or softening as he stared at her pale face. âIâll only give you this chance once. Think carefully before you answer me. stay or leave?â
âThereâs nothing to think about. I already said I wonât divorce you. What do I have to do to make you believe me?â Divorce?
Wouldnât that render all her efforts meaningless?
will you From the moment she chose to marry Benjamin, she had resolved to be a good wife. After they shared that intimacy, the thought of divorce never crossed her mind.
Shirley, I hate people who say one thing and do another. Iâm giving you the chance to choose now. Youâd better be sure of your answer.â
Benjamin picked up the remaining half of the photo, his gaze ley as he looked at her, âIf you choose to stay, then you must completely forget the past. If I find out youâve deceived me, you should know what the consequences are, tight?â
With that said, he tore the e photo into shreds in front of her and threw it into the trash, Shirleyâs hands clenched tightly, her delicate face drained of color.
She couldnât tell how much of Benjaminâs words were sincere and how much was a test. But she knew how terrifying the consequences of betraying him would be. He had once said that if she deceived him, he would destroy the Weiss family entirely, it wasnât just an empty threat.
After a long pause, Shirley finally spoke. âBenjamin, I wonât betray you. What Iâm afraid of is that you wonât trust me, After that, she stood up, her gaze steady and emotionless as she added, âDo you realize how hurtful your words just now were?
When will you truly treat me as your wife?â
With that, she picked up Damian and left, Benjaminâs expression darkened as he stared at the exquisite dishes on the t table, his thought unreadable.
After a moment, he stood and instructed his secretary to take the food away and throw it out.
The moment Shirley left Benjaminâs office, her back was drenched in sweat. For a fleeting moment, she was truly tempted.
But now, she felt relieved. She was certain Benjamin had been testing her just now.
Recalling his words sent a chill down Shirleyâs spine. She was glad she had resisted the temptation. Otherwise, she would have completely enraged this demon, and the consequences wouldâve been unimaginable.
On the way home, Danian noticed shirleyâs gloomy mood. He tugged at her sleeve and took up his drawing board. He wrote in Newlandian, âDaddy made Shirley unhappy. Donât cook for Daddy anymore.â
