Talented Wife 61
"Barbara! If you don't clarify, get out of the Sutton family. I won't provide you with any resources from now on."
Johnny's voice was ruthless, with no hint of joking.
Barbara was filled with resentment. Why did Johnny change so much when facing Alina? It seemed like he was siding with her entirely!
Why did he protect Alina so much? What did Alina have that was so good?
And now, just for Alina, Johnny wanted to kick Barbara out!
Barbara had always been adaptable, or she wouldn't have come this far.
She nodded, crying even more. "Don't make me leave. I'll apologize and clarify. Is that okay?"
"I... I... Barbara covered her heart and seemed to be convulsing, almost fainting.
"Barbara?" Johnny thought Barbara's illness had flared up again. She had always had poor health. "Call a doctor!" he said to the butler.
"Wait Alina stopped him and said, "I can handle this minor ailment. There's no need to trouble a doctor."
Despite the apparent stillness, Barbara's eyes betrayed subtle movements that caught Alina's attention. The combination of this peculiar behavior and the earlier breathless act struck Alina as disingenuous. It seemed unlikely that someone on the verge of fainting would exhibit such controlled and calculated movements.
As Johnny observed the scene unfolding before him, memories of Alina tending to his wounds in the past resurfaced. The recollection sparked a question in his mind. Could Alina possess medical skills?
With determined resolve, Alina swiftly made her way to the kitchen, her purpose clear. Moments later, she emerged, gripping a knife firmly in her hand.
Johnny watched her actions, a mixture of curiosity and uncertainty playing across his face. While he couldn't decipher her intentions, he didn't intervene, silently observing the unfolding events.
Confusion gnawed at Johnny's thoughts. This was supposed to be Alina's first time in this place, yet her familiarity with the surroundings left him perplexed.
How did she know where the kitchen was located?
When Alina walked over just now, she didn't hesitate, as if it wasn't her first time coming here.
As Alina approached the scene, Johnny's doubts multiplied. He witnessed her firmly grasping Barbara's chin, her actions assertive and unyielding. A sharp slap reverberated through the room in the next instant, striking Barbara's other cheek with force.
Alina's ruthlessness was unmistakable, leaving both sides of Barbara's face flushed and stinging from the impact. It was evident that Barbara would bear the marks of this encounter, her face likely to be swollen and tender tomorrow.
Barbara was in pain, wanting to grimace. But now, she had pretended to faint to avoid apologizing and clarifying. So she
wouldn't be awake now
Every time Johnny pressured her, she would pretend to faint, and every time she wanted to see Johnny, she would pretend to faint as well it had always worked.
But this time, she had miscalculated!
1000, 45%
While hitting, Alina babbled, "This is to awaken the patient's nerve consciousness with pain. Mr. Sutton, your knife looks very sharp. It should be able to pierce through this thick skin. I'll make two cuts on her face. This will be considered settling today's matter. Do you have any objections?"
Barbara was shocked. Alina was indeed a venomous woman. She wanted to scar Barbara's face even though she had fainted!
Alina must be jealous of her beauty, and ruining her face would destroy any chance of marrying Johnny.
Now, all Barbara could plead for was Johnny. Johnny would never let Alina do this!
Even if there was no love between her and johnny, there was still some affection.
Seeing that Johnny kept silent, Alina continued, "Mr. Sutton, are you hesitating?"
"This is her fault. If you can find relief this way, then please go ahead." Johnny's voice was cold and heartless.
Barbara had to solve the trouble she caused herself.
He had helped Barbara clean up too many messes. It wasn't possible for him to help every time.
"Are you always so cruel to your women?" Alina smiled at him.
However, her smile carried a chilling mockery
Back then, Johnny had been just as cruel to her.
Despair filled her eyes. Johnny's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.
Alina's
eyes were indeed similar to those of that foolish woman.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
