Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 518 - 272: Damn It!

Chester released Alice’s hand forcefully and said coldly, "Alice, one cannot be so selfish. You chose Howard over me, so don’t expect me to be devoted to you like before."

Alice suddenly looked up at Chester’s indifferent face, choked up and said, "I like Howard, you’ve always known that..."

Since the first time she met Howard at sixteen, she has been wholeheartedly in love with him and never changed.

Chester’s face turned vicious, "But don’t forget, you belonged to me from beginning to end!!"

Alice accused with grievance, "You tricked me..."

Chester sneered, "In today’s society, is there really a sixteen-year-old woman who doesn’t understand matters between men and women? Besides, you could have left that night; I didn’t force you."

Alice spoke with bitterness, "I don’t care if you believe it or not, at that time, I really knew nothing. I just knew you were good to me..."

"And what about later?" Chester raised an eyebrow, "Don’t tell me that every time we slept together, you were ignorant."

Alice took a deep breath and nodded, "I admit, every time I felt helpless and lost, I’d wish you were by my side..."

Chester laughed out loud, "You only think of me when you need help. Alice, what role do I actually play in your heart? Big brother, lover, servant, or perhaps nothing at all?"

Alice hurried to Chester’s side, shaking her head vigorously, "No, it’s not like that... I yearn for us to be siblings again, for you to care for me like a big brother. I just... I just don’t want you to truly ignore me and start being good to other women."

Chester gazed into Alice’s sorrowful eyes, sighed gently, placed his hands on her slightly trembling shoulders, and said softly, "If the person you choose is Howard, then you and I are destined to only be siblings this life, and I... can’t possibly care only for you all my life; I also have someone else I need to take care of."

Alice rushed into Chester’s embrace, held him tightly, "Brother, actually that day I said those angry words because I saw the video of you with Rebecca Quentin. I never meant to threaten you..."

Chester remained unmoved.

Alice looked up at Chester pitifully and pleaded, "Please don’t ignore me..."

Chester finally lowered his gaze to look at Alice, his voice softened slightly, "When have I ever ignored you?"

Hearing this, tears streamed from Alice’s eyes.

Chester reached out to hold Alice in his arms, his gaze focused ahead, but his lips uttered gentle words, "Don’t say those angry words to me in the future..."

Alice looked at Chester with wide, pleading eyes, "If I’m with Howard, will you still protect me like before?" Actually, that time she had manipulated Mrs. Geoffrey to drug her so she could be with Howard, but was almost raped due to Howard’s scheme. If Chester hadn’t arrived in time, it would have been a disastrous day for her.

Chester’s face turned somber, indicating his difficulty in understanding, "You know how heartless he was to you, yet you still have such unwavering love for him?"

Alice quickly replied, "That was in the past... he used to only think about Rebecca Quentin, so he never paid any attention to me. But since Rebecca disappointed him, he has no feelings for her, and he even said with Rebecca there that I am the woman he cares most about now."

Chester’s lips curved into a smile at this moment. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Alice weakly asked, "Why are you smiling?"

Chester gently ruffled Alice’s hair, smiling and shaking his head, "It’s nothing... Your happiness is my greatest happiness in this life."

On the beach, Rebecca Quentin bore the soreness in her body and walked alone towards the road.

Behind her, Howard Geoffrey carried her bag and high-heeled shoes, following silently.

Rebecca, exhausted from being pushed to her limits by someone, staggered, leaving uneven footprints.

"Ah!"

Her bare foot suddenly hit a sharp pebble, and Rebecca cried out in pain.

The tall, upright figure behind her immediately rushed forward to support her, asking nervously, "What’s wrong? Are you okay?"

Rebecca reached out forcefully to push him away, "I don’t need you to care!!"

Howard stood in place, his gaze coldly fixed on her.

Rebecca continued to walk unsteadily, her disdain for the person behind clearly evident.
