Billionaire’s Pampered Wife

“Sean, I would have already exposed your son’s whereabouts or even told Larry about it if I wanted to go against you. However, I didn’t do that.

Therefore, please don’t doubt my sincerity. I like her more than you think and I would never want to hurt her. I want to be together with her and protect her for the rest of my life.

“You should let her go if you really love her. Both of you aren’t really compatible with each other. Besides, I’m sure that you know her better than I do. She is not the kind of woman who is willing to support her man silently,” Haward explained to Sean confidently.

Sean gritted his teeth and paused for a moment. After that, he answered Haward, “How long have you known her? You two had only met half a year ago, whilst I have known her for more than fifteen years. Do you think that you could convince me that easily?”

“Love has nothing to do with how long you have known a person. It doesn’t even matter if I had known her for five days or five years. Some people would never get together even if they had known each other for their entire life, but I do believe that she is also interested in me. Could you please pass the phone to her?” Haward asked calmly.

Sean snickered as he heard Haward’s response.

“Dream on. She will not be using this number anymore! You can stop calling her from now on,” Sean said as he hung up the call furiously. He calmed himself down and turned to Eli.

Eli trembled as she felt the tension in the air. It felt as though Sean was about to kill her.

An immensely dark aura surrounded him as he approached her.

This was the first time she had ever seen Sean this angry. Eli was so frightened that she took a few steps back towards the door.

They were at his territory. Where else could she run and hide from Sean’s terror?

“Would you like to have some tea?” Eli looked around the room and asked tentatively.

Sean approached her slowly and stretched his hand out.

She turned her face away, thinking that Sean was about to hit her.

Sean placed his cold hands next to her head on the wall and stared right into her eyes, “Do you like Haward?”

“No, who told you that? Why would I like him? He’s such an old man,” Eli immediately denied.

Sean stared at her as he examined her expression carefully.

Eli furrowed her brows and tried to calm herself down. She was terrified by Sean’s furious demeanor.

Although she had a good impression of Haward, she was not in love with him. Technically, she was not lying.

“Why did you yell all of a sudden and expose me then?” Sean continued to ask.

“I… don’t know.” Eli tried to slip away from him.

However, Sean did not plan on letting her go. He grabbed her hand tightly and asked, “Are you sure? Do you really not know, or did you not want Haward to know about our relationship?”

Eli did not think of that at that moment. She just felt that it was embarrassing for Sean to say those things on the phone, hence she blurted those words out without even thinking twice about it.

“I don’t know,” Eli responded nervously.

Sean’s grip on her hands grew tighter. He was obviously unpleased with her answer. Eli felt as though her arm was going to be crushed.

“It hurts! Let go of me! Sean!”

“This pain will make you remember what you had just done,” Sean scolded her. “I don’t want you to have any contact with him ever again, not even through the phone. I will get you a new number when we get back. You are not allowed to use this number ever again.”

“Fine, it’s not as though I had the freedom and authority to choose from the very beginning anyway! Let go of me, my arm is breaking!” Eli winced as her face turned pale.

Sean let go of her and returned to his seat. All of a sudden, he grabbed his coffee and threw it on the floor.

Bang! A loud and ear-piercing sound echoed throughout the entire study room.

Eli was afraid of Sean. Was he having a severe case of mood swings? He was fine just a minute ago. Why did he get upset all of sudden?

She figured that it would be better for her to leave him alone for the time being. Sean’s feelings were completely unpredictable. He would kiss her when he was in a good mood, but he was fully capable of murdering her when he was furious. In that case, she wasn’t sure what Sean could do to her if she were to infuriate him further.

Sean became even more upset when he saw Eli at the door. He ordered coldly, “Clean up this area and get out.”

“I will leave now,” Eli said. She didn’t want to look at him anymore.

She exited the study room and closed the door without waiting for Sean’s reply. She noticed that Janet was standing by the door. Eli then said with a smile, “Mr. President accidentally dropped his coffee. Could you please clean it up? He excused me from the study room. I’ll be making my move now.”

Janet frowned. Sean’s room was made up of titanium alloy and soundproof materials. No one would be able to hear anything from outside.

Therefore, Janet didn’t know what had happened inside the study room.

Nonetheless, she didn’t like Eli as she felt that she was being too aloof.

Janet opened the door and saw the mess on the floor. She turned and noticed the furious expression on Sean’s face. It seemed as though it was the calm before the storm, a ticking time bomb before he finally explodes.

She didn’t dare to make any noises. Instead, she took a piece of cloth, kneeled on the ground, and began wiping the floor.

Sean clenched his fists and sat on his desk. He began to read but his attention was wavering because of the anger brewing in him.

He stood up and left the room…

Eli didn’t know where to go after leaving the study room. Hence, she entered the room next door.

It seemed to be a meeting room. She entered the room because it was empty and it had a couch in it. She decided to take a rest. She lay on the couch and stared at the ceiling.

Eli knew in her heart that she should have suppressed her emotions and keep a low-profile when she was around Sean. She also knew that she shouldn’t provoke him. However, it seemed that she just couldn’t control herself.

Her parents would always stand up for her in the past. However, she realized that she couldn’t act in such a childish manner anymore.NôvelDrama.Org content.

She was overwhelmed with sorrow and anguish as she closed her eyes to rest.

She swore that she would leave this place once she found her mother’s murderer and after the culprit was adequately punished by Sean.

Eli soon dozed off on the couch.

After a long while, she was startled by the loud noises of footsteps outside her room. However, she decided to fall back to sleep as she turned her body the other way.

At this moment, the sound of a door being pushed open could be heard, “Report, there’s no one here.”

She could hear the thundering voices of the soldiers, accompanied by the sounds of doors being opened and closed.

Eli stood up and took a peep outside the door. It seemed that they were searching for someone.

She thought that it was none of her business, hence she went back to sleep.

After a brief moment, the door was pushed open again. Three soldiers suddenly entered the room while two of them stood in front of her and said in excitement, “Report, we found her!”

She heard voices coming from outside the room. “We found her!”

Were they looking for her?

Eli stood up in confusion. Her face was flushed as a result of her long nap. Her voice croaked, “What happened?”

“Miss Wayne, we have been searching for you for the past three hours! Mr. President is furious right now!” one of the soldiers reported to her.

“Why were all of you looking for me? I have been sleeping here all this time,” she answered in a daze.

Sean entered the room shortly after with a dark and gloomy face. He then bellowed,  “Everyone, get out of the room this instant!”
