Chapter 340
“I am referring to the matter you told me on WhatsApp last night about someone asking for your
help. Who is this person?”
“I’m not telling you that,” Eric dismissed firmly. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Suddenly, my face fell. So I changed tactics. “Do I know this person?”
Eric squinted at me as he replied with a half smile, “Yes.”
“Is a woman?”
“Sim.”
Could it really be Jolene? But why would she think to ask him for help? His mood changes like the
wind, and I don’t think he’s a person who gives in easily. So how could she be sure he would help her?
As I turned this over in my mind, Eric suddenly burst out laughing as he looked at me. “You usually
seem naive and stupid, so I really didn’t expect you to have the ability to set someone up.”
“Arm someone?” I looked at him in bewilderment.
“Don’t tell me you weren’t the one who set up your best friend’s brother?”
“Of course, it wasn’t me.”
“Don’t you think you should stop making a fool of yourself when things got to this point? If it wasn’t you,
why were you so anxious?”
Suddenly, my mind short-circuited. So he blatantly threatened me last night because he thought I was
the one who set Robin up. I laugh dryly. “This matter really has nothing to do with me. I don’t have time
to do such a thing. Turns out I knew about it, and you brought it with me, so I didn’t want the end result
to change.” He knows all about my broken marriage, so I don’t have to pretend. I can just be honest
with him.
I thought Eric would make fun of me like he has in the past, but to my surprise, he didn’t. Instead, he
seriously asked me, “Were you distressed when you heard everything?”
I never planned on telling a third person about my marriage falling apart other than Isabella, but when I
caught a glimpse of her earnest look, I blurted out, “Yes. I was so distressed that I once considered
committing suicide.”
Eric stopped abruptly, his eyes full of surprise and disbelief. “Do you love him that much?”
“No, I don’t love him!” I denied. Maybe I loved Carson Boyer, but when I found out that he cheated on
me with Jolene and even got her pregnant with his child, I couldn’t love him anymore. What’s more, a
lot of things happened after that. Every time I exposed his lies and deceptions, my love for him waned
a little. At the moment I am absolutely sure that I have no love for him. The only thing left is hate!
“You are lying. If you don’t love him, why would you be so distressed as to consider suicide?” Eric’s
voice was soft. “Only when someone loves another person deeply does someone consider suicide
when they discover they have been betrayed.”
“Perhaps the situation you speak of also exists, but in my case it had nothing to do with love. I was just
livid and hurt, feeling like my persistence back then was a joke. I felt like everyone in the world was
looking at me like I was a joke and looking down on me. I felt that life was hopeless, so I thought about
dying with him,” I explained.
“Then why don’t you get a divorce? Why are you indulging in such mis
