Chapter 19 As soon as she stepped out of the room , Jillian immediately saw the woman in the living room . She stared at the woman in shock , hardly able to believe it was Delilah . Delilah was kneeling and crawling on the floor , wearing a red dress , with most of her body exposed . On the exposed skin , bruises and purple marks crisscrossed , clearly left at different times . Her hair was loose and messy , draped over her shoulders , and several intersecting scars marred her cheeks , as if the wounds had not healed properly , with keloids forming on top . When she saw Jillian and Arthur , her pupils contracted sharply , and then she desperately crawled toward Arthur . Her eyes were filled with terror , her voice hoarse and unpleasant , begging desperately , repeating herself mechanically . " I'm sorry , I'm sorry , I'm sorry ... " Only then did Jillian notice that Delilah's legs had also been broken , making it impossible for her to walk normally . In a daze , she recalled the Delilah she had seen six months ago . At that time , Delilah was cherished by Arthur as if she were a treasure . She wore the latest high - end designer gown , and every detail from her hair to her toenails was meticulously groomed . Even though there was a scar on her cheek , Arthur had hired the best makeup artist to style her , and the artist always managed to minimize or conceal the scar on her face . The once dazzling , radiant woman now seemed to have been trampled into the mud , left in utter disgrace . Jillian watched her stiffly , while Arthur , standing to the side , waved his hand , and the bodyguards promptly seized Delilah and took her away . 0.00 % 08:23 Belilah somed texted , still screwing .

" Did I scare your Jillian's face turned pale , and she instinctively stepped back two paces . Arthur's eyes dimmed , but he quickly smiled again " Jill , you're still so kind . Delilah plotted to kidnap me and destroy our marriage . She made you lose your child , ruined your face , took everything from you , and forced you to live alone in a foreign country . Yet you still can't bring yourself to hurt her " Jillian shook her head . She was no saint and never thought Delilah shouldn't pay the price , but ... it should never have been this endless torment at Arthur's hands . The Arthur before her felt both unfamiliar and frightening , she could hardly recognize the man standing there . Arthur was stung by the look in her eyes , a flash of hurt passing through his own . " Jill , don't be afraid of me , please ? " Jillian looked at him but said nothing . A trace of gloom flickered in Arthur's eyes . He moved closer to her and suddenly snapped his fingers . Downstairs , several servants entered one after another , carrying jewelry boxes and pushing clothing racks . Arthur smiled as he pulled Jillian over , holding her affectionately in his arms and speaking softly by her car . " Honey , we never had the chance to hold a wedding before . I promised you I would give you the wedding of the century , " " Try on the wedding dresses and see which one you like best .

Yet , as she looked at the luxurious wedding dresses and jewelry downstairs- A trace of doubt appeared in Jillian's eyes . " Didn't you go bankrupt ? " Arthur chuckled lightly . " You don't need to worry . Even though the Johnson Group went bankrupt , the money I have left is more than enough to support you for a lifetime . " Jillian immediately guessed that Arthur was indeed very capable , otherwise , he couldn't have brought the Johnson Group to such heights in just a few years . He was probably just using the bankruptcy as a cover to investigate her whereabouts , in reality , the Johnson Group hadn't suffered much loss . She stared at the wedding dresses and jewelry below , with not a trace of joy in her eyes . " Arthur , what if I say I don't want to ? Will you treat me the same way you treated Delilah ? " Pain flashed in Arthur's eyes . " Of course I could never do that to you ! " Jillian gave a faint smile . " What's the difference ? Six months ago , weren't you about to marry Delilah , and didn't you ruin my face for her ? " Arthur was instantly speechless , overwhelmed by endless regret and pain . Even though Jillian refused to cooperate , she still couldn't stop the wedding from coming . Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
