Chapter 19 ER 1441 " Ha ... " Everett grabbed her neck tightly with his other hand . The veins on his forehead , neck , and the backs of his hands stood out , looking fierce . It seemed like they were about to burst through his skin any second . He wished he could just strangle her right then . " Emily , how could you ! " he kept yelling , tears falling nonstop . Some hit the floor , some landed on Emily's arm , burning her and making her tremble . Everett could clearly feel her rapid pulse under his finger and saw her face turning pale from suffocation . He could even feel that pain Emily had , the kind where she couldn't break free and was about to suffocate to death . Just when Emily thought he might choke her to death , the grip on her neck loosened , fresh air rushed into her lungs , and she started coughing hard . Emily took a while to recover , and her eyes only started to focus again after a bit , letting her see the room clearly . Everett's back was against the wall , his shoulders heaving hard . There were still wet tears on his face . " Bang ! " He punched the wall . Blood trickled down the off - white wallpaper . For a moment , the quiet room only had the sound of their breathing . Emily used her other hand to rub her aching wrist . Her fair , jade - like wrist had a red mark from being squeezed . It looked pretty shocking . She looked at Everett and spoke slowly : " It was my fault for treating you 00:38 Chapter 19 as a substitute , but in those three years of marriage , weren't you hurting me little by little too . " " I needed someone like Lio to cling to and survive , and you needed a perfect , generous wife who would never interfere in your life . " " We just took what we needed from each other . " She didn't feel guilty because Everett looked like that . During those three years , she really treated him well , but he actually hurt her for real . So , she didn't owe Everett anything . www Everett still kept the same position , didn't move , and his left hand was still shaking . Blood from the wound on the back of his hand dripped through his fingers onto the expensive carpet . الحمد الله الله " Now everything's torn apart , and you've vented enough . If there's nothing else , we don't need to see each other again . " After saying that , Emily wanted to leave . But then Everett's voice came from behind : " No need to say goodbye ? " He let out a low laugh , " I'm afraid not . " " Emily froze and snapped her head back . " What do you mean ... Hadn't finished speaking , just felt a wave of dizziness . The lights shattered into fireflies , bursting into a blinding white on her retina . In her last bit of consciousness , a pair of big hands caught her steadily . Emily opened her eyes again and found herself in a moving car . The neon lights outside the window were getting fewer , and the shelterbelt along the highway was flashing by . It was obviously heading out of Beijing . Everett in the front row had one hand on the wheel and the other hand answering the phone . 24 48 00:38 Chapter 19 " Pulled Elliott over to Chicago . " " Is the house ready ? " " Okay , thanks . " After he hung up the phone , he looked at her through the rearview mirror , a slight smile on his lips : " My so - called brother really cared about you . " Everett tapped the steering wheel absentmindedly with his finger : " He went as far as risking being called out for abusing his power just to find you , even dared to start the city lockdown plan . " Emily wanted to talk , but she didn't have the strength . Her arms and legs were so weak that she could only lean on the seat . She glared at Everett angrily , but her watery almond eyes turned a bit red from anger , which actually made her look a little like she was pouting . th Everett's heart suddenly softened for no reason , he pressed his tongue against his back teeth and clicked his tongue . " If you hadn't been so good at pretending back then . " " Didn't fake being gentle , didn't fake being generous , maybe I would've been hooked by your fierce look a long time ago . " He sighed , " Maybe we already became real husband and wife , maybe we even had a kid . " You're crazy ! Emily was really grossed out by what he said . *** Emily didn't remember how many times Everett changed buses with her , or how many cities they switched . 51 34 % 00:38 Chapter 19 The first few times they changed cars , Everett held her hand to help her get out . Later on , every time they switched cars , her eyes were covered with a black cloth , and Everett carried her out each time . On the fifth day , the car stopped at a villa . Someone was reporting something to Everett . Emily pushed open the car door and ran back . Everett caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye , his lips curling up lazily , but he didn't do anything . The butler next to him was reporting nervously , quietly wiping away some sweat , scared that something might make him unhappy . " The house was pretty good , the money was sent over . " Everett didn't even look up , just swiped his finger on the mobile banking screen . The butler immediately put on a fawning smile and said a few lucky things about moving into the new house . 70 That line , " This yard ' gathers wind and energy , with all water flowing to the hall , ' is the best for bringing luck to your descendants - you and Mrs. Barnes will definitely have lots of kids and a big family in the future ... " made Everett really happy , and he gave him a generous tip . Guan Jia went down happily and , as he passed by , saw a woman being " invited " back by a bunch of bodyguards . That woman , with red lips and fair skin , had a stunning and charming face , and she was glaring at Everett . She was obviously the one Everett just called his wife . The butler paused , but still left . The business of rich people wasn't something a small guy like him could get involved in .
