Chapter 7

The whole night, the Slater Residence was ablaze with lights. Alyssa sat restlessly on the sofa, her nails deeply embedded in her palms, pinching a handful of blood. But she seemed not to feel it, staring straight at the wall clock. She watched the hour hand on the wall clock move from midnight to seven in the morning. At the moment the wall clock reported the time accurately, a hurried footstep came from outside the door, getting closer and closer. Enzo's eyes were pure black with a fierce look, making Alyssa's scalp tingle and a chill rose from the bottom of her feet and spread throughout her body. Enzo took the disciplinary scourge from the attendant and advanced on her with measured steps. "Alyssa, do you know that Nadine and the child in her belly would be gone." Child? Nadine is pregnant? After being extremely shocked, Alyssa immediately woke up. Yes, in the last life, she was also pregnant at this time. In this life, she pushed Nadine to Enzo as the antidote, so the one who got pregnant was naturally her. She had no time to think further, looking at Enzo who was willing to invoke family discipline against her just to vent his anger for Nadine, she suddenly reddened her eyes and tried to explain: "I didn't tamper with the wedding dress, and I never thought of hurting her. From kidnapping, to the mysterious love letter that appeared at the banquet, to today's wedding dress, don't you think all these things are suspicious? Even if I wanted to frame her, it would be impossible to do it again and again, and succeed every time." She originally thought that after saying these words, Enzo, who was always cautious, would also find all kinds of doubts in it. But he was completely swept away by anger, coldly said: "Your meaning is that Nadine has been framing you recently? I love her, and I married her. Why would she want to frame you for no reason." This is also what Alyssa doesn't understand, "I don't know..." She had just said half of the sentence, and a painful cry came out of her mouth, because Enzo's whip was raised high without knowing when, and it was lashed hard on her body. "Alyssa, you're being incorrigibly obstinate." Alyssa's face turned pale instantly, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her lips. Nadine is the cherished one who held his heart captive. How can she still have a glimmer of hope that he will believe her. She instinctively wants to escape. But the bodyguard behind her rushed forward and pressed her down to the ground. "Alyssa, do you admit your mistake!" As the whip fell again, Enzo snarled with icy fury. Alyssa was shaking all over with pain, but she held her hands tightly and refused to make a sound. Seeing that she did not answer, Enzo's whip fell hard on her back again! "I'll ask you again, do you admit your mistake!" But the girl on the ground closed her lips tightly and refused to speak. She didn't make a mistake! Why should she admit it! Enzo saw that she was so stubborn, and he was really angry. The whip in his hand fell on her back again and again. Soon Alyssa's entire back became bloody and blurred, but she still refused to admit her mistake. Finally, Andrew, the steward, intervened with compassion and stepped forward to hold the whip in Enzo's hand. "Sir, if you continue to beat like this, it could be fatal..." Enzo finally stopped, and coldly threw the whip away. "Alyssa, there must not be a next time!" Alyssa finally couldn't stand it, and her head fell to the ground, completely losing consciousness. For several days after that, Enzo did not come home, and Alyssa was beaten bloody and hurt so much that she couldn't get out of bed. She lay in bed for several days before she could finally get up and walk. On the day she recovered from her injuries, the Embassy notified her that the permanent residence procedures had been completed. Now that the permanent residence permit is in hand, Alyssa has no reason to stay in the Slater family. After getting the certificate, she came back to pack up the last bit of luggage and prepared to leave with her suitcase. But unexpectedly, as soon as she went out, she happened to run into Enzo who just came back. Before Alyssa could react, Enzo coldly said: "Alyssa, how old are you, still playing this childish elopement charade! I have told you many times, don't have that kind of thoughts about me, but you are stubborn, repeatedly harming Nadine, I punish you, did I punish you wrong?" After hearing his words, Alyssa only felt tired. She didn't know how many times she had to say that she really didn't like him anymore, and he would believe it. Seeing that Alyssa was silent, Enzo's face became more and more gloomy, and finally he pressed his forehead. "Never mind, it's good for you to go out for a change of scenery. Recently, Nadine's fetus is unstable, and I am busy preparing for the wedding. If you stay here, you may do something to her." After saying that, he took Alyssa's luggage. "I will send you to the airport personally!" Alyssa couldn't refute it, nor could she explain it. She just followed him silently. The car raced all the way to the airport terminal building. Until Alyssa quietly picked up her luggage and prepared to get off the car, he finally asked: "Where did you buy the ticket to go?" Alyssa's thin lips moved slightly, and before she could speak, she heard him say coldly: "Just play around in nearby cities, don't run too far. After Nadine and I finish the wedding, I will pick you up again." This time, Alyssa didn't say anything, but obediently said: "I know." After saying goodbye, she picked up her luggage and walked into the airport under his watchful eyes. Until she saw his back disappear in the car, she took out her mobile phone and silently blocked all of Enzo's numbers, and then walked into the boarding gate without hesitation. Pick her up? No need, Enzo. She will never come back again.
