Chapter 85 You Were The One Who Seduced Me First!
Brandon was stunned for a moment when he heard my words. I had never raised my voice against him before or lost control of my emotions like this before. "You think I'm a stain on your life? Hollie, say that again!"
The grip on my wrist loosened for a split second, but the force returned almost immediately. My wrist hurt from the heavy grip.
I frowned in pain. I wanted to cry out in pain, but I didn't want to compromise today. I had always been weak in front of him, but I still had my dignity.
He was already thinking lowly of me. If I continued to compromise, it would just reinforce his impression of me.
"It's not going to change even if I repeat myself. Brandon Sutton, you're just s dirty stain in my life!"
I looked into his eyes coldly and repeated what I just said.
Tonight, I was completely irritated by this man. No matter how weak I was, this was the last straw!
He breathed heavily at my words. His fury was obvious.
"Hollie, you were the one who seduced me first. You seduced me for 200,000 dollars. Have you forgotten?"
Hearing this, my expression froze. It was true that I was the one who seduced him in the first place for 200,000 dollars.
Back then, in order to get 200,000 dollars for my father's surgery, I did whatever I could. I schemed against him, but all this was beyond my expectation.
Now I realised what a big mistake I had made. I should have opted to sell a kidney instead of seeking out this man!
Now, because he wanted to keep this improper relationship between us, I couldn't even live my life peacefully. This wasn't worth that 200,000 dollars.
"Brandon, can we stop this? I'm really tired now. Do you know how much pressure I have to bear now?"
I sighed and softened my attitude. "I'm just a woman. I need someone to support me. My father is in poor health and needs a large sum of money for medicine every month. It's really tiring for me to support a family alone. I beg you, please let me go, okay? I'll find a way to return the 200,000 dollars I owe you."
The only way I could think of to break off this relationship with Brandon was to return the 200,000 dollars he gave me. This way, my debt would be cleared and I would no longer be at his mercy.
I said this not because I wanted Brandon to pity me, but because I needed an outlet to vent my feelings.
Brandon looked at me blankly. When he heard my words, the expression on his handsome face became a little complicated.
He didn't continue to lash out at me, but I couldn't see through what he was thinking. I said that I would return the 200,000 dollars to him. He should be willing to let me go.
Brandon didn't say anything. He gradually let go of my hand and stared into my eyes with his dark and deep eyes.
I looked at him calmly, without a trace of panic. I had made my intentions clear just now. I could only hope that he can understand where I'm coming from.
Now that I was out of his restrain, I stood up. Even though I had finally got all my feelings out tonight, I didn't feel as relaxed as I thought I would be. In fact, I felt a little empty inside for some reason. Brandon gave me a deep look and turned to leave without saying a word.
I looked at his back blankly until the sound of the door slamming brought me back to reality.
Brandon left just like that. I had made it very clear tonight. From today on, the two of us should be over.
Now that we were done, I wouldn't have to feel so guilty when facing Dylan in the future. I could date him without any reservations.
With this thought, a faint smile appeared on my face. But why did I feel so sad in my heart? Was it because of Brandon?
I was shocked when this thought came into my mind. How could I believe that I had fallen in love with Brandon?
I must have just had a stroke!
I should only hate this man. How could I fall in love with him? I could never love him!
Lying alone on the big bed in the bedroom, I felt annoyed. The look in Brandon's eyes kept appearing in my mind.
I barely slept that night. When I came to work the next morning, I met Brandon at the front doors. I avoided him. I had already made it clear last night, so I didn't know how to face him.
Similarly, he just glanced at me indifferently and walked straight into his office without saying a word.
In the next few days, the two of us were like strangers. Although I still felt awkward every time we met, I was relieved that our relationship had ended. I wouldn't have to be worried all the time now.
One day, I was busy with work when my cell phone suddenly rang. When I saw it was my mother's calling me, I frowned slightly.
T
Nowadays, whenever I get calls from home, it was always either my parents urging me to get a boyfriend or asking me for money for my father's medication. I had developed a reflexive fear for calls from home
But even so, I still had to answer the call. I picked up my phone and answered the call. My mother's voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.
"Hollie. Are you now working?"
"Yeah, I haven't got off work yet. Mom, is something wrong?"
I responded lightly and went straight into the topic.
"It's nothing. I just wanted to ask what your boyfriend does. He seems to be rich."
As soon as my mother said this, I was stunned. I hadn't told them about Dylan yet. How did they know?
Moreover, even though Dylan wasn't poor, he wasn't exactly rich either.
"Mom, how did you know that? I haven't confirmed my relationship with him yet, so I wasn't planning to tell you yet."
I hesitated. I didn't know how to tell my mother about Dylan. My relationship with him was not yet confirmed. How did my mother know about this?
"Hollie, tell me the truth. Are you two at that stage already?"
My mother did not believe my explanation, but continued to ask.
"Mom, stop asking. We've just known each other for two months. How can we be at that stage?"
Hearing my mother's question, I was speechless. I wasn't even sure whether Dylan and I could be together, but my mother was so anxious.
"How can I not be anxious? How old are you now? You still don't have a suitable boyfriend!"
