Chapter 1 Pleading

Three years ago, Sally was forced to leave Anders. This made Anders think she was like other women, vain and unfaithful. Anders hated her and did everything he could to get back at her. Three years later, Sally came to Anders to save her child’s life, but he humiliated her in every way possible. No matter how she explained, Anders wouldn’t believe her. Eventually, she got tired and quietly disappeared from his life. When Anders learned the truth, he went crazy and begged her to come back! 001 Night fell, and the cold weather left few people on the streets. Sally tightened her thin coat around her, braving the biting wind as she slowly walked towards a mansion not far away. After a while, she finally stood at the front door of the villa. Thinking of her child still in the hospital, Sally gathered her courage and knocked on the door. Once, twice… There was no response inside. Sally didn’t give up. She knocked harder and started to cry out, “Anders, Anders! Please open the door! I have something very important to tell you!” The door remained still. Just as Sally was about to vent her sadness and frustration, the door suddenly opened! Sally’s eyes lit up immediately! The one who opened the door was Anders’ butler, Barlow. Barlow looked at the beautiful but very haggard woman in front of him with some pity and said coldly, “Go back. The master doesn’t want to see you.” Sally looked at him in disbelief. Barlow wanted to close the door, but seeing Sally’s pitiful look, he softened. Barlow first sent a few messages on his phone. After a while, he stepped aside and said, “You can go in. The master is in the study.” Sally wiped her tears and stumbled inside. She had been to this villa a few times, so she easily found the study. The study door was open. Sally knocked on the door first, and soon a deep voice came from inside, “Come in.” Sally walked in with tears in her eyes. Seeing the chair turned away from her, she cried out, “Anders, please, lend me 400,000! Andy is very sick, and he needs money for treatment!” The atmosphere in the study instantly dropped to freezing point. Just as Sally couldn’t help but plead again, a mocking laugh suddenly echoed in the quiet study. Sally was stunned. The chair slowly turned around. Anders’ sharp, handsome face soon appeared in Sally’s view. Looking at the man she had loved for years, Sally couldn’t bring herself to hate him. But because of various misunderstandings, it was unlikely they could reconcile in this life. How sad. Sally considered herself a person with strong self-esteem. If it weren’t for Andy, if it weren’t for Andy… Hot tears quickly fell from her eyes again. For her son’s sake, she had long thrown her dignity away. Anders raised an eyebrow at the woman standing in front of him. “I spared that bastard’s life, which is already giving you face. What? You dare to come here and ask for money to save him?” Anders said coldly. The word “bastard” obviously touched Sally’s sensitive nerves. Choking with sobs, she said, “Anders, Andy is really your son… If you don’t believe it, you can do a paternity test…” Anders was stunned for a few seconds, then laughed without restraint. “Hahaha…” Anders laughed enough, then squinted his eyes and said with disgust, “Sally, can you not be so cheap? This just makes me look down on you even more.” Thinking about what happened three years ago, Anders became irritated. Three years ago, he was a poor boy with nothing. He thought Sally was different from other women, but she turned out to be just as money-minded. Sally left him to marry Victor and become a rich wife, and even aborted their child. That child was supposed to be the fruit of their love, but it was gone. Every time he thought about it, Anders felt heartache. And worse was yet to come. It seemed Sally even hired someone to run over him and break his leg to eliminate future troubles! He had never seen such a shameless woman! “If the child is sick, go find Victor. Didn’t you love him to death? Hmm? What? At this time, you don’t want to ask him for help?” Anders’ face was full of sarcasm. “Anders, please…” Sally’s health was already poor. Her legs gave way, and she fell to the ground. “I know you mind what happened before, right?” Sally explained tearfully, “Anders, I never wanted to leave you. It was Victor and Mary…” Hearing Sally mention Mary, Anders’ face filled with rage, “Enough! What right do you have to mention Mary? You’re not worthy!” Sally looked at him in disbelief. Seeing her silence, Anders was even more convinced of his suspicion. He said, “You’re still trying to excuse yourself! Mary is so kind, she even pleaded for you before. But you? Even now, you want to smear her! You are so vicious!” Sally’s heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. “Anders, I never wanted to deceive you!” Sally cried and explained, “It was Mary causing trouble behind the scenes. She threatened me with grandma’s life to leave you… Even grandma’s death was her doing, sob…” Anders finally lost his patience. He came straight to Sally and grabbed her fragile neck fiercely. Sally was caught off guard, her pretty and haggard face turned red. Just as Sally was about to pass out, Anders finally showed mercy and let go of her. “Ahem, ahem…” Sally collapsed on the ground, coughing violently! Anders stood over her, looking down as if he was looking at disgusting garbage. “Ahem… Anders, ahem… Please, lend me 400,000… I will pay you back. As long as you lend it to me, I’ll do anything…” Sally was utterly humble. “No.” Anders turned coldly. Sally looked at the cold and unfeeling man in front of her, and the sadness in her heart grew even more. At this moment, her phone rang. Sally answered, and the person on the other end said, “Miss Sally, your son’s condition is worsening. Are you going to proceed with the surgery?” Sally’s mind went blank. At this moment, she couldn’t care about borrowing money anymore. She staggered to her feet and ran out. Anders frowned as he watched her leave. What on earth is this woman up to? Sally hurriedly left the villa and took a taxi to the hospital. Half an hour later, she finally arrived at the hospital. Sally rushed to Andy’s ward, but she saw an unexpected person there. The glamorous Mary was sitting by Andy’s bed, smiling as she fed him fruit.
