Chapter 16 Shattered Illusions
The taut string in Shen Le Yue's mind finally snapped.
She rushed forward and tore Xie Yi Heng's design drafts to pieces.
She screamed hysterically.
"At this point, why are you still pretending to be devoted?"
"Do you dare say that when you learned I was divorced, your heart didn't waver at all? Do you dare say you had no selfish motives when you made me your Assistant? Do you dare say you didn't miss the days when it was just the two of us while designing my new house!"
"I don't know why you suddenly changed your attitude, but you hesitated, didn't you?"
Her word-by-word accusations stabbed into his brain like needles.
Xie Yi Heng's head throbbed painfully. His stomach churned.
He couldn't stop himself from bending over and retching.
The wrist gripping the desk edge showed protruding bones, skin stretched thin over them.
His throat felt stuffed with cotton.
He couldn't vomit it out.
He couldn't swallow it down.
Even breathing felt like torture.
Xie Yi Heng slowly looked at Shen Le Yue.
"You're right. I did waver."
"But before I could even reflect on what I had done, she had already given up on me."
"I didn't even know when her love for me started to disappear."
"Do you know how terrified I was at that moment?"
Shen Le Yue had never seen him so broken.
She couldn't help feeling sorry for herself.
"So what if you can't let her go? Wen Yu is marrying your friend! You can't change that!"
Xie Yi Heng's eyes reddened with fury. He roared lowly.
"Gu Chao Nan is not my friend. He's a thief!"
"Wen Yu is mine. She came here for me!"
Shen Le Yue instinctively stepped back.
She thought Xie Yi Heng had gone mad.
