Chapter 501 Five Years of Shadow

Maine asked curiously, “Why did you run away?”

Yunice said. “I found out babout /bNora’s existence. He got furious and tried to lock me up

“Why would he get furious?”

Yunice replied, “Because he’s afraid I’ll leave him”

Maine bwent /bsilent again for two seconds, then asked with aplicated expression, “Don’t byou /bwant to have him for yourself?”

Yunice said. “You guys might have misunderstood. Wyatt band /bI were forced into marriage. There was bnever /bbany /bemotional foundation”

Maine fell into another silence. She’d heard the rumors back then–how Jackson had set things up to force the marriage between Wyatt band /bYunice.

Everyone had pitied Wyatt at the time. No one expected he’d actually develop feelings for a discarded woman like Yunice.

But if Yunice didn’t like Wyatt–that was even better.

Maine raised an eyebrow. “If you want to get rid of him, why bother running? Just cheat on him.”

Yunice looked at her and replied quietly, “I just want to live with rity. I’m not looking to die.”

Maine let out a coldugh. “bAnd /byou think what you’re doing now isn’t suicidal?”

“You’re just a stand–in. If you don’t behave, he’ll find another one.”

You think you’re that special? ying this game of push and pull?

Yunice said nothing. She simply stopped the car in a grassy field with a beautiful view,

The weather was clear, the sky blue, with endless green grass and a river flowing in the distance.

Yunice got out of the car. “Tell me about Wyatt and Nora

Maine hobbled out, limping. “Wyatt and Nora were entangled for five years.”

Yunice’s heart skipped a beat.

Maine continued, “They met at a dinner party.”

“At the time, Nora was a pharma rep for Johnson Corp. Her boss pushed her forward to curry favor with Wyatt… No, let me put it inly–you might bnot /bget it otherwise Nora was offered to Wyatt. And Wyant epted

Yunice stared at Maine without niuch reaction. “When I got together with Wyatt, he hadn’t had sex before I’m a doctor–I can tell

bMaine /braised her brows. “You think that means you’ve won? Didn’t Wyatt tell you–Nora had trauma when it came to bsex/b?”

“She was nearly assaulted once. Ever since, bshe /bwas deeply resistant to that kind of thing. Wyatt didn’t want to trigger her, so he held himself back the whole time,”

Yunice’s gaze flickered, and Maine immediately noticed the subtle shift in her expression. With a satisfied smile, she stared at the red marks on Yunice’s neck and said, “When you love someone, you don’t want to hurt them. Wyatt only uses you to vent–because with you, he doesn’t have to care or feel guilt

Yunice didn’t reply. bShe /bwas thinking about her rtionship with

Wyatt

She thought of his aggression the night before–how he lost control with her. He knew she’d been assaulted before. He knew she had trauma, too. And still, he hadn’t hesitated.

Yunice looked up. She suddenly didn’t want to hear any more about Wyatt and Nora’s past. She asked,

Then why did Nora be a vegetable?

Maine chuckled. “What’s the rush? Didn’t you just say you had to feelings for Wyatt? I’ve barely said anything and you’re already getting impatient?”

She leisurely listed it out: “Wyatt once rented out an entire ind to watch the aurora with Nora. He crossed powerful investors and lost billions for her. Nora could take off her shoes in his office, sit on his files, and do things no other woman would dare.”

“Even after her ident, Wyatt went above and beyond for her family–whatever they needed. he delivered.

“Oh, right–you don’t know Nora’s family, do you? She’s from the Johnson family. Her brother is Morgan. Her grandmother is Mary.”

As Yunice’s pupils slowly widened, bMaine /bsmiled triumphantly.

Morgan bwas /ba notorious spoiled heir, and Wyatt had covered for him countless times. As for Mary–her rtionship with Wyatt was far from ordinary.

Yunice had always felt there was something strange about those connections. So this was the reason behind it all–it all came back to Nora.

If that was the case, Wyatt really did treat Nora differently.

At this point, Maine’s eyes turned red. Her voice rasped. They could’ve loved beach /bother forever. But then, bthree /byears ago, there was an ident”

“The steel nt exploded. Thousands of degrees of molten steel burst out like whips of t father gave his life to shut the valve and saved countless people. Nora threw herself in from block a flying chunk of iron.”

“She was too badly injured. The hospital dered she’d never wake up. Wyatt refused bto /bept it. He spent the next two years taking her to every doctor he could find–domestic and overseas. And back then? You

were strapped to an electric chair in the asylum.”

Maine knew exactly how to bstab /bwhere it hurt..

Comparisons always made things clear. With a reference point, love–orck of itwas obvious,

Yunice looked up. Just moments ago the sky had been cloudless and bright. Now, a heavy ck cloud was rolling in.
