Chapter 32 Heartbeat
Jeremy was so considerate that he had the surveillance video brought in. Now, it was easy for Fiona to
know what was happening outside.
She saw that Rita's parents helped her with water and reached out to block the sun for her, but she
was still complaining that her parents were not capable.
After seeing this, she gritted her teeth. This apology was not sincere at all.
She simply turned off the computer. Out of sight, out of mind.
"Still angry?"
"I'm not angry. I'm just curious why I was kept in the dark for so many years and didn't pay attention to
Rita at all." She was so stupid.
Perhaps at the very beginning, Rita knew her well. She knew she was lack of warmth, so she had given
her warmth intentionally. As time went by, she had been accustomed to her and got close to her.
Habits were something frightening. For example, right now, she would peep at Jeremy secretly and
observe his actions, fearing that he would stand on the other side and abandon her.
Jeremy took a look at his expensive watch and answered, "Almost done."
"What?"
Before Fiona could respond, Jeremy pulled her out of the room. They heard the complaints from Rita to
her parents.
"Dad, are you capable or not? You promised me that I would be fine, but what about now? "
Patting his chest, Johnson explained in a hurry, "Rita, don't worry. I have promised you. I will never go
back on my words. Trust me."
Rita had had enough of him. She asked impatiently, "Believe you? Look at you. Jeremy doesn't want to
see you. You said before that the Fu family would definitely let him marry me, but you didn't keep your
promise! "
"Rita..."
"What's the use of you? It's better to die. "
Rita continued to accuse them. Her parents trembled with fear, not daring to talk back at all.
Her parents, who should have been filial to her, lowered their heads in front of her.
"Okay, I'm leaving. You can keep waiting. I might as well depend on myself."
The moment she turned around, she heard the sound of someone coming out from behind. Was it
Jeremy who would come out to meet them?
There was a pleasant surprise on her face. She trotted over, but was dodged by Jeremy. She
staggered and fell to the ground awkwardly.
"Jeremy."
With a straight face, Jeremy looked down at her and said, "Since you don't really want to apologize,
please leave now. As for your hooligan insulting my wife, I will pursue it to the end."
"Not me!"
"I believe in evidence, not anything else."
Seeing Fiona sympathizing with the parents of Rita, Jeremy thought her as a fool. They just
sympathized with their own daughter, but why was she sympathizing with them?
He would let her know whether those people were worth it or not.
She had known the answer by now.
As he expected, Fiona replied without hesitation, "Yes, I won't forgive you. Rita, you must go to jail."
She had been touched by her parents a moment ago, but Rita becoming a monster definitely had
something to do with her parents. She must have been blind to sympathize with her parents.
Wearing a ferocious face, Rita pointed her sharp fingertips at her. "Fiona, why did you do this to me? I
didn't do it. "
"If you shout louder, do you think I will forgive you? Nice try. "
"You will be abandoned one day."
Because Jeremy was destined to be hers, which could not be someone else's, not to mention Fiona.
"Oh, really? Looks like you're quite confident in yourself. You always boast about your beauty and your
good family background, don't you?"
Her parents didn't dare to let her continue talking. They took her away at once.
The three of them returned home in a hurry. Before they could say anything, several people broke in
and choked Rita. Her parents were shocked. They calmed down and pleaded, "No matter how much
money you want, we will give it to you. Please let my daughter go."
"Let her go? Can you help me release my brother from prison? "
Rita's parents had guessed who these people were. Johnson was sweaty all over. He immediately
found some money and gave it to all of them. "Take the money, enough for you to spend for your whole
life. Release my daughter."
"Okay, let her go."
Rita let out a terrible scream. Johnson saw that his daughter's face was scratched.
"Be careful if you dare to call the police."
"We dare not, we dare not!" The middle-aged couple bowed and nodded, flinching.
Shouted Rita. She could feel the sting on her face, but she dared not touch the wound as if her hands Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
were forbidden to move.
Her face... When the cut was finished, she was painful. The cell seemed to stop breathing and she was
disfigured.
She cried hysterically, tears sliding down to the wound, it was very painful.
Almost blind with tears, she asked her parents in panic, "What's wrong with my face? Tell me, it was
just a dream! "
"Don't be afraid, my dear. It's just a dream."
"Nothing will happen to my face, will it?" Her face and family background were what she was proud of.
She wanted to look beautiful.
"The ambulance is coming."
When she heard the ambulance's voice, Rita shrank to the corner. She didn't want to go to the hospital.
Now she had become notorious. If she went to the hospital, she would certainly be laughed at on the
Internet again and she couldn't lose her face.
She held Johnson' hands and begged, "Take me out of here, okay? I don't want to stay here any
longer, or I will go crazy. "
"Okay, okay. Rita. Wherever you want to go, we'll take you with us."

No one had ever thought that the Xia family would leave the city overnight. Fiona couldn't do anything
about it either. The police were working hard on it, but the Xia family was cut off completely from the
responsibility. It seemed that there was a pair of invisible big hands behind the scenes.
Recently, Jeremy was not busy at all. He played games at home from time to time.
Did it have anything to do with Jeremy?
She was confused.
She tilted her head and looked carefully at the man's fingers which were swiftly operating. They were
so slender.
"Do you want to play?" Jeremy knew that she had been staring at him for a long time and he enjoyed it
very much.
"Does it have anything to do with you that the Xia family disappeared?"
"I've only pushed them a little. As for leaving, they should have thought about it carefully." Jeremy didn't
intend to hide it from her, and said, "If you want to know something, just ask me at any time. I don't
want any suspicion between us."
He was so sincere all of a sudden, which made it hard for Fiona to get used to.
He usually said jokingly when he was talking, but now he told the truth without hiding anything from her.
She was overwhelmed.
She clenched her teeth and said, "I'm going to finish the final examination of the semester." She had to
come back to the villa every time after school. Although she refused to be picked up by the luxury car,
she wasted a lot of time on the way.
She wanted to make a living by working.
Jeremy didn't take his eyes off the phone. "You can ask me if you don't understand and I will pick you
up every day."
"No."
"I don't want the outside world to misunderstand that we have a bad relationship." Being aware of her
purpose, Jeremy put down his phone and said, "The outside world I'm talking about are the people of
the Fu family. Do you understand what I mean?"
Jeremy suddenly approached her, and she could feel his warm breath. Then, she was confined to a
corner of the sofa.
Her heart raced.
