Chapter 7 Torture
"Trey, sign the papers and kick her out of our family!
"She is just the driver's daughter. She is of low status. How can she be worthy of you? You are so noble! You are completely out of her league! I'm so sick of her!"
Harley was very anxious as if she was the one who was eager to divorce.
"No way!"
Trey suddenly tightened his grip and stared at Kristen. "You don't love me, and you want to leave?
"Who do you think I am? A plaything?
"Let me tell you something. Even if we were to divorce, it would be because I was so tired of seeing your disgusting face that I would let you go.
"You have no right to do anything in my family. And you don't have the right to say you want to divorce me!
"Besides, even if we get a divorce, I won't allow you to leave here. Emilee says that you have at least one advantage. You can cook and do hand work. You are very suitable to be a lowly maid.
"So, I will have you stay in my family as a maid and serve Emilee and me forever. Without my order, even if you die, you will have to die here!"
He was like a demon who completely shattered the last glimmer of hope that was in Kristen's heart.
"Trey!"
Kristen clenched her fists and somehow got the strength. She suddenly pounced at Trey. "You bastard!"
"Trey!"
Harley shouted, picked up a glass on the table, and smashed it hard on Kristen's head.
Bang!
Kristen fell to the ground with blood all over her body. The wounds on her back were terrifying, and her head was bleeding.
"Kristen!"
A trace of panic flashed across Trey's mind. He bent down to pick her up and strode out.
"Go to the hospital!"
"Trey, what are you doing? She wanted to kill you! Why are you saving her?" Harley chased after him in anger.
"Just throw her into the bedroom and leave her there. If she can make it, she is lucky. If she can't, it has nothing to do with us."
"Get lost!"
Trey shouted irritably, and he quickly left.
Harley was confused. "Grandma, what was Trey doing? Was he crazy? Doesn't he hate Kristen the most? Why did he save her?"
Hearing that, Ariana sneered coldly, "She is completely a vixen. She thought she could make Trey change his mind by putting on an act.
"I always thought that she was honest. Who knows? She is so scheming! Maybe she has been plotting for the property of our family all the time!"
The matter of Kristen's plagiarism had been going on for a month.
It was all over the internet, and the video of the final of that day was broadcast on various platforms with various clips.
Kristen was known as a plagiarist. She had won various awards before, and now all the organizers announced the cancellation of her ranking. They even went to the Barrett's place to bring her trophies back.
They would give the trophies to the people who won second place.
Kristen, the design genius, lost all her fame overnight.
"Time to eat."
The closed door was opened, and dazzling light came in, making Kristen's eyes ache.
She was in the utility room in the Barrett's villa.
Ariana asked someone to seal the window tightly, and the lights in the room were turned off. It was dark all day and night.
Kristen had been locked up here for a month. Giada would come here to deliver “food” every day.
Giada threw the plate to the ground casually. "Mrs. Barrett said a dog who still knows to guard the house. You even worse than a dog. In the future, you will eat this. Suit yourself."
While talking, Giada walked away, and she was irritated. "If you don't want to live, why don't you go and kill yourself? I have to deliver food to you every day. How unlucky I am!
"What's the point of a woman like you living?"
"Giada, what did you say?"
Giada mumbled so attentively that she did not notice the man who came from the courtyard.
"Mr. Barrett..."
Giada looked up and met Trey's cold eyes. She suddenly became timid.
"How is her appetite recently?"
Trey had been on a business trip for a whole month. He only knew that Kristen was angry and refused to contact anyone, and she moved here alone.
Giada turned around and looked at the room that was completely sealed. She was a little guilty. "She is ... alright. She ate quite well."
Trey followed her gaze, and his expression immediately changed.
"Mr. Barrett... Mr. Barrett! Don't go over there.
"Mrs. Barrett said that you are not allowed to see her. Mr. Barrett..."
Bang!
The door of the utility room was kicked open again after two minutes.
The dazzling light shone in again.
Kristen, who had just picked up the “food”, couldn't help reaching out to cover her eyes.
