Chapter 18
Justin naturally ignored the “misdeeds” he had done and blamed Kathy’s departure on “falling out of love“.
The flames of jealousy burned him mad, but he still maintained a shred of sanity, knowing he couldn’t cause a scene at such a party.
This is not New York. One wrong step could lead to endless trouble.
So when he saw Kathy leaving the banquet hall, apparently heading to the restroom, he immediately followed closely behind.
Kathy was leisurely applying makeup in the bathroom.
Soon, in the mirror, she found herself locking eyes with a pair of narrow, dark eyes.
“You are really impressive, you have gained a lot of skills.”
Justin was originally standing at the door, his tall figure blocking the entrance to the bathroom tightly, just to prevent Kathy from escaping in panic.
But he found that she seemed too calm.
Just stood there, with no intention of escaping at all.
“Was it Jovan who gave you the confidence? When did you two hook up?”
Justin approached slowly.
He had to slow down and give himself some time to calm down.
Otherwise, he was very doubtful that he would be here, doing something out of control.
“He was just one of my confidence, not all.”
Kathy said lightly.
Beneath the seemingly calm and tranquil eyes, there surged a deep hatred.
The hatred of her beloved son’s tragic death and disappearance of his remains will haunt her for the rest of her life.
“Before, you gradually became cold towards me, and in the end, no matter what I did, you didn’t care at all, was it be- cause of him?”
Justin was immersed in his own imagination. The words he had intended to apologize and seek forgiveness with had turned into hurtful swords.
“Ha, indeed you are what you are, only able to see what you see.”
Kathy sneered contemptuously.
“Over the years, I have lived under your close surveillance. Did I ever have a chance to be with someone else? Don’t you know?”
Even if I cheated on someone, how can you just change women like clothes and expect me to be faithful to you?
Justin was choked by her words, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
“I am different from you, I am a man!”
You went out and asked, how many of those men who are not as good as me are surrounded by women constantly?
I gave you endless wealth, a comfortable life, and a stable social status. Isn’t that enough? Can’t we live well together as long as you behave and stop picking fights with me all the time?
This was something Justin could never figure out.
Since ancient times, men with certain skills have never had only one woman by their side.
Why can other women tolerate it, but Kathy has to risk everything to quarrel with him, and in the end, they both end up getting hurt.
Kathy was shocked once again by his shameless remarks.
She turned around and looked at the man she had once loved deeply, the hatred in her eyes no longer concealed.
“Justin, you were clearly despicable and shameless through and through.”
There were only a few short steps between Kathy and Justin.
She felt as if there was an insurmountable chasm between them.
In a daze, it seemed like I had crossed through the river of time, gazing from afar at him from that year.
When I first met Kathy, she was feeding several abandoned
stray cats.
I be reflection of the sunlight, her profile was quiet and beautiful, her gentle gaze almost immediately captured Ju n’s heart.
The so–called love at first sight kept his gaze and thoughts firmly fixed on her.
In order to win over Kathy, he not only spent a fortune countless times to create romance, but also paid attention to every detail in their interactions.
What really touched Kathy was that, since they met, he took the initiative to cut off all the previous ambiguities, as if
he had really become a reformed playboy, focusing only on her.
It’s just a pity that everything was an illusion.
It was the patience he showed in order to get her, and only two years after marriage did his true colors show.

gaze made his chest feel tight, Justin clenched his fists and pounded on his chest.
That cold, purely scrutinizing gaze seemed to be knocking down and denying all their past between them.
He irritably rubbed his face, trying to soften the gaze as much as possible.
“Kathy, there was a misunderstanding between us. You can call me scum, shameless, but don’t deny my love for you.”
“Love? Are you sure you can distinguish between love and possessiveness?”
Kathy sneered contemptuously.
“I forgot, growing up in a family without love, how could
you
understand.”
Justin’s face turned pale in an instant, looking at her in disbelief.
She actually remained expressionless while tearing open the most unbearable scar in his heart.
Justin’s parents were extremely selfish and self–centered people.
In their marriage, there were only interests and schemes.
Justin’s birth was an accident and a shame.
His nominal father was not his biological father.
But it was the man he called uncle.
In order to cover up this shameful incident, Justin’s family hastily married his mother to a man whose background
was far inferior to their own.

The two of them, who seemed to be a perfect match but were actually drifting apart, were each doing their own thing outside. How could they care about a shame that shouldn’t even exist?
Justin, who grew up in darkness, eventually turned into a monster who neither understood love nor knew how to love.

Justin’s body swayed, and he raised his hand to rub his chest.
The feeling of angina came back.
The pain radiating in all directions along the thoracic spine caused his usually upright body to hunch slightly, shaking
uncontrollably.
“Does it hurt? Then just let it hurt.”
Kathy’s red lips were like fire, every word she spoke was wrapped in ice and laced with poison.
She lightly touched the necklace around her neck, the pendant on it was a small glass bottle containing grayish–white powder.
“Kathy, I know I was wrong.”
Justin finally lowered his head in front of her.

“It was not the right way for me to love you, and I couldn’t resist temptation. No matter how you punish me, I just beg you to come back and give me a chance to make it up to you, okay?”
