The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1608

Urgh! Emory Li!

Thomas was not a fool. He obviously could guess what was going on after looking at those videos.

He thought that Emory's intention was to get more money or to replace Rainie's position as his legitimate wife. However, he never expected that she would be so cruel as to poison Rainie.

Right now, Thomas had been holding himself back and waited for the birth of the baby as long as Raine was safe. He had been tolerating Emory's behavior at the same time. However, how could Emory be this bold? She even schemed to harm Rainie so that she could be his legitimate wife, right?

Alas! How did Rainie feel back then?

At this thought, Thomas watched the last video several times. Then, he saw Rainie squatting at the corner like an abandoned child. She was crying and laughing at the same time like a madman.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but recall the first time he had carried Rainie down the mountain. Back then, he felt sorry for her as she looked extremely lonely and helpless at the cemetery. Hence, he sympathized with her situation and decided to help her.

At that time, the person who bullied Rainie was someone else, and he was just a passerby. He used to despise the man who treated her badly, but what about him now?

Rainie was still lonely and helpless, but he was the one who had hurt her!

Even if he didn't do it himself, this all happened because he had neglected her and taken no action!

He hated himself so much that he even wanted to kill himself.

No wonder Rainie wanted a divorce!

If he were Rainie, he wouldn't have wanted this marriage. After all, he would regret being with a bastard like himself.

He had to admit that Nathaniel's words really gave him a lesson.

Suddenly, Thomas felt as if someone had woken him up. When he recalled what he had done recently, he felt as if he had been bewitched by something and was completely out of control. Well, a real man would never cry unless he was truly in despair.

Thomas thought that the relationship between

Rainie and him had grown distant. Besides, they didn't have a child to keep them close. Hence, he would always overthink when Rainie came back from work without talking to him. After all, there were too many temptations outside. Although Rainie was good-looking and famous, he felt insecure whenever she wasn't around. He was afraid that other men would have their eyes on her. There was no affection and spark in their marriage anymore as Rainie's fatigue and coldness had taken a toll on their relationship. He didn't want to restrain her, or ask her to give up her career and stay at home comfortably while pampering herself. After all, this was not something she wanted because it would only drive her crazy. Therefore, he desired a child even stronger.

As long as they had a child, Rainie would have something to keep her occupied.

Just like Mango, perhaps she could give up her career to take care of the family. As such, he wouldn't have to bear the loneliness alone again. He even thought that Rainie would fall in love with the newborn after spending some time together. If that happened, she would probably be keen to stay at home just like how he had imagined.

However, right now, he was devastated at the thought of Rainie coughing out blood and was extremely concerned about her health. The raging emotions had shattered him into pieces and tore him apart. Hence, he was currently having an emotional breakdown, and he couldn't control himself.

Finally, he realized how unforgivable his mistakes were!

Ever since he became obsessed with a child, he had pushed Rainie away and even hurt her unintentionally by hiring an accomplice to help him.

Alas! How could he dare to call herself her husband?

Haha!

His heart was tumbling wildly as a murderous glint flashed upon his eyes.

He had no idea how long he had been there, and he didn't know when his tears had dried up.

He only knew after fumbling through the past memories with Rainie, he finally found out that the person he cared the most was still her.

Then, he put away his phone and stood up silently.

He didn't know how he came to his comrade's funeral nor what he had said to his wife. He only knew that he came out in a daze and booked the latest flight before flying back home.

When Thomas returned, he had a cold and murderous aura around him, so no one dared to approach him.

He went straight to the company and kicked open the door of Emory's office, which startled the surrounding staff.

Everyone in the company knew that Thomas favored Emory. After all, he would never blame or reprimand her even if she did a mistake. Besides, Emory was really capable, so everyone was envious of her, bu they couldn't do anything about tit.

Right now, Thomas's sudden violence and rudeness startled everyone in the room.

Furthermore, Emory was the most surprised person out of them.

Suddenly, she felt a little uneasy.

"Mr. Song, you're back!"

She quickly calmed down and walked towards him. However, Thomas immediately grabbed her by the neck. His scarlet eyes were so cold that it made people shiver in fear.

On the other hand, Emory felt as if the air in her lungs was being sucked out, so she was suffocating.

She kept hitting his arm as she struggled. However, Thomas wasn't an ordinary man.

He had outstanding skills, which no one could compare to because of his years of training!

His arm was like an iron clasp, and she couldn't break free at all. Suddenly, his cold and hostile voice instantly resounded around her.

"How dare you harm Rainie along with the assistant that I hired for her? Emory, who gave you the guts to go so?"

In fact, Thomas had been on the battlefield and killed people before. Right now, his murderous aura was very frightening. Everyone in the room was stunned because of the aura he emitted, and they didn't dare to say anything nor move forward to stop him.

There was a flash of panic in Emory's eyes after hearing this, and she quickly said, "I didn't! Mr. Song, someone framed me! I didn't do anything! Please believe me!"

?"Hah! Why should I believe you? Who do you think you are? How dare you ask me to trust you? Emory Li, don't you know why I asked you to help me with that task? Aren't you ashamed by your actions? We have a deal between us. I would pay money, and you would give me a baby. Once this deal is over, we will leave with no strings attached. However, how dare you harm my wife and even tried to kill her?! Believe it or not, I will definitely kill you today!"

Emory was greatly embarrassed by his words, mainly because people were watching them. Among them, some hated her and were jealous of her, so they wanted to take her place desperately. Hence, she felt even embarrassed when she thought about how she had made this deal with Thomas since the beginning.

That was right.

She was the one who had approached him in the beginning!

Her mother was seriously ill and urgently needed a large sum of money for an operation abroad. It was simply impossible for a nobody like her to acquire enough money to support her mother back then. Therefore, she asked Thomas for help. In addition to that, Thomas had also arranged an appointment with Dr. Xiao for her mother's operation. She knew that Thomas and Rainie did not have a child. After all, she heard that Rainie was an actress and could not have a child while her career was rising. From there, she noticed how badly Thomas desired to have a call. That was why she decided to lure Thomas by suggesting that she would bear his child instead.

She was the one who agreed to give birth to his child. Furthermore, she said she was okay with not having a status and with no strings attached. In fact, she would travel abroad after giving birth and never come back nor visit this child. After all, she could do this to thank Thomas for helping her out.

She just wanted to try her luck, but she never expected Thomas to agree to her suggestion.
