My Perfect Marriage Was His Perfect Crime novel Chapter 14

My words seemed to snap her back to reality, making her realize that her transformation from a village girl to someone living a life of luxury, clad in designer clothes, wasn't thanks to Gavin—it was all because of my money.

Hearing this, Gavin, who had been silent, suddenly shoved Ellie away violently.

He turned to me in a panic, trying to explain himself.

"So that's what's bothering you, Scarlett? It's all her fault! Ellie's a vile seductress who drugged me with all sorts of mind-altering substances…"

Ellie, pushed so hard, fell heavily to the ground.

Her forehead hit the edge of the table, leaving a deep gash that started bleeding profusely.

In no time, her face became horrifyingly disfigured.

She stared at Gavin in disbelief, fury written all over her face.

"You weren't saying that when you begged me to be with you. You weren't saying that when you kissed me in bed!"

Her words made Gavin's face twist.

"You're spouting nonsense!"

Ellie Johnson's face was visibly swollen from the slap, and the scene before me had turned into a farce.

I couldn't help but feel a wave of irritation.

With a simple wave of my hand toward my secretary, she immediately understood my intent.

In no time, she called the property management office.

Soon, Gavin and Ellie, along with all their belongings, were thrown out.

As he was being dragged away, Gavin struggled desperately, but his strength was no match for several men.

In the end, all he could do was cast a deep, pitiful, and pleading gaze in my direction.

But I was no longer the soft-hearted woman I used to be.

My heart was now as cold as iron; I would not waver.

After they were gone, I decided to sell the house.

I moved into a larger villa.

The old house still bore traces of the past. Since I was determined to say goodbye to it completely, I wouldn't let myself cling to any lingering memories.

After settling into my new home, the first thing I did was return to the company.

Although I had been away from work for three years, the instincts for it were ingrained in my blood.

I seamlessly resumed the company's projects and began restructuring the workforce.

In my absence, it seemed the company had undergone a complete overhaul.

Many new employees had been hired, but they were lazy and undisciplined.

Some even failed to recognize me when they saw me.
