Chapter 19 You Hurt Me
Eric’s aggressive aura surrounded Kate like a punishment, making her feel suffocated.
“Eric!”
After a while, she finally gasped for breath and cried out, “You hurt me.”
Her soft, hoarse voice with a hint of tears suddenly pierced Eric’s mind.
The broken string in his mind was reconnected by her words. Eric took a step back abruptly, his face still showing fierceness and coldness. He stared at the wound on Kate’s lips, the panic and tears in her eyes, feeling even more agitated, his fists clenched tightly.
D*mmit, I hurt her again.
Just as he turned to leave, Kate reached out and grabbed Eric’s hand.
Eric froze, his cold eyes glancing back at Kate.
With his help, Kate stood up and threw herself into Eric’s slightly cold embrace.
Her voice was trembling and filled with grievances, “Eric, why didn’t you let me finish?”
Eric remained still, his cold aura softening slightly. With his eyes still crimson, he waited quietly for Kate to continue.
“I wanted to attend the banquet because … I wanted to appear as your wife.”
Kate’s eyes were red, her voice tinged with a sob. “Everyone says I am just a toy you keep, and you might dump me when you get tired of me. We’ve been married for three years and you’ve never taken me to a public event.”
She lifted her head, tears rolling down her cheeks. “I haven’t seen my parents and brother for three years.”
As she spoke, Kate’s spirit seemed somewhat trance–like.
Yes, three years. She had been married to Eric for three years now. Three years ago, when she was forced to marry Eric, she had cut off all ties with her parents in anger and had not contacted them since.
She even blocked and deleted their numbers, so she had no idea what kind of trouble Lowe Group was currently facing.
If she remembered correctly, it was at this banquet that Lowe Group was embroiled in a scandal involving her brother.
Her brother had been set up, drugged, and had relations with a girl, who then accused him of
rape.

Finished
As a result, Lowe Group’s stock plummeted, and at the time, she was deceived by Ruth and Simon, who claimed that everything was orchestrated by Eric to ruin Lowe Group’s reputation and steal their projects without a fight.
She believed them, and her relationship with Eric became more and more strained, eventually falling apart.
So after she was reborn, she did everything she could to coax Eric and repair their fragile relationship, not just because she wanted to make it up to him and love him, but also because she wanted to gain his trust, to get Eric to agree to let her leave Summer Estate and take her to the banquet together!
She wanted to stop everything that Ruth and Simon were planning, to prevent the tragedy of her brother from starting!
Eric did not expect Kate to say such words. He stared at her in a daze, with various emotions churning violently in his heart.
Originally, his heart was like a stagnant pool with no ripples, but now, because of Kate’s words, it stirred up a storm.
It turned out… he was wrong.
He thought she wanted to meet Simon in private, but he didn’t expect her to say that she was willing to attend the banquet as his wife.
Just this sentence was enough to calm the raging anger in Eric’s heart, but because of her words. afterwards, his heart was filled with tenderness and guilt.
Kate carefully held Eric’s hand, gently shaking it, her tone soft and pleading, “Eric, will you take me there? Please?”
