Chapter 1350 - Your Indulgence Will Lead To Her Eventual Downfall
Lea had planned to not let Gu Mengmeng off the hook that easily this time. Otherwise that little woman would become increasingly daring. Who knew what she might do next time.
But looking at her sobbing so miserably that she was gasping for breath—Lea’s own heart also ached at her every choke.
Sighing, he walked over to Gu Mengmeng and reached out one long, slender finger to gently wipe away her tears. He said through gritted his teeth, “You are just banking on the fact that we can’t say no to you, and so purposely did this to torture us, right?”
Shoulders trembling, Gu Mengmeng looked at Lea. Eyes all red-rimmed, she pursed her lips and shook her head pitifully. “I jumped not to kill myself… I just wanted to force Gregory to send me back to Sauder… I never thought that you and Elvis would jump after me…”
Lea was extremely angry. He pinched Gu Mengmeng’s nose hard. “Don’t you know just how important you are to Elvis and I? Alright, Gu Mengmeng, let me tell you. During the seconds when I was jumping after you, all I could think of was that I had to be under you when you landed on the ground, just so you will bear a little less pain right before you die. For someone who has such thoughts, do you think I would jump with you? Mmm?”
Elvis pushed Lea’s hand away with a frown. “Stop it, she is already scared stiff.”
Lea took a deep breath and turned toward Elvis. “You are just going to indulge her and let her do whatever she wants? If it was some other matter, I don’t care. But she had promised us before that she would protect herself and not come to harm for our sakes. She clearly knew that any injury she suffers would be a blow to our hearts. But what did she do now? Did she spare any thought for us when she was jumping off? Ha, for Chixuan… how many times has she abandoned us for him already? Ha?”
“I said enough!” Fury filled Elvis’ cold face.
Lea nodded with a bitter smile. “Your indulgence will lead to her eventual downfall… if I had known, I wouldn’t have so nobly given up the position of first partner to you. Ha, I should have brought her far far away and kept her hidden. In that way, there wouldn’t be any Cole, there wouldn’t be any Chixuan. And she wouldn’t dive into lakes or jump off cliffs!”
Elvis held Gu Mengmeng with one hand and used the other to grab Lea’s throat. His deep blue eyes blazed as he radiated with an aura of extreme danger. “I warned you. Don’t challenge me for the position of the first partner.”
Gu Mengmeng had never seen Elvis and Lea fight when they were sober. They were usually in sync with each other and shared common goals. They had fought once when drunk and once to dupe Cole. But Gu Mengmeng could see very clearly that the two of them were really in conflict now. They were both angry…
It was also obvious that she was the one who had made them angry, but they could not bear to be angry with her. Hence, they were venting their rage on each other.
Gu Mengmeng held onto Elvis’ wrist. “Hubby, hubby don’t be angry. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have been so impulsive. I will never dare to do this again. I really won’t… please loosen your grip, otherwise Lea will really be strangled to death.
Elvis stared at Gu Mengmeng, his lips tightly pressed into a thin line. The myriad of emotions reflected in those eyes made Gu Mengmeng’s heart ache terribly.
That gaze was full of rage. Of pain, unease and fear. Of… endless frustration.
