Chapter 24 She Has No Kin in this World Anymore

• Sensing how overbearing and angry Damian was, Lara recalled the icy look in his eyes when he looked at her in front of Olivia earlier today, and her heart suddenly ached as if a cut had been made in it. With a strength that she had never had before, she suddenly pushed him away and slapped him across the face. Slap!
• The loud slap resounded throughout the bathroom. Her eyes reddened, Lara looked at the furious man before her and bellowed, “What makes you think you could treat me like this? It’s just a million. I’ll give it back to you!” Then, she bolted through the door, took out the bank card Sean had given her earlier today from the handbag on the floor, and flung it at him. “Get out of here, now!”
• Damian’s face instantly turned as black as thunder. For the first time in my life, a woman actually dared to talk to me like this, he thought. At that very instant, he felt like his strong sense of pride and self-esteem as a man had been trodden underfoot by Lara. After shooting a frosty glance at her, he turned around and walked to the door.
