Sheridan finally understood why Vera had suddenly wanted to treat him to a meal. She was obviously going to turn him down.
His face darkened. "How are we not serious? Haven't we been getting along very well these days?" "Yes, but I..."

He asked, "Is it because of the man yesterday?" Vera's expression changed slightly; she shook her head to deny it.
"Ho." "No? I don't think so. You and that man were flirting with each other in front of me. Did you think that I'm blind? We just saw him yesterday, and today you are tellingyou don't want to continue our relationship. You still want to deny?" Vera remained silent.
"How about this? I don't mind if you have anything to do with him in the past. Let us find a day to get the marriage certificate and have a wedding?" Get the marriage certificate? Vera's face turned pale, and she refused his suggestion.
"Sorry, I don't like you. I can't marry you." Sheridan was very eloquent, but she was insistent regardless. It was obvious that she didn't want to continue seeing him. Seeing that his beautiful dream shattered to the point of no return, Sheridan immediately becangry from embarrassment.
"Looks like what Beanie said is true. You went to live in that man's house before you got married. I have seen way too many vain women like you who always throw themselves at rich men. Vera Zais, you sure are a sl*t. You're usingas a backup, but you're also reluctant to let go of your fat cat.
His voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of many people around; everyone looked over.

However, he underestimated Vera's psychological tolerance. Except for the people she cared about, it didn't matter even if she was under the strange gaze of others. So Vera took her bag and stood up. "Anyway, I have made it clear to you. Sorry, I have to go back to the restaurant. I'm leaving first." Vera went straight to the counter to pay the bill. When she got out of the restaurant and was about to wave down a cab to leave, Sheridan suddenly rushed over, grabbed her by her wrist, and dragged her to a corner.

"Letgo. What are you doing? Help..." Slap! As soon as Vera shouted, he slapped her face, and the next second, her mouth was covered by Sheridan. "You still dare to scream." After that, he shouted at the people around him.
"What are you looking at? This woman is unfaithful. What's wrong withteaching her a lesson?" Although many people were curious, everyone was afraid of trouble after all. After hearing what he said, they all left.
Vera was dragged into a nearby alley.
"B*tch, if I knew that you are such a good-for-nothing woman, I wouldn't have pretended. I would have just made you pregnant with my child, and you would have to marrywhether you like it or not." Sheridan pulled on Vera's hand. Regardless of Vera's kick and claw, he went and tore her clothes. When he saw her snow-white skin exposed, there was a flash of desire in his eyes. He growled and wanted to jump on her.
"Don't... letgo..." Vera was horrified to find that her strength could not compare with his, and she was desperate.
Bang! The next second, Sheridan was sent flying. He crashed straight into the wall not far behind him, making a muffled sound before falling back down to the ground.

"I was wrong. Please forgive me. Please spare my life... If I die, it won't end well for you, too." However, in response to that was a sharp pain in his other hand.
Maybe because his bones were broken, Sheridan passed out.
