Love Contract

Chapter 270 Misfortunes Never Come Singly (Part Two)

"That's not true! I don't love anyone else. I love you! Mary, you're the only one I love!" Faced with her skeptical expression, William felt his shoulders sag. "Mary, you have to believe me!" he pleaded.

The situation at the door was bad enough, but another trouble had descended upon the company. Barry's assistant, Cooper, hurried up to the trio. "Mr. Gu! Mr. Gu! Something's happened!"

"What's wrong?" Barry frowned.

"The computers in the company..." Cooper looked embarrassed. He glanced at William and said, "The computers of our company seemed to have been infiltrated by a hacker. And now... All the computers are playing... Indecent videos..."

Indecent videos?

Mary's eyes shot open. She felt a wave of uneasiness wash over her. Before Barry could reply, Mary had already started toward the company hall.

"Mary!"

William shouted, running after her. The obscene voices got louder as she approached the front desk.

Mary stared at the computer, and her stomach dropped. Occupying the whole screen was a recording of a man and a woman's passionate lovemaking. The leading male in the video was none other than William, who entered the hall right after Mary.

She stood frozen by the desk, unable to breathe. As much as she wanted to, she couldn't look away.

Mary gripped the edge of the desk until her knuckles turned white. A fresh stream of tears fell as she shut her eyes. She wanted the earth to swallow her whole so she wouldn't have to suffer such torture.

Just behind her, William was also fixed in place. He stared at the computer screen. His face flushed, but it wasn't long before William felt the blood drain. He gaped at the recording. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"Mary, stop watching it!" Barry covered Mary's eyes. "Come, let's get you away from here."

William gulped anxiously, his Adam's apple teetering up and down. "Mary, please!"

Hearing his plea, Mary feebly attempted to dry her face. She faced him slowly, her teary gaze meeting his. "William Lan, you are absolutely disgusting!"

Her right hand flew to the delicate bracelet on her left wrist. With a symphony of clangs, the beads fell to the ground and bounced away in various directions.

Each bead felt like a shot to William's heart. He still remembered Mary's happiness the night he had gifted it to her, but now...

His chest felt infinitely laden. Seeing his Mary so pale and indifferent felt like the air in his chest was emptied.

He could do nothing but watch as another man took Mary farther and farther away from him.

"Mary..." William called out to her in a low voice, but he hardly sounded like himself.

The overwhelming fear of losing her from four years ago swept over again. This time, William watched Mary leave with his own two eyes, and it was a thousand times more painful than before.

"Mary! Mary!"

William picked up his pace and chased after them, trying his best to catch up.

If he couldn't reach her, he would lose his love forever...

William raced out of the building and onto the road. He ignored his car parked in front of the GM Universing Studios. All he focused on was his legs pushing him forward. Amidst the heavy flow of traffic, there were no signs of Mary and Barry.

"William..."

On the road opposite GM Universing Studios, Frank had caught a glimpse of the red-eyed William exiting the company from his white sports car. His eyes, which had been lazily watching the building, suddenly tightened.

Not wasting another second, Frank started the car and chased after William.

'Barry's villa. Barry's villa. Mary must be there!'

There was only one thought on William's mind as he ran: to get Mary back.

Before he knew it, William's legs had become jelly. He fell down to his knees and landed face-first onto the ground.

"William!" Frank got out of the car just as the other man collapsed. He helped William up to his feet. "William, do you have to do this? If that woman ran away, just let her go..."

"It's you!" William yelled. He regarded Frank for only a second before punching him in the face. He took two steps back and roared, "It was you who told Mary, right? It must've been you, Frank! Nobody knows about that box except you!"

"William..." Frank touched the corner of his bleeding mouth and grimaced.

"Frank!" Still raging, William roared and punched him in the stomach. "I warned you not to hurt Mary. Why? Why?'1

Frank spat out a mouthful of blood. "Yes, I told her! So what? I told her that you loved my sister. That you haven't forgotten about her even after all these years. Am I wrong, William? "

William smiled bitterly. "No, you were right about that. You made a mistake, however. I haven't forgotten about your sister merely because I feel guilty about her. That is different from my love for Mary!"

"But that box..."

"I'll burn it right away!" William said. "I won't write to her ever again..."

With that, William turned away and left.

"I'm going to kill Mary Lu!" Frank shouted fiercely after him.

William stopped in his tracks. He threatened Frank immediately. "I'll kill you first."

"Haha..." Tears and blood mingled on Frank's face. "Kill me? William, do you really have the heart to do that?"

"If I have to, I will." From over his shoulder, William said one last thing. "Whether I go to heaven or hell, I will live and die with Mary. If I can't kill you, I will die together with her."
