Blood on the third wish novel

Chapter 7 "Dave Stone? Why are you here?" Arthur recognized the newcomer. He was a famous hedonistic trust fund baby in Kinston back in the day. Backed by the Stones, he was arrogant and domineering. Even Arthur had suffered quite a bit at his hands. Later, the Stones collapsed after backing the wrong side, and Dave vanished along with them. Arthur looked the man up and down. This once-glamorous playboy was now in a wretched state..... With unkempt hair and stubble, a yellowed, curling collar, and a faint stench of sweat clinging to him, Arthur frowned in disgust.

"Dave, you claim to be Emily's husband? What is that supposed to mean?" "What does it mean?" Dave sneered and slapped a marriage certificate onto the table. "Emily, tell Mr. Hudson what this means." Dave stared darkly at Emily, who was cowering in the corner. He absolutely loathed this woman. When the Stones first fell, Emily spent her days sighing, worrying about their future. Seeing her distress broke his heart, so he told her about the secret stash of money Reginald Stone had entrusted to someone for him before going to prison.

But while that woman promised to stick by his side, she stole the funds the moment his back was turned and fled back to the country. Penniless and stranded abroad, he couldn't even afford a plane ticket home. If he hadn't met a kind stranger, he would have starved to death in a foreign land without anyone knowing. Emily screamed, "I don't know him! He's just here to scam us for money! 0.00% 12:39 286 Vou Arthur, please believe me, you're the only one I love!" Emily denied it, but the marriage certificate Dave produced couldn't lie. The truth was now crystal clear.

Six years ago, when the Hudsons went bankrupt, Emily was terrified that Arthur would use their status as childhood sweethearts to cling to her. Coincidentally, the only son of the then-powerful Stone family showed interest in her, so she unhesitatingly dumped Arthur and went abroad with Dave. She married Dave overseas and lived the life of a wealthy socialite for a few years, just as she had wanted. But the good times didn't last. The Stones offended the wrong people and were uprooted, leaving Dave a commoner overnight. It was fine at first. Dave still had some money.

But Emily was used to spending money like water, and after just two months, she couldn't take it anymore. Just then, news arrived that Arthur's startup had succeeded and he was the new rising star of the business world. Emily hardened her heart, stole the last of Dave's assets, and returned to the country. Upon discovering that Arthur still held a torch for her, she schemed to get back with him. Everything was going according to plan, but then Emily discovered she was pregnant. She lied, claiming the child was Arthur's, and used the baby to gain entry into the Hudson family.

Terrified that keeping the child would eventually expose the truth, she knowingly fed the baby food containing seafood despite his severe allergy, and after the child died, she shifted the blame onto me. As Dave's mocking words piled up, Arthur's eyes turned red with hatred. Emily had lied to him, claiming the Thornes had forced her to go abroad, and he had believed every word. But now... Dave scoffed. "Do you need me to recount exactly how she crawled into my bed back then?" "Mr. Hudson, if you're that desperate for a woman, go find a brothel.

What's with stealing another man's wife and child?" Arthur's expression grew even colder. For a woman like this, he had hurt Sarah, the one who loved him most. Recalling the countless times she had wept and pleaded in his memory, a sharp pain twisted in Arthur's chest. Back then, he had only thought Sarah was jealous-envious that Emily could carry 24.55% 12:39 Chapter 7 288 G his child-and had grown increasingly disappointed in her.

But looking back now, it was clear that Emily had deliberately set her up "Emily, well played " He gritted the words out, a sinister darkness in his eyes that no one had ever seen before. Arthur's revenge came swift and vicious. He reclaimed every asset under Emily's name and kicked her out of the Hudsons'. Under his orchestration, Emily was even saddled with massive gambling debts, quickly losing the last few scraps of wealth she had left. Dave's original plan to force her to pay up fell through, and in his rage, he turned violent against Emily But Emily wasn't one to be pushed around.

Living in a basement in the slums, the two fought constantly over the smallest trifles, and given their marriage, outsiders hesitated to intervene. Arthur refused to believe I was dead. He sealed my body in a glass coffin and hired a spiritual master to perform a ritual. The master perhaps truly had some skill. With just one glance at my body, he shook his head and sighed. "Her vital spark is extinguished. She cannot be saved." Arthur swayed on his feet, instinctively retorting, "How is that possible?

She is the siren princess!" "Even the mightiest race is no different from mortals once they lose their innate magic. She gave everything, including her very flesh and blood, to you. All that remained was a body no different from a human's-aging, sickness, and death are inevitable." The moment the words fell, a tremor ran through the glass coffin. Realizing what was happening, Arthur panicked. He rushed forward to hold down the lid, but he couldn't stop my body from dissipating bit by bit. "Sarah!" Arthur collapsed to his knees, consumed by grief.

Watching with his own eyes as my body turned into nothingness, leaving not a trace behind, he finally realized that I was truly dead. "Why? Why?!" Arthur couldn't understand. He had thought I was an omnipotent visitor from another world, 60.85% 12:39 allowed him to humiliate me for so long? "What a tragic sin The priest looked at Arthur, hesitating as if to speak, but ultimately shook his head and left. Arthur, still lost in a daze, failed to notice the priest's strange behavior. Until he received a phone call: "Mr. Hudson, bad news! Madam Hudson has been in a car accident!" 92.84% 12:39 admin
