Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO Novel

Chapter 1046 +15 BONUS In the end , the butler turned and shut the last door that still offered Carol a way out . As soon as he stepped out , sure enough , it didn't take long before Carol's screams echoed from inside the room . He waited until the screaming stopped before opening the door again . Seeing Carol lying on the floor , covered in blood , a sharp pain twisted in the butler's chest . There was nothing he could change , so what was the point in caring?

He glanced at Albert , slumped on the sofa , panting heavily , with a bloodied cane lying at his feet - he didn't need to ask what had just happened . In a low voice , the butler said , " Sir , do you think the Waltons might come back ? Should I have someone clean the living room ? " At that , Albert looked at Carol , unconscious on the floor , and finally felt a bit of relief . He waved his hand . " Call a doctor . Don't let her die . " " Yes , sir . " The butler then took Carol away and returned her to her room .

Albert watched the two figures disappear , slowly wiping his fingers clean one by one . Only after venting on Carol did he feel any sense of peace . Yes , she was the woman he had once insisted on marrying . But that had been because he wanted what came with her . Her father , back then , had power beyond imagination . That was why Albert had pursued the marriage in the first place - to gain that advantage . But now , her father was long dead . And the daughter who had married in all those years ago ? She had no more value to offer . With that thought , the smile on Albert's lips deepened .

He had nearly forgotten the most humiliating chapter of his life until this woman insisted on dragging it back up . She had no one to blame but herself . Not long after , the butler returned . 1/2 Chapter 1046 +15 BONUS " Sir , it's been taken care of . " " Mm . Good . " Albert stood up and tossed the wet wipe in his hand into the trash can . " If the Waltons come again , just tell them I'm not home. Say the house was empty earlier , which is why no one answered the door . " Albert thought it over - he couldn't afford to fall out with the Waltons .

The Hayes Enterprises , though once backed by his wife's father , had only benefited in the early stages when the company had just been founded . Now that the old man was gone , Albert had no one left to rely on . And the Walton project accounted for a significant portion of Hayes Enterprises ' portfolio . One wrong move , and everything would unravel . This project absolutely couldn't be altered . The butler looked at Albert's anxious face and found it somewhat laughable . Still , he nodded . " Understood , sir . " He returned to the gate to keep an eye on the situation outside .

In his heart , he couldn't help but find Albert utterly ridiculous . Beating his own wife half to death yet still putting money above all else . The butler genuinely felt sorry for Carol . After all these years , had she really not seen through what kind of man she had married ? Meanwhile , Albert once again reminded the butler to be respectful and courteous if the Waltons returned . Also , they must not find out that Carol had been injured in the house .

After that , Albert went back to his usual habit - hiding in his second - floor study , where he could still observe what was going on downstairs . He wasn't sure why , but there was an unsettling feeling in his gut . He couldn't quite explain it , but he kept trying to reassure himself . The butler was outside - everything would be fine . Whatever happened , he'd be the first to know . 2/2 Chapter 1047
