Ice and Fire

Chapter 745 Tears Of Despair (Part One)

Sharon walked upstairs and found that Greg's bedroom door was slightly open, and Violet was sitting

on the bed. Instead of going into her own bedroom, Sharon decided to confront Violet.

She walked to the door, pushed it open abruptly, and stared at Violet.

Violet was taken aback by the sudden noise, she turned around and saw Sharon.

"Sharon," Violet said coldly, and stood up.

Sharon slowly walked up to Violet, looked at her face and said,"It's just you and me here, you don't

need to pretend to be nice to me."

Violet looked towards the door, and didn't see Greg or Dad. It was true, it really was just them in the

room. She pulled herself together, looked back at Sharon and said,"I'm not an actor and I don't do

things like pretending for no reason."

Disdain reflected in Sharon's eyes. She lifted her right hand and pushed Violet on her shoulder,

saying,"Quit it! You said you loved Greg, but when it came to money, you ultimately chose it over him,

didn't you?"

Violet knew very well that it was Sharon who had set her up five years ago, and she was the reason

why Greg had left her.

"My love for Greg has never changed," Violet answered firmly. But at the moment, she struggled inside

while saying that. With Cassie in the picture, Greg was never going to be hers again. What was worse,

this woman in front of her had held a grudge against her ever since the day they first met. She felt tired

all of a sudden, exhausted by all the events that were happening around her.

"Really? Then why did you accept my money and leave Greg?" Sharon deliberately asked, although

she knew the truth better than anyone else.

"You know why. You forced me to take that money. I told you that I loved Greg, even when we were not

together," Violet said. She felt depressed and didn't want to talk anymore. Also Sharon didn't mean

anything to her, so she didn't want to explain herself to Sharon.

"You are such a hypocrite. What do you think will happen if I told Greg that you had accepted a

hundred million dollars from me in order to leave him?" Sharon asked condescendingly, although she

wouldn't dare tell Greg about it. She knew that if she did, she would only get herself in trouble, or even

worse, she might be thrown out of this house.

Violet was shocked by her words. She met Sharon's eyes, and said in all seriousness,"Don't you dare

tell him. We don't need you, an outsider, to intervene in our matters."

"Outsider? Are you calling me an outsider?" Sharon fumed and slapped hard across Violet's cheek. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Greg had been standing outside the door for long enough to hear every detail of their conversation. He

just stood there quietly till he heard the loud slap. He wanted to rush in to stop Sharon and protect the

woman he loved, but he couldn't stop thinking about what he had just heard, 'A hundred million dollars?

To leave me? What's all this about?'

Red fingerprints had appeared on Violet's cheek, she turned away from Sharon. She felt helpless, just

like when Sharon had forced her to take the money and leave Greg five years ago.

"What did you just say? An outsider?" Sharon shouted,"I have been married into this family for more

than fifteen years. How dare you call me an outsider?"

"You should know yourself if you are an outsider or not," said Violet bluntly. She smiled bitterly, looked

at Sharon and continued,"You tried to get Greg to marry Tina because you wanted to get close to the

richer women in the circle through Carol. You just wanted to be friends with all those glorious women

and experience the life lived by rich people."

Sharon's eyes burnt knowing that Violet had figured out her plans. She thought that she could cut to

the chase since it was just the two of them in the room.

"Yes, you are right. That is exactly why I married into this family. Of course, Fred and Greg already

know that. It was only you, Violet, who stood in my way and ruined my plans," Sharon shouted

harshly,"I gave you the hundred million five years ago so that you will leave Greg forever. I needed

Greg to be successful, my future depended on him. I couldn't allow you to drag him down. But I never

imagined that you would appear again when he came back to China. Why can't you stop lingering

around him like a ghost?"

Violet didn't answer, but she wondered about what Sharon had said- was that true? Was she really

standing in the way of Greg and Tina? And now, was she again standing in between him and Cassie?

Sharon continued angrily,"I was finally able to persuade Carol to talk to Tina about marrying Greg. And

it is all thanks to you that my plan went down the drain. How dare you secretly marry Greg without

telling anyone? You made him go crazy for you and lose control of himself."

Sharon couldn't control her rage anymore, she swiftly grabbed Violet by her neck and started to choke

her. She tightened her death grip slowly. She wanted to kill her.

Violet began to cough, she was finding it harder and harder to breath.

Greg couldn't stand and watch the violence any longer. He shouted,"Let her go!"

Sharon froze when she heard Greg's voice. She loosened her grip on Violet's neck, and turned her

trembling body around to face him.

"Let me explain, Greg. It's not what you think," Sharon cried, her hands swinging around frantically as

she tried to explain herself.

Violet fell on the bed, her mouth opened widely, trying to intake as much oxygen as possible.

Greg's deep eyes glared at Sharon. He shouted,"Get out!"

Sharon knew that Greg was angry and she didn't want to push her luck. If she tried to explain more,

she might end up crawling out of the room.

She shivered as she hurriedly walked away from Greg, and rushed out of the room.

Greg walked towards Violet and immediately saw the red mark on her face. He knew that it was

because of Sharon.

Violet adjusted herself quickly and stood up. She looked at Greg, but she couldn't figure out what he

was thinking.
