Chapter 8
"Enough!" Marco didn't want to hear it.
"You wanted to teach her a lesson by making her give up a kidney? Keely, I have been too lenient with you!"
Sensing that her situation was getting worse, Keely began to cry.
"Marco, I was wrong! I was just so scared. After Jorge died, I had no one to rely on, and I was ill. I was afraid you'd leave me alone after you got married. Can you forgive me?"
At the sight of Keely crying, Marco went soft.
"I promised Jorge that I would take care of you, and I would keep my word."
Keely breathed a sigh of relief, and Marco continued, "But Loraine is legally my wife. Don't play tricks on her anymore. I hope this will be the last of it."
Keely was stunned.
"Marco, how can a poor country girl Like Loraine possibly deserve to be your wife? Hasn't she embarrassed you enough these past three years? Do you want to spend the rest of your life with her? Besides, she's so greedy, and she even wants to divorce you..."
"I don't want to hear about my marriage from you."
Marco's forbidding expression scared Keely so much that she didn't dare say anything more.
"Now, you just need to rest and think about what you've done."
Marco left the ward with an air of indifference, but he couldn't help secretly feeling annoyed about Loraine's attitude earlier.
Marco hadn't expected Loraine to mention divorce.
He had never considered divorcing Loraine.
He had married her simply because he needed a wife.
A lonely country girl like Loraine, who had no one to rely on, no money and no power, was easily controlled.
During their three-year marriage, Loraine had been an obedient and well-behaved wife, which was exactly what Marco wanted.
He assumed it was acceptable to maintain this sort of marriage.
If Keely was the reason Loraine wanted to divorce, he would explain the situation clearly to Loraine and compensate her later.
Waving over his subordinate, Marco demanded, "Bring me my wife back, and don't let anything happen to her. Also, transfer five million to her account." The subordinate appeared conflicted.
Marco frowned.
