novelxo Chapter 1462
Leaving those harsh words behind, Julien straightened out his slightly messy clothes and was about to leave the house. Before Julien opened the door, Vanessa sneered and said, "That's right, I'm such a woman. Did you find out only now?"
Out of guilt, Vanessa had been giving in to Julien all this while and she would do everything as he said. After all, he was someone who provided for her. But at that split second, Vanessa felt like something had knocked on her head, sobering her up.
All this while, Julien did not give her the money for nothing. He paid for her service and she earned the money with her body and her own effort. Moreover, he got satisfaction from her too, didn't he? It was a fair trade. How could he look down on her?
How could he?
Who was he to look down on her?
Vanessa bit her lip and glared at Julien furiously. Just as she was glaring at him, Julien halted in his tracks and glared back at Vanessa with his sombre and angry eyes.
Even though the living room was still unlit, Vanessa could still see the anger in his eyes. It was so obvious that she could feel it without even looking at him. Vanessa thought that Julien probably would have killed her if he could.
"Why are you looking at me like this? Are you trying to make me shut my mouth?" Vanessa was obviously exhausted by his tormenting, but at that moment, she felt filled with vehemence. Although her clothes were in a mess, she still stood straight, trying to hold on to the very last bit of her dignity. She said in a confident voice, "I'm a woman who makes money by selling my body, but do you think you're any better? It's precisely because of men like you that there are women like me. Speaking of which, we are just the same, so don't you f*cking look down on me."
"So you're saying that selling to one man or to countless men doesn't make any difference at all, huh?" Upon hearing Vanessa words, Julien clenched his fists tightly. He was trying his best control to himself but failed to do so, so he ended up saying such harsh words.
"What?" Vanessa didn't quite understand what Julien meant at first. However, when she linked his words to his disdainful tone, Vanessa finally understood. It turned out that he had never trusted her. He thought that all this while, she had another man besides him.
It was no wonder that he would criticize her, saying that she was that kind of woman.
Knowing how Julien had perceived her, Vanessa thought that she had nothing else to lose, so she said, "I've already told you from the beginning that I wasn't a virgin. You knew it but you still decided to take me as your lover. So don't pretend to be a victim now. You really make me feel sick."
Julien clenched his fists so tightly that they produced a cracking sound.
Vanessa snorted, "Julien, don't come talking about feelings with me when all you did was pay me to vent your lustre. This world is that realistic. You can do anything you want as long as you have money. There's nothing you can't do without money. Who the f*ck has the time to talk about feelings?"
Listening to Vanessa's words, Julien's face was as dark as the night sky.
Vanessa added, "I now declare that our deal has come to an end. You can get out of my face now and don't let me see you ever again."
Julien grabbed Vanessa, and lifted her chin. "Vanessa Love, do you actually think that you have the say in this? Huh, don't you think that you're a little too naive? I was the one who made this deal happen, so before I say anything, don't you even dare to think about calling it off."
Vanessa wanted to pat his hand away, but she couldn't. "Then tell me, what do you really want?"
Julien said, "Since you've agreed to marry me, then you should start preparing yourself for it. As soon as the house is transferred to you, I will send someone to pick you up and send you to the General Register Office."
Vanessa was speechless.
Vanessa was confused. Julien obviously hated her so much but why must he marry her? Was he looking for a lawful way to further insult her?
Since she couldn't change anything, Vanessa knew that she could only accept the reality. However, she had to make things clear to Julien. She said, "If you still want to marry me, I'll definitely play along. But le me be clear on this, I'm not a pure and innocent woman. I've done countless things that you can never imagine. If you're still willing to marry me, then transfer the house to me first. As for how I deal with this house in the future is completely my business."
"Just do your part and you'll have everything you want." Now that Vanessa was talking
about the house again, the dying flame in Julien's heart rekindled. He knew that if he were to stay there any longer, he might do something that would hurt her again. Hence, he opened the door, and slammed the door as he left.
Now that Julien had left, Vanessa didn't want to think about it anymore. All she wanted to do was to go back to the hospital as soon as possible. She had to go back before Lawrie woke up. She did not want to traumatize him any more.
Vanessa quickly refreshed up, and packed up all the jewelleries that Julien had gifted her in the past without bothering if they were authentic. Looking at the exquisite workmanship, Vanessa thought that she could probably sell them at a good price.
Not only did she pack up the jewelry, she had also packed up a couple of evening gowns. She didn't know much about jewelleries and fashion. However, the material of these gowns were very comfortable, so they were probably worth something too.
The dresses and jewelleries filled two large suitcases in no time. However, it was still in the middle of the night, so pawn shops and second-hand stores were still closed. Hence, Vanessa planned to bring the suitcases with her to the hospital first. She did not feel at ease leaving them at home because she was worried that Julien might ask his men to come to the house and take them back.
As long as she had them with her, even if Julien were to go back on their agreement, she could still sell these items and pay for Lawrie's treatment. The money that she would get out of these items might even be enough for herself and Lawrie until she finds another way to get more money.
Fortunately, Vanessa was only away for two hours, so Lawrie had not woken up from his sleep. She entered the ward quietly, and seeing that Lawrie was sleeping soundly, she felt relieved. However, as soon as she sat down, she could hear Lawrie sobbing, "Mommy, I thought you didn't want me anymore."
Vanessa was stunned. She hurriedly looked towards Lawrie and saw that Lawrie, who was lying on the bed, was crying and his eyes were red and swollen. She immediately comforted him, "No, Lawrie. I went home to pack up some necessities when you were asleep. I've never thought of leaving you behind, Lawrie."
