Disgust…

Of course, she knew what Nathaniel Summers was referring to.

She and Alexander Summers… had once been aunt and nephew, then siblings; in either case, it was an embarrassing predicament.

And her transferring affections was also an undeniable fact!

Purple’s hands clenched into fists, and she took a deep breath, sneering coldly, “What, you and Jade Carlson intimate together, and now you expect a dead person to remain faithful to you?”

“I didn’t!” Nathaniel was in agony, “Suzanne, I love you! But you betrayed me!”

Unmoved, Purple coldly responded, “Don’t say you love me again. If your love means spending my life insurance money with another woman after I’m dead, I’d rather have never been loved by you. Nathaniel, you were unfaithful yourself, so don’t expect me to keep marital fidelity. From the moment you abandoned me at the bottom of the river, our marriage was over!”

“I thought you were swept away by the river!” Nathaniel explained urgently, “I sent a lot of people downstream to find you! But they found nothing!”

“And after that?” Purple turned to look out the car window, her eyes cold, “What did you do afterward? You believed Jade Carlson’s words, thinking I committed suicide, then you peacefully spent the insurance money and enjoyed your life. Did you care if I was dead or alive? Did you ever consider my feelings? No, you did nothing… Maybe you were wishing for my death.”

Nathaniel was struck as if by lightning, his thoughts suddenly freezing.

“How could I possibly wish for your death?” Nathaniel murmured incredulously, “Could it be… you think I’m the one who killed you?”

Purple remained silent.

Human thoughts are the most complex and unpredictable. Under pressure, any extreme thought is normal.

Having an indifferent wife gone and receiving a desperately needed fortune, perhaps that idea only existed in the brain for a brief moment, just a moment… but enough to shake one’s resolve.

She didn’t want to argue with Nathaniel about this topic any more. Things had come to this point, and further probing was meaningless.

“Let’s go back,” Purple said softly.

“I did let Jade slip a drug into your drink, that’s true, but that drug was harmless to the body! It would never hurt you, much less kill you!”

Nathaniel was emotional, his chest heaving violently. At this moment, his long-repressed indignation burst forth.

“We’ve been married a year! Have you ever considered my feelings?! Every night, when we lay in the same bed, I was especially afraid, afraid you’d ask me why I wasn’t touching you, afraid you’d think I was impotent! But… you really didn’t ask, not even once. Suzanne, is your heart made of stone? I thought after warming you up for four years, you would have warmed up to me, but how did you treat me?! Is my love worthless in your eyes?!”

Purple felt a bit sad.

In this marriage, both she and Nathaniel were utter failures.

It’s true Nathaniel wasn’t clear-cut with Jade during the marriage, but Purple had never put her heart into making the marriage work either, so she wasn’t without blame.

At this point, both of them were responsible.

“Nathaniel, we can’t go back…” Purple sighed.

But Nathaniel sneered coldly, “Why can’t we go back? Is it because of Alexander Summers?”

“Think whatever you want,” Purple said, opening the car door and turning to leave.

Nathaniel chased after her, shouting angrily, “Why don’t you dare to answer?! Have you fallen in love with him? Suzanne! You’ve always been like this! It’s not him you love, you just love ‘that he loves you’! You’re the heartless one!”

On the riverbank, the cold wind was biting, messing up Purple’s long hair. She gathered her thick black hair in her hands, taking step after step forward.

Watching her leave without a trace of affection, Nathaniel could not bear it any longer, punching the car body and roaring in agony, “What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong!!!!”
