Chapter 165 Can’t Escape

“Frances, are you crazy?”

I instantly jump up from the bed to pick up all the pieces of paper scattered on the floor.

I somehow still hold on to a hope that these pieces can be patched up with glue, but at the moment, I
am having a hard time restoring the piece of paper to its original state. What can I do now?

“Return me another check now! I don’t care about anything now, I’ve given you this check but you have
torn it into pieces like mad. Your actions doesn’t have anything to do with me.”

I am not in the wrong here, so I have no qualms voicing out my opinions.

Frances laughs imperceptibly as he sweeps away the pieces of the check while sitting by the bed.

“Where’s the evidence? You claimed that I have returned the money, but do you have proof? I have
proofs that you are owing me money, and it’s all written in black and white together with the short
memo. I have everything with me.”

This bastard!

I curse him silently before retorting vehemently, “Frances, it’s not like you are lacking financially, so why
do you always want to pester me endlessly? Even if you don’t want to be with your wife anymore, you
can always find a woman who is a thousand times better than me. Why do you have to bother with
someone like who is divorced?”

I feel quite helpless in my heart. Frances is more difficult to get rid of than I have thought.

Just as he said, I don’t have any proof that I have returned him money, yet he is still holding on to the
evidences that show me as owner of his debt.



I really don’t know how I can return that sum amounting to four million yuan after I have missed my
chance last time.

“I have already stated clearly, at my discretion, this game will never stop unless I put it to a stop
myself.”

Frances’ words successfully plunge my heart into a deep abyss.

I really don’t have any idea how I should make him get too tired of me to the point of letting me off the
hook.

“If you don’t want to see a letter from my lawyer coming into your mailbox, you should just follow me
back.”

France smiles while pinning some strands of my hair to the back of my ear. Goosebumps sweeps over
my skin like a wave.

It seems like I have no other choice other than conceding defeat.

“Frances, I admit that you’re ruthless.”

I comment viciously.

Then, I carry the box along with me as I plan to follow him back.

However, he suddenly collapses onto the bed as he says lazily, “It’s so late now, I don’t want to
continue this fiasco anymore. Let’s just sleep first. We will talk about what happens after waking up.”

When he says that, he pats the empty space next to him, motioning me to lie down too.

His good mood has seemingly returned as he toys around with my hair. He says in a low voice, “You
told me that today would be a special day. Are you referring to what has happened just now?”



“Yes.” I answer honestly without raising my head to meet him.

“Today is indeed a special day. Jane, you are getting more and more courageous as time goes on.”
Frances’ tone suddenly dips a few notches.

From his tone right now, I can tell that he’s angry.

“So what if I have courage now? It’s not like I can escape from you.”

I complain powerlessly.

From the day I was by France’s side, I have been concocting a plan on how to leave him. In the end,
after much struggle, I still fail.

“It’s great that you know that.”

He smiles while he replies.

I know I can’t afford to offend him any further, so I decide to stop arguing with him.

Frances is now sleeping soundly next to me, and on the other hand I am struggle to do just that. I have
just escaped a wolf’s den, yet it seems like I have let myself into a tiger’s lair.

It is more than difficult to escape this tiger’s lair.

In a wave of dizziness, I finally is able to sink into a deep slumber. By the time I wake up again, it’s
already eight o’clock in the morning.

Frances is still asleep. I get up to wash up briefly before trying to wake him up.

However, he remains motionless in bed.
