Escaped My Ex, Got Snatched by His Rival - Chapter 181

Chapter 181: Clever yet foolish
Mrs Harlow thought that she was smart but in front of Master Roman who met liars, thieves, and murderers every day, she was nothing but a fool.

Not to mention, with Mrs Harlow, who had caused his plans to go down the drain because of her selfishness, no matter how truthful her words were, Master Roman had been waiting for a chance to deal with this woman.

Fortunately, the Phantoms were busy tonight, and he was able to sneak past the security of the city.

“You have been quite forgetful with plenty of things, Marcia,” the man clicked his tongue. “I believe that all the mistakes that you have made were also because you had something on your mind?” As he spoke he took a step closer to Mrs. Harlow, who took a step back.

She looked around and found that she was completely trapped. With two walls on her sides and one at her back, there was only one opening for her to escape.

But even that opening was closed off because Master Roman stood there.

Mrs Harlow knew that she couldn’t run away. She turned to face Master Roman and flatteringly said, “Master Roman, I know that you are upset, but I promise you that I will hand that girl to you under any circumstances——ah!”

A cry of agony escaped her lips as she fell to the ground. Mrs Harlow didn’t understand what was going on but as she touched her cheek that was stinging and swelling, she realized what just happened.

“M..master Roman?” Mrs Harlow squeaked. She didn’t expect that the man would slap her and that too, this harshly that he knocked her off her footing.

“It seems like you do not understand what I am saying. What a pity that you have lost your cognitive abilities so soon,” the man sighed as he crouched down in front of Mrs Harlow. His hand reached forward, and Mrs Harlow flinched in fright.

She was worried that he was going to slap her again.

“Shh, don’t fret. I will not hit you,” Master Roman comforted the woman as he cupped her cheeks and rubbed the pad of his glove-covered thumb on her lips. “Marcia, what did I tell you when I gave you the money and asked the girl in exchange, do you remember?”

Mrs Harlow was quaking in her heels. Even though the man did not raise his voice nor did he hit her, each word of his made Mrs Harlow tremble.

She licked her lips and stammered out, “Y…You asked me to keep Ariana safe and her virtue intact. Yo… You also asked me that no matter what, no man should get close to her.”

“Call him master!” The man behind Master Roman reprimanded Mrs Harlow, who jumped and immediately changed her words.

“Master also asked me to break her mind and soul,” stated Mrs Harlow as she repeated the things that Master Roman said to her when he gave her millions of dollars.

“That’s right, Marcia. I am glad that you can still remember the things that I said to you, even when so many years have passed,” Master Roman praised Mrs Harlow, but it only ignited the fear inside Mrs Harlow to become even more intense.

She felt the man’s hand skim over her face and reach up to caress her hair. Two seconds later, however, she winced as the man’s fingers were knotting in her hair, and he was pulling the strands of her rosy hair harshly.

“Then pray tell me, Marcia…how come you couldn’t even do something so simple hmm?” Master Roman asked with a sweet yet powerful voice. “I didn’t say a word when you let the woman who belongs to me marry another man.”

“I even helped your daughter keep her position in the heart of that foolish man by feeding her ideas that her idiotic mind could have never come up with.”

Master Roman pulled Mrs Harlow’s hair until she was looking at him with pleading eyes.

However, the fury in his heart was enough to wipe out whatever sympathy he had left with as a human.

He tugged on the strands of her hair and Mrs Harlow cried out loud.

“After you and your daughter messed up, I only asked you to keep that woman in the Nelson family. All you had to do was to keep her there until I could get her,” Master Roman’s eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Master Roman knew that the woman in front of him was not only foolish but inexplicably greedy. She did not have the means, but she wanted things that were out of her reach. But it worked for him as he could buy the girl who would be the perfect substitute for his lover whom he could never see again.

If Ariana was not from the Harlow family, and he needed the hands of these people to do his bidding, he would have shot them dead ages ago.

“You are as idiotic as you think you are clever,” Master Roman breathed, he held a strong distaste in his mouth because he was not someone who bothered himself with fools lest talk to them. “Your daughter is the same. Both of you are greedy idiots who don’t know when to retreat. I asked you to control your eldest daughter, have her understand that she shouldn’t provoke Ariana.”

“So why did she kiss that man!? Is she so eager to spread her legs and take the manhood of a man? Shall I help her arrange a few ?” Master Roman sneered. He stood up while looking down at Mrs Harlow like she was a bug to be squashed under his feet.

“No! Please!” Mrs Harlow could sell Ariana away because she held intense disgust for that girl from the second she was born.

If not for her, she wouldn’t have almost lost her life and her womb wouldn’t have to be cut off from her body.

But Ariel was her life. Her flesh and blood. She couldn’t watch her getting ruined.

“I beg you, please leave her alone. She was foolish, I admit it, but that child did not know anything,” Mrs Harlow threw herself at Master Harlow’s feet and besought to him.
