Chapter 436

He chuckled softly, with a touch of self-mockery.

I lowered my eyes nervously and asked him in a low voice, “What about you? Do you have any impression of me, like… did I say anything offensive to you back then?”

He impatiently furrowed his brows and said in a flat tone, “Just say what you want to say.”

I didn’t beat around the bush either. I asked him directly, “Back then, did I… call you garbage?”

He hesitated for two seconds, then smirked at me and said mockingly, “Interesting, when did Ms. Duffy’s memory become so good again?”

Since he said so, there must be something going on.

I looked at him and said seriously, “I was young and foolish back then. I apologize to you here, and I hope you won’t take those words to heart. Actually, in my eyes, you are very capable, not garbage at all.”

“Heh…”

Reynaldo looked down and smiled lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes and eyebrows. “Is it because I am successful now that you deliberately say such things to please me? Actually, in your heart, I have always been garbage, right?”

I shook my head hastily and said, “Of course not. At that time, I had some prejudice against you because of the negative comments from people around me. I just said, I apologized to you, I hope you don’t hold onto this matter anymore. After all, it’s been so many years.”

“Is an apology useful?”

Reynaldo looked at me coldly and sneered, “And don’t you think your apology is very late and insincere?”

When he said this, there was a sneer on his handsome face, and his eyes were filled with surging hatred. My heart tightened involuntarily, and I inexplicably thought of the night of the class reunion.

I asked him, “Just because I called you garbage back then, you held a grudge against me, so at the class reunion later, you had already targeted me and deliberately created an appearance of having a relationship with me, right?”

Reynaldo did not answer my question. He just slowly raised the corners of his lips at me.

That smile sent a chill through my heart and a shiver down my spine.

In this way, Vonnie’s guess was correct. That night of the class reunion, it was he who deliberately planned it.

Oh my god, this man is too scary. Just because I unintentionally insulted him as trash, he was willing to risk his own happiness, even willing to become my husband against my will, just to cling to me and ruin my life. How strong was his desire for revenge in the end? Was he mentally unstable?

Thinking of this, I shuddered all over.

I shrank to the side, trembling, and said to him in a trembling voice, “You are really scary!”

“Scary?” He chuckled softly, “Is this scary? You haven’t seen anything scarier yet.”

He said, and suddenly reached out his hand to me.

I reflexively slapped his hand away and said, “Don’t touch me!”

His hand was pushed to the side by me, his long fingers curling slightly. He slowly raised the corners of his mouth and sneered at me, “Look, apologizing to me for what? It’s just because you see that I am successful now, deliberately saying those things to please me. If I were still despised by everyone as before, Ms. Duffy probably wouldn’t even look at me, this trash, in the eye.”

Reynaldo’s face was full of mockery, and the hatred in his eyes never dissipated.

I gritted my teeth and said angrily, “I admit, I was wrong to call you trash in the first place, but did you have to risk your own happiness to ruin my life?”
