Chapter 383 She was no longer interested in him!

"Corona!"

Devon was so furious he was about to explode. How dare this woman belittle him, saying he was nothing, less than nothing?!

So, in her eyes, Wilton was just nothing, right?!

"Mr. Burke, do you have any further instructions?! If not, I have things to do, please step aside!"

Thinking of the cruel torment Devon once inflicted on her, Corona was truly afraid of him. But then she realized, her grandmother was already gone, she had nothing left, what could he possibly use to threaten her!

She, too, was no longer afraid!

Devon's pupils suddenly constricted. This woman, upon seeing Wilton, couldn't wait to throw herself into his arms. But when she saw him, she couldn't wait to distance herself from him. This feeling, why was it so unpleasant!

The more Devon thought about it, the more it felt like he was being stabbed in the heart. Not only did he not let her go, but he also reached out a hand and rudely grasped her chin.

He forced her to lift her head, to meet his gaze. He was unwilling to admit the bitterness in his heart was because he cared about her. So, with a stern face, he spoke, "Corona, leave Wilton! You're not worthy of him!"

Corona's laughter became increasingly sarcastic.

She really hadn't considered being with Wilton. Her reputation was too poor, they were people from two different worlds, she wouldn't overestimate her abilities.

Sure, this kind of thing, Devon didn't even need to say it!

"Mr. Burke, I told you, my business is none of your concern!"

"Corona!"

Devon roared out in anger again, he didn't know what was going on. He too was a man who had been running rampant, pointing out the mountains and rivers. However, when facing this woman, his heart was always filled with an indescribable sense of powerlessness.

Devon detested this feeling intensely. He stared fixedly at the stubborn woman in front of him, his eyes filled with gloom.

Seeing the ugly scar on her face, the suffocating feeling in his heart became even more clear, but he suddenly curled his lips, full of malice and cruelty.

His fingertips, with ill intent, slid across her face, finally resting on the grotesque scar on her right cheek.

"What an ugly face!"

The expression on Corona's face froze in an instant. She kept telling herself that she had long stopped loving him. However, such harsh words still made her feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

She knew she was ugly, but when such words were really spoken from others' mouths, it was still a kind of hurt for her.

Her small face had turned as rigid as a stone, yet her body couldn't help but tremble.

Countless voices, like curses, rushed into her ears.

"She was so ugly! How could there be such an ugly woman in the world!"

"Yeah, being ugly wasn't her fault, but scaring people, that was her fault!"

"I really couldn't understand why such an ugly freak had the nerve to work at our club!"

"She was so ugly, disgustingly ugly! I was really worried that she would make the guests cry with her ugliness!"

***

Corona forcefully covered her ears, but those malicious voices still lingered around her, impossible to shake off.

She worked at Lust Club, where she really encountered a lot of harsh treatment. Even her dignity was trampled upon, a double humiliation for both her body and soul.

She gritted her teeth and endured it all.

She thought, she really could, face everything with a light heart. Now, when Devon said she was ugly, she realized, she was actually terrified of others calling her ugly.

She hadn't made any mistakes, she didn't understand, why being ugly, in the end, had become her original sin.

Looking into Corona's eyes suddenly filled with helplessness and pain, Devon felt a pang in his heart. He subconsciously wanted to pull her into his arms. However, thinking of how Wilton had just kissed the scar on her face, and how she was gazing at Wilton with affection, he ultimately suppressed this impulse.

His fingertips maliciously caressed the scar on her face, "Such an ugly face, it's nauseating just to look at it! Corona, with such an ugly face, you still have the nerve to seduce men, you're really brave!"

Devon withdrew his hand from the scar on her face with disgust, "Fucking ugly! So ugly it's sickening!"

The color had drained from Corona's face, but her spine remained perfectly straight.

She lifted her chin, her pale little face looking fragile as if it could not withstand a single blow, yet stubborn as if it were invincible.

"Yes, Mr. Burke, I am ugly! But, what does that have to do with you?! If you're afraid of being disgusted, you can choose not to look! Who forced you to look?! Mr. Burke, the matters between Mr. Norton and I do not require your concern. Please, do not appear before me again in the future!"

Corona's chest heaved violently. Who was to blame for her turning into such an unsightly state?!

It wasn't him, Devon!

Had he not relentlessly pursued her, killed her child, and handed her over to Linda and Lola for torment, would she have turned into this hideous, tasteless figure?!

He ruined her, he was the culprit who drove her to desperation. In this world, the person who had the least right to blame her, was him!

Seeing Devon still holding her tightly, with no intention of letting her go, the hatred in Corona's heart grew stronger. She used all her strength to push him away forcefully.

"Mr. Burke, you said I was ugly, I was disgusting, but how much better could your detestable appearance be!"

"Oh, you said I was shameless, I climbed onto your bed, I disgusted you. But, do you ever know, that appearing on your bed that day, was it not the greatest humiliation of my life, Corona?"

"Mr. Burke, everyone in Sea City thought that I, Corona, was madly in love with you, even going so far as to scheme against you and climb into your bed on the day you got engaged to Linda. But only I knew the truth, I, Corona, am not that cheap!"

"I, Corona, have long since stopped caring about you!"

"You and Linda, a jerk and a cheap woman, are a match made in heaven. I, Corona, look down on you!"

"Corona!" Devon suddenly lunged forward, his hand tightly gripping Corona's neck, wishing he could snap her slender neck, "Say it to me again!"

Neck, was very painful.

But Corona still stubbornly stared at him, speaking word by word, "Mr. Burke, a scumbag man with a cheap woman, I, Corona, look down on you!"

"You look down on me?!" Devon suddenly laughed, his laughter grim and cruel, "You look down on me, so you fancy Wilton, don't you?!"

"Mr. Norton is a hundred times better than you! Mr. Burke, you will never measure up to Mr. Norton!" Corona stated truthfully.

Wilton was indeed better than Devon, at the very least, he wouldn't rub salt in her wounds, calling her ugly, at the very least, he wouldn't, without any hesitation, choose not to trust her.

"I'm not as good as Wilton?! Ha!" Devon's veins bulged in anger, "Corona, did you sleep with Wilton?! Do you think I'm not as good as him in bed?!"

"Corona, '...'" She really didn't understand why some people's thoughts could jump so quickly, inexplicably leading to the bed.

But because she hated Devon too much, she was unwilling to back down to him. She gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, you are not comparable to Mr. Norton!"

To Devon, Corona's words naturally implied that he couldn't compare to Wilton even in bed.

This woman, how dare she!

Alright, since she liked Wilton so much, then today, he would let her see clearly, who between him and Wilton, was truly the stronger one!

Furious, Devon abruptly leaned down and fiercely kissed her lips.
