Chapter 10
Barry stubbornly held me back and wouldn’t let me leave.
My colleagues saw him pestering me and came over to mock him.
“Hey, isn’t he the majestic vice president? Why would he condescend to come here?”
“Oh, I guess he’s here to escape. After all, he was scolded so badly!”
“Is he planning to rekindle lost love after being abandoned by his new lover?”
“Unfortunately, Mia is not a junk collector!”
The anger that everyone had been holding back for me was vented out on Barry without any hesitation.
“Get out of here, you bastard!”
“If you dare to touch Mia again, I will pierce your hand!”

Chapter 10
As Grace saw Barry, her eyes turned red with anger immediately.
Barry shifted his gaze to those who were mocking him. Even though he felt extremely humiliated, he continued to admit his mistakes through gritted teeth.
“Mia, do you have to humiliate me like this? If this can make you forgive me, then I will let you beat and scold me at will!”
I took a deep breath and said slowly, “Barry, do you know that you look terrible now? If I look at you for one more second, I will feel like vomiting!”
His face turned pale because of my words.
“Mia, how can you be so cruel? We have been in love for ten years. What do you take me for?”
I was so shocked by his roar that I started to wonder if he was possessed by a ghost.
Was it his attitude of admitting his mistake and asking for forgiveness?

He couldn’t stand it when everyone
defended me and made some sarcastic
remarks.
Then what did his betrayal in the past two years mean?
I didn’t want to argue with him about who was right or wrong.
From the moment I decided to elope, we had no relationship anymore.
“Barry, the past is gone. Please leave here!”
He held my arm tightly and wouldn’t let go.
“Mia, no one is perfect. Can’t you give me another chance? I promise I will never lie to you again!
“I have paid enough medical expenses for your mother, and I have severed ties with Neil. What do you want me to do now?”
He took out a sparkling diamond ring from his trouser pocket and knelt on one knee. “Mia, marry me, okay?”

It reminded me of the day when he proposed to Neil.
The scene of them kissing passionately and sneering at me reappeared in my mind.
But at this moment, I didn’t feel miserable.
anymore.
What they did to me caught me off guard, but now I was immune to it.
As I was about to refuse, a little boy rushed
out.
He snatched the diamond ring and threw it into the trash can.
“You bad guy, don’t even think about bullying Mia! Get out of here!”
