Chapter 16
Fenny Chow suddenly removed her jacket, revealing only a small tank top underneath. The sight that greeted me was a mass of dark bruises, clearly from being beaten badly. “Ponto Spencer is a monster. Ever since he left here, he’s been heating me every day.” she sobbed.
He says it’s all my fault, that 1 seduced him. Yes, it’s true I flirted with him, pretended to
him. But if he had stayed resolute, how could I have succeeded? This kind of thing takes two to tango. Why is it only my fault?
“I didn’t want to come this time,” she continued, tears streaking down her face. “But he said if I didn’t come, he would kill me. He said if I came and you forgave me, he would be good
to me. I had no choice,”
Though I didn’t like t’enny Chow, seeing her in such a pitiful state made me feel some sympathy, Because in some ways, she wasn’t wrong–Ponto Spencer was the root cause of
my divorce. It was him who couldn’t keep his boundaries.
Even without Fenny, there would be Fendi, Fennie, Winnie. From this perspective, Fenny
had “freed” me.
I felt a flicker of pity, but before I could say anything, Fenny continued,
“I know why you’ve kept yourself in shape. It’s because you love Ponto Spencer. So, if you forgive me and give me some money, I’ll leave him, and he’ll come back to you.”
“I’m a woman, too, I understand. Even though you have all the wealth in the world, deep down, you’re still madly in love with Ponto Spencer. You’re doing this to hurt me. I’ve been hurt by you, and I give up.”
“Can’t I just leave?”
I rolled my eyes inwardly.
As expected, the pitiful always have their reasons. But for someone like her, I had no reason or intention to help. She didn’t think she was wrong at all.
