Revenge Is the Best Wedding Gift Chapter 21

Revenge Is the Best Wedding Gift Chapter 21

At first I didn’t understand why.

Until the day Rafe lay in the hospital bed with a high fever from acute gastritis, still unconsciously calling my name.

In that instant, all the suffering and torment, hatred and love, suddenly became meaningless.

Before, Rafe could use cheating and humiliation to get revenge on me and make me want to die, simply because I loved him with all my heart.

Now, what I was doing to him—how was it different from that malicious version of him?

We were both just using the other’s love to exercise our sadistic privileges without restraint.

Sitting in the hospital all night, when dawn broke on the horizon, I looked at his handsome face again and felt nothing in my heart.

Since I no longer loved or hated him, this game of mutual torture should end.

However, I still had to settle accounts with Victoria.

I secretly contacted Victoria, asking if she wanted to bet with me—win and she could legitimately become Mrs. Grey and be with Rafe forever.

She looked at me suspiciously like guarding against a thief:

“I betrayed you twice and nearly killed you. Would you really be so kind as to help me rise to power?”

I smiled sarcastically:

“Haven’t I helped you enough before?”

Her eyes flickered as she smiled too:

“Lavinia, I do hate you to the bone and am insanely jealous of you. But I have to admit, you really are the person who’s been best and most sincere to me in this world.”

Under my repeated guidance, Victoria finally believed my story, thinking I wanted to use her to get rid of the madman Rafe.

She thought I was still the naive, stupid Lavinia from five years ago who only knew how to cry and ask why.

So I went with the flow and gave her a spectacular gift. Just as I walked out of the estate gate, I pressed send, turning the evidence of how she twice schemed to seduce her best friend’s husband into a beautiful PDF and mass-mailing it to her parents, relatives, and all the executives at the Wall Street investment bank where she worked.
