Chapter 2 Shocked

"What? Are you still going to say that you are not Sean Chu?"

Janice snorted coldly. The surprised look on Murray's face infuriated her.

"If you repeat this, I will divorce you regardless of what Grandpa says!"

She had a little bit of faith in Sean at the beginning that she even considered letting him work in their company.

However, Janice realized that she had overestimated the man.

Sean was a loser. He was fit for nothing.

She had gone through endless humiliation and suffering because of him for the past two years.

Murray felt surprised at first but he soon calmed down and looked at the woman.

He had encountered many strange things in the world, so he soon accepted the fact that there lived a man who looked just like him.

Perhaps Sean was his twin brother.

Although Murray was an orphan, he couldn't eliminate the possibility because he knew that life had strange ways of surprising people.

"Well... I was just kidding, honey." He grinned, deciding to go with the flow.

The poison in his body began to act more frequently in the last few years. He couldn't regain his peak strength unless the poison was fully removed from his body.

Therefore, Murray decided to use the twist in his life to his advantage. He could use the new identity for the time being and go back to his old life when the real Sean came back.

Moreover, he could also investigate the identities of the Death Guards he had met on the cruise ship that day.

"Honey?" Janice's face darkened. She hated the way the man called her as if he truly liked her.

"Who gave you the permission to call me honey?"

Sean had been calling her Ms. Tang ever since they got married. The sudden change in the way he addressed her annoyed Janice. She believed that the man was up to something.

Murray was speechless.

He didn't know her name. How else would he call her?

Janice rolled her eyes when she saw his eyes widen with astonishment yet again.

'Forget it. It's just a term of endearment!' she comforted herself.

Besides, they were married for two years. Janice had finally come to terms with the fact that Sean was her husband.

"You seem fine! Let's go home."

With that, Janice turned around and walked out of the ward.

"Okay!" Murray stood up and followed her.

The woman was beautiful, but she had a bad temper.

He stared at Janice's back in awe as she exuded elegance and grace with every movement.

The woman seemed perfect in every way. If only she were single, Murray would be happy to marry her.

On their way out of the hospital, he saw people gossiping about them.

"That must be Sean Chu. Gosh, he looks handsome!"

"What's the use? He's a loser. I would never date such a man, let alone marry him."

"How does he have the nerve to stay with the Tang family? If I were him, I'd have already left them."

"Yes, I heard that he is a good-for-nothing loser. He always makes trouble for the Tang family."

Janice continued to stride forward, ignoring their comments. However, Murray listened to their every word with rapt attention. He had a better understanding of Sean now.

Murray believed that the beautiful woman was married to a bad guy and wasn't happy with the marriage.

Murray had escaped the accident without any serious injuries. Now that he had finally regained consciousness, Janice took him to the reception and finished all the discharge formalities. Even the doctors were surprised that there was not a bruise or cut on his body despite falling into the sea from a high cliff.

The man smiled and remained silent. After all, he was not the real Sean.

Murray's eyes widened when he saw Janice's limited edition Lamborghini by the gate. The car was worth nearly ten million dollars.

He understood that Janice was not only beautiful but wealthy as well.

Excitement bubbled up as he wondered if he could sleep at home, play games, and happily chase girls at ease during his time here.

After getting into the car, Janice called her grandfather and informed him that Sean was safe and fine. Murray sat in the passenger seat, enjoying the moment.

He didn't expect that his life would change overnight. He not only got a new identity but a beautiful wife as well. Luck was in his favor now.

Janice hung up the phone and scowled at Murray.

"Do you know that Grandpa had a heart attack because of you? If you have a little bit of conscience, please behave yourself. Don't do anything that would upset him."

Fortunately, her grandfather had recovered. Otherwise, Janice would never forgive Sean for what he'd done.

"Don't worry, honey. I won't let you down,"

Murray answered earnestly.

He vowed to eliminate Sean's bad reputation and help him win a good name as compensation for using his identity.

Janice rolled her eyes and looked away. She didn't trust him.

She was tired of listening to empty promises. Sean always said the same after getting into trouble. However, he never kept his word.

Janice had stopped trusting him a long time ago.

Murray propped his chin in the palm of his hand and continued to stare at her. Janice focused on the road, ignoring him.

The more he looked at his new wife, the more he liked her. There was something about the woman.

"Take your obscene eyes off me!" Janice snapped.

Murray was left speechless. Her reaction confused him.

"What's wrong? Why would you call that obscene? I mean, we are married! Aren't we husband and wife?"

"Husband and wife?" Janice gnashed her teeth.

"Don't forget that we are a married couple only to the outside world. But within closed doors, we are just two people who live under the same roof, so don't develop an unnecessary desire for me. I can't divorce you because I don't want Grandpa to get upset."

Everyone in H City knew that the two got married because they had been engaged ever since they were kids.

The truth was, the engagement was only a verbal agreement between the two families. However, Sean had canceled the engagement three years ago. Janice didn't know what her grandfather saw in him. After the Chu family went bankrupt, he forced her to marry Sean. He had threatened to kill himself if she didn't agree to the marriage.

Murray was surprised for the hundredth time.

He had been listening to strange things ever since he woke up on the hospital bed.

From what he heard, Janice and Sean weren't a real married couple.

Murray couldn't help but feel sorry for Sean.

Being a man, he understood what it felt like to have a beautiful woman around him all day and not do anything to her.

Part of him felt happy to find that Janice and Sean were a couple in name only.

"It doesn't matter. We are still husband and wife, aren't we?" Murray leaned against the seat and smiled.

"You..." Janice gripped the steering wheel until her knuckles turned white. She resisted her urge to push him out of the car.

She didn't want to admit her relationship with him at all.

She glared at him and continued to drive.

Murray continued to chat with her on their way, but she remained silent the entire time. Although the disgust in her eyes gradually faded, she chose to ignore him and seemed lost in her own thoughts.

Murray's heart sank. The woman was a tough nut to crack.

However, he didn't lose hope. His desire to win her grew stronger as she continued to ignore him.

Murray glanced out of the window with a meaningful smile as the car whizzed past the roads.

Half an hour later, the Lamborghini stopped at the entrance of Glorious Bay.

Glorious Bay was a famous, posh community in H City. It consisted of high-rise buildings in the periphery and villas in the center.

The Lamborghini passed through the alley and finally stopped in front of one of the villas.

Janice walked out of the car and slammed the door with great force. Murray understood that the woman was still angry. She continued to walk forward without waiting for him.

He arched his brows and stared at her back.

Janice was like the majestic lionesses that he had seen in Africa. She showed her authority and power by yelling at him from time to time.

Murray had never met a woman like her before. Her feisty nature aroused his desire to win her heart.

Janice opened the gate of the villa. A frown lined her forehead when she saw a man walking toward her.
