Chapter 3 Do You Deserve To Be Mrs. Pearson

The nurse at the reception was busy and became annoyed when she heard the questions. But when she looked up and her eyes landed on Kolton, her expression underwent an instant change.

What a good-looking man!

The nurse's cheeks turned red as she replied, "A young woman named Valentina Dixon has been admitted. Are you looking for her? How are you related to her?"

Kolton scowled deeply.

The nurse assumed it was because she had asked him too many questions, so she rushed to clarify, "Please don't misunderstand me. I didn't intend to pry. It's just that Miss Dixon informed us that she has no friends or relatives here.

She said she only had a fiance who cheated on her with a married woman. The woman's husband caught them in bed and beat him to death, so she signed the documents herself before the surgery."

Kolton's face darkened.

So he had an affair with a married woman and was beaten to death by her husband, huh?

Kolton was so enraged that he whirled around and strode out, leaving Valentina alone.

After getting the surgery and receiving some intravenous fluids, Valentina left the hospital against the doctor's medical advice.

Although she was seriously injured, it felt like a mere scratch to her in comparison to the injuries she had sustained in the past.

She was not a flower cultivated in a greenhouse, and she was quite tough.

When Valentina reached home, she spotted Kolton, who was talking on the phone.

When Kolton saw her return, he frowned, and his expression turned unpleasant.

In a very tender tone, he said into the phone, "Don't overthink. Follow the doctor's instructions and rest well. I'll call you later."

It was obvious that he was talking to Sheri.

As soon as he disconnected the call, his expression turned, and his tone was chilly. "Why did you hit Sheri today?"

Valentina was annoyed. She hadn't even had time to warn him against letting his woman provoke her in the future before he took the initiative to blame her.

"Why? Don't you know why? Obviously, it's because she deserved it!"

"She is an actress. Her face is her livelihood. How can you make her miss out on work by attacking her like that?"

"Why should I bother if she can act or not? She knows her face is her bread and butter, but she still doesn't protect herself properly. She approached me to create trouble. She deserved it!"

Kolton pursed his lips and was visibly furious.

"I knew you were born in an ordinary family, but I didn't expect you to be so lacking in manners. Do you think you're worthy of being my wife?"

"Huh?" Valentina's temper flared. "Are you out of mind? Do you really believe that I want to be your wife? If I could end this engagement with you right now, I would be on cloud nine. You can try it out if you don't believe me. Come on, call off the engagement!"

Kolton seethed. "Do you think I would have gotten engaged to you if it wasn't for my grandfather?"

Valentina pursed her lips before retorting, "Do you think I would have gotten engaged to you if it wasn't for my grandfather?"

A sudden silence descended over the room.

Both of them were being forced into this marriage, and neither of them liked the other.

"How did you have the nerve to slap Sheri in public? Do you think you were being reasonable?" Kolton's nostrils flared in anger.

Valentina didn't yield an inch either.

"How dare she abuse me in public? Was she behaving well? If you think it was okay for her to abuse me, then can I do the same to you now?"

"You are so pig-headed! I've never met a woman as thoughtless as you!"

"And I've never met a man as shameless as you in my entire life. You're so old, but you still want to marry a young girl. You're absolutely shameless.

Besides, isn't Sheri your love? So, you can convince your grandfather to end our engagement and marry her. You can't even persuade him to let you marry the girl you like, you loser!"

Shameless?

A loser?

How dare she yell at him like that?

"Valentina Dixon!" Kolton roared.

Valentina couldn't stop the shudder that ran through her. This man looked terrifying when he was angry.

"Why are you screaming? I'm not deaf."

Kolton inhaled deeply and glared at Valentina sullenly for a long time before he spoke again.

"From now on, watch yourself. Don't stir up trouble for Sheri!"

Then Kolton stormed upstairs to the study and slammed the door shut.

Valentina shouted in his direction, "Who was it who started the provocation? You'd better clarify it to Sheri. If she ever bothers me again, I will give her a good beating!"

After Valentina finished her angry rant, she went to the guest bedroom with a pout. She made sure to slam the door louder than Kolton had.
