Chapter 94 She Loves Everyone Except Him (1/2)

Sherry read the title of the newspaper and checked the photos that were taken secretly as she tried to calm down.

She turned to look at Jeremy, swallowed and said, ”Don't be angry. Calm down and listen to me.”

”I am listening!” he replied, but his tone was still as irritable as before.

She could easily guess what was going to happen next. Even though he said that he would listen to her explanation, he was furious.

”I was with Steve because of Linda. She likes him. How can I allow her to be with a man like Steve? I only did this to make Steve promise that he would not badger Linda anymore,”

Sherry tentatively explained. She just had to.

After all, he had done so much for her in the past few days. Her heart was not made of stone. She was still moved by his actions.

A cold smile crept on Jeremy's face, as if Sherry had just said a joke which was not very funny.

”Sherry... Do you think I'm stupid?” He squinted at her, disappointed and angry.

Sherry immediately shook her head and continued to explain frantically, ”I swear it's the truth!”

He swiftly grabbed the newspaper from her hands and threw it into the backseat. Then, he grabbed her neck from the back and forced her to come closer to him.

”This was all for Linda? It's such a ridiculous excuse! You couldn't come up with anything better than that? Why do you trample on my love, Sherry?”

he roared at her; her eardrums almost shattered. She closed her eyes to resist the anger in his face.

”No! I didn't mean to...” she stammered, shaking her head. ”I really did it for Linda. Steve and I made a deal.”

”Then, what about all these photos? How can you let other men treat you like this? Are you willing to accept men like Steve?”

He put his forehead against hers roughly. His loud, hoarse voice made her head hurt.

”I don't know. I was set up!”

He quickly let go of her neck, got out of the car and slammed the door shut.

As soon as she was free from his grip, she took a deep breath. But then, she saw Jeremy pulling off his tie as he walked towards her side of the car. He yanked open the door with all his strength.

”What are you going to do?” She looked at him in horror.

Without saying a word, Jeremy grabbed her left hand and tried to get her other hand too.

Aware of his intention, Sherry flinched backwards and slapped him instinctively with her free hand. ”Don't do this!”

But he clenched both her hands and used his tie to bond her.

”Let go of me! How can you treat me like this?” Sherry tried to kick him, and her high heels almost made contact with his leg.
