Chapter 58 Benedict's Impulse

Back when Thomas got locked up, it was because of her. He acted impulsively to protect her, hurt someone, and ended up behind bars because of the severity of the situation... As Cordelia recalled those events, those memories remained an undisclosed pain in her heart. Benedict's icy eyes gathered a glint of coldness, sharp as a blade, as they fell upon Cordelia's delicate face. A sense of betrayal and humiliation surged within him. The thing he despised most in his life was betrayal! Benedict grabbed Cordelia's hand, a cold snort escaping him. "You married me and still can't let go of your lover outside?" Cordelia sensed the anger emanating from him, a wild beast unrestrained, ready to devour her. She wasn't foolish enough to provoke Benedict at this moment. "No! He's just a friend!"
