William was shocked at the impact.
"You are such a freak, William!" Mary cursed angrily.
"Mary..." William said softly. He then looked up at her and continued, "How do you feel now? If it helps you vent your anger, go ahead and beat me a few more times!"
"You..." Mary sputtered. She looked at him, dazed, before she said coldly, "I stained my hand touching you."
She glared at him, turned around, and left.
William continued to stare at her retreating back, standing there, unmoving, for a long time. Guilt and infatuation were bubbling up within him.
Andy hid behind the corner, an incredible look on her face. Mary was back!
Mary had been too reckless today. She shouldn't have gone to see William. How could she have allowed him to take advantage of her for no reason at all?
"Damn it!" Mary angrily stabbed the fork into the rice.
"Mommy, you look scary!" Elissa said, her eyes round with worry as she looked at Mary.
"Mommy, did someone piss you off today?" Alick asked, sitting up on the chair.
At these questions from the kids, Mary came to her senses. She smiled reassuringly as she said, "I encountered something unhappy today. Mommy is a little angry, but only a little."
"Mommy, please don't be angry," said Alick. "When I grow up, I will help Mommy teach them a lesson."

aying went, 'Two of a trade can never agree'. William walked to the study and turned on the computer.
Barry Gu, born in Z City in 19XX, graduated from Z University and went abroad for further studies. He was the CEO of the GM Universing Studios in China.
William looked at his picture before scrolling on to his other details. He was in the same company with Mary.
Wait! Z University? He scrolled back up.
William was stunned. Mary had graduated from that university too!
William immediately called Virgil. "Check Barry Gu's information now. I need details. Send it to my e-mail."
"Yes, sir."
William could feel something gnawing at his insides.
"Ding!"
Minutes later, an email popped up on the computer screen, and William hurried to open it.
He had really graduated from the same university as Mary!
As he scrolled through the document, William's face darkened more with each scroll.
He was her ex-boyfriend! How could Mary fall in love with him? They had also been regarded as the most suitable couple in Z University. William was pissed.
Damn it!
His jealousy was pouring out as he muttered, "He doesn't deserve her! They don't match one bit. Look at Mary and my wedding photos! We are a perfect match! How can someone not understand this? It's so simple!"
And they had lived in America for four years? William's brow cleared in an instant.
There was something wrong here. Barry must still like Mary. 'Oh no. This cannot be!'
