Twenty minutes later, Mo Yuan's right hand gripped Mary's neck tightly. His eyes were void of any emotion. His expression was colder than a serial killer.
"Ack! I… I didn't me…an… to… huk!" Mary's face turned red due to a lack of oxygen. Fear was visible in her eyes. She attempted to struggle to break free from his tight grasp but failed miserably.
"But you still did," Mo Yuan cruelly stated.
The moment she thought that she was going to die, her slender body was thrown away on a dark, cold floor. She didn't have the time to cry out in pain. As soon as her neck was released, she started coughing vigorously.
She began to think about what she had done wrong to get such a punishment. Her eyes welled up in tears and she wanted to demand an explanation.
However, at that time, a pair of shoes stepped forward and stood in front of Mary. Mary looked up in fear and saw Benjamin. Seeing him, her face brightened up in hope.
She opened her mouth to tell him how miserable she was but before she could do that, she heard, "We were childhood friends but I never recall giving you any false hope to make you my wife or a lover. That's why I dated countless women but never dated you. That should be your lesson."
He added, "After graduation, I introduced Rose to everyone. Just because we were rich and Rose had a humble background, my mother didn't like her. And you, you joined hands with her and tried to break us apart countless times. Even so, I was patient. When I established my own dancing school, I let you become one of my dancing instructors because I thought of you as my friend and I believed in you.
"However, you crossed the limit when my mother arranged the car accident using her driver while you distracted us with your engagement."
That's right, Benjamin's mother and Mary plotted together. Mary arranged a fake engagement and invited him and Rose. Since they were at Benjamin's house, his mom suggested that the driver drive the car.
Benjamin and Rose didn't read too much into it and they agreed. The plan was to make Benjamin leave the car in the middle of the road by telling him ill news and then creating a car accident.
However, Benjamin was in a hurry and forgot to take his cell phone with him and that's why he didn't get any ill news.
Benjamin's mother didn't know that her driver was bribed by Mary. Mary wanted to finish Rose and at the same time, wipe out Benjamin's memory.
However, after the accident that was caused by the driver, the driver died. Benjamin and Rose were heavily injured.
Rose's body fell into the river and drifted away while Benjamin was taken to the hospital.
After Benjamin woke up, the first thing he did was to look for Rose. Ten days later, one of his students found out about Rose's location. He even hired a detective to check the actual reason behind the accident.
When Benjamin learned about his mother and Mary's wrongdoings, he was devastated. He cut ties with his mother and his family and got out of that place.
With whatever money he had, he spent all on Rose's treatment without her knowing. However, after she opened her eyes, they realized that she lost all of her memories. Benjamin also didn't have the money for further treatment.
He couldn't find another way and begged his friends to help Rose. However, his friends turned their faces away from him in his time of need. If they supported him, they would have lost the business support from Benjamin's family. To them, the business mattered more.
Benjamin finally got to know the true color of his friends.
In the end, Benjamin had no money left and he was starving when Mo Zhen approached him.
Mo Zhen offered him food and shelter but in exchange, he had to take care of Mo Zhen's son, Mo Yuan.
Even still, Benjamin had only one wish and that was to help Rose.
Mo Zhen agreed. He contacted Rose, gave her information about her past, and then asked her to become a chef of his house. Rose gladly took this job and only after that, Benjamin became a servant in Mo Zhen's house.
Benjamin did his best to hide Rose from his friends, family, and especially from Mary. The hatred he felt for them knew no boundary.
He was finally getting close to Rose but Mary had done another crime and it cost someone else's life.
Benjamin stared at Mary in disgust. "Tell me what I should do with you."
Mary gave him a begging look, "B-Ben…"
Benjamin continued, "I'm not a forgiving soul anymore. After what Rose and I went through, I've lost my kindness. Since you won't change no matter what, I have to end your life."
Mary's eyes widened in horror. "Ben, please! I won't…. I won't do anything else. Please spare me." Her voice was quivering when she grabbed Benjamin's leg and pulled it.
"Give her the most painful torture and make her beg for her own death," Mo Yuan instructed two men who had abducted Mary as per his request.
"As you wish, Master Mo," they bowed respectfully. After that, they dragged Mary's body as if it was nothing and tied her in a surgical bed.
After the torture started, they could hear her painful screams and begging them to kill her but they didn't listen.
Mary died after experiencing two hours thirty minutes of hellish torture.
Later, Mo Yuan went to his house, bathed, changed his clothes, and went to the hospital.
Seeing Han Luo lying on the bed, his heart ached painfully. He sat on a chair, took her hand in his, and kissed the back of her hand.
He gently whispered, "Ah Luo, I have already punished a bad guy. Won't you wake up now?"
