Forced to Marry the Sickly Billionaire
Chapter 143 Fainting

Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Fainting

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Serena Summers accidentally bumped into the wall, and used it to prop herself up to barely avoid falling.

She looked at Elena Ryan coldly, "What? Can’t handle it? Even if Vincent Shaw really cheated back then, you have no right to place all the blame on Lucas Shaw."

Elena Ryan suddenly lifted her eyes which were bloodshot with rage.

She screamed furiously: "Nonsense! It’s all because of him! Without him, Vincent Shaw would not have drifted away from me! Lucas Shaw does not deserve to live in this world at all!"

Liam Shaw furrowed his brow and chided coldly: "Mom, have you had enough? Serena is right, without Lucas, you would have died long ago! The poison in your body was absorbed by Lucas when he was a fetus!"

Had it not been for Lucas Shaw absorbing a part of the poison back then, Elena Ryan would not have survived.

But Elena Ryan, as if possessed by madness, put all the blame on Lucas Shaw, believing that his arrival caused Vincent Shaw to cheat.

Furthermore, Liam Shaw added, "And, back then dad didn’t cheat at all. You were just too sensitive."

Back then, Vincent Shaw and Elena Ryan were deeply in love, and apart from his own wife, Shaw would not give another woman a second glance.

It wasn’t until later that the woman Elena Ryan called a "nightmare" appeared.

This woman harbored love for Vincent Shaw and was jealous of Elena Ryan, so she secretly approached her and brainwashed her.

Elena Ryan had never doubted her husband before, but under the brainwashing of that woman, she started to become more and more sensitive.

She even suspected her husband of cheating every day.

She started doing some extreme things, like sending private investigators to follow him, making dozens of calls a day.

Once, Vincent Shaw left his phone in the office during a meeting and didn’t reply in time, and Elena Ryan, like a madwoman, rushed to Shaw Group to "catch the cheater".

She even threatened suicide, pressuring Vincent Shaw to fire all the female employees in the company.

Who could withstand such a pathological possessiveness and paranoid love?

However, Vincent Shaw deeply loved Elena Ryan and immediately did as she requested in order to appease her temperament.

For a long time after that, not even a female mosquito could be seen in Shaw Group.

Yet Elena Ryan did not simmer down, instead, she became even more outrageous.

What truly led to the collapse of their relationship was Lucas Shaw.

One day, Vincent Shaw came home from work early and found his wife, whom he loved deeply, ruthlessly abusing Lucas Shaw who was still in swaddling clothes.

She vented all her resentment onto Lucas Shaw.

Lucas Shaw, who was not yet one year old, was covered in bruises and burns from cigarette butts.

Busy with work, Vincent Shaw could not attend to these trifles, but in his eyes, Elena Ryan had always been a gentle and kind woman.

It can only be imagined what a shock it was for Vincent Shaw to witness Elena Ryan, with a fierce and repulsive demeanor, abusing their own son.

From that moment on, he knew that what Elena Ryan did could no longer be described as unreasonable.

She had become a complete lunatic.

After hearing Liam Shaw’s account, Serena Summers felt pangs of dull pain in her chest.

So her husband had suffered so much when he was a child. At that time, how old was he? He didn’t even know how to cry out in pain, yet he was repeatedly abused and hurt by his own biological mother.

Liam Shaw let go of Elena Ryan and spoke in a cold voice: "That night our parents had a fight. It was also from that day on, dad started to be seen with various women, spreading rumors, living a life of debauchery."

Elena Ryan covered her face, slowly crouching down.

Tears uncontrollably streamed from her eyes, as if they were scalding her.

Her heart felt as if it had been slashed by a sharp blade, aching intensely.

She shook her head desperately, "No, it’s not like this! Vincent loves me! It’s all because of Lucas Shaw; only after I had Lucas did he start to dislike me!"

"Mom, at a time like this, are you still deluding yourself? Lucas has already suffered enough, do you have to push him to his death to be satisfied?"

Liam Shaw looked at Elena Ryan with disappointment filling his gaze.

"Liam, how can you say that to your mother?" Elena Ryan widened her eyes in disbelief, tears brimming.

Liam Shaw averted his gaze, his eyes filled with coldness, "Mom, Grandpa has been tolerating you all these years to avoid upsetting you. But that doesn’t mean everything you’ve done is right."

Serena Summers chimed in: "Without Lucas Shaw, you would have been long dead. The person least qualified to hate him in this world is you."

After speaking, Serena Summers left without looking back, going downstairs.

Her chest seemed to be filled with a searing rage; Serena Summers felt suffocated from the discomfort.

The poison that had been hard to suppress surged up once again like a tide. Serena Summers’ vision darkened, and her body fell straight towards the ground.

Just as her body was about to hit the ground, she suddenly fell into a warm embrace.

"Serena."

A deep, magnetic voice sounded above her head, and Serena Summers’ consciousness gradually blurred, completely succumbing to unconsciousness.

Elena Ryan, who had just walked downstairs and saw someone barge in, immediately changed in color.

She hastened her pace towards the man, asking coldly: "Who are you? Who let you in?"

Edward Selwyn stood tall, holding Serena Summers tight in his arms, and his dark, deep eyes were filled with bone-chilling coldness.

"Serena was pampered and cherished as she grew up; is this how you treat her?"

Edward Selwyn’s icy gaze fell on Elena Ryan, wishing he could tear her apart.

He had investigated everything that happened to Serena Summers after she came to the Shaw Family and knew that Elena Ryan’s attitude towards Serena was poor.

But he never expected the Shaw Family to be so ungrateful and heartless.

Taking out their lifesaving medicine for Lucas Shaw, but how did the Shaw Family treat him in return?

She was drenched, and the Shaw Family didn’t even give her time to change clothes.

No one even noticed when the poison took effect.

Edward Selwyn felt like he was about to explode with anger.

If it weren’t for Serena Summers’ condition being too poor, he would never let the Shaw Family off easily.

"I, Edward Selwyn, have taken note of this debt. I’ll settle the accounts with you one by one another day," Edward Selwyn sneered, walking towards the door with Serena Summers in his arms.

However, just after taking a few steps, he was suddenly stopped.

Liam Shaw rushed forward, asking coldly: "President Selwyn, Serena is a member of the Shaw Family; you have no right to take her away."

"To leave her here, and watch her die from the poison with your own eyes?" Edward Selwyn sneered, his gaze sharp as a hawk’s.

Liam Shaw’s body stiffened slightly, "What do you mean by that, President Selwyn?"

"Liam Shaw, you’re a medical student too, haven’t you realized that Serena has the same poison in her body as Lucas Shaw?"

Liam Shaw’s gaze slowly shifted downward, landing on the petite and fragile figure in Edward Selwyn’s embrace.
