Revenge Against My Ex-husband

Chapter 227 Beating Her at Her Own Game (3)

The next morning, Marie went to the hospital. As soon as she entered, she ran into Tommy. After going

back, Tommy's anger had been building up at the thought of how his mother had drugged Cecilia. The

more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He had not dared to tell Cecilia that his

mother was the one who had caused her miscarriage. With no one to talk to, he had no choice but to

go to his friend, Sam, to complain.

Tommy did not tell Sam the full truth either. He did not dare to mention that his biological mother was

Loraine, or that she worked as a nanny for Edric. He just briefly said that his mother had objected to

him and Rosa being together. Additionally, when he did not listen, his mother had drugged Rosa and

caused her to have a miscarriage and large blood loss. He even told Sam that his mother had told the

doctor not to tell him the real reason behind the miscarriage because she did not want him to find out. If

Tommy had not overheard that discussion the other day, he would never have known.

"Could it be a misunderstanding? How could your mother harm your child?" Sam had a look of disbelief

on his face, "Could it be that she had been aggravated by someone else?"

"She did it. She has already admitted it," Tommy shook his head, "Who would provoke her anyway?"

"It's hard to say. Maybe your mother had complained about it to her friend, and that friend gave her that

idea," Sam asked tentatively, "Is your mother close to that doctor?"

"They're pretty close!" Tommy replied.

"Do you think it's possible that the doctor was the one who had put the idea into your mother's head?

Haven't you always praised your mother for treating you so well? I mean, who would harm their own

kin? Although you're quite old, you have no other children No matter how cruel your mother is, there's

no way she would want to kill off her own grandchild. However, a doctor is different. They've seen too

much of life and death so they're numb to it."

Tommy felt like Sam's words made sense. Naturally, he knew a little bit about the affairs between his

mother, Marie and Deborah. Marie was a horrid woman. Margaret had treated her so well yet she had

the audacity to harm Edric. Why wouldn't she do the same to Tommy? It was very possible that his

mother did indeed discuss this matter with Marie, and Marie had given her the idea.

Sam continued adding fuel to the fire as he spoke. The more Tommy thought about it, the more he felt

like it must be so. It must have been Marie who had incited this plan.

Sam decided to give him a suggestion. He told Tommy that doctors earned a pretty high salary. Since

he had already fallen to this point, he should at least go get some compensation back from that doctor

to recover his losses.

Tommy had been very short of money lately. Upon hearing Sam's suggestion, his eyes lit up. From

what he knew, Marie was just a doctor, and she had no powerful figure backing her up so he had

nothing to worry about. Once he set his mind to it, he went to visit the hospital. When he saw Marie

come in, he stopped her and said, "I've been waiting a long time for you!"

"What are you doing here?" Marie frowned when she saw Tommy.

"What am I doing? Aren't you ashamed to ask me why? Let me ask you, were you the one who

provoked my mother to give my wife a Plan B pill?"

"What nonsense are you on about?" Marie reached out and shoved Tommy away.

"Nonsense? You shameless old b*tch. People become doctors to save lives, but you have become a

doctor to murder people. My wife almost died because of you. I'm warning you, I'm not going to let this

slide!" Tommy grabbed Marie by her collar.

"Let go of me! Let's talk about this calmly!" Marie started to panic. She could not let anyone else know

about her collusion with Loraine. So, she softened her tone, "Let's talk over there."

Seeing that she had lowered her voice, Tommy thought that she was feeling guilty. He had come to her

for money anyways so he followed her to a quiet corner, "How are you going to solve this problem?"

"I'm telling you, I didn't harm your wife. I played no part in that," Marie tried to persuade him.

"You played no part in that? Do you think that I'm just a three-year-old?" Tommy's voice suddenly rose.

"Keep your voice down. That really has nothing to do with me. That day, your mother had come to me

and asked me to help conceal it."

"Save it. My mother is nowhere near as vicious as you. You hurt Margaret and Edric, and you're evil

right down to your bones. It must have been you who had incited my mother!" Tommy refused to listen

to her explanations, "My wife is in this state now and my child is gone You'd better f*cking compensate

me! If you don't, then I'll spread the word and let everyone know what a piece of sh*t you are!"

Marie understood that Tommy was trying to blackmail her. She felt hatred in her heart and thought,

"How did that b*tch Loraine raise such an a*shole?"

However she did not dare to offend him. As the saying went, a man who had nothing, feared nothing.

Tommy was a gangster now, and he had nothing to his name so he had nothing to lose. Meanwhile,

she was a renowned doctor. If this matter blew up, she would not benefit from it. Or worse yet, if

Tommy brought up the matters about her and Loraine, and word of it got to Edric, she would be

doomed.

Marie held back her anger and asked Tommy how much he wanted. He stretched out two fingers, "Two

hundred thousand dollars?" Marie asked tentatively.

Tommy had originally just planned to get twenty thousand dollars from her. Unexpectedly, she offered

him way more. He nodded immediately. Marie lowered her voice and said, "I don't have so much

money on me now. I will call you when I have gathered enough money."

Tommy left the hospital after Marie's promise. Marie was really upset. She was on a spout of bad luck

recently. First, Malcolm had left her and got back together with his wife. He had even kicked her out so

now she was basically homeless. Then, Tommy came to blackmail her. How much worse could things

get?

"No, I can't just let him walk all over me. Tommy is just some loser. How can I let him threaten me?

Plus, if there's a first time, there'll be a second time. He might come back for more money again. If he

starts to cling on to me, then what do I do? I have to think of a way to get rid of him permanently," she

thought to herself.

After work, Marie paid a visit to where Logan stayed. Logan and Deborah were both surprised that she

had come over at that hour, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong with Lily?"

"Lily is fine. I'm the one who's in trouble," Marie told Deborah about Tommy's threat to her. When

Deborah heard that Tommy was threatening Marie, and that he was dating Rosa, she felt like

something was wrong. After all, the two of them were aunt and nephew, so how could they become a

couple? Something was amiss.

Loranie would never let her own son get together with his aunt. Rosa's child might not even have been

Tommy's. Perhaps they were faking the entire thing to scam Marie out of some money. Be it they were

dating or were relatives, it was a huge threat to her either way.

After the incident, she was even more sure that the unknown people who had sent the letter must have

been Tommy and Rosa. With two such threatening presence around, how could she be at ease?

Deborah furrowed her brows as a wicked gaze surfaced in her eyes, "We can't let him live. If this

continues, it'll end badly for us. We must find a way to get rid of him!"

"That's what I thought too, so I'm here to discuss with you about what to do," Marie agreed with

Deborah's proposal.

"I have a way. Isn't he asking for money? Let's use that against him. We'll entrap him by inviting him out

under the guise of giving him money. Then, we'll bury him six feet under without anyone ever knowing!"

Deborah sneered.

Deborah, Marie and Logan chatted away about how to finish Tommy off. Meanwhile, Tommy was

completely oblivious to the danger ahead of him as he dreamed of his upcoming riches.

Marie bought a disposable SIM card to call Tommy and she invited him out to discuss the money.

Gleefully, Tommy headed to the agreed spot. On his way over, he felt like the money was too easy to

attain. Next time, he had to find another chance to blackmail Marie again so that he could obtain more

money to spend.

When he arrived at the appointed place, Tommy impatiently asked Marie to hand him the money. Marie

pretended to talk to him while leading him to a secluded place. Logan, who had been waiting for him,

suddenly rushed out and gave Tommy a heavy blow to knock him out. Then, they took him into a

rundown house in the suburbs that had been abandoned for a long time. At the same time, Deborah

used Tommy's phone to send a message to Rosa. She told Rosa to meet Tommy in the park and that

he had a surprise for her.

Tommy had always been pretty romantic when it came to Rosa. He often sent her flowers and had

even planned fireworks for her before. Naturally, Rosa just assumed that Tommy had prepared another

romantic event for her so she headed to the location stated in the text.

There was no one around and she felt a chill down her back. However, love was much more powerful

than fear. Although she was afraid, she kept going. Marie and the others were lurking in the shadows.

As soon as they saw her, they knocked her unconscious and brought her to the suburbs as well.

Tommy woke up when he felt a cold bucket of water wash over his head. No one liked having their

entire body soaked after all. So, as soon as he woke up, he cursed, "You dare to pour water over me?

Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

A sharp laughter rang in his ear, "Kid, I'll send you to hell right now. I'll let you have a taste of your own

medicine!"

The voice was so familiar. Tommy looked over and saw Deborah. However, she did not look like the

elegant wife of a politician anymore. There were a few scars on her face and she was dressed plainly.

There was also a limp in her leg as she walked.

Tommy tried to stand up when he saw her, only to find that he was tied up and was unable to move at

all. He looked at Deborah warily, "What are you trying to do to me?"

"What do you think I want to do to you?" Deborah smiled sinisterly at him, "Don't you feel uneasy when

you see me like this?"

"How did you become like this?" Tommy asked.

"Aren't you ashamed to ask me how I became like this? Isn't this all because of you?" Deborah stared

at Tommy fiercely and said, "You little b*stard, how dare you send an anonymous letter to threaten me?

It's your fault that I've become like this. I will stop at nothing to skin you alive today."

Seeing the fierce look in her eyes, Tommy immediately changed his tone, "I didn't do it. Madam

Deborah, you've misunderstood the situation!"

"We'll find out soon enough if it was a misunderstanding," Deborah sneered. "That b*tch, Rosa, will be Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

brought here soon. I'll see how you will deny it then."

"Who is Rosa?"

"You don't know who Rosa is? Then, I'm sure you know who Cecilia is right?" Deborah laughed, "Do

you dare deny that she was the one who asked you to plot against me?"

"Why did you bring her here? She has nothing to do with this matter," Tommy's feelings for Rosa were

sincere. Looking at the ruthless look on Deborah's face, he started to get anxious.

"We'll find out whether she was involved in the matter or not. Don't worry!" Deborah was playing with a

fruit knife in her hand, staring at Tommy coldly. In the past, Tommy and Deborah had often seen each

other. Back then, Deborah had been the wife of a politician. She always had a gentle smile on her face

and spoke softly. She had looked classy and elegant. However, the current Deborah had a face full of

rage, her gaze piercing and the scars on her face exemplified how scary she looked.

Tommy felt chills run down his spine under her gaze. Suddenly, the sound of a car outside could be

heard. Soon, Logan came in, dragging Rosa behind him. Marie also followed closely behind.
