Love At The Right Price

Chapter 45

“Ah!” Tamara heard a shout and the weight in her hand suddenly disappeared.

Her heart skipped a beat. She immediately looked behind and saw Lily sitting on the floor not far away from her. Lily’s hand was slashed and it was covered in blood, while the fruit knife, which was also covered with her blood, lay on the floor nearby. The woman was in so much pain that her body trembled as she stared in the direction of the door.

Tamara followed her gaze and looked in that direction. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“That was exciting.” A voice rang out, which was followed by applause. A man with a tall build walked toward Tamara, and he was followed by a small figure.

“Why are you guys here?” Tamara was surprised.

Tim ran up to her and hugged her, his expression glum with a hint of fear. “Mommy, if we hadn’t come, you would have been hurt again today.”

Tamara, who was aware that Tim was diverting her attention, turned to look at Frank, who curled up the corner of his lips. “Let’s talk about this later.”

Tamara looked at Lily’s blood-stained hand and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

At one glance, she could obviously tell that Lily had attempted to launch a sneak attack at her with the knife but had failed. The accident had inflicted such a serious injury on Lily, and if the knife were to land on Tamara…

In hindsight, Tamara couldn’t help but to feel scared, so she darted a look at Frank in gratitude.

However, the sudden scene caused both Evan and Lily to gape at them. The next second, Lily, who was slumped on the floor, burst into a guffaw like a mad woman.

She had initially thought that Tamara had hooked up with some rich man, but judging from Tim’s age and the similarity between Tim and Frank’s features, as well as the way Tim addressed Tamara as ‘Mommy, it was obvious who Frank was.

“Mommy’? Tamara, you actually gave birth to the male escort’s son and even raised him up? Does he know how lowly his origin is?”

Upon hearing that, Tamara was enraged and she thundered, “Lily Hardy!” This was because Tim had always been her hard limit, and she would never allow anyone to denigrate him.

Yet, Lily seemed to have no intention to stop running her mouth. “Hey b*stard, do you know who your father is? He’s a male escort in a hotel whose job is to serve women!” Then, she added, “I thought that the man in that house at Springvale Place is really your friend, but he’s actually your sugar daddy, right?”

Tamara was so frustrated that her body shuddered. On the other hand, Tim merely pursed his lips and held Frank’s hand tightly. Most kids his age would have cried at that moment.

“Interesting.” Frank scoffed and he pulled Tim behind him. “Who are you to comment about my son?”

The man was extremely good-looking. The noble vibe that he emanated revealed that he was not someone one should easily mess with.

Nevertheless, Lily had lost her reasoning at that point. “Bah! A man like you who is willing to be this little bastard’s father is just the same as Tamara!”

The crisp slapping sound rang in the room again, and Lily’s face was now even redder and more

swollen.

The anger on her face was instantly replaced by an incredulous look when she saw the person who slapped her. Finally, like a deranged woman, she raised her blood-covered hand and pointed at Evan. “How dare you hit me?! You actually hit me on account of that b*tch?”

Meanwhile, Evan had a grim look and he hissed, “Shut up!”

“But Evan, you can’t treat me like this.”

Nonetheless, Evan wore an obsequious smile and he attempted to please Frank without even giving her a glance. He almost blurted out the title ‘President Holt’, but he swallowed it upon seeing Frank’s threatening gaze. Instead, he turned to Tamara and pleaded, “Tamara, please be magnanimous and forgive her!”
