As soon as I stopped talking, a bodyguard came up behind me, took the watch from Max’s hand, and gave it to me with respect.
Max desperately tried to get back his last valuable item when he saw it being taken.
But my bodyguard kept him away, so he couldn’t touch me.
I laughed and dropped the watch on the ground, then stomped on it with my heel.
Max had high hopes for this watch, but I was going to break it.
“Who do you think you are? If you had been a good dog, I might have given you some money!”
I walked over and lightly patted Max’s cheek. Then I turned around and walked away in my heels.
The screen on the million-dollar watch was completely broken, so it was useless to sell.
Max fell to his knees in pain after I left, staring at the broken watch in his hands and clenching his fists.
He had to go back and talk to Clara about what to do about their money problems because he couldn’t sell the watch.
He didn’t know that Clara already knew I was coming.
I even had someone lie to her on purpose to make her think that Max and I were getting back together.
Clara was totally in love with Max, and I was curious to see how she would react if she thought he was going to leave her.
I sat in my car and quietly followed Max back to the hotel.
They had sold all of their homes in the country and could only afford to stay in hotels now.
When Max walked into the lobby of the hotel, he saw Clara coming with a bottle of water. “Clara, what are you up to?”
He was confused when he looked at Clara. Because they were so well-known right now, they tried to stay inside as much as possible.
Those paparazzi were like cats stalking mice, always on the lookout for any sign of scandal. Clara held the water bottle tightly in her hand and faced Max. “Where did you go this morning?”
Max’s eyes flickered uncomfortably because he didn’t want Clara to know that I had embarrassed him. He laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head.
“I went to look for investors because I want to start over here.”
When Clara heard his answer, she laughed bitterly and threw some pictures in Max’s face.
“What’s this? Are you going to leave me and go live the good life with Elena?”
She yelled at Max and slapped him hard across the face.
Max was shocked. He touched his cheek and looked at the pictures in shock.
Clara smiled a little and ripped the pictures in half, throwing the pieces into the air. Max grabbed Clara by the throat and held his face in anger.
“Are you crazy? Can’t you see that someone is trying to frame me?” Clara gasped for air in his grip, but her lips curled into a sad smile. “Max, I’ll never let you be with another woman. So let’s go to hell together!”
Then she took off the cap of the water bottle and threw it at Max.
Max let her go when the clear liquid burned his skin, and he fell to the floor, writhing in pain. Someone called the police right away.
The police arrested Clara and took her to the station.
They took Max to the hospital right away. He would probably need skin grafts because he had a lot of burns all over his body.
When I got to the hospital, I saw him lying there in a yellowish, bad-smelling fluid. I had to cover my nose because I was so disgusted.
