Chapter 606 William, So Ruthless
William looked at her, his deep eyes gradually narrowing.
"William, even if my parents and I have never saved you, even if I have never shielded you from a knife for you, shouldn't you at least give me a little bit of true affection and compassion for my unwavering love for you all these years?" Michelle looked at William without speaking, tears rolling down her eyes, feeling more and more wronged and pained.
Michelle said tearfully, "You tell me, why are you with me, even engaged to me? What is the real reason?" Looking at William, she suddenly smiled. "Is it to repay the favor my family owes you, or is it more about seeking revenge on Hayden? Because she dumped you in the past, so now you want to retaliate harshly?"
Closing his eyes again, pressing his forehead with his hand, William said calmly, "No, I'm not seeking revenge."
"If you're not seeking revenge, then what is it?" Michelle continued to cry and mock, "We've been together for so long, engaged for so long, except for the kiss you gave me during the engagement, when have we had any intimate moments? You never wanted to have sex with me. The only person in your heart is Hayden. If that's the case, why torment me? Why disgust me?"
William remained silent. Michelle felt more and more wronged and felt she was justified. She continued to question almost growling. "Do you know, now I am your rightful fiancée, Hayden is just someone who interferes with our relationship.
"Is it wrong for me to provoke her, to challenge her? She had your babies, but I can't ask or manage as your legitimate fiancée. I just did a little thing, and you think I'm provoking her, taunting her, being annoying, and asking for trouble! Tell me, is there a more pathetic and wronged legitimate fiancée in the world than me?"
"What do you want?" Still with his eyes closed, William asked calmly.
"I don't want anything, I just want to be a good wife who satisfies you, but I can't stand that you only have Hayden in your heart." Michelle suddenly felt so desperate looking at William, who didn't even want to look at her.
She coldly mocked, "William, if your love for me could be one-tenth of my love for you, I wouldn't care about Hayden anymore! Because I love you, you don't love me, that's why I'm jealous, hateful, and want Hayden to stay away from you. Is it wrong for me to do this?"
"Michelle, you're not wrong." William finally opened his eyes and looked at her. "The mistake was mine, in making a promise I couldn't keep."
"William..." Michelle's tone softened as she looked at him, reaching out pitifully to grab his hand, almost pleading, "I beg you, let go of Hayden, I will love you with all my heart, I will try to be a good wife, we will have many children, I will do everything you need me to do."
"Michelle, if I can't fulfill my promise and give you a marriage, what else do you want?" William didn't pull his hand away, looking at her seriously.
Michelle shook her head. "Dignity is a necessity for survival, I have dignity too, why did you promise to marry me but can't give me marriage? Do you want me to never hold my head up in front of Hayden and everyone again?"
"If that's all, you don't have to worry, I will explain it to the public," William said solemnly.
Looking at him, Michelle smiled and gradually let go of his hand. "Then am I losing to Hayden?"
"Are you really willing to live a lifetime with an empty title as my wife?" William asked back.
Michelle was slightly stunned and smiled again. "William, are you really this ruthless?"
"I'm sorry." William genuinely apologized, "Because I know myself too well. Seven years ago, I couldn't love you. Now, it's even more impossible. Sharing a bed and having children with you, I can't do it, no matter how perfect you are as a wife."
When Michelle saved him from the knife, when he saw Michelle's parents, he thought he could marry her.
But now, he admitted he overestimated himself.
"William, by saying this, are you honoring the favor my family owes you, the knife I took for you?" Michelle looked at him, mocking.
"If you must marry, I will have a lawyer prepare a prenuptial agreement. If you don't marry, I will have a lawyer prepare a transfer agreement for 3% of the Bennett Group's shares. In the future, apart from the Bennett family, you will be one of the largest shareholders of the Bennett Group." With that, William got out of bed and looked at Michelle, continuing, "Think it over carefully and let me know."
With that, he walked directly toward the bathroom.
A prenuptial agreement meant that she wouldn't get a penny from William if she couldn't stand being married to him and decided to divorce.
The transfer agreement for 3% of the Bennett family Group's shares meant that with the Bennett family Group's current market value of over 60 billion, she could get at least 200 million.
As far as she knew, 68% of the Bennett Group's shares were held by the Bennett family, and the other 32% were held by various major shareholders of the Bennett Group, but their shares were not substantial.
William gave her over 2 billion without hesitation to avoid marrying her.
Despite this, she felt unhappy and determined that Hayden shouldn't feel happy either.
In the hospital, the first thing Hayden did when she woke up in the morning was not to freshen up but to go see Chloe and Logan in the neonatal ward.
Chloe and Logan grew quickly, and they became more beautiful as they grew.
Although they spent most of their time sleeping, they seemed to know that Hayden was their mother when they were awake. They would eagerly open their mouths as if competing to talk to Hayden first.
Hayden felt more fulfilled due to them. The past pains gradually faded away, she wouldn't think about them anymore.
After checking on the babies and returning to her room, Hayden washed up and was examined by the doctor.
Because she was using the best medicine and eating the most suitable diet for her body, Hayden recovered well, although she still looked a bit tired, her spirits were high.
After the doctor finished the check-up, her phone rang on the bedside table. She picked it up and answered, it was about company matters.
After the call ended, she noticed a missed call.
She unlocked her phone and confirmed she didn't see it wrong. It was indeed a call from William, and it was almost two in the morning.
Suddenly, her calm heart was disturbed again without warning, as if ripples were spreading in a lake.
Why would William call her in the middle of the night?
Curiosity got the better of her, and after a moment's hesitation, she dialed back.
"Hello." The call went through after three rings, and William's calm and deep voice came through.
Hayden's breath slightly hitched, trying to stay calm, she said, "You called me in the middle of the night, what's up? Don't tell me you dialed by mistake while sleepwalking, I don't remember you having that habit, or maybe you drank too much."
"It wasn't me who called. It was Michelle who called." William's deep voice remained unruffled.
At that moment, Hayden furrowed her brows.
In the middle of the night, William and Michelle were together.
A man and a woman, and they were legitimate fiancés. It was obvious what they might be doing together at that hour.
