Game Over, Mr. CEO: Your Wife Is Done (Winter and Chris) novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176

Her father had killed Chris’s parents.

He had destroyed Chris’s happy childhood too.

Mrs. Xander Sr. had loved her like her own granddaughter, never knowing that Winter’s parents were the ones who had killed her son and daughter-in-law. All these years, she had raised the daughter of the people who had ruined her family.

How was Winter supposed to face her now?

How was she supposed to face all the times Mrs. Xander Sr. had protected her, cared for her, and shown her so much love?

And how did she have any right to question Chris?

She was the daughter of the man who had killed his parents.

The way she lowered her head and murmured to herself startled Zion.

“Ms. Scott. Ms. Scott…”

His heart was in his throat, but he had never imagined it would be something like this.

This wasn’t something he could interfere in.

Not him. Not Gavin. Not anyone.

Tears trembled in her eyes, then fell one by one. In a daze, Winter looked at the man standing across

from her.

Chris’s fist was clenched so tightly that the veins stood out sharply beneath his skin. He stared at her bloodless face and her empty, unfocused eyes.

“If I hate you, will that bring my parents back?”

Winter stared at him blankly.

He was right.

It would not.

Death could not be undone.

And because it could not be undone, hatred could last forever.

If Chris hated her, that was only natural.

She was the daughter of the guilty party.

That was why he had never liked her growing up. He had always thought she was a nuisance. After he

was forced to marry her, things between them had only grown colder. He had even given away the things she treasured most without a second thought.

So that was why.

Everything had always been there, if only she had known how to see it.

What she had never understood was that Chris had never simply been tired of her.

No. That couldn’t happen.

He immediately threw open the car door and hurried to Chris’s side, his expression grim. “Mr. Xander,

Ms. Jasper slit her wrists.”

Winter’s whole body went rigid.

She saw a storm of fury rise in Chris’s eyes, along with something dark and unreadable she couldn’t understand

But before he got back into the car, he turned and looked at her. His voice was dark and obsessive. “Listen carefully, Winter. You’re not going anywhere. For the rest of your life, you’re staying by my side.

“Unless I die.”

As Chris’s car drove farther and farther away, dizziness hit Winter in waves. She pressed a hand to her lower stomach, where a dull ache was starting to spread.
