NovelEnglishChapter 254 Torment My Prey
Mason looked at his boss with a mix of concern and fear.
He couldn’t help but console, “Mr. Rainsworth, don’t worry. Ms. Smith and Eli might have snuck off to have some
fun. It won't be long before we find them.”
Such a lie would only fool a child.
Nathaniel, however, chose to believe it.
“I know. She definitely can’t bear to part with me.”
However, his reddened eyes and the dark circles beneath them, a result of a sleepless night, said otherwise.
All Mason could do was nod in agreement.
Nathaniel trudged forward through the snow, his towering silhouette appearing especially forlorn at that
moment.
After taking a few steps, he looked back at Mason. “She said she had gotten the wrong person.”
Mason didn’t understand.
“What does that mean?”

Nathaniel didn’t respond, he simply opened the car door and got in.
While seated in the car alone, he once again unfolded the letter, his eyes scanning the first few sentences: We
both know there's no love between us, so why should we despise each other? You never lovedback then, but
| don’t hate you, nor resent you for it because | know | have gotten the wrong person all along.
Gotten the wrong person...
Nathaniel felt his throat tighten, a face identical to his own surfacing in his mind.
The man’s eyes were filled with tenderness.
“How can this be?” Nathaniel muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, due to insufficient evidence, Stella was released on bail.
She asked her assistant, “Where's Mr. Rainsworth?”
The assistant shook her head.
“Didn’t Mr. Rainsworth send you to bailout?”
The assistant pointed into the distance, and when Stella looked over, she saw a silver-gray Maserati parked in
the snow.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Zachary’s handsface.
A glimmer of surprise flashed through Stella's eyes as she ran toward him, exclaiming, “Zach, | knew you would
cfor me!”
She was about to open the car door, but no matter what she did, it just wouldn't budge..
“Don’t getwrong,” Zachary said, his expression cold and distant. “I bailed you out, but it wasn’t to save
you.”
Stella was taken aback.
He continued, “I've known for a long tthat it wasn’t you who savedback then. Do you know why |
haven't exposed you?”
Stella's face was deathly pale.
“Because Nathaniel likes you. | didn’t want to put him in a difficult position.”
“So, what about now...”
“Now, it's tto settle scores, but you don’t need to be afraid.” He paused again. “I won't give someone a
quick death; | enjoy the thrill of slowly tormenting my prey.”
Stella knew Zachary’s methods better than anyone else. After Cecilia married Nathaniel, he had the audacity to
torment her without any restraint, let alone in her current predicament.

Zachary gave her a glimmer of hope once more. “Besides, | don’t yet know if Nathaniel will continue to accept
you. But from what | know of him, if he truly loves you, you'll end up in misery!”
Zachary remembered how Nathaniel once desired to own a company. However, the company’s boss had
transferred the ownership to someone else.
Ultimately, after Nathaniel took over the company, he ended up ruining it completely.
Suddenly, the car jolted forward, barreling toward Stella. Startled, Stella plopped down onto the ground in fright.
However, the car cto a stop just a centimeter away from her.
“If you don’t want to die prematurely, then get out of my sight!”
Stella hastily scrambled up from the snowy ground, fleeing toward the direction of her assistant.
After watching her vanish from his sight, Zachary then drove away.
He would gradually trip away everything from the one who deceived and used him, making her live in fear every
single day.
When he was heading back, he picked up his phone and dialed Darren’s number.
“Darren, invite Nathaniel over to my house today to see my son.”
He had seen Stella's live broadcast the day before and knew Nathaniel would be undoubtedly upset. Thus, it was
better to have Darren call him at this time.
Zachary also wanted to find out from the horse’s mouth whether Nathaniel still cared about Stella. &
