That one sentence pierced straight into the bitterness festering inside her . Her glare deepened , and her voice jumped a pitch . " I don't need your hypocrisy . Bella , you were a loser in your last life , and you're still one in this ! " I stayed calm as I watched her vent and even let out a casual laugh . " As long as you're happy . I hope you always get to be the winner . " Then , I turned and left the ticket hall , heading into the theater . Nathaniel heard her shouting . He hurried over with the tickets in hand , his face gloomy and full of irritation . " Catherine , I brought you here to watch a movie . Why are you yelling like this ? " This is a public place . Show some manners ! Compared to Bella , you're really no match at all ! " There was a trace of longing in his voice . And that was exactly what set Catherine off . She spun around and stormed off , not sparing him a shred of dignity . He could only swallow his anger and grab her hand . " You're the one who wanted to watch the movie , and I bought the tickets already . Where are you going now ? " " I don't want to anymore , okay ? " She sneered at him . " Are you here for the movie ? Please . You just wanted an excuse to see Bella ! " My colleague pulled me aside and told me that the two of them were fighting in the theater . I hid in a corner silently , watching their quarrel ' play out . " So you regret marrying me , huh ? Then go to Bella ! See if she even gives you the time of day ! " " Catherine , what nonsense are you spouting ? When did I ever say I was going to her ? " know that you've been secretly looking for her all these months . You just can't forget her ! " She ripped away the cover hiding his heart . Then , she added with sarcasm , " I know exactly where Bella's hiding . Aren't you curious ? " " Really ? " His face lit up with excitement . His response only made her angrier , jealousy blazing in her eyes . "Too bad I'm not telling you . I want you to spend the rest of your life never seeing her again ! " Chapter 5 Her words left his face pale one moment , flushed the next . His chest heaved with anger , and without hesitation , he raised his hand and slapped her . She froze and stared at him in shock . She couldn't understand how he could hit her just over one sentence . Even though he had changed a lot after the wedding , he had never once laid a hand on her . Suddenly , she noticed me , tucked away in the corner . Her hateful glare landed on me . I rubbed my forehead helplessly . Maybe this was just me getting caught in the crossfire . But I didn't step in . I told my colleague to throw them both out of the theater . I was on the late shift that night . Around midnight , the office phone suddenly rang . When I picked up , I heard Catherine's voice , which was filled with hatred . " Bella , you must be over the moon knowing Nathaniel still isn't over you , even after marrying me ! " But don't get too smug . I'll never let him be with you , no matter what! " I didn't say a single word until the line went dead . In my last life , I'd already done far too much for Nathaniel . This time , even if they fought to the death , it had nothing to do with me .
