Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald ( Edward )

Chapter 356 

Jeremy was momentarily stunned, instinctively trying to resist. 

Eason, with his mastery of professional fighting skills, acted with fierce resolve. Jeremy’s attempts to fight back were useless, only serving to intensify the onslaught. 

Eason cleverly managed to hurt Jeremy badly without leaving any clear marks. 

Realizing he couldn’t fight back, Jeremy shouted, “Emma, are you just going to let him bully me like this?” 

Emma lowered her gaze. 

After a while, she stepped forward and gently tugged at Eason. 

Eason stopped, feeling a slight sting in his heart, and asked, “Are you still going to protect him?” 

Seizing the opportunity, Jeremy scrambled to his feet. He was somewhat scared of Eason, instinctively wanting to flee. But remembering the huge sum of money at stake, he stayed. 

Despite years apart, Jeremy was confident in his ability to manipulate Emma. 

For him, the money was easy pickings. 

Jeremy, with a slick grin, said to Emma, “You know, the guy you’re with now seems kind of rough. He’s not the one for you. Why not give us another shot? We’re not getting any younger. Plus, there’s a pretty good chance I’d marry you.if we got back together. Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted?” 

Jeremy spoke with an air of granting Emma a favor. 

Eason’s fists itched to strike again. 

But he saw Emma and restrained himself. 

Eason thought, ‘Emma’s world turned dark because of her love for this man, leading her into depression. 

“How much did she really love him?‘ 

Eason didn’t dare ponder too deeply. 

Thinking about it brought an inexplicable pain in his heart. 

Eason thought, ‘My pain stemmed from sympathy for Emma. 

‘As for other emotions, I didn’t dare to contemplate.‘ 

“Emma, you have a minute to think it over,” Jeremy stated, rising to his full height with a newfound assertiveness in his 

voice.

Emma trembled slightly all over. 

Fear was clearly etched on her face. 

Long–buried memories surged crazily. 

It was always like this when she dated Jeremy. 

He had a way of using strong language to push her into doing things. 

“Think it over. This is your one shot, and if you let it slip, it’s gone for good. Honestly, who else would even consider marrying someone as shy and plain as you, if not for me?” Jeremy pressed on, making his point clear. 

Emma’s expression showed she was in even more pain. 

Yeah, that was it. 

Whenever she hesitated or refused, Jeremy would relentlessly belittle her. 

Jeremy made her feel like she was the worst person in the world, convincing her that nobody else could ever care for someone as worthless as she believed herself to be, except for him. 

Emma, who was inherently introverted and reserved, gradually became completely submissive to Jeremy after being influenced by his manipulation over time. 

Except f 

for the last occasion, where Jeremy subtly suggested taking things further, she firmly declined multiple times.

When Jeremy realized he couldn’t get what he wanted, he callously abandoned her. 

During their breakup, he used some of the most vicious language imaginable, launching a barrage of personal attacks against Emma. 

Emma had devoted her heart entirely to Jeremy and her refusal to have sex with Jeremy was a matter of personal principle. 

Yet Jeremy, over such a trivial matter, didn’t hesitate to assault her with the most venomous words.

Afterward, he even spread harmful rumors about Emma. Whenever she tried to defend herself, her lack of eloquence left her at a disadvantage against Jeremy’s sharp tongue. 

For most, the four years of college are filled with fond memories. 

But for Emma, they were overshadowed by darkness. 

Seeing Emma’s painful expression brought a smug smile to Jeremy’s face. 

This was his way of exerting control over women. 

Jeremy always held the thoughts, ‘Men who always try to please and coddle women are essentially trashy. 

Chapter 350 

The key to controlling women lies in undermining and demeaning them. 

Enuma was exactly like that, firmly under my control. 

After all, she had even developed severe depression for me. How much she must love me! 

Because of this, I had plenty to boast about to other men. 

‘A woman became depressed just because she couldn’t have me. 

It was a testament to my incredible charm. 

Over the years since I had left Emma, I had dated several women. 

But none of them were as compliant and easy to control as Emma. 

Perhaps, getting back together with her wouldn’t be such a bad idea. 

“Of course, dating again was one thing, but marriage was out of the question. 

Depression, after all, is a mental illness. Who knows if it’s hereditary? I couldn’t risk having a child with a mother who had mental health issues.” 

Jeremy was dreaming big. 

Meanwhile, Emma was suffering even more. 

Her eyes began to lose focus, her expression dazed. 

Unable to bear the pain any longer, she wordlessly walked toward the lake. 

The only thought left in Emma’s mind was her agony. Death seemed like the only escape. 

To her, death was not something to fear but the only way out. 

Gradually, she almost ran to the lake’s edge. 

Emma’s sudden action made Jeremy too stunned to react. 

But Eason, who had been watching Emma closely, reacted just in time. 

As she was about to jump into the lake, Eason wrapped his arms around her tightly. 

Emma struggled frantically. 

Emma thought, Why insist on keeping me alive in such misery? 

‘Wouldn’t death be a mercy?” 

Eason barely managed to hold onto her as she erupted with unexpected strength.

He tightened his grip, pulling her to safety. 

After several attempts, realizing she couldn’t end her life in front of Eason, Emma looked at him in despair. “You see? I loved such a man and gave all my emotions to som
