Chapter 822: Chapter 806: Is There Regret Medicine in the World?

Eleanor Bishop’s face turned deathly pale as she looked at the handsome face inches from her own.

When he lost his temper, it really looked as if he wanted to swallow her alive just to appease his anger.

She knew things would be like this when she came back. Fortunately, she was already used to this side of Archie Lockwood; it wasn’t too hard to accept.

She took a good while to recover her wits before slowly calming down. A faint, bitter smile played at the corners of her lips as she spoke in a cool, indifferent tone. "I never knew you hated me this much."

Just how much did he hate her? To what extent did his hatred reach for him to reveal such a terrifying look in his eyes?

"Eleanor Bishop, you fool! You idiot! What do you know? You don’t know anything!" When he had his uses and she loved him, she would try every possible way to cling to him. When she no longer loved him, she would do everything she could to leave him.

He didn’t understand. What exactly was he, Archie Lockwood, in her heart?

People called him ruthless, but wasn’t she just as cruel?

At the Vance residence.

Shannon Vance had stayed up all night.

After Archie left last night, Rowan Ross had told her a lot of things. The most shocking revelation was that Eleanor Bishop was Shirley Lockwood’s biological mother.

When Rowan recounted the history between Archie and Eleanor, the smugness and mockery in her eyes severely stung Shannon’s heart, making her feel deeply threatened.

She thought that perhaps she really was going to lose Archie.

They were not just ex-lovers; they shared a daughter.

How could she ever compete with Eleanor?

She knew better than anyone how much Archie doted on Rory. If Rory found out that Eleanor was her biological mother, would she still have a chance?

The answer was definitely no.

In her entire life, Shannon had never truly liked anyone. But when it came to Archie, she had fallen so deeply in love that she couldn’t pull herself out.

She suddenly threw off the covers and sat up in bed.

She absolutely could not give up on Archie! She wouldn’t give up no matter what! If she let him go, she didn’t know if she would ever be able to love someone this much again in her lifetime...

Inside the Lockwood villa’s living room, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Archie sat on the sofa without saying a word, a dark expression on his handsome face. He wasn’t watching TV or reading the newspaper; he didn’t even move a muscle.

Caught in the middle, Shirley looked awkwardly at her father, then at her mother.

Eleanor sat in her wheelchair, her head bowed in silence.

Just as Shirley debated whether she should speak to her father first, the cell phone Archie had placed on the table began to ring.

Hearing the sound, Shirley’s eyes lit up. She smiled and said to him, "Dad, you have a call!"

"I know." He wasn’t deaf; how could he not hear the phone ringing?

However, he was also relieved that the call had come in at just the right moment.

He reached out and picked up the phone. Just as he was about to swipe the screen to answer, his finger paused, and the expression on his face grew incredibly complicated.

"Dad, who’s calling? Why aren’t you answering?" Shirley furrowed her delicate brows and stood up to see exactly who was calling her father.

Seeing his daughter leaning in, Archie quickly covered the screen with his hand. He stood up and ordered coldly, "Sit down and stop messing around!"

"Oh..." Hearing her father’s reprimand, Shirley agreed aggrievedly and reluctantly sat back down.
