However, despite Serena's pleas for help, she received no response whatsoever. A hint of despair flashed across her face.Isaac looked at Serena's face filled with despair and revealed an excited smile. "Why did you stop calling for help? Do you really think someone will come to save you? It's much better to behave!"With those words, he approached Serena once again."Don't come any closer!"A look of determination flashed across Serena's face. She grabbed a fork from the table and pressed it against her fair, delicate neck. "If you come any closer, I'll show you what death looks like!""Alright, alright! I won't come over!"Isaac waved his hands repeatedly, halting his steps. Looking ahead, he saw the fork had pierced Serena's fair, delicate neck due to her forceful grip. A trace of heartache flashed across his face."Miss Lloyd, why would you do this to yourself? If you don't want to be with me, that's fine, but don't hurt yourself!""Let me go!" Serena was firm in her tone,
Immediately, Isaac released his grip, flinging Serena to the ground. "You... scoundrel..." Serena collapsed. Her once exquisite face became slightly swollen and filled with resentment."Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off!" However, Serena fiercely bit down on her tongue before she could finish her words. Suddenly, she froze. She realized that she did not even have the strength to bite her tongue anymore.A gleam of excitement flashed across Isaac's face. "Still contemplating suicide? I adore women of your virtue. Just the thought of you, with the effects of the medicine kicking in, excites me. I must savor every moment of your suffering. I have the whole night to play with you!"He shook his chubby head, found a spot to sit nearby, and shamelessly admired Serena's graceful figure. "I won't let you succeed."Serena's face was determined, but deep within her eyes flickered a profound despair. The most agonizing thing was being unable to die, no matter how much one
The private room was a chaotic mess. Serena lay on the floor, her face flushed and her clothes disheveled. Nearby stood a short, fat man who resembled a pig. It was immediately obvious what was about to happen in the room."Serena..." Liam suddenly raised his head and glared at Isaac, who was standing on the other side. With murderous intent pouring out of his eyes, he charged straight toward Isaac."What are you doing?"Panic flashed across Isaac's face. Before he could understand what was happening, Liam was already in front of him."Don't... Don't touch me!"In the next moment, Liam grabbed Isaac by the throat and lifted him off the ground.Liam glared at Isaac, his voice as cold as the frigid wind from the abyss. "How dare you?!""I... I..."Terror was etched all over Isaac's face. With Liam's grip tightening around his throat, his eyes bulged as he struggled to breathe.Then, Isaac's bodyguards, alerted by the noise from the room, finally arrived."Mister Timberwood!
The situation changed dramatically in an instant. Dozens of bodyguards lay sprawled on the ground, drenched in blood, their faces twisted in agony.Liam stood in the same spot, not even breathing heavily as he asked, "Anyone else?"He turned his gaze to Isaac, who was lying on the ground, his face contorted with terror. "If no one else wants to step up, it's your turn.""I..."Isaac trembled uncontrollably, unable to speak from the sheer terror gripping him. He had never imagined that the bodyguards he brought could not last even two minutes against that man."What do you want from me?" Isaac cried out, trying to curl into a ball."I didn't provoke you. What do you want?""You didn't provoke me?"Liam's eyes burned with murderous intent. He pointed to Serena, who lay nearby, fear etched on her face. "Do you know who she is?"Realization dawned on Isaac as he shuddered. "She… You came for Serena? You should have said so! We can discuss this. I haven't touched her. If you like h
"Ah! My hand!"A sharp pain surged through him.Isaac let out an agonizing scream. His face twisted in pain as he looked at his severed hand lying on the ground, his chubby face filled with terror. He could not believe it. Liam had chosen to cut off Isaac's left hand as his first attack!"How dare you?! How dare you do this?!"Isaac's corpulent body started to tremble uncontrollably."Shut up."Liam's response was cold and devoid of any emotion. He looked at Isaac's bleeding stump of a wrist and gently tapped it a few times. The blood that gushed out immediately stopped flowing!Then, Liam lifted his head to look at Isaac, a sinister smile appearing on his face. "I told you I'd take my time playing with you. We're just getting started. Just as you made Serena feel terrified, I will repay you tenfold soon."Upon hearing Liam's words, Isaac's body shuddered violently."I was wrong, I was really wrong! Grandmaster! Your Highness! I beg you! Please, spare me!"Overwhelmed with
Suddenly, Isaac's eyes widened in shock, but simultaneously, he fell silent and motionless.Liam frowned. "What a worthless fool! I didn't expect you to be so weak that you couldn't even last thirty seconds."With a slight movement of his fingers, the golden needle he had used to pierce Isaac's acupoint obediently flew back into his hand.Liam no longer paid attention to the lifeless Isaac. Instead, he turned his head toward the collapsed figure of Serena on the ground.A sigh escaped Liam as a conflicted emotion flickered in his eyes. He walked over and gently picked Serena up.Feeling her increasingly delicate frame, Liam murmured to himself. "You've gotten thinner...""Liam..." At that moment, Liam suddenly heard a faint whisper. Although the sound was barely audible, he caught his name clearly."You're awake?"Liam's body trembled. However, when he looked down, he saw that Serena still had her eyes closed, showing no sign of waking up.For some unknown reason, once Liam
Henry listened intently to the guard's report. The murderous intent in his eyes boiled over as he asked, "Are you saying that Isaac suffered greatly before he died?"The guard hesitated before nodding, "According to the hospital, there were signs of incontinence on Mister Timberwood's body. It indicates that something significant happened to him before his death."Henry smashed the glass in his hand in a fit of rage. "Damn it! Who did this?! I'll kill them! Were the bodyguards I assigned to Isaac just for show? They couldn't even protect him!"The guard cautiously glanced at Henry. "The bodyguards were severely injured and lost consciousness. There were no clues at the scene, so the culprit wasn't found. However, we have a clear understanding of the dinner that night."Henry's voice was icy. "Speak!"The guard replied quietly, "There were three people at the dinner. Serena from the Lloyd family in South City, who wanted to take over Mister Timberwood's project, and Mister Timberwo
"I hope nothing bad happens to him..."Although Serena felt a sense of justice hearing about what happened to Isaac from Layla after regaining consciousness, Serena knew one thing very clearly.Although she was filled with hatred toward Isaac for drugging her, if something really bad happened to him, the Lloyd family could not afford the consequences.Layla noticed Serena's concern. "Serena, why are you worried about Isaac? That lecherous fat guy deserved some suffering! Our main priority now should be to find the person who saved you."She looked at Serena curiously and asked, "You really can't remember anything?"Serena sighed and shook her head, "No, I have no memory of it. The only thing I remember is that Isaac drugged me and tried to take advantage of me, but everything that happened after that, I can't recall at all..."Layla was right. Besides Isaac, the most important thing was to find out who saved her. After all, being able to rush into the room decisively in that sit
