"Hey! Where are you taking me?" Flora, who was forcefully pushed into the car, angrily shouted.Kevin climbed into the driver's seat from the other side and chuckled, "Didn't you say you didn't care? There's a dinner party, come with me!""You—!" Flora angrily glanced at the employees who were looking over here from outside the car as they headed towards the hotel. Then she turned her head and stared at Kevin, shouting, "How can I not care when I've been spread like this!?""The innocent have nothing to fear. What are you afraid of?" Kevin shrugged nonchalantly."In this situation, even the innocent become guilty! Are you happy to have caused all this trouble for me?!" Flora's eyes teared up in anger. When everyone thought they were in a questionable relationship, he still wanted to take her out for dinner? He was intentionally making things difficult for her!Seeing her eyes welling up with tears, Kevin leaned in and gently wiped away a stray tear with his hand. His voice suddenly so
Kevin saw the situation and took the remaining half cup of alcohol from her hand, saying to everyone, "Let me drink on her behalf.""Alright! Since you, as her boss, are being such a gentleman, then go ahead and drink on her behalf," the crowd cheered.Flora sat down on the chair, feeling weak, and gratefully looked at Kevin. Under the dim lights, he calmly finished the drink in her cup.After finishing the drink, everyone took their seats.Kevin leaned towards her ear and smiled as he explained, "They are friends of mine from when I used to race cars together in Germany. They happened to come back to W City these days for a race. The ladies next to them are their girlfriends or wives.""Oh, I see," Flora responded somewhat dazedly. To be honest, she wasn't interested in these people. Perhaps it was because they were all strangers. However, seeing how happy they were, she couldn't help but feel envious. Friendship was worth more than love!"You haven't eaten yet, have some food first,
Flora nodded, staring at him nervously, waiting for his response.Kevin, besides being surprised, had no idea how to respond, or how he could respond. After a long moment, he asked numbly, "Is it Maxwell's?"Was that even a question? Kevin chuckled self-mockingly. Who else could it be besides him?With Flora's nod, he felt a coldness fill his heart instantly. It was an indescribable feeling - his emotions for Flora weren't deep enough to make him collapse because of this, but it still made his heart ache. Was it jealousy? Jealousy that Maxwell had finally managed to win her over? Perhaps!"Are you planning to keep it?" Kevin's warm palm hovered over her abdomen, and suddenly, he had the urge to crush that tiny life. Without it, this woman wouldn't know whose hands she would end up in!"Yes," Flora nodded.She had long accepted reality. She had to keep it because it was her flesh and blood, her only family in this world. Who could bear to snuff out their own family?"Today, I just real
Chiyoko's words made Maxwell shudder. Was he overreacting? Was he losing control? He realized that his reaction had been too extreme. Flora wasn't his fiancée, so why did he get so enraged? It was simply because she was with Kevin! It was as simple as that.But what if Flora was with another man? Would he not be so furious? Shaking his head, Maxwell didn't want to entertain that thought. He squeezed Chiyoko, who had settled into his embrace. His hand gripped her slender waist firmly.Chiyoko could feel her cold sweat breaking out again. He was always like this, only concerned with venting his own emotions, never able to feel other people's pain. Her hands wrapped around his neck, and she murmured, "Oh, Maxwell..."Maxwell's arm tightened, pulling her tightly into his embrace, while his other hand held her delicate chin. His icy gaze pierced directly into her eyes as he coldly said, "Are you so eager to sleep with me? Hm? Can't you live without a man?" Women! More despicable than men!
Returning to the hotel after Kevin's harsh handling last night, nobody dared to casually discuss anything about Flora and Kevin anymore. However, she could sense that those gossiping women still looked down on her.Perhaps the consequences of Kevin's actions made them think she was only able to establish herself at the Moonlight Hotel because of this relationship. Flora shook her head, not caring what they thought. After all, she had already been talked about enough.As it was almost time to finish work, Flora suddenly received a notification to go to the personnel department. When she heard the news, her heart skipped a beat. This was a rare occurrence.Chloe noticed her nervousness and patted her shoulder to reassure her, saying, "What are you afraid of? Can that bitch Alma still eat you alive? Just go, Linda and I will wait for you downstairs.""Okay," Flora responded, still feeling a little uneasy.The first thing that came to her mind was whether Kevin had found out about her pre
The men walked up to the car and politely knocked on the window where Flora was seated.Flora reluctantly pressed down the window and forced a smile that was uglier than crying. Waving at them with a small hand, she greeted, "Hello, handsome...""Miss Flora, Mr. Maxwell would like you to visit the Smith Family mansion," one of the men respectfully said.Flora's heart tightened and relaxed alternately. She stared blankly at them. Maxwell wanted her to visit the Smith Family mansion? Why? But... These two turned out to be Maxwell's people. Well, at least they weren't Japanese. That made her feel somewhat relieved."Hey, who is Mr. Maxwell?" Linda, seeing that the man looked good and had a good attitude, completely let go. She boldly asked, expecting them to be here for sexual purposes.But unfortunately, the two men didn't answer her question. Instead, they urged, "Miss Flora, please.""Why do I have to go to the Smith Family mansion?" Although she knew they wouldn't answer, Flora cauti
"I gave you a chance to live outside, but since you don't know how to treasure it. Then don't blame me for being ruthless!" Maxwell lowered his gaze, looking at her pale face. At that moment, he felt a strong aversion to even touching her!Just like with Chiyoko back then, once she was confined here, he never looked at her or touched her again! He only felt one thing towards her - disgust. Her body and mind were so dirty that it repulsed him!And today, that feeling resurfaced, but this time, the target was Flora, a woman who had also slept with other men behind his back. There was no hint of hesitation or pity in his eyes, because they both didn't deserve it!Flora looked at him angrily, a bit anxious as she spoke, "I don't understand what you're saying! Maxwell, can you please just say everything at once? I don't want to play guessing games or be mysteriously imprisoned by you!" Just like a month ago!Maxwell stared at her and sneered mockingly, "What have you done outside? What did
Maxwell walked out of the bedroom indifferently and headed downstairs, his footsteps steady but heavy. As he heard the crying behind him and thought about Flora's desperate attempts to defend herself, he felt a twinge of pain.However, he didn't feel a hint of regret. Once the idea of locking her in the room took root, it was hard to get rid of it, and he had never considered getting rid of it. This was how he should deal with a woman like her!Originally, he had intended to keep her by Kevin's side, to see what tricks Kevin was up to, and give her a few good days in the meantime. But she didn't know how to appreciate it and ended up going to a hotel suite with Kevin.How could he contain the restlessness in his heart and let her continue to stay with Kevin? He would rather find another way to deal with Kevin than let her have any more good days!While walking, Maxwell suddenly paused and unexpectedly saw Robin standing at the staircase on the third floor, looking at him with a face o
