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
Flora's hope vanished when the person appeared—it was Nancy! This woman liked to bully others, who even dared to mistreat Chiyoko, let alone her. Flora thought with some fear in her heart, silently watching every move she made.Sure enough, when Nancy saw her, she pulled the corners of her mouth into a cold smirk and sneered, "Miss Flora, good morning!"What chilled Flora's heart, however, wasn't Nancy but Chiyoko, who entered behind her. At this moment, Chiyoko's face showed not only schadenfreude but also a deep indifference. Being confined here, she was the one who could feel that kind of pain the most, right?It wasn't surprising that she would show such an expression, Flora thought with a bitter smile. She just didn't know where she had offended her, making her so repulsed. Everyone in the Smith Family mansion knew that she had been forced to become Maxwell's captive!"What's wrong, Miss Flora? No appetite?" Chiyoko mocked as she looked at Flora's disheveled appearance. Seeing th
"Aunt, rest assured, I won't even glance at her anymore," Maxwell replied without hesitation. He was a man of his word, although recently he had been somewhat influenced by Flora's interference. But this was something he wouldn't change!Upon hearing his words, not only did Mrs. Smith feel relieved, but Chiyoko also let out a gentle sigh of relief in her heart. Never seeing her again, that's great! However, for a man as outstanding as Maxwell, how many more Floras might be waiting to appear?Just as Mrs. Smith was about to leave, the sound of the front door opening reached her ears, and a luxurious car slowly entered the Smith Family mansion. Mrs. Smith was surprised to see that it was the car Mrs. Davis usually used for transportation.The car came to a slow stop, and Mrs. Smith, wearing a joyful smile, approached, examining Mrs. Davis, who was getting out of the car with astonishment. She said, "Mrs. Davis, it's you?" Why did she come so early in the morning?"Yes, welcome?" Mrs. Da
"Whether it's ridiculous or not, you know best. Kevin has already been nearly ruined by you. Mrs. Davis, if you're wise, you should stop now. The Smith Family Group and the Davis Family Group can't disappear completely from the Earth. You should understand that."Indeed, the Smith Family Group would not easily collapse! When the Smith Family Group was almost on the verge of collapse due to the Davis Family Group's attack, he saved it."Maxwell, don't think you have everything under control, and don't speculate recklessly." Mrs. Davis looked at him and uttered these words.In her heart, however, she was horrified. Maxwell was indeed as shrewd as the rumors suggested. And would Kevin be his match? Suddenly, she felt a bit worried!"Have I overthought this?" Maxwell neither confirmed nor denied, sneering, "The bidding for the tourism development project in City A suddenly fell into Kevin's hands. Is that just a coincidence?"Kevin had successfully treated him as an imaginary enemy, from
