Faye's expression darkened when she caught the strange scent and stumbled back. "You dare to drug me?" she questioned sharply. Nick kept Lucy as his hostage, his eyes crazed. "Don't call it that. Faye, I'm just helping you out. You wouldn't want me to cut your friend's throat, right? "You can't make a decision and say yes when you are sober. And you wouldn't want Lucy to get hurt, so I helped you out. Your body will make the decision for you!"He pressed the knife closer to Lucy's neck. "Don't make me wait too long. Once the drug takes effect, you might just jump me right here!""Fuck you!" Lucy might be drunk but sobered up when Nick grabbed her. She shouted angrily, "Dream on, Nick Lynch! How dare you even think about touching Faye? How stupid!""Shut up!" He grabbed her neck. "Do you have a death wish?""You are the one with a death wish! Who are you to dream about sleeping with someone out of your league?" Lucy shouted at Faye, "Faye, just leave! Don't worry about me.
After Faye and Lucy left, Lincoln stayed back. He turned and glared coldly at Nick, who lay on the ground with fresh wounds added to his existing injuries, his body beaten and battered.Seeing Nick struggling to get up, Lincoln's expression darkened. He crouched down, grabbed Nick's collar, and delivered two punches that knocked out two of Nick's teeth.Nick widened his eyes as he glared at Lincoln angrily. "Lincoln Cole, how dare you hit me? If Light Moon Designs wants to thrive in Jeorgia, it will still need my father's support in the future! You—"Before Nick could finish his sentence, Lincoln slapped him across the face."The punches just now were on behalf of Ms. Fischer. Who are you to try and sleep with her? Take a good look at yourself. "This slap is for Lucy. Remember this, Nick. Lucy is mine. If you ever dare to harm her again, you'll regret it."Nick had blood all over his mouth. His face was swollen, and his nostrils flared as he shouted, "Lincoln Cole! Do you real
Stella clearly didn't understand what Benny meant when he said that Cedric was more than just a figurehead for the Shaw family. She angrily shouted, "He might be a powerful businessman, but you're the future mayor! Look at how they've mistreated your son. If words about this get out, what will people think of you?"You've worked so hard to be in this position to free yourself from others' control and gain more power, right? "How are you any different from a manager from a small company? You're so timid that you wouldn't have made it here if it weren't for the people backing you!"Enraged by her aggressive tone, Benny raised his arm and slapped her across the face. "I said shut up!"Stella was initially stunned, her eyes widening. She then jumped at Benny, her face flushed. "Benny Lynch, how dare you hit me? I'm going to kill you! You coward! What else can you do apart from bullying me and our son?"This sent Stella into a frenzy, and she lunged at Benny, wanting to fight him.
Sensing Faye's irritability, Cedric furrowed his brows. He decided not to touch her and instead propped his head up to look down at her with concern. Faye was sleeping on her side, with her long hair covering part of her face. However, Cedric could still see the flush on her cheeks."Is the air conditioning in the room too high?" Cedric wondered. As far as he remembered, the temperature was usually set this way, and Faye had never complained."Was the water too hot when she showered, or is she hot because of all the drinks she had just now?" he thought. "Be a good girl, turn around, and let me take a look," Cedric said patiently, despite feeling hurt by Faye's rejection earlier. He was genuinely concerned about her.Faye shook her head impatiently. "It's nothing. I just had a bit too much to drink. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."However, even as she said this, Faye felt disoriented and uncomfortably warm. She couldn't tell if it was because of the alcohol or Nick
Cedric had been restraining himself all night and was on the brink of losing his mind. He finally managed to fall asleep at dusk, yet Faye woke up and started seducing him. Not only did she lean against him, she even started touching him. When he was woken up by her kiss, all he could think of was how he was going to punish her. All thoughts about respecting and waiting for her to say yes were cast aside. Cedric, who lacked sleep and was boiling with desire, sensed how she clumsily kissed him and turned to pin her against the bed before devouring her lips. Faye wasn't appalled by his kiss and touch, as she had gotten used to his presence and touch. Throughout the night, she kept having odd dreams that were filled with inappropriate scenes, driving her crazy. It felt even worse than swimming in a pool of her own blood. She was stuck in her dreams and only managed to wake up close to dusk, yet her entire body felt like it was burning. She was a little hesitant to sedu
Flora finished packing, changed out of her hospital gown, and was now dressed in an elegant emerald green dress, exuding grace and elegance.She glanced at the Shaw family and said, "Is it really him who wants money to start another business, or is it you who wants more money for your luxurious lifestyle?"She smiled coldly and continued, "Has Clark been spending too much time at the casino these days? Did he lose everything? If he has money to gamble, why can't he invest in his brother's business? Isn't that the new limited edition LV handbag you are carrying, Mandy? If I remember correctly, it has been on the market for less than a month, and it costs no less than a thousand, right?""And Mrs. Brown, your gold bracelet looks brand new. Did you buy it recently?" Flora's expression darkened with a sneer. "If Clint is really in such desperate need of money, just selling some of your luxury items could gather tens of thousands, if not millions, for him. Besides, when I was still a m
Faye noticed that Cedric was hesitant to speak and smiled. "What's that look on your face? Is there something you want to say?"Cedric didn't want to burden their growing relationship with the complicated matters of his family, so he shook his head and decided not to say anything.However, Faye guessed what was on his mind. "You want to say that the people from the Shaw family are more disgusting, right?"Cedric's gaze sharpened. "Don't worry, I won't let you deal with those things."Still, he knew that Faye would inevitably have to face them in the future. Faye playfully linked her arm with his. "Do you think I'm easy to bully?"Cedric chuckled and poked her nose. "It doesn't matter if you are easy to bully. What's important is that I don't want those disgusting people to bother you."She smiled. "So, are you hiding something from me?"There was no reason for Cedric to become concerned about such matters suddenly, so it was clear that something had happened in the Shaw family
Sherry didn't expect Cedric to be here and wanted to take the opportunity to bully Faye. However, as soon as Cedric appeared, the tides changed. Cedric was aggressive enough to insult himself, as well as insult her. However, he emphasized the Shaw family in Jeorgia, almost as though he was trying to separate himself from the Shaw family in Jeorgia. Victoria's eyes lit up when she saw Cedric, and she grabbed his arm. "Uncle, you're finally back!"Cedric quietly pulled his arm away and glanced coldly at her. "Yeah.""I heard from Grandpa that you went to Jorn City and that he didn't know when you would be back. I thought it would be a long time until I saw you again." Victoria's face flushed, and she stared intently at Cedric despite being rejected. "When did you come back?" Cedric's voice was cold and distant. Victoria raised her chin and smiled at him. "I've been back for over half a month. I heard that you got married, Uncle, so I've been wanting to see my new aunt-in-law."
