Hearing his introduction, I could only manage a bitter smile.So, this was the infamous Terry. All this scheming was just to avenge his sister.He stood and approached, his movements deliberate. Grabbing a fistful of my hair, he forced me to meet his icy gaze, then released a scornful laugh."You are exactly as they say—a whore. But Michele is my only sister. You seduced Scott, and you caused her to never become a mother."I bit my lips and refused to back down as I stared back at him. When I heard his words, I didn't even bother to hide the disdain that filled my eyes.How could Michele, who had bullied others and even taken my son's heart, have any right to motherhood? The very thought was absurd."Oh?" Terry's expression chilled further when he saw my unrepentant stance. Roughly, he pushed me aside and returned to his seat on the sofa."Since you're so adept at seducing men, choose one now and perform for us. I'll record it and show everyone, including Scott, just how shamele
Terry was caught off guard, and his breath became uneven.Feeling his hard-on, I giggled.Veins bulged on Terry's forehead as he suppressed his emotions. He was clearly infuriated, but his expression turned odd as his anger was mixed with lust.With a forceful shove, Terry pushed me away, his eyes darkening with provoked anger.Meanwhile, the men in suits were completely taken aback.Everyone knew Terry's temperament. Any woman who had ever tried to approach him hadn't even managed to touch a single hair on his body before meeting a miserable end. Yet, here I was, having not only sat on his lap but also openly flirted with him in full view of his associates.They were all stunned, wondering if this was the real Terry they were seeing. At that moment, they didn't know what to say. It wasn't until Terry shoved me off him that they finally breathed a sigh of relief.Regaining their composure, one of the men sneered, "Stop wasting your energy, girl. Mr. Finnen won't have any fee
He found it strange when I gave him a look of subtle mockery after he mentioned that Michele would never be able to be a mother again. It didn't seem like I was merely trying to climb the social ladder by seducing someone as powerful as Scott. Perhaps I had other motives.His men moved swiftly, and twenty minutes later, the results of the investigation were laid out before Terry. "Just as I thought," he muttered, frowning at the information in front of him.Without delay, he picked up the phone and called Michele. "Michele, I've found out something about Adrianna. I'll send it to you."…After leaving the club, I called Scott. I told him I wasn't feeling well and wanted to take the rest of the day off. The deal hadn't been finalized, so I suggested he send someone else to handle it.There was a pause on the other end of the line before his voice softened, filled with concern. He asked about my health, told me to rest, and not to worry about the contract. When the call ended, I
Our eyes met, and for a moment, my heart clenched tight.I always knew this day would come, but I never imagined it would arrive so soon.Biting my lip, I instinctively averted my gaze. I pretended to be ignorant of his presence out of guilt. However, Scott wasn't about to give me that chance. He stormed forward and kicked away the maids who had been holding me down. Grabbing my wrist, he wanted to take me away with him."I'm not leaving, Scott! Let me go! I need my son's ashes!" I kept struggling, trying to free myself from his grip. Despite my struggles, he forced me into the car and took me back to the villa....My mind was consumed with thoughts of my son's ashes, and I was restless.It wasn't until Scott shoved me hard and my back slammed into the cold wall that the pain snapped me out of my thoughts. Instinctively, I looked up and found myself staring into his eyes, which were filled with menace. The way he stared at me was as if he wanted to devour me right on the s
Tears welled up in the corners of my eyes, but I didn't fight back anymore. If this was what it took to quell his rage, then so be it!Scott gripped my waist harshly as if he had gone mad, and we became entangled in a chaotic and intense struggle, rising and falling in a relentless rhythm.I felt like a tiny boat adrift on a vast ocean. I was tossed by waves of pain and pleasure, and my vision blurred.Finally, it was over. He lay weakly on top of me.Suddenly, he spoke in a hoarse and raw voice. "Adrianna, from the beginning to the end, did you ever love me? Even just a little?"My eyes brimmed with tears. I bit down on my lip, unable to bring myself to respond. Scott took his leave. I curled up, hugging my shoulders weakly as I sat alone in the darkness. I knew our relationship was over....The next day, I moved out of the villa and found a random apartment to rent. Once I had settled in, I carefully concealed a fruit knife beneath my clothes and slipped into the Finnen R
Michele screamed uncontrollably. Her face contorted in pain, and her teeth bared in a grimace as she frantically reached up to touch the wound. Her hand was stained with blood. It was bright red against her pale skin."You… you…" Her wide eyes were filled with disbelief as her voice shook with rage. "Adrianna, you filthy bitch! How dare you ruin my face?"This time, it was my turn to sneer coldly. Without a word, I slashed the blade across her cheek again, the second cut crossing the first, forming a perfect little "X." My smirk deepened. It suited her, this wretched woman.Michele was frozen in shock. When she finally regained her senses, she was absolutely enraged. She gritted her teeth, eyes wide with anger as she charged toward me. "Adrianna, you bitch! I'm going to kill you!"I took a step back.The wound on her stomach still hadn't healed, so she couldn't stand. Hence, she crashed hard onto the ground. I took a step forward and crouched down beside her. Grabbing her co
Terry stopped Michele in time.After scanning me up and down with deep eyes, he gestured to his men. "Take her to the police station.""Yes, sir!" The men in black marched me out of the house....At the entrance of Finnen Residence, we happened to bump into Scott.He was stepping out of his car with gifts in his hand. He was here to visit Michele.Dressed in a suit and a pair of leather shoes, he came to a stop a short distance away from me and stared back at me.Under the bright sunlight, Scott looked as handsome and noble as ever. However, there was a cold and aloof look on his face that I never saw before.He glanced at me once before brushing past me like he didn't know me.My heart twisted in pain as my breathing came out in heavy pants.Ha! We were probably strangers now. That was good.I had been the one to use him. We got what we wanted, so why bother lingering any longer? So be it."Hurry up!" The men in black suddenly shoved me from behind.I stumbled.Then, th
I ignored the pain in my body as my heart sank.What did she just say? Discipline? No wonder she instantly started giving me trouble. Someone had ordered her to do it.I gritted my teeth and slowly got to my feet. "Who is it?""Who cares if you know? Well, it's Madam Liliwoods."Perhaps the chubby woman thought being connected to the rich and famous was worthy of being proud of. That was why there was a smug look on her face.She didn't keep it a secret either."Madam Liliwoods?" I frowned as I mumbled the name.Soon, realization struck me. It was Zeana, Scott's mother!"Ha!" I couldn't stop the mocking and bitter smile spreading across my lips.I couldn't even do anything against anyone in the Finnen Family, and now I had to deal with Zeana.How very "important" I was. All of them wanted me dead. Was I now doomed?"Everyone, get her! Kill her!"At the chubby woman's order, the other women charged at me.I was thrown to the ground once more. Then, punches began to rain dow
