Chapter One Hundred Seventeen "The organization's structure is truly impressive; otherwise, it would have collapsed years ago. But how many people are at the top remains just our speculation," Louis praised openly. BIK operates so boldly, yet its leadership remains shrouded in mystery, which intrigues him. "What we can do is send more people to infiltrate and avoid making any hasty moves. We must not disturb the hornet's nest. What do you all think?" Jethro suggested, knowing that BIK was gaining strength, and a direct confrontation might be disadvantageous at the moment. However, they still lacked a deep understanding of the organization. Harvey chuckled sarcastically upon hearing Jethro's words, "Your approach seems quite different from your usual style, Jethro. Since when did you choose the cautious path?" Jethro sensed the mocking tone in Harvey's remark but chose not to pay attention to it. After all, even though they were sitting at the same table, they held entirely differen
Chapter One Hundred EighteenHarvey smirked mockingly and sneered; he found it quite amusing. This woman really had a big ego, perhaps she had been pampered so much that she didn't know her place."True, if you hadn't reminded me, I might have forgotten that we once had a wedding ceremony. But, as you know, this marriage was never my intention. Don't delude yourself any further," he said.Before being forced into marrying Quinn, a wealthy family head had told Harvey that she was a highly skilled woman, adept at handling social situations, and knew how to please others, which was why she made it onto the list of heirs to the Reed family. However, now Harvey thought that the family head should reconsider the words he had spoken. Harvey found this woman to be nothing but a nuisance and trouble, and he couldn't see any positive qualities in her.Compared to his beloved Emma, Quinn was like a tiny ant underfoot.[What do you mean by that? Are you now trying to cancel the marriage? I won't
Chapter One Hundred and NineteenAs Gemma played the piano, she glanced over at Clement, who had never had direct contact with any musical instrument before, making him feel both new and thrilled. The melody she played was incredibly gentle and tender, just a little listening to it brought comfort, dissipating any worries.Clement looked up at his mother just as their eyes met, and in that moment, he was awestruck by Gemma's ethereal beauty. He knew his mother was beautiful and admired her looks, but at this instant, he couldn't bring himself to look directly into her eyes.Feeling embarrassed, Clement quickly turned his head away, and his face flushed red like a tomato. He clumsily tried to conceal his embarrassment, not wanting his mother to see it. Gemma chuckled softly, seeing her son in such a state.As the music came to an end, Gemma raised her hand and turned to ask her son, "What do you think? It was lovely, right?""Yes, it was beautiful. You never told me you could play the
Chapter One Hundred TwentyClement remained expressionless when mentioning the scars on his father's wrists. It wasn't because his father brought it up or told him about it; rather, Clement accidentally caught a glimpse of them during dinner. At that moment, he was taken aback by the numerous crisscrossing scars.However, due to Jethro's malevolent gaze, Clement dared not speak up and ask. The mere thought of it sent shivers down his spine. Gemma was still stunned by her son's words. Jethro always wore long-sleeved, dark-colored shirts and had never revealed such severe wounds in front of her."Could you have mistaken it, Clement?" Gemma forced a laugh, hoping that Jethro wasn't so mad as to harm himself like that.Clement tilted his head, pondered for a moment, and replied, "It's possible... but that was a long time ago, about two years ago."Clement stared at Gemma intently and continued, "After Mom committed suicide on that cliff."Gemma shuddered as she met Clement's cold and pier
Chapter One Hundred Twenty-OneJethro was very annoyed, but he had to suppress his irritation, not letting it show outwardly. Now he had to pretend that he had changed, that he was a good man so that Gemma would change her perception of him."All day, I had important matters to attend to, so I couldn't be by your side and Clement," Jethro said, smiling.Gemma raised her hand to stop Jethro. She wasn't here to listen to his explanations, and she didn't care about where he went."Your work is not related to me, and I have no interest in hearing about it," Gemma stated bluntly.Recalling the early days of their marriage, Jethro always used work and his company as excuses to avoid being at home with her. Every time Gemma asked about his work or how his day went, he would get annoyed and tell her it was none of her business, instructing her not to care.After so many years, he seemed to have forgotten it all quickly, but as her memories returned, Gemma became more vividly aware of things f
Chapter One Hundred Twenty-TwoGemma screamed loudly, the agony had reached its peak early on, but she managed to suppress it by thinking that one day she would escape Jethro and his watchful eyes, or at least patiently wait until he grew tired of her and stopped chasing her.But Gemma was wrong; Jethro seemed to be obsessed with her. He wouldn't let her go. Now, she had nothing left, and he still wanted something from her."Jethro, what is there left for me that you haven't taken? Speak up! I'll give it to you," Gemma yelled, not realizing that tears were streaming down her face as she spoke.Jethro wanted to approach and wipe away her tears, seeing her cry pained him deeply, and his heart felt constricted witnessing her like this. However, Gemma pushed his hand away forcefully, repulsed by his touch. Every time he touched her, a chain of painful memories from the past resurfaced. The awful and traumatic experiences he had inflicted upon her made her feel disgusted and haunted."Don'
Chapter One Hundred Twenty-ThreeGemma was momentarily taken aback by Jethro's words. She never thought that he would have such thoughts and feelings. Could this be his sincere confession? But even if he wanted to deceive her, there was no need for him to kneel and plead with tears and pain like this.Gemma trembled slightly, but she wouldn't allow herself to falter. "Then tell me why you brought a woman who looks like me home and bullied me together with her."Jethro jerked and anxiously grasped the corner of her coat like a desperate child. He lowered his head and remained silent for a long while before finally speaking, "After your father passed away, you stopped paying attention to me. You ignored me and tried to avoid me... I thought if I brought a woman who looks like you home, you would pay more attention to me."Gemma frowned, not seeing any connection between bringing that woman and Jethro wanting her attention. "What does bringing that woman home have to do with you wanting
Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Four In the early morning, Gemma couldn't sleep a wink. She felt the person beside her move, indicating that he was awake, so she immediately pretended to be asleep. She didn't want the first sight of the day to be the face of this perverted and villainous man. Jethro tenderly gazed at the woman lying in his arms, and his gaze lingered on her without moving away. Gemma thought that if he kept looking at her like this, she wouldn't be able to pretend anymore. Just as she was about to push him away, Jethro lightly kissed her forehead and buried his head in the nape of her neck, causing Goosebumps to rise all over Gemma's body. She had to suppress any sound and continue pretending to be asleep. Jethro, however, persisted in his inappropriate and disrespectful actions, even daring to slip his hand inside her clothes. At this point, Gemma couldn't pretend to sleep any longer and was about to push him away when... Fortunately, right at that moment, there was a
Chapter One Hundred Fifty-EightThe butler knocked on the door interrupting their conversation, Harvey was getting the momentum to tease Quinn when he lost interest but he still had to stop. Looking at Quinn's slender and somewhat weak body made him want to protect her even more.Quinn's physical strength is much weaker than Harvey's, not to mention the natural traits between the two sexes Quinn was raised as a little princess and Harvey also regularly meets and confronts dangerous elements. dangerous because he is simply not an ordinary man."Come in."Quinn had gone into the bathroom to wash off all that was left of her body, her whole body was wet and damp which made her very uncomfortable.The old housekeeper saw the clothes scattered on the floor and understood, so he only smiled slightly. His master finally got what he wanted."Grandfatherreplace Help me make the bed, I want to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner for her. At least make her comfortable without getting angry.” Ha
Chapter One Hundred Fifty-Seven Quinn completely lost consciousness, she just wanted her body to become more comfortable, completely unaware of what she was doing and forgot why she became like this. “Um… ha… ha… don't… ah… uh… that place… don't touch… it's very strange…” After that night, he had not touched a single woman, because everything made him nauseous and uncomfortable. Listening to the moans of the person under the fishnet, Harvey seemed to hear an invitation from her. His penis was so hard it was about to explode. He deliciously licked the juice that was sticking to his lips. “Your water is really delicious and fragrant. Does it feel good when you lick it like that? Do you like it?” The black pants with the penis quickly popped out, its shape was terrible, the veins bulged out, and clear liquid was flowing out from the glans of the penis. The huge penis was constantly twitching because of excitement and now it really wanted to penetrate her there. Harvey placed his pe
Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Six Quinn knew she had made a mistake, but she didn't want to admit it; admitting it would be extremely embarrassing. Harvey's words were meant to make her realize that she couldn't escape from here and that no one would come to rescue her. Unexpectedly, there were times when Harvey enjoyed his own mansion because it could make Quinn completely lose hope of calling for help. "YOU...!" Quinn growled, she really didn't want this, but she understood that her current situation was futile. She reluctantly bit her lip, expressing her helplessness and resignation. "Just a moment ago, you were screaming as if I were tormenting you, and now you're acting all sulky and crying like a child? You're really adorable, Quinn," Harvey said as he kissed her beautiful face, kissing away the tears streaming down it. "Hmmm... do whatever you want," Quinn gritted her teeth, enduring what was to come because she knew that making love was very painful, like feeling her body
Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-FiveHarvey held Quinn in his arms, observing her confusion and fear as he carried her. Despite her distress, she clung to him, and he held her tightly. In reality, her embrace was likely driven by her own fear, yet she held onto him as if seeking comfort.Slowly, Harvey approached the bedside and gently placed Quinn onto the bed. As her back made contact with the soft surface, she finally let go of him, allowing herself to be laid down. Just as she was about to spring up from the bed, Harvey swiftly caught hold of her ankle and pulled her back.With her right leg lifted and exposed, Quinn's dress was pulled up by this uncouth man, leaving part of her smooth, white buttocks visible in front of Harvey's eyes. Embarrassed and infuriated, she quickly tugged her dress down, a mix of shame and anger in her expression.Harvey seemed oblivious to his crude behavior towards the young woman, his gaze fixed on the exposed, tender skin of her buttocks. His grip on h
Chapter One Hundred Fifty-FourHarvey's smile froze and became awkward, he didn't need the documents in front of him to read, instead, he looked at Quinn and asked, "Quinn, what does this mean?"Quinn was fed up with Harvey's repetition. Just now, Harvey deliberately pretended not to understand what she was saying. She didn't pay attention, but the documents were right in front of her, so she couldn't pretend not to know anymore."You know very well, no need to ask me again. After you sign, I will ask my father to gather both clans to consider and annul our engagement. Fortunately, we haven't actually married, so we don't need lawyers for this." Quinn chuckled lightly and urged him to read.She didn't want things to spiral out of control and explode. She especially didn't want her parents to know that she met Harvey today to discuss these matters. If they found out she met Harvey to have him sign those documents, they would strictly forbid her.At present, even her parents had sided w
Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-ThreeThe conversation was going nowhere as Quinn deliberately failed to grasp her father's words. She kept shifting the topic, making someone as composed and gentle as Mr. Reed infuriated.Expelled from the living room, Quinn couldn't help but secretly chuckle. Of course, she understood the words her father uttered, and she comprehended them very well. After all, the current issue wasn't merely about the mutual benefits of the marriage alliance between the two clans. It had evolved into an entirely different matter, far beyond what Quinn could have imagined.Inside the living room, Mr. Reed sighed heavily, leaning back. "If Quinn continues like this, Harvey will lose his temper. I never expected him to end up desiring our daughter after vehemently opposing their engagement earlier."Mrs. Reed, who already held a deep dislike for Harvey due to prior events, was now even more annoyed as Harvey purposefully threatened her husband. However, she could only re
Chapter One Hundred Fifty-TwoMr. Reed sighed heavily, uncertain about what Harvey might do next. The documents and records detailing matters that affected the Reed family and his company were being handed over by Harvey's associates in excessive amounts. While he received only copies, the originals were in Harvey's possession. The longer this issue persisted, the more likely it would become public knowledge, jeopardizing the honor and reputation of the Reed family.Mr. Reed looked at Harvey and could sense that Harvey's patience had worn thin; hence, Harvey wanted a private meeting. "So, what do you want at last?" Mr. Reed inquired.Harvey calmly gazed at Mr. Reed, the man before him being the future father-in-law. Though Harvey was deliberately applying pressure, he didn't want this matter to reach Quinn's ears."You're aware, sir. I want your daughter. Quinn Reed," Harvey stated, revealing his sole desire.Mr. Reed narrowed his eyes as he silently evaluated Harvey. Initially, Mr. R
Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-OneHarvey clenched his fist in anger, crushing the wine glass beside him. He had spent a lot of time thinking about gifts for Quinn, trying to avoid repeating past presents. Yet, all he had received in return over these past times were cold indifference from her and her family."Summon V here," Harvey exhaled sharply, reaching for a tissue to wipe his hands before continuing to write his letter. Despite his discomfort, he pressed on with the unfinished letter.The delivery person heard Harvey's words like a lifeline, quickly escaping the room. A while later, the old steward also entered Harvey's office.The steward was elderly, but his demeanor remained composed and swift, never losing his elegance. He calmly inquired, "What do you need, sir?"Harvey didn't look at the steward, his attention still on writing the letter to Quinn. In the past, he had admired Gemma's beauty, which made writing letters to her effortless. But now, he couldn't do the same."Ho
Chapter One Hundred and FiftyQuinn's words had left Mrs. Reed unsure of what else to say to change her daughter's mind at this moment. Quietly observing her daughter's expression, it seemed that her daughter truly had no intention of altering her decision.After finishing breakfast, Quinn went out into the courtyard to enjoy the tranquility and fresh air. In the past, her mother often came here to have tea, finding it monotonous and uninteresting as she could only sit in one place without doing much.Unexpectedly, Quinn now found solace in this monotony. She could sit here all day without wanting to leave. A maid brought tea to Quinn and poured it for her. At the same time, another maid brought over pre-cut fruits and pastries."Do the two of you have any more tasks to attend to?" Quinn casually inquired.The maids thought Quinn was questioning them and became quite anxious. However, contrary to their thoughts, Quinn simply spoke again."If you're not busy anymore, join me for some t
