“Those useless thugs you’ve hired have all been drugged. They’re all out cold in the security room. Your house is like a public park now. Anyone can come and go whenever they want, including Zachary Connor, who’s eager to take your life.”“Argh!” Tiffany screamed.“Zachary… He’s blacklisted me. He’s gotten what he wanted. My debt with him has been paid. Why is he trying to kill me?”“Aren’t you good with schemes? When did you become so stupid? You’ve done so much to hurt Charlotte Simmons. Do you really think that Zachary would write off your debt?”The man’s eyes were as sharp as knives, emitting a dangerous, cold light in the darkness.Tiffany shivered.“Who are you? How do you know so much?”The man smirked. “Why, I’m your mysterious backer.”Tiffany gasped. “So it’s you! You… You’re finally willing to see me… Could you step into the light? I want to see your face.”“You’re not worthy.”The man’s grim voice sounded like he had risen from the depths of hell.“Remember, I’v
Lucas, who was standing behind Zachary, said with a grin, “Hurry it up then, or Second Master’s patience will run out. He’ll cut off your tongue, and then you’ll lose your chance at leniency.”Tiffany trembled as if she had been shocked by a jolt of electricity. Her already pale, sickly face was now so white that it had no color at all.“Eleven months ago, I had just escaped from Burasia to Rothesay. A mysterious man contacted me. He had his subordinates transfer some money to me and promised to help me break Bryson and Carlie’s relationship, wipe off my filthy past in Burasia, and help me live happily ever after with Bryson, as long as I did exactly as he said…”“Hah!”Lucas burst into laughter.“You and that schmuck, Bryson, are certainly living happily ever after. You’ve been playing him like a fiddle. You must be very happy. You’ve cheated on him countless times, so he must be very happy too. You’re such a happy couple… Oh…”Lucas met Zachary’s icy glare, so he promptly shut
Zachary, who was as noble and majestic as a king, had his back against her. His eyes were as profound as the sea.“It’s true. I am a man of my word. I said that I would spare you if you told me the identity of the person who had schemed against Charlotte and me and where our baby is. But you failed to disclose anything. So, you’ll have to die.”“Argh!” Tiffany let out a shrill scream full of despair.She knew, this time, she was doomed!Zachary had always known of the things she had done to hurt Charlotte, but he didn’t have proof at the time. Hence, he couldn’t do anything to her.Now, he had discovered the truth behind that night, eleven months ago. Knowing Zachary’s resolute decision-making style, he was not going to let her get away with this!Tiffany watched as Zachary’s cold and distant figure drew further and further away toward the doorway. She scrambled to her feet and tried to run after him. “Mr. Connor— ARGH!”She screamed—Lucas had kicked her in the back of her knees
“That’s enough.”Charlotte cut her off.“I know you’d never confess unless I had evidence, but it’s fine. You’re going to die soon anyway. Your confession no longer matters. You’re going to get your just desserts anyway. You’ll never hurt anyone again, you snake.”“You can’t do this to me, Carlie. Despite all of the wrong things I’ve done to you, I’ve inadvertently stitched you and Zachary together!” At this point, saying anything else was useless, so Tiffany decided to bite on this particular subject. She held Charlotte tightly as she stared at Zachary with tears in her eyes.“Mr. Connor, if it weren’t for me, you and Carlie would never have met. I’m your matchmaker. You wouldn’t kill your own matchmaker, regardless of all of the things I’ve done, would you?”Charlotte wasn’t sure if she should laugh or cry.She never imagined that Tiffany would use that to beg for mercy.Tiffany’s blatant lack of dignity had wiped Charlotte’s sense of logic clean.Lucas stuck his middle finge
However, she wasn’t going to step on his toes from now on!The sounds of footsteps could be heard, one after another.Lucas led eight men into the bedroom, two of which were carrying a professional camera. The other six surrounded Tiffany like a mop circling around a bucket.Those six men were exceptionally ugly. None of their faces even looked remotely human—they were as disgusting as one could imagine. Tiffany was hit by a wave of nausea when she saw them. Then, she crawled to her feet and tried to escape.However, she was caught by a large hand filled with red calluses, carried and thrown onto the bed.“Don’t touch me!”A large hole was torn in her pajamas. Then, another few pairs of hands attacked her and tore her pajamas into shreds.The six ugly men had never seen a delicate, fair woman like Tiffany before, so they pounced on her like hungry wolves set upon a lamb.Charlotte, who stood by the bed in a daze, saw the entire thing. She couldn’t tear her gaze away.“Are you
“Argh—”The screams sounded like a drift of squealing pigs. They were so loud that they hurt the ears of everyone present.It did not come from Zachary but Bryson instead.Bryson’s stab attempt was swift, accurate, and ruthless, but he did not even get to see how Zachary evaded it. As soon as he recovered from the trance, Zachary’s foot had already landed on his chest.Although Bryson was much stronger than an ordinary man, he still could not stand Zachary’s heavy kick. He fell on his back onto the bed, with blood oozing out of his mouth, and he lost his ability to fight.“Are all of you deaf? He’s getting in my way, so get your *ss here and tie this person up!” Zachary’s voice was as cold as a blizzard.“Yes, President Connor.” The two men who came back to their senses tied Bryson to the chair beside the bed as quickly as possible.The six unattractive men once again assaulted Tiffany, who was curled up in the corner.“Stop! Don’t touch her with your dirty hands! If you dare
It was because an unsightly man had gotten his hands onto her.“Mmmmm—” Bryson’s body trembled violently together with the chair that he was chained to.At that moment, Charlotte could not help but be attracted to Tiffany.Tiffany somehow managed to muster enough strength from thin air to push the man who was about to assault her away. “Get away from me!”Unexpectedly, this feeble woman suddenly erupted with such great strength that the man was dumbfounded. The half-naked Tiffany suddenly stepped onto the head of the bed and climbed onto the window sill.One of the men reached out to pull her. She screamed, kicked the man’s hand away, and opened the window.“I won’t let anyone except Bryce tarnish my chastity again, even if it means to die. If either one of you dares to lay another finger onto me, I’ll jump from here!”It was so touching that Bryson’s eyes were filled with tears.At the same time, the heartache he felt within his chest worsened because of his inability to save
Bryson turned on the recorder dubiously.Tiffany’s voice immediately sounded. “Mr. Connor, I don’t know what happened. And what did I do to offend you? Why would you break into my house all of a sudden—”“That’s enough!” Zachary’s indifferent voice interrupted Tiffany. “Now, answer my question.”“...”“Eleven months ago, I had just escaped from Burasia to Rothesay. A mysterious man contacted me. He had his subordinates transfer some money to me and promised to help me break Bryson and Carlie’s relationship, wipe off my filthy past in Burasia, and help me live happily ever after with Bryson…”“Ever since I moved to Burasia, I had nothing when I returned to Rothesay. If I followed that mysterious man’s instructions, he could give me money, love, and everything I’ve ever wanted. So, I agreed and decided to become one of his pawns.”Upon hearing this, the emotions beaming in Bryson’s eyes turned from anger to shock, doubt, and disappointment!Tiffany was also struck by lightning.
