However, he didn't move at all; he tightened his grip on his hand, not because he wanted to win Roxana Nelson's favor, but if it weren't for that, he might have punched William's handsome face until it bloomed.

William seemed to glance at him absentmindedly, and a barely detectable trace of mischief appeared in his beautiful eyes. Richard Harris thought he was seeing things. This little brat doesn't seem as indifferent as I imagined!

"Let's go see the rabbit first!" He reminded them, but he wanted to separate the hands holding each other.

Roxana Nelson hesitated and let go of William's hand, quickly asking, "Where's the rabbit?"

William turned to the balcony, where a small cage with a silent rabbit lay inside. Its long ears drooped down without a hint of life. It was indeed very sick.

    William maintained his expressionless face, but his words surprised Richard Harris: "Do you like Roxana?" Richard Harris laughed, "It seems like that's none of your business!" William chuckled softly, his lips curling up, but his eyes showed no amusement. His chilly and eerie tone made Richard Harris feel uncomfortable, almost wishing he could punch that handsome face right then and there. It was clear that the devilish face before him was so cold and yet still resembled the sun, while his demeanor was angelic, graceful, perfect, and noble. William's face remained emotionless, but his words caught Richard Harris off guard: "If you like Roxana, don't hurt her. Otherwise, you'll regret it!" "Oh!" Richard Harris raised an eyebrow, "What will you do to me?" William calmly responded, "I won't do anything to you. Just remember my warning." Richard Harris couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. The air around William seemed to turn colder, and his eyes held an icy glare. The

Scream until your throat bleeds, but there's no one coming to help you. Today, I will make you mine!"Roxana Nelson struggled, but Juan Thomas held her hands tightly, and with force, he tore apart her long dress, revealing her tiny, pink panties.Greedy eyes gazed at Roxana Nelson, and as Juan Thomas's lips were about to descend, Roxana Nelson screamed, "Richard, save me!"She was on the v
