Chenney pushed Naomi to the floor. “What are you guys waiting for? Feel free to do whatever you want with this woman. I’ll record everything down.”Naomi shook her head in panic. When she saw the group of men lunging toward her, she shouted and struggled.Chenney let out a boisterous, guttural, and horrific laugh at the side while Jodie watched the scene before her with a pale face. It was only now that she realized what kind of terrifying woman she had worked with.Suddenly, a group of men clad in black broke open the door and rushed in. Just when Chenney was about to say something, she was kicked to the floor by a man clad in black.Before the group of men could fathom what was happening, all of them were pinned on the floor while Jodie took advantage of the chaotic situation and ran away.“Naomi!” Ryleigh ran inside, and she was stunned when she saw Naomi’s messy situation. She hurriedly went forward to grab her into her arms while a black-clad man took off his jacket and hande
Chenney was eventually sent to a fully enclosed psychiatric hospital on the city's outskirts.Naomi was discharged from the hospital three days later. While Anthony was helping her to go through the discharge procedure, she waited for him on the bench in the corridor.She turned her head around and saw an old man falling off his wheelchair. However, the nurse behind him did not see that. Just when she rose to her feet and was about to pick him up from the floor, a man was a tad faster than her and helped the old man back to his wheelchair.The old man grabbed his hand and said, “Thank you very much, kid.”“Don’t mention it,” the man replied with a smile.He patted the nurse behind the old man and said something to her. The nurse apologized to the old man and then pushed him away. Afterward, the man stepped into the elevator.“Naomi, it’s time to go home,” Anthony called out to Naomi.Naomi turned around, and a smile broke across her face. “Alright.”Several days later, at Royal
Only then did the bodyguard react and stare at the woman. “I’m sorry, miss. I’ll send you back.”The expressions that appeared on the woman’s face over the last few seconds were extremely varied and intense.‘I finally got a chance to approach such a young, filthy rich man from Yaramoor, and I just got sent back without even getting to spend time with him?‘And that woman, who is she?’Xyla walked to the parking lot and was about to open the car door when a figure suddenly pulled her into his arms. She was pressed against the car door before she could react, and her slightly open lips were completely sealed immediately.She struggled as his kiss almost suffocated her. When he jerked his hand away from her body, the buttons of her clothes gave up instantly.The sudden cold air that brushed across her chest hauled her back to her senses. “Have you lost your mind, Yorrick—”Yorrick pinched her by her chin and sealed her lips again.Xyla’s expression changed at once upon hearing th
Yorrick sneered, stood back up, and took a glance at the coat on the floor. “Wash it before you come out.”He then turned around and walked out of the bathroom.Xyla leaned against the wall helplessly all of a sudden, laughing at herself.‘What was I thinking the other night when I didn’t reject him? That’s the main reason this happened today, and it serves me right.‘So, this is what the end of all bad women looks like.’Xyla went out after taking a shower, did not turn on the lights in the living room, and was about to walk toward the guest room in the dark. Suddenly, everything in front of her eyes lit up, and the dazzling chandelier made her squint for quite some time.Yorrick’s voice came from behind. “Since you’re my lover now, you should know where to sleep.”Xyla lay down beside Yorrick, and just as she was about to turn her back to him, the man behind her said, “Hug me.”She gnashed her teeth, turned around, squirmed up to him, stretched out her arms, and hugged him st
Yorrick beckoned her to come over.Xyla walked over, and he wrapped his arms around her waist in public. “They’re all acquaintances. Do you want to give it a go?”Xyla smiled. “Yes.”Helios turned to look at Louis, turned around, and picked up his wine glass. “Since when did Xyla get together with Yorrick?”Louis shook his head and clinked his glass against Helios’. “I’m not sure about that.”Yorrick handed the cue stick to Xyla and looked at Louis. “Mr. Lucas, I heard that your billiard skills are up there. Don’t you want to play?”Louis could not help but think that Yorrick was trying to make fun of him!Helios seemed to have smelled something fishy and took a glance at both of them. He then squinted and smiled. As a person who had always been indifferent to such gossip, this was the first time he was that into a piece of gossip.Xyla knew what Yorrick had in mind.‘Is he trying to humiliate me by asking my ex-boyfriend, who’s now married, to play a game of billiards with me
Xyla’s expression froze slightly.Yorrick laughed. “Are you giving me another chance?”Xyla glared at him.‘Okay, that’s unfortunate!’“Have you come up with an idea on how you’re going to down that bottle of bourbon?” Yorrick walked to her side and easily pocketed the winning ball before Xyla could even react.He turned and looked at Xyla.Xyla put down the cue, turned around, walked up to the bottle of bourbon, and opened the bottle.Louis interrupted the series of actions at this time. “It doesn’t look like your style to make things this difficult for a woman, Mr. Hathaway.”The people surrounding the table could not help but look forward to what would follow that!Yorrick kept a straight face and only gave off a faint smile. “She’s the one who insisted on betting with me. I’m only acting according to what we agreed upon. Am I really embarrassing her?”Louis met his gaze. “I can’t see what you intend to achieve through this wager.”Yorrick replied calmly, “I don’t plan to
Louis chuckled. “Why would you think so? Are you regretting your decision to fight for me?”“What did you just say? I fought for you?” Ryleigh turned her face away. “You’re the one who clung to me first.”He smiled, took Ryleigh into his arms, and rested his chin on the top of her head. “Yes, I’m the one who’s clung to you, but my fondness for you is not something that I can control.”…It had been hours since Xyla blacked out. It was already dawn when she regained consciousness and opened her eyes. She realized that she was lying in a ward and lifted her hand to rub her forehead. Her body felt drained, while her head felt groggy.Mindy was in the chair next to the bed and saw her wake up. “Xy, are you alright?”“Who sent me here?” Xyla asked with a hoarse voice due to her dry throat.Mindy replied, “It was Mr. Boucher and Mr. Lucas. Mr. Lucas also called me and asked me to come to the hospital to accompany you.”Xyla asked her to help her sit up, and Mindy sighed. “Mr. Lucas a
Xyla didn’t know why she had suddenly dreamed of the past. Maybe her brain was almost forgetting, and the memory was prompting her?She looked at Yorrick, “Do you have any requirements for your lover?”Yorrick looked at her pinkish lips. “What do you think?”He wanted to get close, but Xyla put her hands on his shoulders and pushed him away. His eyes were dark, and then she slightly turned away. “I threw up last night and haven’t brushed my teeth. I don’t want to disgust you, thanks.”Yorrick chuckled and pressed his warm lips to her forehead. Xyla paused. What was that supposed to mean?Yorrick messed up the top of her hair and stood up. “Rest well.”“Xy, I bought…” Mindy brought some soup into the room and froze when she saw Yorrick as he was leaving.Mindy brought the soup to her after Yorrick left. “Was Mr. Hathaway… worried about you?”Xyla got out of bed and laughed. “He could be worried a few more times. The next time you might just see me in the funeral parlor.”Mind
