Lisa trembled when she heard what Nollace said. Her teeth chattered so much that she couldn’t finish her sentence. “I admit that it's quite realistic when you put on that suicide act, but if you really wanted to die, you should've cut deeper.”Nollace pulled the pen drive out of his computer and continued. “Honestly, I should thank you. If it hadn't been for you, I wouldn't have such a fabulous video to show to my uncle. The adopted daughter of the Knowles is trying to seduce the descendant of the Knowles. I can't wait to see my uncle's reaction when he sees this recording.”“No…” Lisa was filled with fear. Her voice was thick with a sob as she pleaded, “I’m sorry, Nollace. My emotions just got the best of me, and I promise I won't do it again!”“Peter.”No sooner had Nollace’s voice died away, Peter pushed the door open and came inside. Lisa’s face sank when she saw Peter. She did not expect him to be here the entire time. Nollace handed the flash drive to Peter and said, “G
Lisa only needed to make it look like she did so because she loved Nollace too much. She was certain that her godfather would understand her.“Have you gone out of your mind?” Tristan growled, his voice thick with anger.Lisa froze on the spot when she realized that Tristan was shouting at her.“I took you under my wing because I pitied you, and you saved my life. However, I didn't ask you to do such a shameless thing in the Knowles mansion. It seems like Nollace is right about you. Letting you live here is the worst decision I've made.”Lisa’s pupils constricted. “But I saved your life—”“Talking about that.” Tristan paused for a few seconds, and his face sank. “I made a rash decision four years ago. It never occurred to me that the accident turned out to be a scheme.”Her body began to shake, and her face turned bloodless. However, she knew she couldn’t admit it as she said, “How can you suspect me? I was only 14 years old that year. There’s no way I’m capable of such schemes.”
“Yeah, I saw the news, and they’re pretty serious about it. I heard that girl tried to seduce Young Mr. Knowles last night. I don't understand where she got the courage to go into his room naked.”“She has fallen low enough to give the people in the black market permission to take videos of her doing that kind of thing, so I don't find it strange that she would try to seduce Young Mr. Knowles.”Colton happened to pass by the corridor when he heard their conversation. He squinted, and when he thought about those videos that he had uploaded to the internet that time, he felt revolted.Nollace had sent him those recordings, so he figured that Nollace must have something to do with it.He had to admit that Nollace was indeed more ruthless than he was when it came to punishing his enemy.There were two things that a girl like Lisa cared about the most—reputation and chastity, and Nollace had completely crushed both of them.“Colton!” Daisie’s voice pulled him back to reality. He tur
Freyja was stumped. None of them spoke for a long while, and then a chuckle broke the silence.Daisie frowned. “What are you laughing at?”“You, of course. You looked funny just now.” Freyja held her laugh back and looked at her. “So what if we’re roommates? It doesn’t mean you can—”“Do you want me to expose your true identity?” Freyja was rendered speechless. She couldn’t hold herself anymore and rose to her feet. “Are you threatening me?”“Yeah, I’m threatening you. I’m going to tell everyone in the college that the kid is your brother’s daughter, and you’re just helping him to take care of her.” Freyja chuckled and asked, “Are you not worried that he will come to you for trouble?” Daisie crossed her arms in front of her chest and replied, “That's exactly what I would want him to do. I'm not afraid of trouble. After all, this isn't the first time I've been in trouble.”Freyja was stunned. Initially, she planned to ignore her and give her the cold shoulder to force her t
Nollace was stunned, lowered his gaze, and let off a sudden chuckle after a while. “Is it because of me?”He then leaned forward and moved half an inch closer to her. “Then do tell me, what did I do to upset you?”Daisie dodged his gaze and looked away. “I heard that... Lisa tried to seduce you last night.”Nollace stared at her as if he did not expect her to be angry because of this, and she clearly looked very jealous.He smiled. “Do you mind this?”“How can I not mind that? You’re my boyfriend, and she’s already done that to you. Even I haven’t—” Daisie forced the remaining sentence that almost blurted out back down her windpipe.‘What I wanted to say is that even I haven’t done it to him yet.‘But how can I have such an outrageous idea? If Nollace were to know about this, he would definitely think that I’m a promiscuous and horny lady.’Nollace looked at her fixedly. “What have you not done?”She hurriedly changed her words. “I haven’t... I haven’t even entered your bedroo
At the hospital…A figure appeared at the door after Lisa left the ward.Lara was sitting on the edge of the bed, and her gaze looked dim until the moment she heard footsteps approaching. She turned around and could not help but ask warily, “Who are you?”The man smiled. “Young Master Knowles asked me to tell you that he can let things slide this time around.”Lara was surprised and astonished for a split second, but she then sneered. “Do you think I’ll need him to let me go now? I’ve lost everything now, so I’m not afraid of anyone.”Those who had lost everything would have nothing else to lose, so she had nothing to worry about at this moment.The man approached her. “Ms. Reese, do you know Mr. Matthews?”Donald Matthews—it was impossible for Lara not to know this name. He was a man who had managed to make all women in Yaramoor feel afraid.‘This man, Donald Matthews, invited me to dinner several times, but I rejected all of them because I knew the reason behind all his invit
Lara wore a wide hat, covering half of her face, which was wrapped in bandages. She had not recovered from her injuries, and when she was discharged from the hospital, her entire face was still rather inflamed and bloated. Compared to Lisa, who was dressed in an extremely vibrant and glamorous dress, Lara could not look any more ordinary.In the past, she would not allow any other woman to look more gorgeous than her and snatch all attention from her at a party or banquet.But she could only hope she had made herself ugly enough tonight.The waiter brought them to a private room, and the two men waiting outside the private room pushed the door open for them.The man sitting in the private room was wearing a blue suit. He had a profound facial profile, a well-built figure, a typical aquiline nose, and a pair of blue, stern-looking eyes.He poured a glass of red wine, took a sniff from the glass, and said in a hoarse voice, “I’ve invited you out for dinner many times before, and you
The situation carried on until a figure slammed his silverware on the table. The sound was not thunderous, but it was loud enough to shock everyone at the table. The three of them raised their heads, and Colton had already sat down.Daisie was stunned for a while and quickly withdrew her hand that was under the table. “Colton...”Colton and Nollace confronted each other with a series of glares—the two of them looked exceptionally unpredictable and unfathomable.Daisie did not dare to say anything at this moment for fear she would say something wrong that would spark a brawl between Colton and Nollace.In the end, it was Nollace who broke the solemn and awkward atmosphere. “You rarely come to this dining hall, Colton.”Victoria College’s dining halls had a wide variety of food, but most of them offered Western food, and the price was slightly lower.In addition to the canteens, there were also restaurants in the college that offered more exotic cuisines.Most of the students came
