Zayn had no choice but to acknowledge that Mr. Donough did appear very imposing indeed. He was not old, yet he exuded an extraordinary quality and was truly handsome. Most importantly, he looked masculine, unlike those feminine, weak boys out there. Many young men these days spent their days in bars and clubs all year long and wasted their health away despite their young age, which made them appear especially frail. On the other hand, Mr. Donough did not look like that, which was rare for a man of his age. “Huh…”Zayn raised an eyebrow. The sight of Mr. Donough had caught his attention!He had not planned on paying attention to the man. After all, no matter how successful this man’s business empire was, he was still a weakling in Zayn’s eyes. Zayn was the ferocious man who managed to kill Murica’s most powerful man, so he would not take any heir to a business empire seriously. Still, he was drawn to Mr. Donough’s presence. Beyond his masculine appearance, Mr. Donoigh was
Though it quickly vanished, there was anxiety and dread in Annabelle’s eyes when she saw Mr. Donough. Given her current situation, this was her only option. It was a task assigned to her by her company. If she failed to please Mr. Donough and ruin the collaboration, according to her contract, she would need to pay a lot of money as compensation!She did not have such a large amount, so she would be doomed if she had to pay.Thus, she could only grit her teeth and endure it no matter how unwilling she was. She hoped that Mr. Donough was not a brute who would force himself on her without her consent!There were times when a woman was so helpless that there was nothing else she could do. She remembered the tall, muscular figure from her past. If Zayn had been there, she figured he would certainly protect her. What a shame that she had only imagined him. Her feelings for him were one-sided. He had been on her mind so many times over the past year, but Zayn never showed up.Given th
“Is that so? I look forward to it then, heh-heh.”When he said that, his expression was extremely wretched and perverted. Every person there was an adult, so they understood very well what he meant. It was apparent that he was going to use the unspoken rule on Annabelle. Such situations were not uncommon. Indeed, they were rather frequentHowever, Annabelle relied on her talents and hard work to make her way in the entertainment industry for so long. Ever since joining show business, she had never climbed the ladder through foul means. Even so, with her career in decline, she was forced to abide by the unspoken rule and found it to be extremely saddening and painful. Whatever she felt, there was nothing she could do to resist at that point. She could only accept it in silence. She felt very uneasy from Mr. Donough’s stare which seemed to be undressing her.Being in a situation like that, she could not help but think about Zayn. Although he was not that good-looking, Zayn
His expression had changed so quickly. He was still beaming a moment ago, yet he had turned solemn in a flash. Moreover, he was a perfect-class master fighter, so he was quite intimidating. How would a weak woman like Annabelle withstand his presence?All at once, Annabelle’s body shook violently in fear. Rose and the others were startled even more. She hastily said, “Please don’t be angry, Mr. Donough. Annabelle is just joking with you. She isn’t allergic to alcohol and she’s quite a good drinker.”Rose glared at Annabelle and said, “Anna, Mr. Donough is a great man. Consider yourself lucky that he wants to toast to you. Have a few drinks with him!”Annabelle felt aggrieved because she really was allergic to alcohol. Moreover, she had a very poor tolerance, so she would become intoxicated with just a small drink.She was no fool and could tell that Rose was rushing to get her into Mr. Donough’s bed so she could serve his needs. She was regarded as a tool to make money!Previous
Tears welled up in Annabelle’s eyes and she felt extremely aggrieved. However, there was nothing else that she could do. She could only compromise for the good of everyone. Rose whispered in her ear, “Think about your current situation! You’re no longer the queen that you were in the past. You’re not a famous celebrity. Nobody’s talking about you anymore, are they? It’s because of your arrogance and your poor temperament that you’ve offended way too many moguls in the entertainment industry in our country. They’ve now joined forces to force you out! Mr. Donough is your only way to rise again. If you can please him, he’ll certainly be able to boost your career when we’re back in the country!Noticing that Annabelle’s eyes were red with tears and looking grief-stricken, Rose softened her tone when she said, “Even if you won’t think for yourself, you must consider it on behalf of your family! If you were to fail at pleasing Mr. Donough this time, you’ll be breaching your contract. Ca
Annabelle nodded indifferently once again. It was as if she had already lost her soul, leaving only an empty husk of herself. The rest of the party watched them expressionlessly because they knew that Mr. Donough would certainly have a good time later. Rose smiled in relief. Her mission would be accomplished once Annabelle slept with Mr. Donough and she would be paid a handsome amount of money!As for Annabelle, she was just a tool to bring in more profit. Why would she bother with her survival?“We shall let you have some time alone then, Mr. Donough!” Rose said with a smile. Mr. Donough burst out laughing aloud. He was extremely delighted as he said, “Sure, sure.”Next, they opened the door of the private room only to discover a man was standing at the entrance. The man’s face was sallow and uninteresting, but he had a slim and tall build. A burly man angrily yelled, “Who the hell are you? Why are you blocking our way? Get the f*ck out of here!”Naturally, the intruder
He could not be bothered by a trivial disturbance initially because he was a perfect-class master fighter after all. He observed Zayn earlier and discovered that he was just an ordinary fighter who was much weaker than him. A small fry like Zayn was unworthy of his attention. He was only planning on having his subordinates beat up the insensible lad initially. It would be fine to let his subordinates break his hands and legs. However, his urge to kill had been triggered, so he immediately gave a new order, “All of you, take him. Beat him to death and toss his body into the river so it can be fish food.”“Yes, Mr. Donough!”Those subordinates smiled savagely upon hearing Mr. Donough’s order. They looked at Zayn like they were looking at a dead man. They were Mr. Donough’s subordinates and not bodyguards because he did not need their protection at all. On the contrary, they had been trained by Mr. Donough in martial arts. An ordinary master fighter was no match for them when they
Annabelle was deeply disgusted by his crude remark, but there was nothing else that she could do except abide helplessly. As it happened, they could hear loud collision noises when they had just begun to walk away followed by a series of agonized screams. Rose and the others shouted in fear, making Annabelle turn around instinctively. She immediately saw those thuggish subordinates lying on the ground immobile. In fact, two of the subordinates were even hanging from the ceiling fan. It was an extremely shocking sight to behold. “Boy, you’re a dignified perfect-class master fighter, yet you choose to bully a woman. Are you not ashamed of yourself?”After finishing off those burly subordinates, the stranger dusted off his hands before casually walking into the room. He had a lazy smile on his face as if he had just completed a menial task. On the other hand, Mr. Donough’s countenance changed drastically upon hearing that. His eyes darkened and he stopped walking. He glared at Za
