Chapter 1941

Seeing Savannah smiling so warmly at Joanna felt like a needle stabbing Liliana's heart. Her face turned pale, and after standing for so long, she realized her legs had gone stiff.No one inside the private room had noticed her, nor did they have any idea about the turmoil she was experiencing.Liliana felt as if she had lost her mind for even standing there, watching.She bit down hard on her lower lip, only snapping out of her trance when the sharp pain brought her back to reality.A bitter smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Before anyone inside could notice her, she turned and quickly walked away. However, her unsteady steps betrayed the chaos inside her.…Inside the room, Joanna sat across from the middle-aged couple, her hands clasped tightly together, clearly nervous."I had no idea… that you two were Sean's parents," she said shyly.Sean narrowed his eyes slightly at her words.Savannah studied Joanna and found herself liking her more and more."Sean, so you and

No parent disliked hearing their child being praised, and Savannah was no exception. She genuinely believed Sean was outstanding, so hearing Joanna's compliments only made her even more pleased. She found Joanna even more likable.From beginning to end, however, Sean, the person being praised, showed little reaction. The only reason he had come today was because Savannah had called him and insisted that he join them after finishing surgery.Sean had always been carefree and indifferent, but he cared deeply for his family—especially for Savannah, the woman Hayes had always cherished.Savannah had told him she was hosting a dinner for the person who had saved her life. If he did not come, he might as well stop calling her his mother.Since she had put it that way, even if Sean was unwilling, he still had to show up. However, he was slightly surprised to see that the guest of honor was Joanna.Sean was well aware of Joanna's feelings for him. The admiration in her eyes whenever she l

Liliana tugged at the corners of her lips, but her attempt at a smile felt painful. Raising a hand, she slapped herself hard, hoping to jolt herself awake.Her face burned with pain, and her stomach churned as if it were on fire. There was an unbearable discomfort spreading through her.She turned on the faucet, scooped up a handful of cold water, and splashed it onto her face. The chilling sensation shocked her system, clearing some of the haze clouding her mind.Bracing herself against the sink, she stayed like that for a long moment before letting out a short, bitter laugh.The right side of her face still stung from the slap, but at least she felt more awake now.Liliana lingered in the restroom a while longer, waiting until she felt completely sober before staggering out.The moment she stepped outside, a strong smell of cigarette smoke filled her nose. She turned slightly and saw a man standing near the designated smoking area.He leaned casually against the wall, his long

Sean stared blankly at his own hand, still hovering in the air where he had grabbed Liliana's arm. His brows furrowed slightly as if he could not believe what he had just done.Even though Liliana had mentally prepared herself, seeing Sean's reaction still sent a faint pang through her chest. However, she quickly regained her composure, lowering her gaze to where his hand had held her arm.In a calm voice, she asked, "Mr. Smith, did you need something from me?"As soon as she spoke, Sean recoiled and pulled his hand back as if he had just touched something filthy.Liliana's expression darkened for a brief moment, but she quickly masked it. She continued to smile at Sean, waiting for him to say something.Sean was not sure what was wrong with him. It seemed that every time he ran into Liliana, something inside him shifted in an unfamiliar way.He had no idea why he had instinctively grabbed her just now. It had happened so naturally that by the time he realized what he was doing,

Peter? Mr. Smith?The difference in treatment was almost laughable. In the past, whenever they went out together, Liliana would always follow behind him and constantly chirp his name.Back then, she had been terrified of Peter. Now, she would rather go to Peter than to him if she needed help.Sean admitted to himself that at this moment, he felt something indescribable. On one hand, Liliana was finally doing exactly what he had asked. On the other, her damned obedience infuriated him.Sometimes, he wished she would not be so obedient. If only she could…Sean was suddenly startled by his own thoughts. His brows furrowed deeply as he stared at Liliana, his expression dark and unreadable.Liliana had no idea how to interact with him anymore. No matter what she said, he always seemed dissatisfied.She stood there, silently looking at him. Sean looked back at her."Sean?"It was Joanna's voice that finally broke the tense silence.Liliana did not know when Joanna had arrived or ho

Chapter 1946

Joanna's cheeks flushed slightly as she studied Sean's face. It was sculpted to perfection as if crafted by the hands of a divine artist.Not only had he been blessed with such striking features, but he was also exceptionally talented, capable, and charismatic.Joanna recalled the first time she had seen Sean at Vista University. Back then, he had not yet developed the calm maturity he exuded now, but his presence had already been overwhelming. From that moment, she had been unable to take her eyes off him.Now, after years of refinement, this man had only grown more irresistible.Joanna swore to herself that no matter what it took, she had to have Sean. Even if she had to use every trick in the book, she would make sure he belonged to her.She gazed at him with unconcealed adoration, her emotions laid bare for anyone to see. However, Joanna's affection was completely different from Liliana's.Liliana had also claimed to like him, but she had always been cautious. She would follo

Chapter 1947

Sean's words were almost merciless.A sharp blade inflicted instant pain, but a dull knife that was slow and relentless was far crueler.Had he delivered a swift, clean cut, Joanna might not have felt such piercing agony. However, Sean's deliberate indifference was like a blunt blade, dragging through her flesh and prolonging the torment.It did not cut deep enough to end her suffering, but it scraped and pulled, leaving her in excruciating pain that was worse than death itself.Joanna's face turned pale. She bit her lip, at a complete loss for words.She stared at Sean, feeling as though she no longer recognized him. He was nothing like the man she had known back in university.Yet even so, she loved him. She loved him to the point of madness, to the point of no return.Taking a deep breath, she decided there was no longer any need to hide her feelings. Since Sean had already seen through her, there was no point in pretending."Sean, I like you. I've liked you since the moment

Chapter 1948

After leaving the restroom, Liliana returned to the private dining room. By then, everyone had already drunk quite a bit, and the business discussions were nearly wrapped up.As a newcomer, Liliana had also been pulled into drinking rounds and, despite her attempts to pace herself, she was still just a rookie. There was no way she could outlast these seasoned drinkers.She had no idea how much she had consumed. Her stomach churned uncomfortably, and her head spun, making her feel increasingly out of control. The sensation sent a wave of alarm through her.Her supervisor, who had been watching her quietly, exchanged a glance with the representative from the other company. Quickly understanding the signal, Edmund Hughes took the opportunity to step closer to Liliana, reaching out to touch her lightly."Liliana?"Her head buzzed, and she faintly registered someone calling her name. When she looked up, a large face appeared alarmingly close. She frowned."Mr. Hughes?"Edmund's heart

Liliana shook her head, trying to clear her mind. She then lifted her gaze to the group of people behind her. She had not expected them to stand idly by, openly allowing Edmund to take her away.If she had not snapped out of her drunken haze just now, what would have happened to her?Liliana was an adult, and she understood the consequences all too well. The clearer those consequences became, the darker her expression grew.Clenching her fists, she quickly rummaged through her bag. She pulled out her phone and dialed Peter's number. The call had barely rung twice before he answered."Peter—"Before she could finish her sentence, her phone was snatched from her hand and flung aside."You little bitch!" Edmund snarled. "You should consider yourself lucky that I want you, and you dare to make a call? No matter who you call upon, no one's saving you tonight."Seeing that coaxing her was not working, he signaled the men behind him. Within seconds, they closed in, surrounding Liliana

Liliana's eyes burned with hatred as she glared at Edmund."Even if I die, I won't let you defile me," Liliana spat.With that, she bit down hard on her tongue. Blood gushed from her mouth, spilling over her lips in a gruesome display.A few of the men hesitated, realizing things were getting out of hand. However, Edmund only grew more excited. He grabbed a fistful of Liliana's hair and slapped her across the face, hard."Feisty! Let's see how far you can go!" he sneered.Seizing her by the collar, he yanked her up and slammed her onto the table.Her scream, mingled with the gasps and jeers from the onlookers, filled the entire room.Liliana had lost all hope. A hollow laugh escaped her lips as she stopped struggling.Noticing her resignation, Edmund gripped her chin and smirked. "And here I thought you were some virtuous little saint. Turns out, you're nothing special."With a loud rip, he tore away the last of her clothing, leaving only her camisole and underwear. Then, he t
