In the hotel suite, Oscar was leisurely sitting on the couch, waiting for Liya's arrival.
Actually, he preferred women who were more feminine and gentle like Liya compared to Zoella. Although Zoella was beautiful as well, she was too strong-willed, which turned him off. Women who were soft and feminine like Liya were endearing.
Liya unwillingly pressed the doorbell.
"Beauty, you're here." Oscar smiled and bared his yellow teeth, with his eyes full of lustful desire. With one hand, he picked Liya up, as if he was picking up a chick and walked towards the room.
"Mr. Jones, I beg you. Please let me go." Liya's entire body was trembling, and her face was pale as she begged in terror.
"If I let you go, then who will play with me?" Oscar would definitely not let her go. His face sank, and his gaze turned fierce and violent. Oscar would do nothing all day long. He would save his energy during the day, which caused his demands for women at night to become abnormally perverted.
At that time, he was like a hungry wolf facing a lamb that was going to be slaughtered. How could he give up on such delicious meat? He smiled sinisterly, took off his clothes in a hurry, and rushed towards her.
"No, Mr. Jones, don't..." Liya screamed in panic, but she couldn't stop Oscar's brute force. Soon after, her hands were tied by Oscar.
"Zoella, Oscar, I won't let you guys go. You devils." Liya gritted her teeth. While she endured Oscar's torment, her hatred for them grew more intensely like seeds that just sprouted.
When she woke up again, it was almost dawn. Oscar, who had tortured her with all his might, was sleeping like a dead pig at that time. Her hands were still tied up, and she was in a very miserable state right then.
She clenched her teeth and struggled to get up. She then moved to the bathroom and scrape the rope until it broke.
If she was not mistaken, when she was just ravaged by Oscar just then, she saw a bunch of keys on top of Oscar's trousers on the bedside table. That key was the key to the confidential information shared between the Jones Group and Sky Sword Group. Back on that day, the moment she turned her head around, she saw Zoella locking up the incriminating evidence that had been used against Jenna with that exact same key.
Obviously, only Oscar and Zoella could possess such a key. It was impossible for the others to have it.
She quietly walked over and took the key. Enduring the pain all over her body, she secretly walked out of the hotel.
There were still stars in the sky, and Liya was welcomed by the cool morning breeze.
After breathing such fresh air, Liya's mind became much clearer.
She could only get herself out of that situation by speeding up her actions. No matter what, she has to become the mistress of Richards Manor as soon as possible, and climb to the peak of the social ladder. She couldn't bear living such a horrible life any longer. If that kind of life continued on, her demise wouldn't be far away.
Zoella and Oscar. When she thought of those two, her eyes were filled with anger.
Early in the morning, a cool breeze blew in through the window.
Jenna opened her eyes.
Dawn had arrived.
She got up with a start.
That day, she had to go to the museum to bid for the jade fan for her mother. Her mother had never asked her for anything, but she specifically told her to come back in order to ask her for it. Therefore, she really shouldn't be careless with it.
A hand reached out from behind her and wrapped around her.
The temperature of his palm was warm. So, it was very comfortable upon feeling the palm's warmth with her skin.
"Jenna, you're up so early." Hansen's voice was gentle and magnetic, which was particularly pleasant to listen to.
Jenna lowered her head.
After getting enough sleep, Hansen's eyes were deep and spirited. He was looking at her with a smile. It seemed that he was really satisfied the night before.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Jenna knew what Hansen was thinking, to have brought her to Collier Manor. However, he would usually go to work early in the morning, but he was still on the bed with her right then, which puzzled her. So, she asked at once.
The corners of Hansen's lips curled up as he sat up. He hugged her and lowered his head to kiss her neck.
"Jenna, didn't Mom ask us to go to the museum to bid for the jade fan for her?" he murmured in her
ear.
"Yes, but Mom only asked me to go, not you," Jenna said lightly as she pushed his face away.
"Your business is my business. I'll go with you." Hansen was a little resentful when he saw how clearly Jenna was drawing the boundaries and corrected her immediately.
"Go and handle your own work. It's not a big deal. I can go alone." Jenna began to get up and get dressed.
As her soft and delicate body left Hansen, he felt a little empty. By the way, weren't they husband and wife? They shared the same bed everyday, but he felt that they were spending less time together. It was as if they were Romeo and Juliet, where they couldn't even stay together without going through many difficulties.
That made him feel uneasy.
"No, I'm not at ease. I want to go with you." Hansen also got up and began to wash himself. When he saw Jenna's busy figure, he comforted her. "This place is close to the museum. Don't be in such a hurry. We have plenty of time."
Jenna picked up the toothpaste and squeezed it on her toothbrush, casually asking, "So, the reason you took me here yesterday was because you wanted to go to the museum with me today."
"Sort of." Hansen smiled and added with a serious expression on his face, "This is our home."
Their home?
After she heard that, Jenna's hand trembled.
The night before, Liya had already moved into Richards Manor. Did he bring her there because he was afraid that she would be sad?
