Verna also looked at Steven, her heart pounding with fear. From the moment she was brought here, a cold chill had been running down her spine, and she was drenched in sweat.
But she didn't dare speak, even lowering her head to avoid his gaze.
Steven's cold eyes were fixed on Verna as he strode into the room.
The door was closed by Gordon.
The air instantly grew tense, so heavy that no one dared to breathe too loudly.
Verna was trembling with fear. She had seen Steven lose control before, and it was absolutely terrifying.
And after being entangled with him for several lifetimes, she could sense that this time, he was coming for her.
Still, she couldn't help but try to find a way out for herself.
"Mr. Lancaster, to go to such lengths to kidnap me from your brother's villa in the middle of the night... has something happened?"
"Your wife is pregnant. You should be by her side. Her body, her safety—that should be your top priority. If something really needs to be done, you don't have to handle it yourself. You could just delegate it to someone else."
When she said "her body, her safety," her emphasis was obvious.
Others might not have understood, but Steven knew exactly what Verna was implying.
A cold smirk touched his lips as he sat down on the sofa.
"I rarely admire anyone, but you're an exception. To be this vile is truly a rare sight."
Verna's face instantly paled. She bit her lip, looking as if she had been deeply humiliated, but she didn't dare to talk back.
Thomas's heart trembled. Just as he was about to defend her, Steven's icy voice cut through the air.
"Thomas, do you want me to restore your allowance?"
Thomas's eyes lit up. "Really? Of course, I do! I dream about it! You cut off all my cards because of Zephyra. I've been living a miserable life for months!"
Steven's expression didn't change. "Verna pushed Zephyra down the stairs and caused her accident. You know what to do, don't you?"
Thomas's face fell. "Verna?"
