"Since you've been tempted, why do you reject me?"
"Because..."
Sharon sighed. "I can't go the wrong way because of a little temptation. Indeed, I yearn for my father to wake up, but I can't choose to go with you because you can help my father. If I chose you because of this temptation today, next time I'm likely to choose someone else if other temptations come my way... Mr. Frazier, this is how greed and desire grow in one's heart. I don't want to become the kind of person I hate."
She chose to marry Stanley because of money, which was already a mistake she made. She didn't want to repeat the same mistake because of this.
Liam looked at her in a daze. Her words seemed to carry some kind of power and hit him in the heart word by word.
There was a moment of blankness in his mind, and he actually lost the ability to think.
The Jones Family had treated him unfairly since he was a child. His mother was killed but his so-called father did not seek justice for her. Since then, hatred was planted in his heart day by day.
He swore to take back everything that belonged to him. As the seed of desire sprouted in his heart, his greed and desire were so massive after so many years that it was impossible to satisfy them.
He wanted more. He wanted to overthrow the Jones Family personally; he wanted to see Stanley, who had been high and mighty since he was young, kneeling in front of him; he wanted to see that so-called father approve of him...
It was not until Sharon pushed the chair away and stood up that he came to his senses. "Thank you for your lavish dinner in such a nice place. I'm afraid I can't repay your favor for the time being even if I want to." She said with a smile.
Liam's eyes flickered and he fixed his glances on her.
She tilted her head and smiled, teasing herself, "When I make a fortune one day, I will definitely treat you to a good meal, and I will pay you back, including interest. What do you say?"
As the saying goes, a man with no money is no man at all.
Alas, she was still a poor student now and was incomparable to these rich people.
The smile on Sharon's face was very sweet and lovely. Although she didn't put on any makeup, she looked very charming and refreshing. Liam stared at her, feeling something fidgeting his heart.
She watched in shock as he pushed the chair away, leaned over, lifted her chin, and kissed her.
What the f*ck!
D*mn it!
Sharon felt as if a bomb exploded inside her head as her mind was totally blank and she was in a daze that she couldn't move for a few seconds. After that, she suddenly composed herself and began to resist.
"Uh..."
She struggled but found that she was too weak and couldn't break free from Liam's tight embrace.
She was shocked and furious, but she could do nothing about it.
There were even applause and whistles around them as the diners in the restaurant began to heckle, thinking that they were a couple who was displaying affection publicly. These onlookers applauded and cheered them on.
Sharon was so anxious yet she couldn't do anything about it. Liam who was kissing her forcibly became more and more overbearing and fierce.
In the beginning, Liam hesitated a little, but after kissing her and tasting her sweetness, the hesitation became a kind of affirmation.
He wanted more!
He kissed her deeper and deeper. He wanted to pry open her tightly closed lips and explore her more...
Sharon perceived his intensifying possessive desire and began to feel scared. She resisted harder and harder, using her limbs to kick and slap him.
The diners in the restaurant gradually noticed that something was wrong, but they hesitated and did not go up to help.
Sharon was so anxious that she was about to cry. Suddenly, the world seemed to quieten down at once, and the steady and familiar footsteps resonated.
It was...
At the thought of him, Sharon's heart began to beat violently.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer...
Then, the forceful power on her lips suddenly disappeared.
Sharon was free. She covered her mouth and immediately retreated. Instinctively, she wanted to hide in a safe place.
It was at this time that the women's exclamation echoed.
"Ah..."
"They're fighting..."
Sharon looked up and saw Liam fell to the ground.
Standing in front of Liam, Stanley raised his fist and punched it down hard.
Liam grunted, and soon there was blood on the corner of his lips.
Stanley's eyes turned scarlet as he punched again.
Liam kicked him that sent Stanley to take two steps back.
Liam wiped his mouth, and the red blood on the back of his hand stimulated every cell in his body. A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he picked up a chair next to him and hurled it at Stanley.
With a bang, the chair hit heavily on Stanley's arm, and the wooden chair was instantly torn apart!
But Stanley stood still and didn't move, even his expression didn't change, as if he couldn't feel any pain.
However, Sharon grimaced in pain, feeling as if the chair was slammed directly on her.
Her tears fell uncontrollably and she shouted, "Liam, stop!"
"Stop, all of you!"
Yet the two men didn't listen to her at all. They were like two fierce beasts.
