Clarence stood in the doorway of the room, holding his breath. His heart almost stopped.
He saw Miranda walk toward the bed.
William lay in bed, his eyes shining with pride. This woman would soon be his.
William was very pleased. At the same time, he scolded Clarence stupid.
Clarence had left a beautiful wife untouched for three years, and now William was getting to enjoy her.
âCome up here!â ordered William.
Miranda trembled as her teeth bit into her lip, blood nearly dripping from it.
âWhatâs the matter?
âArenât you going to come here?â William looked at Miranda playfully.
Then, taking his time, he pulled out a stack of papers from under his pillow and tossed them to Miranda.
âThis is just a bit of it, but itâs already enough to make the Murphy Property Development Group go bankrupt and put your parents in jail forever.
âAnd itâll all be because you didnât cooperate with me.â
Miranda jerked her head up. âNo... I... Iâll cooperate with you...â
âThen come up here!â William smiled callously.
Miranda slowly bent over to take off her heels and crawl onto the bed. Williamâs eyes glistened with a strange gleam. He picked up a remote control and gently pressed it.
A camera that had already been set up opposite the bed turned on and started recording.
âWhat are you doing?â Miranda turned pale when she noticed the camera.
William chuckled. âWe should capture a good moment on camera, of course.â
âShame on you!â
Mirandaâs body quivered with anger.
âHahaha!â
William laughed out loud. He had a wicked smile on his face. âDid you just find out that Iâm shameless?â
He ordered loudly, âTake off your suit.â
Miranda was stiff. She half-knelt on the bed, motionless.
William was patient. He knew Miranda would be his tonight, so he did not need to bother to do things himself.
He was going to crush Mirandaâs pride. He wanted her to strip herself naked.
It was the only way to conquer this woman.
âAre you not going to take it off? Alright, Iâll publish everything about Murphy Property Development Group, and then...â
âIâll take it off!â Miranda gritted her teeth and nodded as she took off her suit.
William had just poured a glass of wine on Miranda, so her white shirt was still clinging to her body, her beautiful curves fully displayed before Williamâs eyes.
âTsk tsk. Miranda, youâre beautiful.â
Williamâs eyes lost their focus. It was as if he was admiring a perfect work of art.
Sweat broke out on Mirandaâs forehead.
The womanâs breathing grew heavy as her body trembled slightly. She was looking at William, but Clarenceâs figure suddenly appeared to her.
At that moment, Miranda wondered if she would be more glad to see Clarence here, instead of William.
Suddenly, William grabbed Mirandaâs tiny hand. The woman instinctively jumped out of bed with a jerk and retreated to the edge of the wall with her back pressed against it, looking at William in horror.
âNo!â
William laughed maliciously. âHahaha! Why are you pretending to be innocent?
âYouâve sent yourself to me, no?â
William got out of bed and approached Miranda with a wolf-like glint in his eyes.
Miranda grabbed a lamp and threw it at William. William blocked it with his hand. The lamp glass exploded, slicing Williamâs arm and making it bleed profusely.
âFuck!
âAre you out of your mind?â
William rushed forward, grabbed the womanâs hair, and slapped her. âB*tch, how dare you throw that at me?â
Then, he kicked Mirandaâs stomach and grabbed her chin as Miranda doubled over due to the severe pain in her lower abdomen. âIâll destroy Murphy Group if you resist!â
Miranda closed her eyes. Her nose felt sore, and tears streamed down her cheeks. âClarence would never do this to me...â
She regretted not realizing how good Clarence had been to her until this moment.
William felt a surge of invisible rage at the sound of Clarenceâs name. âClarence! Clarence! Clarence!
âWhich part of me isnât as good as Clarence?
âHe married you but dared not touch you. Iâve pursued you for many years. I was about to do the undone, yet youâre still thinking about him?â
William wore a sinister expression. âThat guy is uncultured and likes to brag. Your parents donât even like him.
âMy family has assets worth tens of billions of dollars. Iâll be the successor of a company worth tens of billions of dollars after my fatherâs death.
âYour parents like me and want you to marry me.
âWhy donât you live the good life with me? Why are you still thinking about Clarence?
âDo you want to give your innocence to Clarence?
âTell me. Which part of me isnât as good as Clarence?â
Mirandaâs eyes were red. âClarence is ten thousand times better than you.
âHe cares for me and has my best interest at heart. Itâs my fault for misunderstanding him.
âYouâre just a monster! You canât have my heart, even if you get to have my body.â
âHahaha! Monster?â William went insane, slapping Miranda exasperatedly. He strangled her with both hands and shook her hard. âIâm a monster? Okay, then Iâll show you what a monster is really like!â
Miranda felt like she was suffocating. Stars flashed before her eyes, and the figure in front of her kept overlapping and shifting.
âMiranda!â Outside the room, Clarenceâs eyes turned red at the sight of this. He kicked the door open.
The hotelâs security-locked door failed to resist Clarenceâs kick.
Thump...
The door opened with that noise!
âWho is it?â William was surprised and looked behind him.
Miranda had almost suffocated. Her mouth was wide open, and she was gasping for breath. However, she managed to see a figure rush in before she passed out from the lack of oxygen in her brain.
âItâs Clarence.
âHow could he be here?
âIs this a dream?
âIt must be a dream! Thereâs no way heâs here.â
Tears trickled out of the corners of Mirandaâs eyes, and she went unconscious.
âItâs you!â William realized it was Clarence, and his expression changed. âWhat are you doing here?â
âYouâre just looking for trouble!â Clarence bellowed and lunged at William, punching him in the face.
Crack...
Seven or eight of Williamâs teeth flew, and blood gushed from his mouth. It was terrible.
âHow dare you hit me?â
Clarence sneered. âIâm not only going to beat you up, but Iâll also kill you.â
He kicked William just like how William had kicked Miranda earlier, but over ten times harder.
William flew back and slammed to the ground. He lay there in pain, whining, âClarence, kill me if you have the balls.
âIâll kill you if I survive this!â
William felt a severe pain in his chest. It was as if there was a fire burning in it, and he felt like Clarenceâs kick had broken his ribs.
âYou wanna die?
âIâll grant you that wish.â Clarenceâs voice was impassive.
He walked up to William, grabbed his neck, and held him up high, lifting his feet off the ground. William struggled.
William opened his mouth to beg for mercy but was horrified to find that he could not even get a single complete sentence out. âUh... Forgive⦠Forgive me....â
