Victor's eyes were ice-cold, showing not the slightest trace of pity as Evan howled in pain. His foot, hard as
forged steel, lashed out again at Evan's weakest spot without mercy.
Evan cried out like a dying animal.
Even Rob and the others winced at the sight, their own stomachs twisting with phantom pain. Yet none of them
dared to beg for him. They didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
“Give them something to remember,” Victor ordered, his voice like a blade.
His gaze swept over Rob and the others, ignoring the fear and silent pleading in their eyes. hour later, send them
to the police station.”
An hour.
That meant his guards were to beat them for a full hour before handing them over.
Rob nearly wet himself. He wanted to beg for mercy, but the words died in his throat when Victor turned,
scooping Adeline into his arms, and left.
Victor knew Lily was frantic by now. If he kept her waiting too long, James would probably beat him to a pulp.
Carrying Adeline down the stairs, he pulled out his phone with his free hand to call Lily, reassuring her that
Adeline was safe. Lily pleaded with him to take her home.
“An
It was a small request, and Victor couldn't refuse his sister-in-law. Besides, Adeline reeked of alcohol, clearly
forced into drinking. There was no way he’d let her go back alone like this.
“Adeline, where do you
live?”

know which one they currently occupied. After settling her carefully into the back seat, he asked.
She didn’t answer. Instead, the moment their bodies parted, she suddenly clutched him tight.
All the

down the stairs, she had stayed quiet in his arms, curled up obediently. He hadn't expected her to grab hold of
him so suddenly, dragging him down into the back seat with her.
The softness beneath him made him freeze. Only then did he realize just how intimate-and inappropriate their
position was.

He sat up quickly, putting space between them. He wanted to warn her not to hold onto men so casually.
But before he could speak, she pulled him into another desperate embrace.
Adeline, let go.
Her faint scent of alcohol mingled with a natural sweetness, like fruit ripening in the sun, clinging to him in a way
that was dangerously intoxicating.
Victor faltered for a moment, still meaning to push her away and scold her. But then her tear- filled eyes lifted to
his, shimmering with hurt.
He hated touching women. He knew she was drunk, her mind clouded, and he would never take advantage. Yet
something about those red-rimmed, wounded eyes tugged painfully at his chest. He couldn't bring himself to
shove her off.
Adeline said nothing, only let her tears fall as she stared at him.
The alcohol muddled her mind, blurring the face before her. All she knew was the crushing weight in her heart.
Her own mother, Hailey, had sold her out to Rob and Evan without hesitation, just to protect her son.
She had truly considered Tracy a friend, had even supported her schooling when Tracy couldn't afford it. She had
believed in her because they both cfrom poor mountain villages.
Adeline never liked to dwell on the past, but now she knew she would sever ties with both Hailey and Tracy
forever. Still, thinking of their betrayal twisted her heart in pain.
“Adeline...”
Victor hadn't expected her to suddenly break down.
Her tears fell like pearls into his palm, each one cutting into him like a knife. The man who was always composed
and steady found himself at a loss, fumbling.
“Don’t cry, you...”
Victor, buried in research most of his life, had little experience with women. Comforting one was completely
foreign to him. Yet her tears unsettled him so much he struggled to piece together words that might soothe her.
