She didn't notice that a black BMW sedan was gradually approaching. Allen, who was driving, saw her at first glance, and his brows immediately furrowed tightly!Carol sat on the ground, covering the wound on her leg, and closed her eyes in despair.The young man squatted down, pinched her chin, and looked at her disheveled hair yet stubbornly turned head. The desire to torture her grew stronger in his heart.His fingers ambiguously stroked Caroline's face as he ordered, "Take her to my car. Let me have my fun first."Seeing the woman's pitiful appearance, the surrounding men couldn't help but remark, "Such a top-notch beauty is rare. Don't forget about us brothers!"The young man laughed heartily and said, "You'll get your turn after I've had my fun! What's the hurry!"Caroline turned pale as she listened to their undisguised filthy remarks.Just as she saw the young man approaching to grab her, two streams of tears fell from her eyes, and a resolve to die arose in her heart.Just as

The next day, as soon as Mia got out of bed, she received a call from the old matriarch." Mia," the old woman said, "you must go to Reed Building Materials Group today. Try to talk to their boss and see if he can extend us a credit of $10 million worth of building materials. We’ll repay it once we get paid by Delaney Group."Mia hurried to say, "Grandma, Reed Building Materials Group is a huge business with significant bargaining power. They’ve always had a strict no-credit policy."The old matriarch sighed, "We have no choice. The Mill family’s cash flow is strained right now—we can’t afford to front so much capital anymore. Loans are also hard to come by, so we can only try our luck with Reed."She added, "Mia, the family is facing both internal and external crises. Your cousin has failed to live up to expectations, so you’re our only hope now. Find a way to negotiate with Padgett Reed, the boss of Reed Building Materials. If he agrees, we’ll have a chance!"After a moment’s hesita

At that moment, at Reed Building Materials Group.Seeing that Mia was too weak to struggle, Padgett let out excited chuckles and immediately reached out to tear off her clothes!Just then, the door was kicked open with great force by several people!An extremely ugly but menacing woman rushed in with several men who looked like bodyguards!When she saw Padgett trying to undress Mia, the woman flew into a rage and cursed, "Padgett! How dare you cheat on me!"Padgett was terrified! How did this shrew find him here?What Padgett didn’t know was that almost everyone around him had been bribed by his wife. She knew exactly where he went and who visited him every day.When she learned that Mia had come to see Padgett, she immediately grew suspicious.Mia was a renowned beauty in Pras City, and his wife, being extremely insecure about her own appearance, hated beautiful women more than anything.Upon hearing Mia’s arrival, she stormed over at once.Sure enough! The moment she entered, she fo

Alan nodded and said, "When I arrived, your clothes were still intact.It was Padgett's wife who arrived first and stopped him from violating you."Tears streamed down Mia's face. "Alan, I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen..."Alan quickly reassured her, "Silly girl, what are you talking about? I don't blame you at all!It's all my fault for not protecting you properly, allowing such a scoundrel to take advantage of the situation and almost hurt you."Deeply moved, Mia gently hugged Alan without saying a word.In this moment, she realized the profound depth of Alan's feelings for her, which filled her heart with immense happiness.By the end of the afternoon, Reed Building Materials Group was reduced to rubble. The entire upper society of Pras City was thrown into an uproar.Although the news claimed it was an accident, none of these shrewd social elites believed the official story.They immediately began speculating about which powerful figure was behind this.After all, hard

"You have no right to be in such a high-end venue! Let me see your invitation!"Alan was also furious. Even though he had been step by step, he couldn't allow the other party to provoke him repeatedly. He said coldly, "Check my invitation? You're not worthy! Get out of the way!"Carlson frowned, a surge of anger rushing to his head. In his eyes, Alan had always been a timid and spineless loser—how dare he tell him to get lost!Carlson grabbed at Alan's arm and sneered, "You're not leaving today until you explain yourself."Carlson moved quickly, but Alan easily dodged. Then, he (backhand) clamped Carlson's wrist, gave it a light flick, and coldly laughed, "What? Is your hand injury healed? Forgot the pain as soon as the scar healed?"Carlson suddenly felt a tremendous force surge through him, involuntarily staggering back two steps, both angry and startled. This kid had quite a grip! He knew he wasn't a match for Alan.Carlson cursed coldly, "Damn it, you good-for-nothing, just wait h
