2026-10-10 06:00:49At noon, Andrew Allen received a phone call from Sophie Lane. For a moment, he assumed she was calling about the night before.
When he arrived at Ashridge School of Arts, however, he was greeted by a very different scene.
"You bastard! Give me back my innocence!" Sophie stood before him, fists clenched so tightly her knuckles had gone white, her eyes blazing with a fury that bordered on murderous. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make sense of what had happened, and th

Chapter 082
Andrew Allen knew one thing for certain: encountering a woman as stunning as Claire Bennett was a rare stroke of fortune in any man's life, and he intended to make the most of this opportunity. When Adrian Kane finally erupted in anger, his two subordinates exchanged helpless glances before slowly filing out of the hospital room. Andrew followed them out without a word.Inside, only Claire Bennett and Adrian Kane remained. Adrian's gaze crawled over Claire with unmistakable hunger. "Ms. Bennett, they've left us alone now. So tell me, what exactly did you want to discuss?" His voice dripped with anticipation.Adrian was certain this woman wouldn't have asked for privacy unless she wanted something from him. Perhaps she wanted something more intimate. The thought sent a thrill through him despite his injuries."Adrian, why are you being so stingy?" Claire fanned herself with one delicate hand, her voice carrying a note of complaint. "It's absolutely sweltering in

Adrian Kane slammed his fist against the armrest, his voice rising with barely contained rage. "Help me get revenge? It's all over, you said. It's been nearly a month now, and where's the news? There has been nothing, not a single word. I think you've been lying to me this whole time. There was never any plan to deal with this, was there?" His face flushed darker as he continued, the words tumbling out faster. "If this doesn't get resolved soon, how am I supposed to face my friends? They'll never let me live it down. They'll laugh at me behind my back, and I'll know it every time."Adrian had believed, truly believed, that his father would take care of Andrew Allen and his people. He'd waited in this suffocating room, day after day, expecting word of some decisive action. But the silence had stretched on, and with each passing hour, his frustration had curdled into something uglier. His father's promises felt hollow now, like empty words meant to placate a child.Someo

Andrew Allen knew something was off. This woman was usually cold as ice, yet today she was all smiles. His eyes narrowed as he watched Nora Hayes carefully. "Nora, you're not just here to talk about that, are you? Is there something you need from me?""Now that you mention it, there is something I'd like to discuss with you," Nora Hayes replied, her tone deliberately light."We're family now, no need to be formal. Whatever it is, just tell me," Andrew said, leaning back with an air of casual confidence.Nora Hayes hesitated for a moment, then reached into her bag and pulled out a thick stack of cash, setting it on the table in front of him. "I need you to pass this along to Tiger. I'll get him the rest as quickly as I can."Andrew froze, staring at the money. Even though Nora had been promoted to manager at the Bennett Group, her salary was modest. There was no way she should have this much cash on hand."Where did you get all this?" he asked, his

"That's not what I meant at all. You're so beautiful, how could I possibly reject you? You're overthinking this, really," Andrew Allen said quickly, his words tumbling over each other in explanation. Truth be told, while Tara Fleming might not be considered a breathtaking beauty in the conventional sense, her figure was undeniably stunning, curves that drew the eye and held it. She was absolutely gorgeous in her own right. There was something about the way she carried herself, a certain allure in her smile and the tilt of her head, that stirred something primal and unspoken in anyone who looked at her. Her personality had a fiery edge to it as well, bold and uncompromising. Half the men in the company had their eyes on her at one point or another.But Tara's heart had room for only one person, Andrew, and so no matter how persistent the others were, no matter what tactics they employed, she remained ice cold toward them. She turned them down without hesitation, and on more th

"Sounds like you really have a thing for Claire Bennett." Andrew Allen grinned as he spoke."Does it matter whether I do or not? I'm not like those other rich brats who use underhanded tactics to get the women they want. What I'm after is her heart, not just her body." Julian Mercer let out a long sigh, his voice tinged with melancholy."Well, I'd say you can let go of that idea," Andrew said matter-of-factly."You want me to let go? Why?" Julian stared at him, confusion written all over his face."Because Claire Bennett is my woman. So naturally, you'll need to drop that little fantasy of yours. Besides, her heart's been with me all along. Haven't you noticed?" Andrew's grin widened."I'll keep trying. As long as you two aren't married, I still have a chance." Julian's tone was resolute, his jaw set with determination.Andrew let out another long sigh, his expression shifting to something troubled, almost pained."What is it?"
Chapter 077
At that precise moment, Mara Whitlock lifted her foot high and brought it down hard, aiming directly at Julian Mercer's groin."Holy hell, you're actually going for it!" Julian leaped aside, sweat pouring down his forehead in rivulets. His heart hammered against his ribs. If he hadn't dodged just then, his future as a man would have ended right there on that spot."Look, just let me explain. I'm really not what you think. What actually happened was..." Julian's face crumpled into a pitiful expression, his words tumbling out in desperation.But Mara was far too furious to entertain any explanations. Her voice came out cold and clipped. "What's there to explain at this point? Don't waste your breath. Everything's crystal clear now. You're nothing but a complete and utter pervert, and I'm going to do society a favor by taking you down!"Her eyes blazed with righteous anger as she advanced on him again."Julian, just run already!
