CHAPTER 672: CHAPTER 672: RATHER NOT HAVE IT

In the blink of an eye, the three of them arrived at the dinner party.

Compared to Joy Quinn, who was trying to present herself as composed and graceful, Willow Young was more effortless and adept in socializing.

Indeed, she quickly immersed herself in the topics among the association directors, and even amused Howard Lynch, who exclaimed, "Joy, your friend is a real treasure!"

Joy Quinn forced a smile.

Willow Young openly invited everyone to go for karaoke.

While transitioning to the karaoke lounge, Willow Young ordered several bottles of expensive red wine.

Perhaps because of the previous half-encouraged encounter with Franklin Yates, Willow subconsciously felt that such an occasion couldn’t start without some drinks to enliven it.

So during that process, Willow Young took the opportunity while toasting with Howard to frankly express her admiration for him.

"Cousin, when I first saw you, it felt like seeing a prince from a fairy tale coming towards me. So, this glass of wine is for the prince in my heart."

As soon as she said this, the other directors joined in the clamoring.

"Wow, our Chairman Lynch is quite fortunate."

"Never thought this dinner would even let us witness a rumored love at first sight."

Amid the heckling from others, Joy Quinn’s expression was extremely cold.

What on earth is this damn Willow doing back at school?

Could it be that she and Franklin Yates broke up?

Yet Franklin Yates is so wealthy, considering Willow’s greedy nature, it seems unlikely she would leave so soon.

Could it be that something went wrong on Franklin Yates’ side?

No matter whether Willow and Franklin truly broke up, Joy Quinn refused to allow such a filthy woman to set her sights on her cousin.

Thus, in the following karaoke room, Joy Quinn was constantly wary of Willow Young getting too close to Howard Lynch.

Against all precautions, she never expected that when she came out of the restroom, both were nowhere to be found in the karaoke room.

Joy Quinn searched the entire room but still didn’t see them. She quickly asked one of the directors, "Where are my cousin and Willow?"

"Willow got drunk, and your cousin took her home."

Upon hearing this answer, Joy Quinn felt as if lightning suddenly struck in her mind.

Willow must be planning to take advantage of tonight for something to happen with her cousin.

She quickly chased after them.

But when she got to the parking lot, Howard Lynch’s car had already driven away.

She hurriedly dialed Howard Lynch’s number, but his phone was off because the battery had drained...

On the other side—

On the way to take Willow Young back to school, Willow "drowsily" informed, "After ten, our school won’t let people in."

"Then what should I do? Should I take you to a nearby hotel?"

Willow drowsily nodded.

Thus, Howard Lynch took Willow to a hotel and booked her a room.

As Howard helped her into the room, Willow pondered on how to make Howard interested in her.

Unexpectedly, after throwing her onto the bed, Howard started to strip her.

Then, everything Willow hoped for occurred.

However, what happened was much more terrifying than expected.

When dawn arrived the next day, Willow was covered in bruises.

Seeing Howard approach, she trembled all over, tears streaming down.

"Don’t come near! Don’t come near..."

She kept retreating, trying to escape this demon.

But the escape failed, and soon Howard dragged her back under him: "Isn’t this what you wanted? I’m giving it to you now, why are you crying?"

"I don’t want it anymore. Please don’t touch me..."

Willow cried almost hysterically.

Indeed, Howard appeared cultured on the surface but was like a demon in reality.

The whole night, he was rough with her.

If marrying into wealth means enduring such beatings, she would rather not.

However, Howard didn’t give her a chance to refuse, and a new round of torment began anew.
