Adeline told herself she couldn’t give up. She had to hold out until the police arrived.

She was already a rare beauty, but with the alcohol in her system, the cool elegance of her face softened into a flushed, delicate charm that only made her more alluring.

Mr. Evan’s desire surged.

Seeing she still refused to obey, showing no intention of climbing onto hisp, he simply yanked her onto him by force.

“Come, Adeline. I’ll help you take these clothes off. Let’s snap a few photos first!”

His trembling hands, shaking with excitement, wed toward her cor.

Though the drunken haze blurred her vision and weighed down her eyelids, the word “photos” jolted her awake. She shuddered violently and gathered every ounce of strength to shove him away.

“Adeline, I advise you to behave.”

Her desperate resistance darkened his triangr eyes with a sinister chill that made her scalp prickle.

He pinched her cheek mockingly. “Bad girls pay a price.”

Ignoring her struggle, he ripped open her neckline.

Though nothing indecent was exposed, the glow of her corbones alone made his breathing turn ragged.

With a leering grin, he shoved her down into the sofa, ready to tear the rest of her top away and indulge himself.

The door mmed open.

The sudden crash froze the room.

Furious at the interruption, Mr. Evan didn’t even look back before roaring, teeth clenched, “Get the hell out!”

But something was wrong.

Normally, his friends hated being disturbed in such moments, cager to band together and teach the intruder a brutal lesson. Yet after his shout, the room fell into ceric silence.

Even the sound of Mr. Rob’s breathing at his side seemed unnervingly loud.

Police? iCould /iit bei? /i

But his friends weren’t the type to fear thew.

He wanted to finish ripping Adeline’s clothes, but an inexplicable dread gnawed at him. Against his will, his gaze shifted toward the doorway.

Before he could make out the intruder’s face, a sharp pain exploded across his cheek as a man rushed forward and smashed a fist into him.

“Looking for death?”

Mr. Evan had never suffered such humiliation. His lips trembled with rage as he balled his fists, ready to strike back.

But before he could throw a punch, the man seized his cor and mmed him hard to the floor.

“You blind bastards! Don’t you see someoneying hands on your boss? Tear him apart—”

He didn’t finish. His eyes locked on the man’s face.

Victor.

That wless face, like polished jade, refined and unearthly. A gentleman unmatched in the world.

But the icy rage radiating from him was terrifying, and when Evan realized this was the second son of the wealthiest Luke family, a violent shiver wracked him.

What connection did Adeline have with Victor?

Victor had burst in just in time to see Evan tearing at her clothes.

He didn’t know why it enraged him so deeply. He and Adeline had only crossed paths twice, mere strangers. But the sight of Evan’s filthy hands on her made him burn with a murderous urge.

Cold fury radiated from him as he raised his foot and, like a reaper delivering judgment, kicked Evan savagely in his most vulnerable spot.

“Ahhhhhh!”

Evan’s scream tore through the air, shrill as a ughtered pig.

If Victor hade alone, Evan’s men might have dared to strike back. They outnumbered him, after all. They could kill him quietly and leave no trace.

But a dozen guards stormed in behind Victor.

And in the capital, everyone knew the reputation of the Luke family’s bodyguards. Evan’s hired men were nothing but rabble inparison.

Pain and fear crushed him. He dared not utter another threat. Instead, he broke down, groveling.

“Mr. Victor, I was wrong. I didn’t recognize your friend. I had no idea. Please, I beg you, have mercy. Don’t lower yourself to deal with a piece of filth like me…

The friends who had egged him on shrank back, trembling like quails, not daring to speak a single word.
