Quentin pushed open the doors of the emergency room and said to Lorneauxs, "I heard you brought in a young girl covered in blood.""Another late-night shift, huh, Doctor?" Quentin didn't wait for an invitation, striding purposefully towards the gurney.As Quentin briskly walked past, Lorneauxs didn't attempt to stop him. He knew it would be futile; Quentin would find out what he wanted to know one way or another."I was dragged out of bed to assist with this emergency," Quentin casually replied as he reached the bedside.Quentin bent over the gurney, carefully examining the pale, unconscious face of the girl. He could see delicate features and youthful skin still retaining a glow of youth. She seemed to be in her teens."Poor child. I wonder what happened to her," Quentin muttered under his breath.Judging by her delicate features and obviously underage appearance, she was exactly the type Lorneauxs favored.Quentin straightened up, mocking, "You know, she bears a striking resemblance
A magnificent mansion, elegantly adorned bedrooms, and a graceful Claire Davis gazing at her refined reflection in the mirror on the dressing table. Her features were delicate, and her eyes were as dark as black grapes, brimming with vitality.Claire silently observed her own reflection for a while before standing up. Dressed in a light blue sweetheart neckline gown, she descended the staircase slowly.Today was her mother's wedding, and she was the bridesmaid. As she turned the corner of the staircase platform, pacing back and forth, Claire collided with the groomsman—her new stepbrother and her stepfather's eldest son, Lysander."Hello, brother," she greeted softly. However, upon just one glance at Lysander's handsome face framed by the deep blue suit and his icy sharp gaze, Claire didn't dare linger on his indifferent expression.Lysander looked at Claire with indifference. Standing there so quietly and obediently, her young face made him feel that she was adorable. Her aura was so
When Jason saw that Lorneauxs had not been involved in the matter, he paused for a few seconds, then rallied himself."Get up." Jason forcefully pulled the bewildered Claire to her feet, confidently dragging her towards the elevator.Anyway, she was just a stepsister. Lorneaux's actions were entirely reasonable. If it were him, he wouldn't bother with a suddenly emerged sister either."No, don't..." Although Claire felt a bit dizzy, she hadn't completely lost her senses. She immediately struggled, "Don't touch me, let go of me."Regardless of the resistance and the strong struggling sounds behind him, Lorneaux seemed to hear nothing, striding forward resolutely without looking back.As they entered the private lounge, Lorneaux caught a glimpse of Claire being dragged into the elevator by Jason in the corridor, but his figure entering the room did not pause for a moment.After all, there was a gap in strength between men and women, not to mention Claire being drugged. Along the way, sh
The divine aura emanating from Lorneauxs was immensely powerful. Although Claire's consciousness was somewhat hazy, the ominous atmosphere around him prompted her to involuntarily withdraw a bit.Despite this, she felt extremely uncomfortable. The awareness of danger hadn't fully reached her brain, but her delicate body in need of soothing had already pressed against him. Restlessly squirming, she couldn't bear the heat, intensifying the friction."It's so hot, so hot," she whispered.Lorneauxs' body stiffened slightly, his arm supporting himself on the bed, veins bulging."Three seconds, if you don't back down, bear the consequences yourself," he declared, his tone carrying a stern warning.Staring at Claire's half-open and bewildered gaze, Lorneauxs' voice was low and seemed to carry some suppressed meaning.He is a man.A robust man.A man with all the traditional attributes of a man.No woman has ever dared to flirt with disaster, igniting sparks on him.Claire felt her entire bod
The black sedan pulled over to the side, and Lorneauxs rolled down the window, his icy face slightly furrowed. As the window cracked open, a shocking statement wafted from a street-side snack stall:"I slept with a man last night."The serious voice of Claire resonated clearly. Lorneauxs caught sight of her defiant words, his gaze freezing on the girl with long, disheveled black hair.The girl was wearing the black hoodie he had given her. Judging from her tone, it seemed she harbored resentment towards him."Pfft—" Emma had just taken a sip of beer, and the cold alcohol went down the wrong pipe. She coughed forcefully for a long time before catching her breath, her cute round face turning red. "Say that again?"Surely, she must have misheard.Claire hadn't even had her first boyfriend. It was impossible for her to sleep with some random guy.Emma sprayed beer onto the grilled meat, spitting and sputtering. Claire looked a bit disgusted, then drank even more beer under her partner's s
Claire couldn't comprehend Lennox's sudden actions. She had just had a barbecue dinner with her best friend Emma, and suddenly Lennox appeared and took her away. It was completely unreasonable!"Who is she?" Lennox asked coldly, completely ignoring Claire's anger.Claire pouted, forcing herself to meet Lennox's icy gaze. How could he disregard her rights and treat her like some kind of hostage?"You'll regret not telling me," Lennox leaned in towards Claire's upper body, emitting a dangerous aura.Claire felt a chill down her spine and instinctively stepped back from the car door. Lennox's overwhelming presence was too strong. Under his intimidating expression, Claire involuntarily said, "Emma, she's been my good friend since childhood."Lennox didn't stop approaching Claire. Even though she answered the question, he still trapped her between the car door and himself."Does Emma know you like Chrispin?" Lennox stared at Claire intently, his tone cold and mysterious, his intentions unc
"Ah!" Claire exclaimed, falling heavily onto the sofa, with Lorneauxs following closely and pinning her down. Instinctively, she tried to push him away, saying, "Lorneauxs, what are you doing..."Before she could finish her sentence, Lorneauxs forcefully covered her mouth.In this moment, Lorneauxs had a straightforward thought—he had already taken the first step, and since Claire had tempted him, he didn't mind indulging a bit when needed.Claire struggled even more to push Lorneauxs away, as the weight of his lips made her widen her eyes. Lorneauxs was kissing her, and all of this was happening while both of them were fully conscious!In shock, a thought flashed through Claire's mind: "Lorneauxs must be insane.""No, we can't!" Claire resisted, pushing Lorneauxs away decisively. She couldn't make any more mistakes.He was her stepbrother, her stepfather's son, and after the wedding, he was, to some extent, her brother. They couldn't let things escalate to this point.Lorneauxs's tal
Claire's struggle became more intense, while Lennox's kiss grew even more forceful, tightly enveloping her in his arms, forcefully restraining her.Lennox's kiss was not tender; it was more like an emotional outburst. He bit Claire's lips with a rough and wild intensity. The thought of her casually claiming not to need him to take responsibility ignited the anger within him like a volcanic eruption.This seemingly gentle girl dared to plan to discard him after using him! No woman had ever dared to ignore him in such a way, making decisions in place of him.The issue of responsibility was something he would decide entirely on his own.As he forcefully kissed her, Claire felt tears welling up, almost stinging her eyes. Her struggle became more desperate, and the pain deepened. Then, she became smarter, obediently leaning into Lennox, motionless, letting him forcefully take control.Observing Lennox's icy expression up close, Claire felt a chilling emptiness in her heart, both frightened
