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, she struggled until her strength was nearly depleted, being dragged into the room by Jason and thrown onto the bed.
On the other side...
Seated, Lorneaux lifted a glass of red wine, shaking it absentmindedly, appearing somewhat preoccupied.
After taking a sip of the wine, sitting for less than a minute, he suddenly got up and left.
"Lorneaux, where are you going?" Quentin wondered. He had just arrived, and now Lorneaux was leaving.
"The bathroom." Lorneaux didn't even glance back.
Quentin glanced inadvertently at the restroom in the private lounge, then at Lorneaux's departing figure, growing more puzzled but refraining from further inquiry.
After leaving the private lounge, Lorneauxs immediately called someone to inquire about the room number Jason had booked. Before the elevator arrived, he received a reply.
Lorneauxs went up to the top floor and stood in front of the room. He didn't rush to go in. Those perpetually cold black eyes seemed to betray a hint of hesitation.
He had no reason to get involved with this girl.
But even though the door was soundproof, he could imagine what was happening inside.
Thinking of the quiet and pure girl on the other side of the door, pressed on Jason's bed...
As this thought crossed his mind, Lorneauxs' brow slightly furrowed, and his pitch-black eyes chilled sharply.
The next moment, his long legs suddenly lifted, kicking with force.
With a thunderous noise, the seemingly sturdy door was kicked open by him.
The tremendous unfriendly sound frightened Jason. He quickly climbed down from Claire and turned around to prepare for a heated exchange. But when he saw Lorneauxs entering with a stern face, he was scared to the point of trembling, his legs nearly giving way.
Lorneauxs exuded an extremely cold and intimidating aura. He strode into the room like a storm, his icy gaze sweeping across the entire space, completely ignoring Jason standing by the bed.
Claire lay on the bed. Her little skirt was nowhere to be seen, and her seaweed-like long hair scattered on the deep blue sheets. The stark contrast between the black hair and fair skin lightly tapped against his robust heart.
The potency of these drugs was overwhelming. Claire's body was now flushed, powerless. Her gaze had become blurry, unable to see clearly. But her delicate arms still clung tightly to her chest.
The petite girl lay weakly on the spacious bed.
Unconsciously, Lorneauxs recalled the first meeting earlier in the day when she obediently called him brother, bringing a hint of surprise.
Now, looking at Claire, unconscious and at the mercy of others, wearing only underwear on the bed... Lorneauxs' cold eyes inexplicably ignited with anger.
"Lorneauxs..." The moment he walked in, Jason knew he was in trouble. Seeing Lorneauxs' icy gaze finally turn towards him, he hurriedly began to explain. But before he could speak, Lorneauxs' fist swung out forcefully, landing a punch on his side.
Judging from Lorneauxs' killing intent and the ruthless precision of his punches, he was evidently an experienced and skilled boxer.
In the current situation, even ten Jasons would not be enough to challenge him.
Amid Jason's helpless screams, each of Lorneauxs' punches and kicks carried boundless anger.
If he was still contemplating whether to save Claire or kick down the door, witnessing Claire almost stripped naked unleashed his murderous intent. He was more inclined to castrate Jason.
In the room, Jason's pitiful screams were incessant. The excessively painful cries were chilling, frightening Claire into some degree of sobriety.
Lorneauxs swiftly engaged in the fight for just a minute...
Jason, who attempted to violate Claire, was then thrown to the ground, his face covered in blood.
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
"Claire was completely absorbed in the pregnancy test result, almost unaware of how close she was to Lennox. Seeing only one red line on the test, Claire let out a sigh of relief—just one line meant she wasn't pregnant. Thank goodness, she wasn't pregnant.Lennox, too, breathed a sigh of relief at the result. But before he could fully exhale, he noticed Claire furrowing her brow, looking oddly pleased. His expression darkened."Weren't you on birth control that night? Why are you testing now—did you sleep with another man after that night? Is jumping into bed with men your favorite pastime?"Lennox shook off Claire's hand gripping his wrist, tossing the pregnancy test aside where only one red line was visible. The mere thought of Claire possibly being with another man sent his eyes dangerously black, teetering on the edge of a storm.Claire stumbled backward as Lennox pushed her away, almost falling. She quickly regained her footing, but Lennox's humiliating words shook her to the cor
"I come at a cost," Lennox said coldly, using his long, icy fingers to lift Claire's chin. The smoothness of her skin under his fingertips added a deeper intensity to his gaze.Before Claire could comprehend, her mother's voice sounded again, this time much closer. "Claire, are you in there?"Upon hearing Margaret's voice outside the bathroom, Claire had no time to contemplate the meaning of Lennox's mentioned "cost." She quickly nodded in agreement, then released him and hurriedly walked out. "Mom, I'm here!"After striking some kind of deal with Lennox to secure his silence, Claire let him go and briskly went out to intercept her mother.Regardless, overcoming the immediate crisis was the most crucial thing at the moment."Why were you so quiet in the bathroom? I thought you had gone out again," Margaret reproached gently, but as she looked at Claire emerging from the bathroom, she smiled tenderly."I was just washing my face," Claire grinned and casually explained, reaching out to
"Claire, impatient, bit down and pierced her tongue, the bloody metallic taste filling the corners of her mouth.Lorneaux's movement froze, his icy gaze slightly widening. In the intimate fusion of breath, with the proximity so close, Claire distinctly saw a sudden flash of danger in his pitch-black eyes, like the dangerous gaze of a hellish demon. Startled by the impending danger, she involuntarily loosened her grip, abruptly closing her mouth.""She only wanted him to stop kissing her, not to bite off his tongue. He wouldn't hold a grudge, would he?"Claire, it seems you've forgotten our agreement," Lorneaux's charming gaze turned icy, the crimson blood staining his lips, giving him a slightly crazed appearance. "I've mentioned before, seeking my help comes with a price."Before Claire could react, Lorneauxs kissed her again, more forcefully than before, ruthlessly seizing her sweetness, wild and brutal, devoid of any tenderness.Last time, she forgot the words spoken in their intim
