Julian tightened his grip, nearly crushing her shoulder, and forcibly held her in his arms, carrying her downstairs. Jerry rushed up, panting, "Mr. Frost..."

He seemed to have something to say, but was frightened into silence by Vanessa's state.

"Miss Brooks, what… these people are animals!"

No time for nonsense.

Julian bypassed him and said loudly, "Hurry up and drive!"

"Coming."

The car sped off, rushing to the hospital at top speed. Vanessa lay on her side in the back seat, leaning against J

  • Mr. Frost’s Reluctant Prisoner Bride   Chapter 72

    She'd scraped together a small sum, but it was still far too little.Dominic wanted a lot, and Vanessa couldn't come up with that much. Holding an umbrella in one hand, she passed the envelope full of money to Dominic with the other. "This is all I have for now, you...""What is this, charity for a beggar?"Dominic grabbed Vanessa's collar, shoved her back, and sent her tumbling into the snow. "I told you, no matter what you have to do, you need to get me the rest of the money."The wind and snow swirled around her, scattering the bills across the ground.Vanessa lay in the snow, picking them up one by one, wiping them clean, tears falling and melting into the snow. The wind howled in her ears, and her memories flashed back to the past – being exploited by her father, being taken to do odd jobs, being beaten for disobedience, hiding in corners to cry.Dominic used to give her warm milk and comfort her.Back then, she still thought of herself as the Voss family's young lady, ordering D

    Red banknotes scattered across the floor.Vanessa didn't feel insulted. She bent down and picked up the money. "Now that you know what I've done, don't come anymore. Aren't you disgusted? If you want it, I think there are plenty of women eager to serve you.""You used to be one of them.""I wasn't." Vanessa smiled wanly. "I was the stupidest. I wanted to marry you."A ridiculous wish.But it made Julian pause. His heart felt like it was being crushed, a tearing pain. Before he could say anything, there was a knock at the door.Vanessa opened it.Standing outside was an old man, refined and imposing, with a bodyguard behind him. He stood there, completely out of place in the impoverished surroundings. "Is Julian here?"Hearing his name.Julian straightened himself and went to the door, meeting the old master's scrutinizing gaze head-on.The scene was too absurd. Even he found it hard to explain.Before taking Julian away, the old master left Vanessa behind, intending to have a good tal

    Adrian’s face suddenly turned ashen. Julian didn’t bother to appreciate his guilt and got up, walking out without realizing he was heading towards Vanessa’s place.He stood in the snow for a long time.Alcohol washed away his reason. Julian went upstairs, hesitating as he raised his hand to knock, but finally let it fall.The moment the door opened, Vanessa frowned, unwilling to say a single word before shutting it. Julian didn't stop her, his voice quick, "What's your relationship with that ex-con?"Without even a moment’s pause.The door swung open again.Vanessa was both angry and anxious, filled with sorrow and hatred, and slapped Julian hard.The narrow, turbulent room was a mess.Many things had been knocked over. Vanessa had nowhere to retreat and was pinned against the loveseat. Julian’s shadow loomed over her like a dark cloud, able to restrain her with a single hand.Her chin was l

    Following Vanessa wasn't difficult.Jerry was becoming quite adept at it.He was dozing off in the car, when he squinted and saw her walking out with a man. They hailed a taxi at the roadside and got in together.Jerry quickly started his car and followed them to a restaurant, where he watched Vanessa attentively lead the man inside.Through the window, Vanessa handed the menu to the man across from her, with a rare smile.It was the kind of smile she used to reserve for Julian.Vanessa's eyes welled up with tears, her gaze meticulously tracing Dominic's face. She recalled that winter, when she was kicked out of the house by her father and nearly froze to death.She had called Julian a dozen times, but he never answered. It was Dominic who came to her, offering her a piece of warm clothing, defending her to her father. He took a beating for it, yet still tried his best to protect her."I'm sorry I haven't visited you these past

    The car door slammed shut.Julian finished his cigarette, turned the steering wheel, and drove back. He even bought some medicine for swelling and pain relief, which was probably the first time he'd taken the initiative to treat a woman like this, especially one who didn't appreciate it.The stairs were narrow and steep, the light was broken, and there were no windows, making it necessary to be careful even during the day.Julian's footsteps were light, but before he reached the top, a voice drifted down from above.It was Vanessa."I've been held up with some things these past few days, but I'll wire you the money in a few days," she said, her voice careful and almost pleading.Julian clenched the medicine in his hand, watching the figure on the stairs. Vanessa stood there, looking like she was about to cry. "I know I owe you, and I'll give you the money. I won't cheat you."He didn't go up.Julian went back downstairs and threw all the medicine into the trash can.His face was terri

    Rose averted her gaze, startled, and suddenly saw Julian, who had arrived unnoticed. He was expressionless, his eyes fixed on Vanessa's back.Julian's presence exuded a chilling pressure.As he approached, Rose involuntarily lowered her hand and weakly said, "Julian..."Julian didn't even glance at her.His gaze remained fixed on Vanessa as he addressed Rose, "Who told you to come here?""I couldn't find you, so wasn't my only option to come find her?""Ridiculous." Julian scoffed. "If you can't find me, what good is finding her? What relationship do I have with her?"These were words spoken in anger.Rose went over and affectionately took Julian's arm, shooting a resentful glare at Vanessa. "But I heard that on Aunt Evelyn's birthday, she seduced you and slept with you. Is that true?"Bringing up such things here was disrespectful to Vanessa.Rose didn't care about any of that. She wanted to humiliate Vanessa."Just tell me it was her, and I won't blame you. Our engagement will conti
