I Lost Everything and Became My Husband's Thrall의 모든 챕터: 챕터 61 - 챕터 70

Chapter 62Just as I was about to argue back, Louise suddenly spoke up, "Enough, everyone. If Miss Tate has earned Mr. Jacob’s favor, that’s her ability. You don’t need to keep talking about her.""Ah, we’re just upset for Mr. Hertz. We all know how this woman used to bully Mr. Hertz. It’s not like we don’t know," someone else chimed in."Exactly. How dare she still show up in our circle?" another person added.Dani was furious. "What do you mean, 'still show up in your circle'? You sound as if your circle is so noble!""Go away... you’re just someone abandoned by the Young family. You have no right to speak here! Get lost!" Someone sneered.Dani was absolutely livid.I squeezed her hand gently and turned to the crowd, speaking in a calm voice, "Since we’re not welcome here, we won’t bother you any longer. Goodbye."With that, I tried to pull Dani away.I really didn’t want to stay here.Jacob tried to stop me, but just as I was about to leave, Joseph, who had been silent unt

Chapter 64I instantly regretted my choice the moment Jacob grinned even more mischievously.He leaned back and, with exaggerated slowness, said, “Please, pick someone from the opposite sex here and kiss them… for a whole minute.”The room erupted in shocked gasps.Dani was furious. “Jacob, are you doing this on purpose to make things difficult for Anna?”Jacob shrugged innocently. “The bottle pointed at her, what could I do? If it had pointed at you, I would’ve made the same suggestion. What do you mean, making things difficult?”“You…” Dani fumed, but no one paid her any attention.Everyone was now watching me intently, waiting for me to choose someone to kiss.The more outrageous the punishment, the more entertained they seemed.I subtly glanced at Joseph.He was still lounging, lazily smoking, his expression indifferent, like an outsider to the whole situation.Maybe it didn’t matter who I kissed. He wouldn’t care.The thought made my heart twist with a strange pain.N

Chapter 66Joseph leisurely looked at me and Jacob.Jacob, unable to tolerate it any longer, cursed at him, "Lunatic!" Then he grumbled, "Alright, just open your eyes and watch carefully!"As he spoke, Jacob squeezed my shoulder, and then his face slowly moved closer.It was even closer than before, and I could almost feel his breath.I was already nervous inside.But Joseph was sitting beside us, watching without blinking, and a sense of pressure seemed to suddenly fill the air.It made my heart race even more.Jacob’s breath was getting closer.I couldn’t stand it any longer and was about to push him away.But unexpectedly, he suddenly pushed me away first and angrily shouted at Joseph, "Damn! You’re really sick. If you keep staring at me like this, how am I supposed to kiss a beautiful girl?"Joseph replied indifferently, "Use your mouth to kiss.""You’re crazy. If you don’t want us to kiss, just say it. What’s with your staring?"My heart trembled, and I looked at Jose

Chapter 68I couldn't control myself and froze in my steps, turning to face him. "Do... do you need something?"Joseph didn't speak, just continued to smoke, his brows furrowed with visible hostility.My heart skipped a beat.It seemed like he had a big argument with his sweetheart this time.But I also felt a bit wronged. Why did he have to come here and take his anger out on me just because he fought with her?Yes, I owed him money, but that didn’t mean I had to be his punching bag.Though that was what I thought in my heart, I didn’t dare to say it out loud.After all, he wasn’t the same Joseph I used to know.I stood obediently, waiting for him to speak, or rather, waiting for him to vent his anger.I didn’t know how much time had passed before he finally finished his cigarette.He stubbed it out in the ashtray and slowly turned his gaze toward me.The Joseph now exuded such a strong aura that I didn’t even dare to meet his eyes.In no time, Joseph was standing right i

Chapter 70But strangely, at that moment, I didn’t feel scared of him at all.What filled my mind was pure resentment, a kind of anger I couldn’t even explain.I resented him for bullying me like this.But I hated myself more. It was one thing to have looked down on him in the past, but why did I have to fall for him under these circumstances?The pain in my heart was unbearable.Tears welled up in my eyes, and I felt the sting in my nose. My vision blurred with unshed tears.I took a deep breath, trying desperately to hold back the tears.Joseph suddenly stared at me, his gaze intense and unwavering. He looked at me for a long time before letting out a soft sigh.Then, he leaned down and kissed my lips, his voice tinged with a helplessness I couldn’t fully grasp. "I never realized before, but you’re really stubborn."I turned my head away, and the tears I had held back suddenly burst forth, falling freely like a string of broken beads.It was strange how emotions worked.H
