All Chapters of Defy Me If You Can: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

But seeing her suddenly fall silent and pretend she had nothing more to say, Victor looked distinctly displeased. One of his brows slowly rose while his face settled into an openly judgmental expression, as though he were the one most offended by her little act. His fingers began tapping lightly against the wooden table in a slow, rhythmic tick... tock... tick... tock..., each quiet tap making the growing silence inside the office feel increasingly uncomfortable."If you have nothing else to do," Victor finally said, "then leave."For a brief moment, the words visibly struck Vanessa. Jane caught the subtle flicker immediately. The confidence that had been sitting comfortably upon the woman's face faltered ever so slightly before she quietly composed herself again. She lowered her eyes toward the floor, took a small breath, then briefly glanced toward Jane before finally returning her attention to Victor."I wanted to," Vanessa replied evenly, "but... haven't you heard it from your fat

The haughty Oliver scoffed openly at Victor's words while the rest of the room fell into a suffocating silence. Even the servants standing by the walls lowered their heads, too afraid to breathe too loudly after hearing the tone Victor had used.Only Oliver, however, seemed delighted by it.He stepped forward lazily, one hand tucked into his pocket while the other brushed dust from his sleeve as though Victor's warning had been beneath him. Then, as if he had suddenly remembered the funniest joke in the world, he let out a sharp laugh that cracked through the silence."Who am I?" Oliver repeated mockingly. "I'm certainly not some defective creature like you."A few faces in the crowd paled immediately."But perhaps no one told you yet," Oliver continued with a grin, pacing slowly around the table like a wolf circling prey. "This house does not belong to you. And even if it is, do you think you are someone with such a high position that you could force anyone into your bidding?" He cli

Hades and Morningstar immediately burst into a fight. The moment their fists collided, the cave exploded into chaos. A deafening boom echoed throughout the mountain as the force behind their clash shattered the walls around them. Great cracks raced across the stone ceiling like lightning before enormous chunks of rock broke loose and crashed to the ground. Dust erupted into the air, swallowing everything in a thick gray haze while the earth beneath their feet shook violently, as though the mountain itself had begun to collapse under the weight of their strength. Every exchange between them sent another violent shockwave through the cave, pulverizing pillars that had stood for centuries and reducing them to nothing more than rubble. The walls caved inward one after another, enormous boulders crashing down with enough force to leave craters in the ground, while the lake nearby surged into towering waves that slammed against the cavern's edges. It no longer looked like two people were fi

Who would have guessed that she would be sitting with her own boss’s father? Jane had heard plenty of things about how the man in front of her was crueler than he appeared. Many servants whispered of his cold-hearted nature whenever his name surfaced, lowering their voices as though he might somehow hear them from afar. Added to that was the story she had once listened to regarding him and his late wife, of how deeply and obsessively he had loved her until it bordered on madness. Ever since hearing it, she couldn’t help but feel as if she were standing before someone whose most private secret she had accidentally overheard.The weight of that realization made the room feel far smaller than it actually was.Feeling awkward, Jane stood while her hands wound behind her back, fidgeting every couple of seconds. Her fingers twisted together before separating again, only to repeat the same anxious motion. She was holding herself back from speaking as there hadn’t been a single word from the

Inside his office, the Duke’s gaze remained fixed on the corner of the closed door long after Jane had left. His expression was as composed as ever, yet his thoughts lingered elsewhere, refusing to return to the countless matters waiting upon his desk. For the briefest moment, he found himself at a loss, his mind circling around something he could neither fully understand nor neatly categorize. It was an unfamiliar feeling, one that irritated him more than he cared to admit.The silence stretched until Stanley entered the room. The butler paused upon noticing the unusual sight before him. Even with the mountain of documents spread across the Duke’s desk, not a single page had been touched since Jane’s departure. Normally, even if the heavens themselves were about to split apart, the Duke would continue working without sparing a glance at the chaos around him. Seeing him sitting in complete silence, lost in thought, was unsettling enough that Stanley instinctively became more cautious
