"Shut up! Get out!"Chloe Bishop suddenly snapped, glaring at them.Everyone stared at her in stunned silence. Her expression at that moment was eerily similar to Xavier Grayson's—even her aura matched.When they didn't move, she grabbed a cup from the table and hurled it at their feet. "I said—get out!"Nanny was genuinely startled. He shot a quick glance at Xavier Grayson, then signaled the maids with his eyes. The three of them swiftly retreated.Within moments, only Chloe Bishop remained, straddling Xavier Grayson on the sofa.Her fury vanished as quickly as it had come. Like a docile puppy, she nuzzled against his chest and mumbled, "You have to be good, okay? Don't make me angry..."She found a comfortable position and closed her eyes again.Xavier Grayson sat rigidly beneath her, the smell of smoke and alcohol clinging to her. His face was so dark it looked like it might drip ink.A moment later, a basin of ice-cold water came crashing down over Chloe Bishop's head.With a shrie

Xavier Grayson neither understood nor cared about such things.But Nanny had many more concerns. Risking punishment, he had a maid bring dry clothes and change Chloe Bishop into them before leading her down to the dungeon.The heavy iron door groaned open. A wave of cold, musty air rushed out, carrying the scent of dampness and dust—years of accumulated neglect.Nanny frowned and signaled for Chloe Bishop to be taken inside.The servants dared not ask questions. They had no idea what Chloe Bishop had done wrong or why she was being locked in the dungeon—only that they pitied her.This was no ordinary basement. It was a deep underground dungeon.Rumor had it that this area used to be a mountain, and when developers excavated, they'd unearthed several sets of human bones. Sometimes, when servants went down to the cellar to fetch wine, they'd hear strange sounds echoing from below—so they'd only go in groups.This dark, damp dungeon sat beneath even the cellar. How terrifying it must be w

Chloe Bishop stared at the photos. Summoning what strength she had left, she dragged her stiff, aching body across the floor, step by step, moving like a frail, elderly woman.The photos were the same ones Noah had sent to Xavier Grayson. Each one captured moments that looked so intimate—like two young people flirting, teasing, caught in the middle of a sweet, suggestive exchange.And when she got to the later ones, she saw Liam Martin had been drawn in too. No wonder Xavier Grayson was furious. But the truth was—she'd done nothing improper. The person who took these photos had deliberately manipulated the angles to frame her.Her face went pale. She looked up at Nanny with pleading eyes. "Nanny, these photos were taken from misleading angles. That's not what really happened. I can explain—there's surveillance footage at the shooting range."Nanny said helplessly, "But the young lord is livid right now. He doesn't want to see you. No one dares even mention your name in front of him.""

The impact echoed again and again through the dungeon, ringing in her ears. She froze, listening to the sound reverberate endlessly—and faintly, she heard someone calling her name. Her face went white. "Let me out... let me out..."Upstairs in the Grayson Residence, Nanny glanced uneasily at the time, pacing restlessly in the living room.That morning, he'd relayed Chloe Bishop's words to Xavier Grayson. The young lord had said nothing—just carried on with his usual routine, eating breakfast and heading to the office.He'd been gone all day, not a single call back.During the day, Adrian Grayson had asked where she was. Nanny had had to lie and say she'd gone to the Bishop Villa. The little boy was disappointed and wanted to call her—only to find her phone still in the house.He'd tugged on Nanny's sleeve, wanting to deliver the phone to her himself. Secretly, he'd also wanted to visit the Bishop Villa and see that toothless little baby.It had taken quite some effort for Nanny to talk

Chloe Bishop didn't say a single word—she just kept crying.No one knew how long she wept before she finally stopped. Then she sat motionless on the sofa, staring blankly into space. Madam Bishop's heart was breaking."Chloe, what's wrong? Talk to me. Whatever it is, I'll stand up for you. Did Xavier Grayson hit you?"Seeing her usually bright daughter reduced to this state, Madam Bishop's eyes reddened, tears spilling down her cheeks.But there were no visible bruises on Chloe Bishop's body. There was a small scrape on her forehead, but it didn't look like it came from a blow—more like she'd banged it against something.It wasn't until Madam Bishop rolled up her daughter's pant legs that she saw the large purple bruise on her knee. But even that didn't look like it came from a beating—it too looked like she'd fallen or knocked it against something.Madam Bishop didn't care about the details. Her tears fell harder. Right there in front of her daughter, she called Xavier Grayson.He did
