All Chapters of Gold-Digger Pain Link: Sugar Daddy Feels It All: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The second before Greta Ormond's high heel came down, I hurriedly balled my hands into fists. The sharp heel grazed the back of my hand, plunging right into the shards of glass. A jagged shard shot upward, slicing a deep gash across my palm. Blood instantly gushed out. "Ms. Sullivan!" The housekeeper, Maya Brooks, blanched and hurried over to check my hand. Ms. Ormond raised her leg to block her. "What's the fuss? It's just a scratch, not a fatal blow."I cradled my bleeding hand, spots of black dancing before my eyes from the pain. Before Caspian Blackwood went abroad, he had repeatedly warned them that no harm must come to me. He had even padded all the sharp corners of the tables in the villa. Yet, merely three days after he left, Ms. Ormond had given me such a grand welcoming gift. I took a deep breath and patiently explained, "I don't love Caspian, nor do I plan to marry him, Ms. Ormond. He gives me 1.5 million dollars a month, and my only job is to live comfortably her

Ms. Ormond had her men drag me to her family's private club. A charity gala was supposedly being held there that night. Half of the capital's socialites and scions were in attendance. The moment I was dumped into the banquet hall, drenched in blood, all the camera lenses in the room swiveled toward me. Ms. Ormond, on the other hand, had changed into a haute couture gown. Holding a flute of champagne, she smiled gracefully. "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to someone. This is Lucia Sullivan, the woman Caspian houses in his villa. While surviving off the Blackwoods' wealth, she's been stealing confidential information from Blackwood Group and fooling around with other men!" The crowd instantly erupted. "So, that's her.""She was so poor she couldn't even afford to eat. Does she really think becoming Caspian's mistress would make her a princess?" "Ms. Ormond's the daughter-in-law the Blackwood family has chosen. Who does she think she is?" The ones who ran the

Caspian's grip on the club was so tight the veins on the back of his hand bulged. His face was ghastly pale. His suit was rumpled, and there was still a trace of blood at the corner of his lips. Ms. Ormond was taken aback for a couple of seconds before lifting her foot off my wrist. "I can explain, Caspian. This woman stole confidential information from your company and was seeing another man behind your back. I was only trying to help you!" Caspian paid her no mind. He tossed the golf club aside and bent down to scoop me up into his arms. His arms visibly trembled when he felt how cold my body was. "Look at me, Lucia. Can you still talk?" I leaned against his chest and gave it a serious thought. "My 225 million dollars is still safe. I didn't sign the agreement."His eyes reddened. "You almost lost your life, and you're still worried about your money?" "That's not just money. That's my life!" He gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to reprimand me. Yet, he ultimately forced

Mr. Ormond ultimately didn't sign it. When he left the hospital room with Ms. Ormond, his back straightened up again. He had likely come to a realization. Ormond Pharmaceutical had been in business for decades. Caspian couldn't devour it with a single sentence. Plus, Caspian was still bedridden. Since he couldn't attend the board meeting, the other stakeholders in Blackwood Group were bound to get restless. …That afternoon, several Blackwood Group shareholders jointly requested an emergency meeting. The reason was that Caspian was in poor health and that his judgment had been clouded by a gold digger. At the same time, the internet was flooded with videos of me admitting that I was after Caspian's money. The parts where Ms. Ormond had people force alcohol down my throat, soak me in ice water, and beat me up had been completely edited out. The number-one trending topic blared a sensational headline. "Richest Man in the Country Brainwashed by Gold Digger. Multi-Billion Empi

Ms. Ormond was pinned to the ground by the cops. Still, she thrashed wildly. "Unhand me! I'm the heiress of the Ormond family. Lucia's the fraud; she's the one you should be arresting."Mr. Ormond rushed over to intervene, but Caspian's bodyguards blocked him. "Greta was just acting on impulse, Mr. Blackwood. She only did such foolish things because she loves you!"Caspian lowered his head to check my hands. After confirming that I hadn't sustained any new injuries, he lifted his cold gaze. "She loves me? When she hurt Lucia, did she ever stop to think about whether I would live or die?" Mr. Ormond was rendered speechless. The cops announced on the spot that Ms. Ormond was under arrest for unlawful confinement, intentional assault, evidence tampering, and corporate crime. Bella and the others who had laid their hands on me the night before didn't get away either. Several of their families issued public apologies overnight. Some offered to compensate me, while others begged me t
