Samuel set down his glass of wine. He thought, “Things are getting interesting.”
Nathan sat still and did not move. Smoke emanating from the cigarette between his fingers blurred his
handsome face. “Call the police if there’s danger. Why look for me?”
Mabel was stunned and did not understand what Nathan meant. Everybody knew that Rence was
Nathan’s woman.
“I wasn’t joking, Mr. Faraday. Go and check on Renee. Mr. Leighton, Janelle, and Caroline are inside.
They are bullying Rence. It’s terrible,” she explained.
Nathan narrowed his eyes and asked, “Who did you say are still inside?”
“Janelle and Caroline.”
Nathan flicked his cigarette into the ashtray and got up to leave.
Mabel heaved a sigh of relief. Apparently, Nathan still cared about Renee.
Renee was already outside, but Eliott hugged her from behind again and tore her neckline go, Renee.
Please be my girlfriend. I really like you!”
“No! Let go of me!” Renee cried.
Suddenly, a group of bodyguards clad in black suits hurried over to drag Eliott away. Renee looked up
and saw Nathan approaching her.
“Mr. Faraday!” Renee’s beautiful, petite face was covered in tears. Her hair was disheveled, and her
clothes were torn. She wrapped her arms around her body tightly and ran toward Nathan pitifully. “Help
me, Mr. Faraday!”
Nathan looked at Renee expressionlessly and asked, “What’s going on?”
Rence seemed to be frightened, and her shoulders were trembling. “I came here to hang out with
Mabel. Along the way, I met Mr. Leighton, who invited me to his private room. When I entered, Mr.
Leighton pounced on me, telling me that he liked me very much and that he wanted me to be his
girlfriend. I refused, and he… he…”
Janelle could not believe that her brother would do this sort of thing. She asked him, “Eliott, do you
really like Rence?”
At once, Mabel spoke. “A year ago, Mr. Leighton and Rence met each other abroad several times. As
such, Mr. Leighton fell in love with Renee. He must have realized that Renee is Mr. Faraday’s woman
now. Since Mr. Leighton couldn’t have Renee for himself, he decided to force himself on her.”
m so scared.”
of them away”
“Eliott!” Janelle cried.
Soon, the chaos died down. Nathan did not spot Caroline among the crowd, so he entered the private
room hastily.
However, nobody was inside the room.
Caroline was gone.
Nathan wondered, “Where did she go?”
Meanwhile, Janelle came over. “Carol! Where’s Carol?”
Nathan looked at her. “Don’t you know where she is?”
“It was too chaotic just now. Carol bumped her forehead against the wall and got injured…”
Before Janelle could finish speaking, Nathan turned around and left.
Nathan drove back to the Penningcoll Residence. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Yuna
descending the stairs. Apparently, his mother was here.
“Mom, why are you here?” he asked.
“Why do you think I’m here? If I don’t drop by, are you going to do whatever you want? What’s your
deal with Renee? You have a beautiful woman at home. Instead of living life properly, you decided to
have an affair!” Yuna scolded.
Nathan was at a loss for words.
“Yuna.” At the same time, a soft voice resounded from the staircase. Then, Caroline descended the
stairs.
Nathan looked at her. Yuna had treated the wound on the young woman’s forehead, and a white
bandage had been applied in its place. Caroline looked distant and frail, and her eyes were red-rimmed
and filled with tears.
Nathan wanted to walk toward Caroline.
However, Yuna blocked his way. “Where do you think you’re going? Get out! Don’t enter this house if
you don’t settle your other problems!”
