Chapter 409
The guests were stunned in the banquet hall, watching the surveince footage. It was clear that this wasn’t just a private meeting between <b>two </b>prople, it looked like Alfred was nning a murder.
Lea watched as Alfred tightly gripped his tie, and memories of their previous conversation brought a sting to her eyes. She remembered being locked away in a psychiatric hospital, where those who <b>imed </b>to be helping her were plotting against her. This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
During that time, she had studied their lip movements to understand their intentions. Now, she could read lips perfectly and decipher <b>what </b>Alfred
<b>was </b><b>saying</b>.
ke’s face darkened with palpable difort. He turned to look at Lea, and his anger red up. Originally intending to have the surveince footage turned off, he changed his mind. He wanted to witness firsthand how Alfred and Liliana would act as a couple and see if Lea’s feelings could withstand it
Liliana’s <b>face </b>turned ashen in the room with rage as she got up again. “Are youparing me to some insignificant little girl! I am a Duchess from Yostouder, the most distinguished and radiant woman”
Alfred looked <b>at </b>her as if she were trash on the <b>floor</b>. “You don’t have the right topare yourself to Lea<b>” </b>
Liliana <b>said</b>, “Alfred, a man like you shouldn’t be involved with such <b>a </b>lowly woman.” She stood up <b>and </b>walked toward him<b>, </b><b>and </b>her anger s
subsided when she reached him.
She gazed up at Alfred, who had captivated her, reaching out to touch his face gently. “I truly care <b>for </b>you. Alfred. Let’s get married. Together, we can be a powerful pair. Whatever you want, I can give you”
Alfred felt <b>a </b>surge of emotions like moltenva inside him. The cool touch of Liliana’s hand had triggered an outlet for his feelings. “Get away!” he <b>shouted</b>, showing her aside and stepping back to put distance between them.
Liliana watched Alfred drenched in sweat, his body and resolve to break down <b>again</b>. Smiling, she approached him and <b>said</b>, “Alfred, stop resisting The dosage is very high, and the effects of this drug are unprecedented. Human willpower can’t withstand it.” Meanwhile, she only <b>took </b><b>a </b><b>small </b>dose and remained entirely <b>in </b>control.
Liliana stood before him, pausing to gently pull down her cor, revealing a patch of smooth skin. Aware that the room’s surveince cameras were recording and that hundreds of guests were watching, she didn’t remove her dress entirely.
She moved closer, <b>her </b>hand touching <b>his </b>chest, feeling the heat of his well–defined muscles. She, too, sumbed to the frenzy “Give up resisting. Alfred Follow your instincts. Whates next will be an ultimate pleasure.
“Why resist?” she asked, guiding his <b>hand </b>toward her <b>chest</b>.
Just as his hand was about to touch her skin, Alfred forcefully pulled away. “I won’t touch you. It’s disgusting”
<b>Liliana </bughed wildly, <b>confident </b>of her victory. “Alfred, you can’t hold out much longer. You’ll be on your knees begging me in three minutes at
Alfred turned and went to push open the <b>window</b>. Therge <b>floor</b>–to<b>–</b>ceiling window was locked tight, and despite several forceful attempts to open it it remained unresponsive.
“It’s no use,” Liliana said. “All the <b>doors </b>and windows are locked; without the password or keys, there’s no way to open them. Even I don’t have a key We’ll both be stuck here until tomorrow morning
“Maybe I could even be carrying your child, the future heir of both the Andrews Group <b>and </b>the Manning Group, as <b>well </b>as my tide. What a prestigious child that would be.
“Alfred, don’t <b>you </b>want it? The night is just beginning, and we have plenty of time. She looked at him with eager anticipation.
Alfred’s legs wobbled, and he had to brace himself against the window ledge to stay upright. As he looked up at her, his vision was already doubled.
But mentioning a child made him think of his future with Lea, and his <b>reason </b>started to return. “What exactly did you drug me with?” He could feel the drug inside him not only driving his instincts but also eroding his strength and bodily <b>functions</b>, making it nearly impossible to resist.
“It’s a newly developed drug” she exined. “I’ve heard the effects <b>are </b>remarkable, everyone who’s used it has loved it. <b>You </b>can feel it yourself, can’t you! You can’t resist it. It’s because you have such a firm will that you’ve managed to hold out this long
“Alfred, I can’t hold on any longer either<b>,” </b>she said with a seductive, soft tone, tentatively guiding him to lie on the bed. “Will y
Alfred, with his hands, braced on either side of her, suddenlyughed. “You think I <b>can’t </b><b>resist</b>! Is that so<b>!</b><b>” </b>
Liliana frowned. “Yes”
Alfred looked down at her<b>, </b>analyzing her <b>as </b>a lion would consider its prey. “Liliana Manning, you have no idea w
you…take me, please!”
what I’ve sacrificed to be with Lea
Chapter 409
Previously, he had sacrificed everything<b>, </b>including his life. It was only through divine mercy <b>that </b>they had been given another chance.
“We’ve worked so hard to get to where we are today,” he <b>said</b><b>, </b>his eyes darkening coldly. “So I absolutely won’t allow myself to be tainted”
Liliana was jolied by his words, feeling the depth and purity of his love for <b>Lea</b>. Jealousy stirred within her, she desired that kind of love for herself “But what can you do. Alfred? You’re alreadypletely controlled and can’t <b>resist </b><b>at </b>all”
“Can’t resist!” Alfred Laughed wildly, raising his arm <b>and </b>viciously biting.
Turn it off! Turn it off Lea roared in front of the surveince <b>footage</b>. Turn off the cameras, turn off the video!” She grabbed a nearby chair and hurled it at the electronic screen.
The screen was mounted too high, and the chair only struck a corner with a bang, leaving the footage unaffected.
On the screen, Alfred’s arm <b>was </b><b>bitten </b>into tworge chunks, blood dripping onto Liliana’s <b>face </b>and chest. His mouth and face were smeared with blood, his already darkened eyes deepening rapidly. His strength surged back almost immediately, and he slowly began to <b>rise</b>.
Liliana’s face went pale, <b>and </b>the trembled all over. “Alfred W–What are y
you going to dot
“I’m going to kill you!” he said coldly, his bloodied <b>hand </b>reaching straight for her throat
