Nicole remained in a haze, her consciousness fluctuating.
Unable to discern Lowe’s intentions, she could only manage, “What… What are you doing?”
Nicole understood the gravity of her situation.
Vicki’s threat resonated vividly in her mind.
Vicki vowed to harm Austin.
Such a notion was utterly intolerable! She would never allow anyone to harm Austin!
Nicole clenched a shard of broken ss tightly, piercing her palm and using the pain and blood to fend off drowsiness.
She couldn’t afford to lose consciousness.
Lowe was nothing but a despicable individual.
Before long, Lowe prepared a drinkced with certain additives and coerced Nicole into consuming it.
“Drink up.
It’s an aphrodisiac.
Later, you’ll entertain me.
”
It wasn’t that Lowecked initiative.
He simply couldn’t muster it.
Despite entertaining various thoughts about engaging with Nicole, he found himself unable to achieve an erection.
If he wished for Nicole’spliance, he had to assert dominance first.
That was the only way to make her heed hismands.
Nicole attempted to topple the drink, but Lowe had anticipated her move and seized her wrist, applying a forceful twist.
Nicole weakened, and the broken ss plummeted to the ground alongside her hand.
Lowe chuckled scornfully.
“Miss Lawrence, I suggest you cooperate.
Otherwise, you’ll face consequences.
”
He grasped Nicole’s chin,pelling her to consume the concoction.
Feigning sincerity, he added, “Miss Lawrence, don’t feel aggrieved.
Jarrod isn’t amendable individual.
He’s vtile and perpetually wears a stern expression.
I simply don’t appreciate such traits.
I, on the other hand, treat women with kindness and generosity, far better than him.
”
Nicole’s mouth was held shut, rendering her incapable of forming coherent sentences, only emitting muffled sounds.
Lowe felt content witnessing Nicole consume half of the liquid and pped his hands gleefully.
He continued, “Exactly.
There’s no benefit in defying me.
But if youply and serve me well, I’ll reward you generously…”
During his speech, he delivered a harsh p across Nicole’s cheek, as if he was pping a woman in a? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
brothel.
The sting of the p jolted Nicole awake, igniting a fierce gleam in her eyes.
“If you darey a hand on me, you’ll regret it!” she coldly warned.
Lowe chuckled.
“Miss Lawrence, still defiant even now.
You possess the spirit of a nobledy, steadfast and unyielding.
I rather admire itt”
Nicole fixed him with a steely gaze and enunciated each word, “I’m not jesting.
Both you and your sister will pay the price!”
Lowe thought Nicole was just being stubborn and pretending to be reserved.
He wondered if she would still resist him after the drink took effect.
Taking his time, Lowe chatted with Nicole about various topics, trying to find ways to stimte himself since he couldn’t achieve an erection.
“Miss Lawrence, can you tell me why women like you are all interested in someone like Jarrod?” Lowe asked sincerely.
“I’m not that bad, am I? Why do women only care about my money and not me?
Damn it! Jarrod is so cold and treats women poorly.
Is it because he has some secret that makes women feel especiallyfortable in bed?
“Hmm?”
Lowe couldn’tprehend why so many women were drawn to Jarrod.
He wasn’t bad-Looking, even if he wasn’t as handsome as Jarrod.
Wasn’t status and identity supposed to be a man’s greatest assets?
