Chapter 141 Punish Her


    Chapter 141 Punish Her


    Lilian stood up abruptly, her eyes fixed on the man entering the door.


    Francis walked in with long strides and came to Lilian''s side. He took off his coat and casually threw


    it on the sofa.


    He raised his hand and gestured towards his shoulder. The bodyguard standing at the door


    immediately understood and silently left.


    His calm gaze fell on Lilian''s face, a calm before the storm.


    Lilian instinctively took a step back.


    Francis took a step forward, pressing closer until Lilian fell back onto the sofa.


    He leaned down, staring into Lilian''s eyes as he said, "Do you remember what I said?"


    Lilian nervously intertwined her fingers and looked up at his piercing eyes. A trace of fear came


    from her heart.


    Francis said, "Did I say that if you didn''t behave, I would break your legs and lock you up?"


    Lilian''s pupils contracted, and amidst panic and fear, there was also a hint of pleading in her eyes.


    She bit her lip and shook her head slightly.


    Francis''s slender fingers lightly held her chin, his tone unexpectedly gentle. "But how could I bear to


    break your legs? What should I do?"


    If he was furious, Lilian would have some room for resistance. But since he was calm like this, she


    was left with only fear.


    Because of fear, her shoulders trembled uncontrobly, and she couldn''t help but want to stand up


    and escape from there.


    Francis stared at her eyes for a while, suddenly straightened his body, and turned his head slightly.


    "Then I can only lock you up for now."


    Lilian''s eyes widened, and she anxiously gestured with her hand, but Francis had already turned


    away and no longer looked at her.


    "Nelson."


    Nelson was waiting outside. When he heard his name, he quickly ran in.


    "Mr. Landau."


    "I leave it to you."


    She reached out to pull his sleeve, and Francis nced at her.


    Tears welled up in Lilian''s eyes as she shook her head, begging him not to lock her up.


    Francis raised his hand, pulled back his sleeve, and coldly looked down at her. "You should learn


    your lesson."


    After speaking, he walked out without looking back.


    Lilian watched his gradually disappearing figure, opened her mouth, and tried to make a sound, but


    it was useless.


    She could only watch him disappear from her sight.


    Lilian could only turn her gaze to Nelson, regardless of whether he could understand or not. She


    gestured, "Please don''t lock me up."


    The look in Nelson''s eyes wasplicated. Although he couldn''t understand, he could read her


    meaning from her eyes.


    He chose to avoid Lilian''s gaze. "Ms. Rossum, I am just following orders. Please don''t make it


    difficult for me."


    Lilian''s hand paused in mid-air. She stared at Nelson, and tears uncontrobly rolled down her


    cheeks.


    She clenched the edge of the sofa. The pitch-ck environment and the lingering panic constantly


    shed in her mind.


    Just the thought of it already made her suffocate.


    Francis knew what she feared the most, which was why he used this thing that terrified her the most


    to punish her.


    He knew it all.


    All her pleas were in vain.


    Nelson said, "Ms. Rossum, don''t waste any more time. If you anger Mr. Landau again, thewyer


    you hired might suffer as well."


    Lilian froze slightly.


    Mr. Vaughn...N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Nelson didn''t want to take action, but he could always find a weakness to handle her and knew she


    wouldn''t want to implicate innocent people. Therefore, no matter how unwilling and scared she was,


    she would do it.


    Lilian stiffened for a moment on the sofa. Her fingers clenched and then rxed.
