A chill swept over N, causing her to tremble uncontrobly.
rk’s gaze darkened as he noticed the faint curves on her chest, and he leaned down to kiss her corbone.
“Don’t touch me!” N struggled desperately, but she was pinned by rk.
The inherent power disparity between a man and a woman left her with no chance of escape. Her face contorted with disgust and anger. Even the slightest touch from him made her feel nauseous to the
extreme.
“N, your refusal won’t work this time<b>.</b>”
Only by getting her pregnant would she stay by his side
rk ignored N’s disgusted gaze and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
The next moment, N bit down hard <b>on </b>rk’s lips, the taste of blood spreading in their mouths.
rk released N, wiped the blood from his mouth with a sneer, and gripped her chin to force her to look at him. “N, you can’t escape today.”
Just as he leaned down to kiss her corbone again, a series of knocks suddenly sounded at the door.
Mr. rk, Mr. Damon is here.”
rk frowned in confusion. Damon had never visited before, so why was he suddenly there?
After a moment’s thought, he replied, “Understood. Tell him I’ll be down shortly.”
After the maid left, rk looked at N. “Wait here for me.”
N turned her head away without saying a word.
rk didn’t force her to respond. Instead, he straightened his clothes and left the bedroom.Original from N?velDrama.Org.
Once the <b>door </b>closed, N heaved a sigh of relief, feeling like she had narrowly escaped a disaster. She quickly got up, walked to the window, scanned the turf below, hesitated for a moment, then closed her eyes and jumped down.
rk found Damon sitting on the sofa with a cold expression when he came downstairs, Damon’s serious demeanor made him uneasy.
“Uncle Damon, what brings you here today?”
“What’s going on between you and that secretary of yours?”
“What?” rk’s eyes widened in disbelief.
How did Damon know about this?
“I won’t repeat myself. I heard you and that woman have a baby. You know what happens to the men of the Sumners when they cheat, right?”
rk turned pale, his gaze filled with panic. “Uncle Damon, I promise to handle this. Please don’t tell Dad and Grandpa.”
Damon stared at him coldly, devoid of any warmth. “If you’re afraid now, why did you <b>cheat </b>in the first ce?”
Richard and his younger brother, Simon Sumner, founded the Sumner Group together. When they achieved sess, Simon grew disdainful toward his wife, who had stayed by his side faithfully. He Indulged himself, and his infidelity nearly bankrupted thepany after <b>a </b>deceitful woman stole and leaked confidential information.
This led to Simon’s expulsion by the shareholders. Within a month, he spiraled into decline <b>and </bmitted suicide by jumping into a river. His wife and child disappeared from Saintornia without a trace.
Since then, Richard established <b>a </b>rule in the Sumner family: any betrayal of a partner, regardless of capability, disqualified one from taking over thepany.
If Damon hadn’t found <b>out </b>that N was renting outside and found it strange enough to let his secretary investigate, he wouldn’t have learned that his usually mature and steady nephew would do such a thing
“Uncle Damon, I failed to resist temptation at first, but I regret it now. Please give me another chance.”
Damon stood up, radiating a terrifying aura. “You shouldn’t be pleading with me. You should be pleading with your wife. If you can’t even control your <b>own </b>desires, how can you handle the Sumner Group?<b>” </b>
With that, he didn’t wait for rk’s reply and left.
Once Damon’s figure disappearedpletely from the doorway, rk felt the pressure on him disappear. In just two minutes, he had broken out in a cold sweat!
But why would Damon suddenly be concerned about his affairs?
Before rk could make sense of it, his phone in <b>his </b>pocket suddenly rang. Seeing his mother’s name, he
blinked.
As soon as he answered, an angry voice echoed. “rk,e to my ce right now!”
There was a pause before she added, “Don’t bring N. Your secretary is here with me.”
At these words, rk instantly understood. Jordyn must have told his mother, Cindy Sharrock, about the pregnancy. Otherwise, Cindy wouldn’t be this angry.
“I’ming over immediately.” His voice was cold and subdued, struggling to suppress the anger he felt.
