“Useless trash!” As he spoke, Brad landed a solid kick into the man’s chest, sending him sprawling onto the ground in pain

Brad was dressed in a fancy suit, his expression icy, looking down at the man writhing in pain on the ground as a pile of trash. “I’ll spare your damn life this time, but if you’re still so useless next time, you’ll die a horrible death!”

At Icovine Estate, Liam’s private doctor and nurses gave Emma a thorough check-up from head to toe and treated her wounds. The doctor said, “Mrs. Hall has a strong body, but the anesthetic dosage is a bit high, so she might sleep for two or three days.

“Thanks, I got it.” Liam replied.

After the doctor left, only Liam and Emma were left in the room. Liam sat by Emma’s bedside, his gaze unwavering as he stared at her, his doubts about her still unresolved. Why was there that kind of thing in her car! And what about those photos? And… what did she mean by that sentence she said at the cliff?”

Emma woke up faster than the doctor had anticipated at dawn the next day. As she glanced at Liam beside her, memories of the last night gradually flooded her mind.

She recalled it was Liam who suddenly appeared and grabbed her hand when she was on the verge of falling off the abyss. And Liam wasn’t in a wheelchair at the time. And that driver, who could assemble her device in such a short time, must have been trained in special skills, too.

For the first time, Emma realized that she had vastly underestimated Liam’s capabilities. She had many secrets, and so did he. Abruptly, deep voice sounded softly, “What are you thinking about?”

Emma snapped back to reality, only to find the man beside her pillow had already opened his eyes. “Mr. Hall.”

‘Do you know who attacked you yesterday?” Liam asked.

Emma shook her head. She had no idea who they were, but judging by their audacious tactics, she guessed they were likely from an international assassin organization and probably one of her enemies.

Jam had a lot of questions for her, but he couldn’t bring himself to ask anything at the sight of her frail face, Instead, he gently slid his fingers nto her hair, tenderly stroking it. “Rest a bit more. The doctor said the anesthesia hasn’t worn off yet.”

‘mma didn’t want to sleep in bed anymore. She’d burned too much energy last night and urgently needed to refuel. “Got any grub? I’m tarving

Nope, you can’t eat anything for six hours after anesthesia.” Liam refused her request.

mma was left speechless. Running low on energy, her mood was taking a hit, and the thought of waiting six more hours left her utterly opeless. She leaned against the big bed, her mind racing about what to eat in six hours.

efore long, Liam wheeled himself in with something in hand.

mma’s eyes lit up with curiosity. “What’s that? For me?”

Yeah, you ll definitely Like iL” Liam said.

As she saw the gaming console, Emina’s face immediately scrunched up with dischan. Having played at the FPS games countles such a childish gaming console excited little interest in her. “Twon’t play Just put it here?

Liam opened one of the packages and said, “There’s a cooking game inside, very realistic After a pause, he added, “You can quench year thirst with it”

As soon as he finished, the television screen flickered to life. A series of mouthwatering dishes, each no less tantalizing than those from Michelin starred restaurants, flashed one after another on the television screen.

“Liam, you did that on purpose Emma suddenly felt even hungrier. She lunged to snatch the controller from his hand, but as soon as hand extended, Liam effortlessly caught both her wrists. His towering figure leaned down, oppressively trapping her against the bed his prominent nose pressed against hers, their eyes locked in a stare

“Yeah, I did. Liam replied.

“Get away, hmm-” in a complete surprise to Emma, Liam’s large, well-boned hand cupped the back of her head as he bent down to kiss her Lips.

Emma’s gaze froze instantly. Liam was so close to her, dominating as if to steal her breath away. Emma sat there, dazed, completely oblivious That Liam had meticulously prepared for this, with the ultimate goal of a forceful kiss

Ever since last night, when he saw the photos, Liam had been itching to possess her, tea injured, he felt a pang of heartache and endured until now.

“What are you doing?” Emma asked.

“Is there anything else here besides you?” Liam teased

“What?” Emma took a second to react, then realized he was answering her question about what he was doing. Her cheeks instantly turned

beet red. “You rascal ”

The gloomy and reserved Liam in public turned out to be such a flirtatious man. With this thought, Emma pursed her lips and suddenly leaned forward, gripping Liam’s chin, She forcefully kissed him

Emma tasted briefly before backing down, her gaze seductive, “You’re not allowed to force a kiss on me. Only I can do so to you.”

Hearing her, Liam couldn’t help but chuckle, his lips curving into an utterly captivating smile. “Is there a difference?”

“A huge difference!” Emma couldn’t quite put her finger on what it s

it was, but there was something about Liam that gave her a strong sense of pressure. Even though he usually hid it well, appearing gentle and refined, she still sensed it a powerful wave of anger emanating from him just now. That was why she became extremely nervous when he forced her into a kiss.

“What now? I just forced a kiss on you,” Liam joked on.

“Well, you can’t do that again…hmm…” Emma couldn’t believe it, as Liam once more disregarded her consent, one hand propping up the bed beside her, directly pinning her down on the bed.

This time, it was no longer the fleeting kisses as before. Liam easily pried open her lips and teeth, kissing her deeply. At the same time, he was staring at her, observing her reactions.

Emma’s face soon turned even redder due to mild oxygen deprivation. She gripped Liam’s shoulders with all ten fingers forcefully. Feeling. her nails, Liam said while kissing, “Relax a bit, It’s a little hurt.”

Emma suddenly got the wrong idea, Feeling embarrassed, she quickly let go of her grip, only to be met with an even more domineering kiss from Liam.

She couldn’t dodge, feeling like her lips were about to be kissed swollen and moaning. “It hurts…” Yet, Liam showed no sign of stopping at
