Chapter 193
The words Christine wanted to yell were instantly lodged in her throat. She didn’t dare cause any more trouble. She stamped her feet unwillingly as she stood with Seline, glaring at the couple dining inside the restaurant. Seline’s gaze never left Austin as waves of turmoil churned fiercely in her heart. She gave Christine a side glance as she nudged her with her elbow, asking in a low voice, “Do you know that man?”
Christine shook her head and replied, “No.” If she had known such an outstanding man, she would have already had her way with him. Christine looked at Suzanne with contempt and grumbled, “What good could come out of the people associated with Suzanne? He’s probably just a random upstart’s son, drooling over Suzanne’s looks.” It certainly didn’t seem like it.
Seline’s gaze returned to Austin. She frowned slightly as she pondered if he was really just an upstart’s son. Christine continued, “Suzanne is nothing without the Yates family. How likely would a man fall for her? Despite what she said, her gaze lingered on Austin as she thought, “That man is so handsome. My life would be worth living if I could sleep with him.” Hearing those words, Seline felt a surge of satisfaction. She raised her chin slightly and said arrogantly, “You’re right.” Suzanne was a bitch who was only worthy of associating with lowly people. All Suzanne could do was watch her live happily ever after with Jenson. Seline’s mood instantly brightened. She cast a disdainful glance at Suzanne before turning to head to the mall. “Let’s go shopping.”
Christine’s eyes gleamed. As long as she flattered Seline while they went shopping, she would get her hands on quite a number of luxury goods. Christine walked beside Seline, exclaiming happily, “Let’s go, Seline!” She would probably be able to extort a substantial amount of goodies from her today.
At the same time, Todd’s room in the Lloyd residence was pitch-black. There wasn’t even a sliver of light as the curtains were drawn. Suddenly, the sound of Todd’s panting broke through the silence. After a while, Todd roared with anger, bellowing, “This is your punishment for being horny, bitch!” A belt cracked, followed by a woman’s agonized scream. Todd didn’t stop; instead, he swung the belt with an even faster pace. The woman cried out for mercy incessantly, “I’m sorry, Todd! Ahh, it hurts so much! Let me go!” She struggled as she tried to leave the bed, but Todd yanked her hair back hard. His malicious voice rang out once more. “Let you go? You’ve taken my money, so you’d better accept all of this.” Then, there was a flurry of sounds as he continued to whip her.
The room door was finally opened after a long time. As the lights flickered on, the darkness was instantly lifted. There was a dying woman on the bed with red marks and blood all over her. Frankie stormed into the room and glared at Todd with a frown. “You can toy with women however you want, but you can’t kill them at home.” Very quickly, two bodyguards rushed into the door and hastily carried the woman out.
Todd casually grabbed his underwear. After putting it on, he smashed everything he could in the room while howling maniacally, “It’s not working! Why is it still not working?” Then, he collapsed on the ground and glared viciously at a corner. Dark shadows were under his eyes, and his expression was filled with menace. Frankie glanced at him and walked to the window.
