NovelEnglishChapter 248:
This man! What did he mean by staying there? How shameless could he be?
Even if she had married him, that didn’t give him the right to force his way into her space! Did she ever give him
permission to... see anything?
Before the soap Stella threw could land on RK, he effortlessly avoided it. She couldn't help but feel frustrated and
unlucky. Why today, of all days, would he decide to chinstead of staying at the company?
“RK! Get out of here!”
Stella’s anger surged as she realized throwing things wasn’t working. She was desperate to make him leave, but
RK didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving. Instead, he started walking toward her.
His steps were slow, deliberate, and unnerving.
Clack. Clack. Clack.

The sound of his leather shoes on the tiled floor sent shivers down Stella’s spine. To her, it sounded like a
predator closing in on its prey. She panicked. But where could she go? She was stuck in the bathtub with no
escape, especially with her injured ankle.
Desperation overwhelmed her. Ignoring the pain in her right foot, Stella instinctively tried to move, but just as
she attempted to stand, a large hand wrapped firmly around her ankle.
RK had caught her foot!
The gap between them vanished as RK’s long strides closed the distance in a matter of seconds. Stella's heart
pounded as she tried to pull her foot back, but it was useless. The more she struggled, the more pain shot
through her already injured ankle.
“Do you want to lose your foot?” RK's deep voice cut through the tension like a blade.
Stella's eyes widened, goosebumps prickling her skin. His tone was low, calm, and frighteningly authoritative.

“You... just leave!”
“If 1 don’t stay here, where else would | go?”
Her face turned bright red, as if it would explode from embarrassment. What does he mean by that?!
“Don’t look!” she demanded, her voice shaky with both anger and humiliation.
The situation was beyond awkward.
“It's not like | haven't seen it before,” RK said casually, his eyes still fixed on her. He gently placed her foot back
in the bathtub, as though he’d done nothing wrong.
Stella’s mind spun in confusion.
What does he mean, ‘not like | haven't seen it before’?
“RK! Don’t talk nonsense! You haven't seen anything!” she shot back, feeling wronged.

Ever since she moved into the RK mansion, the number of times RK had returned could be counted on one hand.
When did this man ever have the chance to see her like this? Was there a hidden camera in the house?!
The thought sent a wave of dread through her. She instinctively glanced around, wondering if the bathroom was
under surveillance.
Before she could investigate further, RK pulled her ankle up again, his eyes studying it intensely.
“What are you doing?” Stella asked, trying once more to pull her foot away, but he held it firmly.
“What's wrong with your foot?” he asked, his gaze focused on her swollen ankle as if it were a puzzle to be
solved.
Stella's frustration boiled over. “Go and ask Sophia yourself!” she snapped.
She wasn’t about to cover for Sophia after being hurt by her. Ever since they were kids, their relationship had
been filled with tension, and Stella wasn’t going to protect someone who had injured her so blatantly.
Though Stella was often seen as soft-hearted, she had her limits. Sophia had always pushed those limits, and
today, the line had been crossed yet again.
