| lowered my attitude completely, something | had never done before. The words felt foreign on my tongue, but |

forced them out anyway.

“Elena, I'm sorry. | was wrong today.”

She stared atfor several seconds, her green eyes wide with shock. Then she seemed to

snap back to reality, pushing against my chest with her elbow.

“I'm dizzy,” she said, her voice slightly slurred from the wine | could smell on her breath.

| didn’t let go of her. Instead, | stared at her with my dark golden eyes, studying every detail of

her flushed face.

“You always make excuses when you don’t wantto touch you.”

Elena stiffened inexplicably. When she didn’t respond, | made a decision that surprised even

myself.

| picked her up horizontally, feeling her body tense in my arms.

“What are you doing!” she protested, her heart thumping against her ribs.

| placed her gently on the bed. She immediately reached out to pull the quilt, wrapping herself

tightly like a protective cocoon.

| had expected her to avoid me. Seeing her defensive movements, | smiled bitterly.

“If I really want to touch you, can you avoid it?”

Elena's face darkened. It seemed that in the next second, she would say something harsh to

cutdown.

My voice dropped to a low, hoarse whisper. “I won't force you anymore.”

(Elena’s POV)

| was stunned and looked at him hesitantly. Although | didn’t quite dare to believe what Marcus said, it was the

first t| had seen him retreat step by step, with an attitude so low.

Love will make people humble. He's finally realizing it, isn’t he?

The thought struckunexpectedly. Was this what love looked like when it finally broke through pride and

arrogance?

| did not respond for a long time. He sat by the bed for a while, then retracted his gaze and

slowly got up.

“You should rest early.”

He left the bedroom without another word. | watched his back disappear through the

doorway, perhaps because | had drunk red wine, so | had such a complicated mood.

Maybe | would be fine after a sleep.

(Sophia’s POV)

The next day, in a suburban healing facility, | woke up to find myself receiving an IV drip in the

hospital. The sterile white walls seemed to mock my situation.

The female healer walked in with my medical records, her expression professional but

concerned.

“Ms. Rivers, your condition may require two days of hospitalization for observation. Do you

have any family members accompanying you? A mate, or parents?”

My voice was dry and hoarse when | answered. “I don’t have any family members...”

The healer was stunned and looked atseriously. “Don’t you feel it yourself? When you

were sent to the hospital, your lower body was torn and there was obvious bleeding, so |

asked you these questions.”

The healer spoke patiently. “If you have been violated, | suggest you call the pack

enforcement.”

| bit my lip, my face pale with humiliation and rage. “This is my business. | don’t need you to

interfere.”

Being kindly reminded, but seeing my attitude, the healer didn’t say anything more. She left quietly, probably

thinking | was another stubborn victim.

After the healer left, | lay back on the bed, biting my thumbnail tightly. My face was extremely

ugly as the memories crashed over me.

The man’s cruel and cold words kept echoing in my ears: “One golf ball is five million. Let's

see how many you can get?”

Sure enough, | received a text message on my phone that a remittance had arrived. A full ten

million.

It was the ten million | had earned through torture and pain!

(Elena’s POV)

On my side, | walked out of the consultation room, closed the door, and turned around to see

Hugo Ashworth leaning against the wall.

| was stunned. “Professor Ashworth?”

He nodded. “Didn’t he make things difficult for you that day?”

| lowered my eyes. “Not really.”

After speaking, | continued, “Sorry, | also dragged you into this.”

“I don’t care.”

| was stunned. When | met his gaze, | couldn’t help but think of the conversation | had heard

that day, and shifted my gaze away somewhat awkwardly.

Hugo noticed my discomfort, frowned, and vaguely guessed something. “Are you... avoiding

me?”

| paused for a few seconds and shook my head. “No.”

“Is that so?” Hugo suddenly approached me. “I thought you were very strange that day, which

madehave to suspect that you heard something?”

His guess was too straightforward, causingto be speechless. It was this moment of hesitation that made

Hugo confirm his guess.

He laughed. “You really heard it. Tell me, what did you hear?”

| pursed my lips and squeezed out a smile, scratching my cheeks helplessly. “Mrs. Ashworth said you like me, but

| don’t think it’s possible...”

“Maybe there's that possibility?” he asked calmly.

| paused, raised my head to look at him. “But we haven't known each other for long...”

Hugo Ashworth said, “We met a long tago.”
