Chapter 15

Lucius’s name should be Lucifer instead!

This was his palace; he ruled this place. The bodyguards had no choice but to obey him. They hurriedly walked toward Violet and grabbed her.

She looked at him in disbelief. He was like a grim reaper. She started tearing up. “No! Stop!”

Lucius ignored her and just went upstairs. He was indifferent,” haughty, and cold.

She struggled and glared at him. “Lucius, don’t do this! Please, let me go. I beg you!

“I’m not Agatha!

“Please, Lucius. I beg you!”

He continued to ignore her.

She begged and tried to tell him that she was not Agatha, but all her efforts were in vain.

The bodyguards tried to hold her down. Despite her best efforts, she was unable to protect herself.

How could she possibly be a match for a group of powerful bodyguards? Was she fated to go through that and die?

“Lucius, you coward!” she yelled angrily. This was the only way she could express her rage.

Lucius stopped. He stomped back to her and said, “Let her go!”

He was walking on the carpet, so no sound was made. Yet the way he walked sent chills down her spine.

The bodyguards felt relieved and backed away.

Violet was on the floor. She looked pitiful with her hair and clothes disheveled.

“What did you say?” He crouched down and looked down at her haughtily.

Since she was already driven into desperation, she just said whatever came to mind. “What? You don’t think you’re a coward? Why won’t you spare a woman who doesn’t love you, then? Why are you targeting a defenseless woman?”

The room fell into heavy silence. The bodyguards sucked in sharp breaths.

She was the only person who dared to talk to him that way!

She had reached a point where she no longer cared about the consequences. She said, “Why should Agatha only love you? She has the freedom to love anyone and the right to choose who she wants to have a child with! You’re a coward for treating a woman this way just because she cheated on you!”

“Just because you cheated on me?!” he repeated. His expression turned colder as he pursed his lips.

He looked like he was about to explode.

“Looks like you need a wake-up call!”

He lifted her up and dragged her out. He then drenched her with a pail of cold water. She now looked even more disheveled and could not even breathe properly due to the cold.

“F*ck you, Lucius! You coward! You’re such a loser!”

She was willing to go all out on him. If worse came to worst, she would just die, anyway. No matter how he doused her, she would never stop cursing at him!

He pinned her down so she could not move.

She felt suffocated and could not keep her eyes open any longer. She closed her eyes and passed out.

He let her go and looked at the motionless Violet on the floor. He raised an eyebrow and felt confused.

Did she faint just from this?

“Master Lucius, she’s having a high fever,” George said after quickly checking on her.

Only then, Lucius noticed how unusually flushed she was. He remained indifferent as he ordered, “Call the doctor over to treat her.”

He was only treating her just so he could punish her even more.

He walked out without sparing a glance at her.

It was already dusk when Violet finally woke up. She was dressed in dry clothes and was lying in bed with an IV drip in her hand. A nurse was moving around her.

The clanging of the iron chain on her wrist echoed as she shifted her body. She still had not broken free from Lucius’s clutches.

“Madam, you’re awake?” George came over and asked in a low voice.

She shot a glance at him. “Still alive.”

Death was inevitable sooner or later if she were to be confined by such a crazy man.

“Madam, you should not speak to Master Lucius like that.” Even though he did not like Violet, it was still his job as a butler to make sure Lucius did not get upset.

“Why can’t I? He deserves it!” She felt extremely upset. She not only wanted to yell at him but also wanted to stab him and kill him.

“Does cheating really mean I deserve death? If he can’t handle this, is he even a real man?”

George’s expression darkened. “Don’t you know what’s really bothering Master Lucius? Because of you, he’s practically an outcast in his family, and Imperial Enterprises almost went bankrupt.”

Was it that serious?

She wanted to ask for more details, but George had already walked away.

She really should prioritize letting Lucius know that she was not Agatha.
