“Stop! Let me go!”
In desperation, Dorothy raised her hand and was about to slap it across Credence’s face.
Unexpectedly, her wrist was firmly clamped by Credence’s thumb and index finger.
She struggled, but she could not break free at all.
Dorothy could not fathom why he refused to let her go. She did not understand why he wanted to touch her body despite hating her. She was obviously the one who was hurt, but he treated her like a sinner instead.
Credence grabbed a clean, white towel from the towel rack. He then covered it over her lips, rubbing them with force.
As he exerted more strength, the towel tore a layer of skin off her lips. In an instant, blood could be seen seeping out.
“Hiss…”
Dorothy was in so much pain that she glared at him furiously. “Are you out of your mind?”
It seemed like Credence would not let things slide. Was he planning to tear her lips into pieces?
“It hurts! A*shole! What the hell do you want?”
Credence suddenly threw the towel away. Without warning, his lips found hers, biting on it fiercely. Dorothy almost burst into tears from the pain.
“D*mn it! Why is he so vicious?” she cursed inwardly.
In the trance of pain, Dorothy’s memory came back vaguely. When she was in a drunken state previously, she mistook the man who was hugging her as Credence. She couldn’t control herself. Thus, she kissed him. Never did she expect that that person was actually Juelz.
Getting drunk could really make a person do crazy things!
Dorothy finally understood the reason behind Credence’s strange behavior.
The fact that she had planted her lips on Juelz had seriously hurt Credence’s ego. As a result, he deliberately used this painful method to warn her.
Credence ignored Dorothy’s screams of pain. Instead, he focused on sucking the blood that seeped out through her lips. With his fair and cold face, he looked like a bloodthirsty madman!
Dorothy’s heart skipped a beat. She wondered if Credence had known everything about her kiss with Juelz.
How did he find out about that?
But soon, Dorothy’s face darkened. She could not help but sneer.
So what if he knew?
If he could have an affair with Rosalie while they were still married, why must she be left alone and cry herself to sleep every night?
“Credence, can you be more shameless? Since you never cared about me, why couldn’t you allow me to start a new life? Even if there is something between Juelz and me, it’s my personal affair. It has nothing to do with you!”
He responded by taking a few hard bites on her lips again.
“Argh… Don’t!”
Dorothy cried in pain. Her slim and well-proportioned body trembled under his control. At that moment, she looked miserable and pathetic.
However, Credence turned a blind eye to it. The veins on his forehead were bulging as he landed his hand on her dress’ neckline. With a swift movement, he tore her dress off. Then, he threw it on the sink.
He threw her a glance and said calmly, “As long as we’re still married, you have no right to say no to me!”
Their eyes met, but Dorothy could not see any emotion in his dark eyes.
His eyes were like a cold pool of swamp. They were so calm that it frightened her.
There was a sudden violent knock on the door.
The next second, Juelz’s roar could be heard.
“Credence Scott, if you are a f*cking man, come out and fight me one-on-one! Why are you bullying a woman?”
Apparently, Juelz had found a hammer. Holding the hammer tightly in this hand, he smashed it repeatedly on the bathroom door, which was made of solid wood.
Each time he heard Dorothy’s cry of pain, he felt as if his heart had been stabbed by a dagger. His heart ached so much that he grimaced in distress.
Dorothy was clamped down by a strong man in the bathroom. Not to mention, that man was her nominal husband. Except for being forced to do something bad, what else could make Dorothy groan in humiliation?
The door was too stable. Despite smashing it for a long time, Juelz failed to break it down. He was so anxious that his eyes turned red. All he wanted to do was to rush in and save Dorothy from Credence’s evil claws.
At this moment, he suddenly came to the realization that he was completely no match for Credence.
In terms of skills and intelligence, there was no way that he could defeat Credence.
How could a useless man like him succeed in taking Dorothy away from Credence?
Juelz’s heart throbbed in pain.
He tossed the hammer on the floor gently. Then, he knocked on the bathroom door and said firmly, “Credence, please let Dory go. She has nothing to do with this. It’s me that brought her here. I’m at fault, not her! I’ll pay you back with my life. If you want to kill me, just go ahead!”
As soon as Juelz finished speaking, Credence’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
He extended his arms and gave Dorothy a pull. With that, her naked body slammed hard against his cold and hard chest…
After throwing his cigarette on the ground, Credence stooped and squinted his eyes at her. He sneered, “Juelz is indeed very loyal to you, huh? But he is not very smart. His life is in your hands now, Dorothy.”
In fact, the Scott family and the Sherman family were distantly related.
Over the past two years, the two families had been making business deals frequently. No matter what, it was impossible for Credence to kill Juelz.
However, it would not be a problem for Credence to damage one of Juelz’s legs or break one of his arms.
In Credence’s opinion, Juelz was just a nasty fly that was flying annoyingly around Dorothy. He was far from being his love rival.
Nevertheless, Dorothy had no idea what Credence was planning. She had long been terrified by his heartless words. Her face turned pale, and her body couldn’t stop trembling. At the same time, sadness and humiliation filled her heart.
“What do you want me to do, so that you won’t hurt Juelz?”
Despite having an adopted family, Dorothy had never felt any warmth from her family. She was still as lonely as those orphans whose parents had died young.
It was not until she fell madly in love with Credence that she finally had the motivation to continue living.
Unfortunately, four years of loveless marriage and hopeless persistence had taken a toll on her. She could not take it anymore. Only Juelz managed to bring her a trace of family-like warmth.
She longed for Juelz’s warmth. Because of her selfishness, she had dragged Juelz into this mess.
It turned out that all the sorrow and hurt in the world could only be borne by her alone. People around her could only give her a little warmth. As for the rest, she could only depend on herself. No one could help her.
“Pleasure me to the max, and I’ll let him go.” Credence laughed in a low voice.
There was an eerie feeling to his laughter. In an instant, a wave of fear consumed Dorothy.
She was fully aware that when Credence was infuriated, his strength was extremely terrifying.
Dorothy’s hands were firmly clasped above her head. With Credence pressing down on her body, she could not do anything. She could only wriggle her body with all her might, hoping it would stop him.
However, she felt a piercing pain on her injured abdomen as soon as she exerted a bit of strength.
When she saw that Credence’s lips were about to land on her heavily-wounded lips, she closed her eyes. “Please no…” she begged him.
At this moment, Credence’s mobile phone rang.
He pulled out his mobile phone from his pocket and glanced at the screen. Seeing that it was a call from Rosalie’s attending doctor, he frowned slightly. He then moved his lips away from Dorothy’s.
“Hello. What’s the matter?” he asked coldly after picking up the phone.
His voice was deep and magnetic, but it contained a chilling coercion.
