Taya’s heart skipped a beat the moment she saw Roman. Fear and nervousness overwhelmed her.
“Roman… Beta Starke…”
She was so scared that the blood drained from her face and her voice was trembling.
Seeing she was so scared, Roman tilted his head slightly and said, “Taya, long time no see.”
Even though she was trembling, she kept outwardly calm. “Is there something you came here to see me about?”
Roman seemed to smile and raised his eyebrows slightly. “Nothing, I just want to thank you.”
After that, he removed the mask on his face, revealing his mouth, which was covered in stitches.
The dense stitches looked a little scary, making Taya step back.
However, Roman did not care at all. He crooked his finger at her and said, “Come here.”
Taya shook her head. Not only was she unwilling to go over, but she also turned around and ran to the bathroom next door.
Seeing this, the two bodyguards holding iron rods behind Roman immediately caught up with her.
After blocking her way, they held her arms on both sides and carried her to Roman.
The bodyguard held her down, and she fell to her knees at Roman’s feet.
“You’re still so good at running.”
After mocking her, Roman lowered his head to look at Taya with a sinister smile.
“But where can you run to?”
He chuckled, staring at her with his cold eyes.
“Thanks to you, my hands and legs are disabled, and even my mouth is ruined. How do you think I should thank you?”
He stressed the last sentence as if he wanted to tear her apart.
Seeing him like this, Taya was so scared that she trembled.
“I… I don’t understand…”
“You don’t understand?”
Roman raised his eyebrows, and the twisted smile on his face became more and more ghastly and terrible, misshapen with all the stitches.
“The night you gave me the contract, I met a group of people. The leader of that group was wearing a golden mask.
“He said something then, but I was tortured so much that I almost fainted and didn’t hear clearly what he said.
When I woke up, I tried my best to recall and think about it.
Fortunately, I finally remembered. Guess what he said?”
Roman spoke in a tone that felt like he was chatting with an old friend, which made Taya feel even more scared.
Especially when he mentioned that the leader was wearing a golden mask.
She had previously suspected that the person who had made a move against Roman was Greyson, but she had no proof.
She shook her head.
“I have no idea…”
“You can’t guess?” Roman sneered. “Haha, then I’ll tell you.”
He bent down closer to her. So close, she could feel his breath on her face.
“He said that I hugged her, kissed her, and let her sit on my lap, so he had to punish me. I’ve thought about it carefully. You’re the only one I’ve ever hugged and kissed but haven’t slept with…”
Taya’s face turned paler.
She had thought that Roman was here to get even with her for the fake contract, but it turned out that he was here for a different revenge!
While she was lost in her thoughts, Roman ignored the tearing pain in his thigh, raised his leather shoes, and lifted her chin with the tip of his toes.
“Bitc h! I’m in this state because of the people you sent to me. Don’t you think I should thank you?”
Taya didn’t see the anger in his eyes before. Now, she was forced to look up at him and saw the wolf rising within him. Whatever had been done to him must have been done with silver knives, so that he couldn’t ever heal from it.
She was so scared that her heart skipped a beat. But she couldn’t show Roman any weakness, so she gritted her teeth.
And forced herself to calm down.
“Roman, I have never sent anyone to harm you, nor do I know the masked person you mentioned…”
Even if Roman firmly believed she had sent Greyson to kill him, she was unable to admit she knew Greyson.
It was true that she had not ordered Greyson to deal with him. She had only found out about it the next day after reading the news.
Moreover, she was also a victim-not just of Greyson, but of Roman.
“You don’t know him?”
Roman was sure Taya was playing dumb, and he laughed sinisterly again.
His strange and gloomy laughter gave Taya goosebumps all over.
Clenching her fists, she gritted her teeth and denied, “That the masked man even dared to deal with you means he must have a powerful background. How could someone like me come into contact with such a powerful person…”
“You can still talk smoothly, just like before. I almost believed you again, but this time…”
His wolf’s eyes were full of gloom and anger, and his voice was cruel when he spoke again.
“I will never let you off!”
After saying that, he kicked Taya away.
Before Taya had time to react, the bodyguard hit her hard on the back with an iron rod!
When the stick came down, she felt a piercing pain spreading from her back, making her break out in a cold sweat…
“Bitc h ! Not only did you deceive me with the Knight pack, you also sent someone to harm me. Do you think I’m easy to deal with?”
His appearance was ruined, his body was disabled, and he had to face a giant breach of contract penalty from the Knight pack. These were all because of her.
When he woke up and learned that his father had been arrested and the Starke pack had fallen, he wanted to revive his pack with the contract Taya had helped him get!
However, the Knight pack told him that according to the contract terms, if he broke the contract, not only would he not be able to get the Weston City project, but he would also have to compensate the Knight pack with a huge penalty fee.
Only then did he realize that the breach of contract clause in the agreement stated that the Starke pack could not receive any negative news.
It was as if they had already anticipated that he would be exposed to negative news, intentionally asking him to correct the contract terms and then revealing his negative news. This ruined his reputation and burdened him with a giant breach of contract penalty.
This made him suspect that Taya and the Knight pack had played him together. After all, the person who asked him to correct the contract that night was Mr. Chilton of the Knight pack!
But he wasn’t sure if the masked man was Mr. Chilton, so he had to force Taya to tell him.
“Tell me! Who’s that masked man? Is he Mr. Chilton?”
His cold voice came from above her head, which made Taya tremble with fear.
She didn’t understand why Roman suspected the man in the mask was Mr. Chilton. Just as she was about to ask him, she was hit by another stick.
The pain of her bones and flesh breaking were so painful that she could not even make a sound. She could only curl up to try to relieve the pain.
