Griffon?” How could it be him?
The person who had been torturing her for the past few years was actually Griffon?!
It was the Griffon who she had spent her entire life chasing after; the one whom she tried to get closer to by seducing his older brother!
She loved him so much! How could he do something so cruel to the person who truly loved him?
She didn’t want to believe it. Tears streamed down her face as she shook her head desperately. “You’re not behind this, are you?”
Griffon’ gaze slowly shifted to the mask in his hand, as if he felt sick even to look at her a second longer.
Tara raised her head, looking at the cold, noble and untouchable man in front of her. She was still in denial about what had happened.
“Why are you doing this to me…?” she trailed off.
Griffon took his time to reply, caressing the mask while staring at her coldly.
“You still don’t get it?”
Tara wanted to shake her head and deny it, but how could someone as smart as her not piece things together?
All because few years ago, Shelly and her had laid their hands on Taya in the shopping mall’s toilet.
But… Tara still couldn’t accept this, so she yelled at Griffon,
“You bought over the Thorin pack just to avenge that b*tch?!” Because of you, my father went from being the chairman to
an executive director! You’re the reason why I became a mere manager with no more power over the company!”
“You have taken everything that belongs to me, why do you still get this bunch of men to terrorize me every month?”
She despised the fact that Taya had gotten the heart of the man she had chased after someone who she’d never obtain so easily.
Plus, she had only bullied that b*tch once, who gave Griffon the right to punish her for the entire few years?
She unwrapped her hands from around her body, crawled up from that dark corner and stomped over to him in her heels.
“Griffon, I can still remember the time you slapped her. It really pleases me every time I think about it. If only you had slapped her to death, things would’ve been much better.”
He had her abducted to this basement, and even showed up personally. Griffon even went as far as to reveal his identity in front of her.
This meant he knew about her hiring people to impersonate the ‘masked men’ to defile Taya; he knew that she was still alive…
So Tara knew very well that Griffon didn’t come to beat her up this time, but to finish her off…
Since things had already reached this point, why should she beg him like the idiot she was before?
Griffon’ eyes were as cold as snow, like he was staring at a corpse.
After giving her a stare, he turned around and sat on the leather chair.
Under the well-tailored trousers, his legs overlapped lazily. The incomparably noble man leaned his back lightly against the back
of the chair and ordered, Two times.”
Zack, who was next to him, quickly understood his command. He walked up to Tara, raised his hand, and slapped her hard on the face twice.
Tara covered her swollen cheeks, and looked at the man sitting in the distance in disbelief.
“So I get a slap for calling your woman a b*tch and also your men idiots?”
“Okay, well played…”
Tara was so angry that her face contorted beyond recognition, she rushed toward him with a hideous face covered in heavy makeup.
Before her hand could touch his shoulder, she was pushed away by the tall and mighty masked man next to Griffon.
Her entire body shook in anger.
What’s so good about that useless b*tch? Why do you love her so much?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zack slapped her across the face once again.
“Ms. Thorin, if you call Ms. Palmer profanities again, don’t blame me for doubling the slaps!”
Tara, who was already extremely furious, didn’t pay Zack any attention. She didn’t care about him, or her own face.
With her watery eyes, she stared at the man who deemed himself too far above heir to even spinalk to him
“Griffon, I don’t understand We book the same, to why do you like her but the
The man on the leather chair still refused to answer her questions.
It was as if he really didn’t want to engage in any forms of conversation with her, he was only interested in seeing what she
had in mind next.
Tara looked at his cold and ruthless face. The spite in her eyes faded, and tears rolled down her face again uncontrollably.
“Griffon, for the sake of your pup period sweetheart, and also the girl who had a crush on you for so many years, answer me this once…”
Griffon tilted his head slightly, his eyes swept Tara from top to bottom.
“I never thought she looked like you. If this is some kind of a delusion you have, you’re just tarnishing her beautiful face.”
As soon as these words spilled out from his mouth, tears ceased from the corner of Tara’s eyes. Her pupils dilated as she stared at him in disbelief. “You…”
Before she could speak, she was pressed to the ground by two masked men.
Immediately afterwards, they used a small knife to carve something onto her face.
The cold touch of the knife’s blade cutting through her skin made her shriek in pain.
“Ah-my face!”
Her father once complimented her for being the best looking
among her siblings, and it was also her pride!
Right then, Griffon had ruined it for that b*tch! How can she not hate Taya and harbor vengeance towards her?
“You will regret this!!!”
He continued to stare at her nonchalantly with frost in his eyes.
“If it weren’t for the sake of my brother, I would have done the same as you did to Taya!”
Tara froze.
What he meant was that he’d send someone to defile her, just like she did to Taya.
She sat on the ground, covered her b loody face, and looked at the
man she had loved for half her life.
“I never thought that the masked man would be you. If I knew, I wouldn’t have sent someone to impersonate you!”
“Instead, I would’ve just kidnapped her without making a has sle.
Skin her alive, carve out all her flesh, reduce her to bone and dump her in the ocean so you’d never find her!”
Since she was about to die, she didn’t have anything else to worry about. Tara decided to unscrupulously provoke the man who had been watching her go crazy with cold eyes.
But… Despite her cursing and lashing at the woman he loved, it was as
if she still didn’t catch his attention.
Griffon just sat there, as if he was watching a clown. Without saying a word, he stared at her with frosty eyes, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.
It was as if he tolerated her brash last words to show kindness for his brother.
After Tara saw through his thoughts, she sat up straight and suddenly fell back… She had tried so hard for so many years, but still failed…
Griffon didn’t love her and he would never love her.
After Zack slapped Tara twice, he heard Griffon’ cold-blooded and heartless voice. “Clean this all up.”
He got up and left without even looking back.
Tara stared at his back, and suddenly raised her red lips and smiled.
“You can’t kill me yet because-
“The only person who knows the truth about Simon’s death is me…” Griffon halted in his tracks.
He turned around, eyes already bloodshot. But right then, they turned even redder with fury.
“What did you say?”
Tara raised her blood-covered chin, staring at the man who had paused his steps for her.
This time, she didn’t speak again. Instead, she looked at him arrogantly and smiled like a fool.
He would definitely spare her life this time. Tara thought
