“Isadora Brighton?” Robin looked interested. When the fox preaches, take care of your geese.
“Young man, since you have a visitor. I won’t hold you up any longer. My granddaughter can go home herself. Let’s play chess some other day.” Orson bid Robin farewell and left the house.
He had gained a lot today. First, he had made a friend who could always win against him. Second, he learned there was such a young, competent general in Fort Eastern and was amazed by Robin’s capability. Although Orson didn’t know Robin’s ranking, he was sure it must be high. Therefore, Orson left in satisfaction.
He ignored Lacey as she had never suffered any loss since childhood.
“Melody, can you take the girls to the second floor? I’ll meet Isadora Brighton in the living room.”
“OK, Mr. Bailey.” Melody went to take care of the girls.
Shortly after, Isadora entered the living room. She had changed her dress into a red one, which perfectly showed her slender waist. It also had a high cut that fully exposed her thigh. Whenever she made a move, her tender, smooth skin was eye-catching. She looked enchanting and seductive. While she looked at Robin, her affectionate eyes became dewy. She was indeed lethal to men.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. X. Please pardon me for not making an appointment before visiting you.” Isadora saw Robin sitting on the couch. He wore casual clothes and a horrible mask, but his dignified temperament as a king wasn’t hidden.
Isadora became delighted. After her plan failed, she didn’t return to the Brighton’s immediately. Instead, she got changed and wore an eye-catching dress to meet Mr. X.
She was confident to conquer him as she had never failed when hitting on a man. After seeing Mr. X in person, she realized he was more charming than she had imagined. Isadora was thrilled and couldn’t wait to wrap him around her finger.
“If you visit me, why do you hide a needle on your cuff? You don’t look sincere.” Robin raised his head and darted at her nonchalantly.
Isadora planned to approach him, but his remark stiffened her. Cold sweat oozed from her face. Mr. X was correct. She did hide a needle in her cuff. It was poisonous. He would die in less than three seconds if she inserted it into Mr. X’s body.
Lust can lead to bitter consequences.
Isadora and Constance always used this fact. They had undergone special training and could pull out the needle when it was the proper time on the bed, so they could kill the men they had sex with. After the men were killed, there was no symptom of being poisoned, and no legal medical expert could detect it. Relying on this needle and their skills, the two women had killed countless men. No one had found the evidence to suspect them.
Isadora planned to use the same trick to kill Mr. X if he was unwilling to compromise. Then she could explain to her aunt. Much to her surprise, Mr. X had found her needle.
With a gentle smile, Isadora pulled the silver needle from her cuff and put it on the table. Pretending to be weak, she said pitifully, “I’m just a woman. Many people want to bully me. That’s why I bring it along to defend myself.”
While she spoke, she swung towards Robin. Tossing her hair, she stared at him affectionately and parted her red lips. “Mr. X, you won’t blame me for that, will you?” She was getting closer and closer.
While Isadora moved, her red dress was loosened gradually. The cut on her dress hemline exposed more areas on her body. She believed no man could resist this scene and was determined to lure Mr. X.
However, when she was only one yard from Robin, a broadsword was stabbed in front of her, almost into her feet. “Bang!”
“Argh!” Isadora’s eyes pupils constricted. Staring at the silver broadsword, she feared. Her hunch told her she would die immediately if she continued approaching Mr. X.
“Mr. X… Why…” Isadora swallowed, looking at Robin.
“The area one yard around me is a forbidden area. If you approached me, your head would be chopped off. I don’t think you’ll be willing to be like that.”
Robin looked into her eyes. His eyes were steely, and his tone was murderous.
He knew Isadora aimed to hit on him, but he was married. Besides, in his opinion, Elise was more charming than Isadora. The latter didn’t deserve to seduce him at all.
Robin sneered.
Suddenly, Isadora felt a chill as if she were in an ice cellar. She subconsciously flinched. After distancing herself from Robin afar, Isadora finally didn’t feel suffocated. After grasping for breath, she looked at Robin in fear.
Isadora couldn’t help wondering what kind of man Mr. X was. He was too horrible, and she was almost scared to death under his gaze.
Inwardly, Isadora cursed. ‘Damn it! Who has our Brighton family offended this time?’
A while later, Isadora calmed down, patted her chest, and looked at Robin. Looking weak, she bit her lip to pretend to be timid. “Mr. X, our Brighton family doesn’t intend to become your foes. Why do you have to give my aunt and me a hard time? We’re just women. Mr. X, if you are willing. I can give you an unforgettable night tonight. You don’t need to pay anything. It’s only to eliminate the grudge between us.”
Isadora could tell Mr. X was horrible, more terrifying than any other men she had encountered before, so she became frightened.
She suggested pleasing Mr. X with sex because it was her hobby. Besides, she could tell Mr. X was an attractive man. She wouldn’t suffer a loss.
Robin snorted. “I’ve never considered you as my foes. Instead, you are always against me. Just women? You are not ordinary women.”
Robin knocked on the table. “Melody?”
“Yes, Mr. X.” Melody walked towards them while holding a folder. After receiving the command, she opened it and read the file. “On January 23rd, you were jealous of a college girl who was better-looking than you. You kidnapped and disfigured her. Ultimately, you sent the college girl to a mental hospital.”
“On March 17th, you hit on a married man and set him up. He beat his seven-year-old daughter to death. After that, the man was jailed, but you were not punished.”
“You were too bored on April 1st, April Fool’s Day. Then you deceived two high school girls who were campus belles to the remote area. When the police finally found them, they were already tortured miserably. It was only because they were good-looking, and you felt bored.”
“On June 7th, you were jealous of a company manager as her hair was longer and more beautiful than yours. You used all kinds of means to push her to commit suicide.”
“On June 18th…”
Melody didn’t stop until almost 10 minutes later. She almost lost control as she couldn’t believe such a vicious woman existed in this world.
“Isadora Brighton, I’ve only gathered your deeds this year. If all your deeds from the previous years were collected, I’m afraid this living room wouldn’t be enough to store the files. You and your aunt are vicious and ruthless. I cannot find any other women like you. And you said you were just women? How ridiculous!”
Robin gave Isadora a murderous gaze.
