Was that your first kiss just how?” he asked
That question leh Mabel momentarily stunned her face flushing red.
A surge of indescribable anger welled up within Xavier. As his expression grew colder, he roughly grabbed Mabel’s arm. pulling her up and striding toward the bathroom
“Let me go. I beg you. Please let me go Mabel pleaded humbly for mercy.
Xavier dragged her along, but her hindered movements caused her to stumble and nearly fall several times His inexplicable
ger meant he couldn’t care less about the woman trailing behind him.
Chor inside the bathroom, Xavier abruptly pulled her in and, before she could steady herself, yanked her head toward the sink. He turned on the faucet, forcing Mabel’s head under the rushing water. She sputtered and coughed, gasping. “No. please, no
Xavier could not suppress his anger: his dark eyes flickered with furious flames. Without uttering a single word, he repeatedly brushed his broad palm over the woman’s lips
“M–Mr. Scott the coughed repeatedly, “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. P–Please, forgive me. It’s all my fault. Her pleas for mercy echoed amida the sound of rushing water and her choking sobs…
The man remained silent, relentlessly wiping her lips with an indifferent expression. He continued until her lips cracked and swelled, turning a painful red. Only then did he finally let.
Once released from his grip, Mabel leaned against the black marble, overcome by a fit of urgent coughing. She looked utterly disheveled at that moment. From above her, a cold voice rang out “Tell me, how did Henry kiss you just now?
Speechless. Mabel looked up in shock, her lips half–parted. What kind of question is this? How am I supposed to answer that Is he trying to humiliate met

She averted her gaze in discomfort, falling silent. Perhaps this was the most in the moment. He’s too much. How could he humiliate me like this!
The man before her narrowed his eyes instantly. How dare the avert my gaze?
His slender fingers suddenly reached out, gripping her chin and forcing her eyes to meet his
Xavier leaned closer, closing the distance between them rapidly, causing Mabel’s eyes to widen in surprise.
He was so close that their lips nearly touched, and for a fleeting second, her heart skipped a beat.
His lips brushed against hers, but then he shifted away, leaning toward her ear. His thin lips pressed against the curve of her ear as he let out a derisive chuckle. She heard his mocking insult: “Don’t tell me a woman like you would think I’d kiss you?”
Mabel felt as though she had been thrown off a cliff, the color draining from her face in an instant.
He looked at her, a cruel smirk playing on his lips, filled with utter disdain. “You’re disgusting.”
That was the final straw. She felt her world start to spin as her body went limp, collapsing onto the marble floor. He’s a devil?
A shadow fell over her, and she knew it was Xavier’s.
She curled up tighter, hugging her knees closer to her chest, reminding herself not to provoke this devil. As long as she didn’t upset him, everything would be fine. I must get out of here. I must stay alive.
With her head buried in her chest. Mabel couldn’t see the displeasure lurking in the eyes of the man standing before her.
Xavier looked down at her from the top, finding it impossible to reconcile the pitiful creature before him with the confident Mabel from his memories.

His sharp gaze fixated on the woman on the ground, an unrecognized anticipation lingering in the air. Even he was unaware
of it.
Mabel’s shoulders quivered slightly, followed by a self–deprecating laugh. At that moment, dignity meant nothing to her. She felt like a criminal, reduced to the identity code 926. I’m no longer the Mabel I used to be anyway. What do I need dignity for? What matters most to me is staying alive.
Mabel knelt before him. “Mr. Scott, please, I beg you. Please let me go. I’m just a useless piece of trash.”
Xavier was utterly taken aback. His expression turned icy cold in an instant, rage surging within him.Is she truly willing to stoop so low that she can disregard her own dignity so easily?
The man’s face turned ashen, but he couldn’t articulate his feelings. With a fierce punch, he struck the mirror before him. His voice, filled with rage, echoed through the room. “Get out!”
Mabel’s face lit up with joy as if she had been granted a pardon. She struggled to her feet, limping as if making a desperate escape, and began to move away.
Behind her, Xavier watched her retreating figure with a cold, steely gaze. His handsome, chiseled face darkened in an instant.
“D“mn it!” He threw another punch at the mirror.
In a desperate bid to escape, Mabel ignored her impaired mobility. The elevator descended with a ding, its doors opening to reveal the basement level
She didn’t return to the club. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she hurried out of the building, despite the difficulties in walking.
“Northbury Residences, please,” she said, hailing a taxi. An expense she would usually hesitate to incur, but today, she paid the fare without a second thought
