shiver.
He leaned against the back of the sofa without moving, “Why didn’t you continue?”
Dorothy took a deep breath.
At worst, just consider it as being bitten by a dog.
She touched the metal buckle of the belt, which had not been undone yet. Her wrist was grabbed by the man, causing her to fall forward unexpectedly. She wanted to speak out, but the man forcefully pried open her lips and kissed her.
“Um…”
As he delved deeper, Dorothy could never overcome the psychological barrier and started to resist him.
Dwayne pinned her hands and pressed her down, wrapping around her even tighter.
In desperation, Dorothy bit him hard until she tasted a hint of blood. The man released her, his face growing darker, all expressions instantly wiped away.
Dorothy froze.
Oh no…
“I… I wasn’t mentally prepared.”
The man grasped her chin in the palm of his hand, forcing her closer, “Is it so difficult to be like before?”

Dwayne froze for a moment.
The tiger’s paw was scalded a bit.
Dorothy looked at his always cold and handsome face, and blurted out subconsciously, “Do you love me?”
The man furrowed his brow as if at an inconsequential question, “Mrs. Lambert’s position could be yours, as long as you
obey.”
His evasion was expected.
Dorothy smiled knowingly.
Mrs. Lambert could be her, but the person he loved couldn’t be.
“Will you stop threatening me with Rogelio if I behave?”
“What do you
think?”
Having obtained the answer, she would no longer have any delusions.
Just disgusted myself for a while, at least also repaid the kindness of the Acosta family’s upbringing.
Dorothy continued to undress him.
The man pushed her hand away and said coldly, “Get out.”
He issued an order of expulsion.
Dorothy hesitated for a moment, then got up gracefully and walked to the door. She stopped, turned around, and said, “Please, Mr. Lambert, be generous and don’t argue with the Acosta family.”
Dwayne didn’t respond.
After Dorothy left, the cold light surging rapidly in his eyes was like a invisible sword that could kill without shedding blood, eerie and sinister.
When Margaret walked into the office, she immediately noticed the bloodstain on his lips and saw that his complexion was not good. She thought to herself, “It looks like this scumbag didn’t please anyone.”
“Mr. Lambert, how do you intend to handle Neveah publicly insulting Ms. Acosta?”
“Is there any need to ask me about this?”
Dwayne wiped the bloodstains off his lip with his finger, leaning back against the chair. “You &
with it yourself.”
Margaret nodded, “Understood.”
Margaret had someone in the group notify Neveah to go to the HR department to handle the resignation procedures. The moment Neveah saw the message, she rushed straight to Margaret’s office, insisting on getting a clear answer “Margaret. I don’t understand why you want to fire me!”

The staff outside all looked towards the office.
Margaret made a cup of instant coffee, sat back in her seat, “This is Mr. Lambert’s idea.”
Mr. Lambert…
Neveah’s body shook slightly, “How could this be, who exactly is she?”
