The last word caused the man's gaze to instantly turn cold and sinister.
Like a storm approaching, a heavy, oppressive aura emanated from his body.
Daisy Ginger shivered all over, gritting her teeth and struggling to push him away. He grabbed her arm with one hand, pressing her firmly into his embrace, leaving her no way to escape his hold.
She was furious, opening her mouth and biting his arm with all her strength, exerting every ounce of power in her body.
The man remained motionless, letting her bite him until she collapsed from exhaustion. Only then did he wrap his arm around her waist, looking down at her lifeless, pale eyes. "Calmed down?"
"Edward Stephens, how can you treat me like this..." Her lips quivered slightly, her tone carrying a hint of resentment, "How can you treat me like this..."
He had completely destroyed the last bit of trust she had in him.
