Chapter 747 Do Me A Favor
On the second floor, Evangeline was rubbing her tailbone, which was nearly broken from the fall. She looked up in terror at the man who towered over her.
That body, robust like Schwarzenegger's, was like a moving mountain.
When he turned over, she could see nothing else but the solid muscles on his body, each protruding piece fitting into the next, taut to the point of being startling. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“What did you just hear?” Roderick stared intently at Evangeline. From the tension in her eyes, it was clear that she had heard quite a bit.
Raising her right hand, she steeled herself and swore, “I-I didn't hear anything... Really... I promise- No, I swear. I just happened to be passing by. I swear I'll die a horrible death if I lie!”
She didn't know who this rugged, wild man before her was. But anyone who could gain entry to an event like today's was undoubtedly either wealthy or noble.
At first glance, he may be dressed casually—almost like a rogue—but her discerning eyes could easily tell that every piece of clothing he wore was of considerable value.
This man must hold a high status. He isn't someone whom a commoner like me could afford to offend.
I must deal with him with care and caution.
Otherwise, he can easily crush me as if I were nothing more than an ant.
Evangeline bravely locked eyes with Roderick, her expression pitiful.
She knew her greatest strength was playing the part of the delicate and obedient girl. She was adept at leveraging her assets, and during her time at the company, she had used this tactic to win over many men, making them willingly revolve around her.
The man before her was a stranger. Yet inexplicably, she felt a sense of familiarity.
And, of course, she could clearly see the malice and lascivious intention in his eyes.
Overwhelmed by fear and helplessness, an instinctual urge to flee surged within her. Yet, it felt as if she was glued to the floor by some omnipotent adhesive. Under his oppressive presence, she couldn't even muster the courage to stand.
A cunning man like Roderick—who had navigated through a myriad of experiences and deeply understands human psychology—would surely know that she must have heard something. It was impossible for him to let her off so easily.
He picked up Evangeline from the ground as if he was holding a little chick.
Her slender body trembled quietly under his iron grip. She struggled fiercely, trying to wriggle out from the crook of his arm and escape.
But in the next moment, Roderick grabbed her hair. She felt as if her scalp were nearly torn apart.
The pain was so intense that it brought tears to her eyes. “I-I really didn't see anything, nor did I hear anything... Please, sir, I beg you to let me go...”
He forcefully tugged at her hair, forcing her to face him. “What's your name?”
“E-Evangeline...”
Although Evangeline wasn't particularly beautiful, her jet-black eyes were filled with tears at this moment. She was half-biting her red lips helplessly due to fear, and her body was fluctuating due to nervousness, which gave off a unique feeling.
Roderick's lustful desire rose. A playful urge surged within him, and without a second thought, he bit down hard on her lips.
“No, don't...” Evangeline couldn't help but cry out in pain.
The voice—seemingly pained yet coquettish—only served to entice Roderick more, leading him to start tearing at her gown.
Evangeline's struggle and resistance were not weak. However, in front of Roderick, it was undoubtedly like attempting the impossible.
In her desperation, she blurted out in panic, “Let me go, I-I'm Wilson's woman! If you dare to harm me, Wilson will never let you off...”
“Oh? You're my second older brother, Wilson's woman? Why have I never heard him mention you before?” Roderick slightly paused his inappropriate behavior.
Is Wilson this man's second older brother?
C-Could it be that he is the notorious Mr. Roderick, who even Old Mr. Fuller finds troublesome due to his unrestrained and unconventional behavior?
She looked at him in quiet astonishment, her eyes sparkling. “Yes, I am Wilson's girlfriend. We've been together for quite some time now. He said he'll take me to the Fuller residence soon. If you don't believe me, you can ask him for confirmation.”
Roderick fixed his lecherous gaze on her quietly twinkling eyes, effortlessly discerning her lies.
He sneered menacingly, “So what if you're his woman? Do you really think our family would let a woman like you step through our doors? You're nothing more than a cheap plaything, and you dare to dream of him bringing you into our family? Today, I'll teach you a lesson about the rules of the Fuller family!”
He pressed Evangeline against the wall. His hands, rough with calluses, skillfully found their way into her clothes.
As an experienced womanizer, his superb skills quickly made her pant in a delicate and charming manner.
She collapsed softly into his arms like a puddle of water.
She was not an innocent and inexperienced girl. In fact, before she met Wilson, she loved to have fun and frequently changed boyfriends, leading a rather exciting personal life.
After meeting Wilson, she aspired to join the ranks of the wealthy. Fearing that he might uncover her unsavory past, she severed all ties with her previous life, forcing herself to become a reserved and dignified girl.
Heaven knows how these past two years of a painfully conservative lifestyle have nearly driven her insane.
At this moment, Roderick's actions stirred the deepest feelings within her. Unconsciously, her legs wrapped around his waist. She bent her body, yearning for more from him.
Roderick looked disdainfully at her. In her passionate eyes, he saw her greed.
In an instant, he felt a wave of boredom. He discarded Evangeline like tossing out the trash and spat out two words of contempt. “How cheap!”
His words were like a bucket of cold water, completely extinguishing the burning passion in her heart.
She turned away in embarrassment, not wanting to see his contemptuous gaze. She felt utterly humiliated and silently berated herself. Why couldn't I hold back just now?
With a wicked smirk, he blurted something unexpected to her, “Do you want to join the Fuller family?”
For a moment, she was stumped. “W-What?”
I'm already like this, having revealed my true self in front of him. Even if I wanted to join the Fuller family, this man would surely do everything in his power to stop me. But what did he mean by what he
just said?
Roderick suddenly licked his lips. He leaned in to whisper something in her ear, extending an offer to her. “Help me with something, and I'll fulfill your wish to enter the Fuller family!”
At the banquet hall, Evangeline looked at Avery, who was always holding onto Cayden's arm. Avery was exquisitely beautiful and elegant. Her attire was extremely luxurious, yet there was not a hint of vulgarity. She appeared youthful and vibrant, yet also composed and dignified.
Even if Avery was surrounded by a sea of distinguished and elegant ladies, one's gaze would still be drawn to her first.
Especially when seeing Cayden's affectionate demeanor toward Avery, Evangeline felt a sudden pang in her heart. Evangeline gritted her teeth and walked toward Avery to greet the latter...
