Though the boss didn’t say it, Harry North knew he meant to imprison Eva Nightingale once more. At that moment, looking at him incredibly angry, it seemed she wouldn’t be treated any better than on the island.

*

In the heart of the city, in the affluent district where every inch of land is precious, a uniquely European-styled living room stretched wide, with Eva Nightingale sitting on the sofa.

Today is the third day. She’s figured it out; she doesn’t intend to be with him. Today is the day he returns from his business trip to City B and also the day she might return to Eastern Europe.

He had promised her in advance, she thought, surely he wouldn’t go back on it.

"Crown Prince, you’ve returned." The maid’s voice interrupted Eva’s thoughts. She lifted her gaze, seeing a tall and slender figure in the doorway.

Even through the air, she felt his body exude a chill, like an ice block.

"Everyone get out," Lucas Knight said as he entered, reaching to unbutton his shirt. The top button was quickly undone, revealing a hint of his enticing bronzed skin.

"Yes, President, we’re going out now." The maid quickly withdrew, leaving the house abruptly empty.

He continued unbuttoning while moving closer to her on the sofa.

"You, what do you think you’re doing!" Watching him undress, it didn’t seem like a mere act of undressing...

The cold, icy look on his face resembled that of someone about to kill.

"What am I doing... mmph." Before she could finish her question, he furiously pressed up against her.

His domineering tongue pried open her lips, and Eva angrily blushed, biting him. He winced, retreating immediately, then bit down on her lower lip, punishingly applying pressure. She whimpered softly in pain, and he released her, taking advantage to thrust deep past her pearly teeth.

He stirred up a flurry of sparks, forcing her small tongue to tangle with his.

She gradually stopped struggling, her gaze turning dazed and blurred. Lucas Knight took the opportunity to embrace her barely overlapping waist, exerting a bit of force to pull her small body into his arms, his rough large hand roaming over her back, causing her whole body to shiver and tremble in a tingling ecstasy.

After finishing his business in City B, he first went to the Paradise Bay Residence to see Ivy and Liliah, then dialed the maid to ask about her condition. Instead, he heard, "Harry, you’re so handsome!!"

Her voice reached his eardrums, and he immediately slammed the phone down with a crack, cooled off for two seconds, then pretended as if nothing had happened, picked the phone back up, and called the Emperor Grand Group Secretary, instructing, "Notify Harry North to get to the villa in the wealthy district immediately."

After giving the command, he slammed the phone down again.

The driver getting ready to leave was startled, trembling, asking cautiously and respectfully, "Mr. President, are you feeling unwell?"

What was the point of getting angry for no reason?

However, the boss did not answer the question but instead responded directly, "Shut up. If you talk too much, get out and continue talking." Lucas Knight’s tone was undoubtedly harsh. Even the dumbest person could tell he was in a bad mood, so of course, the driver didn’t dare to provoke him.

Just obediently, tactfully shut his mouth, then seriously continued driving.

Eva Nightingale remained held tightly by a certain Dark Lord, unable to break loose, "Boss... you... let me go, I can’t breathe like this!" Is it really okay to hold her like this continuously?
