Chapter 224 So Tender!
“No, Mr. Patterson, I’m genuinely unwell and not used to this. I’m in pain all over. This is my first time, and I’m really scared.”
Claire was still trying to buy time, but she was running out of
excuses.
Vincent’s sudden outburst had her on edge.
“Bitch, you’ve told me this so many times tonight. Can’t I see you’re stalling? Who are you waiting for to save you?”
Vincent was convinced Claire was waiting for someone to rescue
her.
“Mr. Patterson, I swear I’m not. My phone is in your hands. Who could I possibly contact? Besides, how could I have arranged this beforehand? I came here to sign a contract with you, to get you to agree to join the Flores Group. Under these circumstances, how could I possibly do something to offend you… I…”
To convince Vincent, Claire was desperately explaining herself.
“Is that so? Your explanations are just a cover for your lies. You say no, right? Fine, let me have my way with you first, and I’ll believe you!”
Vincent believed that only by genuinely taking Claire could he

trust her words. Otherwise, all her explanations were just stalling.
“No! Don’t, Mr. Patterson…”
Claire continued to plead desperately.
She had regained about half of her strength. She really just needed a little more time to deal with Vincent.

But she knew Vincent had lost all patience. She couldn’t stall any longer.
Yet, if she didn’t land a decisive blow, it would surely raise Vincent’s guard. If he tied her up and did anything to her, even if she fully regained her strength, she wouldn’t be able to deal with
Vincent.
Thinking this, Claire felt her heart race wildly.
She took a deep breath, trying to ignore Vincent’s actions, and kept comforting herself in her heart, “Claire, you must not panic at this moment. You have to stay calm to think of a better plan. Otherwise, you’re really going to be ruined by this man tonight.”
But how could it be easy to stay calm?
As the sound of her clothes being torn filled the air, Claire
shuddered.
She tried her best not to panic, but her mind went blank in an instant.

“You are indeed the pampered primenen of the Vest family Such tender skin!”

Vincent’s eyes gleamed, and his month wdered & the sight of Claire’s delicate skin.
The moment Vincent’s filthy hands touched her, Okáve could no longer resist the urge to punch him.
Although she was well aware of the cmequemen of taut punch, she really couldn’t hold back.
Just as she clenched her fist to raise it, there was a sudden bang The wall behind Vincent exploded,
The wall collapsed in an instant, and Vincent was knocked out by a flying brick, falling onto Claire.
Fortunately, Vincent took the brunt, and Claire remained unharmed.
After Vincent was knocked out, Claire crawled out from under
him.
She stared at the hole blown in the wall, stunned.
Why would a perfect wall explode like that?
As she was lost in thought, several men in black burst through the hole in the wall.

Following the men in black was a man in white. Even amidst

such an explosion, he remained spotless, not a hair out of place, casually holding a handkerchief to his mouth, his demeanor composed.
“Mr. Gonzales, are you sure about this? The commotion is quite significant,” one of the men in black approached the man in the white suit, asking.
“This is how we deal with Frederick. He’s already sent people to investigate here. We’ll leave like this. Also, take all the people in this room with us.
“I want to see how Frederick, who’s in charge of the Kingstown Security Department, a general, and now running for president, will handle our explosion and hostages.”
The man smiled, looking at Claire. “Capture her too!”
As terrorists, they moved with incredible speed. Before Claire could react, she was knocked out and taken away.
Meanwhile, Frederick received the news almost immediately.
“General Hawthorne! There’s been an explosion at the Bright Night Hotel. It’s likely the same group we’ve been looking for, the ones who caused explosions in the suburbs. And…”
Richard stopped mid–sentence when he saw Claire’s figure in the surveillance, his words cut off.
“Go on!” Frederick commanded, frowning.

“Ms. Prescott seems to be at the Bright Night Hotel as well.”
