Chapter 467 Insult

Devon didn't know what was wrong with him. He genuinely despised Corona, a woman who had no qualms about hopping into men's beds. But for some reason, the thought of her not only getting into his bed, but also Wilton's, made his heart feel as if it was being scratched by a cat's claw and pricked by a needle.

Even this time, forcing her to stay here was also to prevent her from recklessly climbing into Wilton's bed.

Corona's clenched fist slowly opened, she really wanted to slap him hard, to smash his unreasonable face.

Considering that her uncle's life was still in his hands, in the end, she didn't slap him in the face.

She just laughed coldly and said, "Mr. Burke, is this your idea of inviting Linda to watch you force yourself on me?"

Hearing Linda's name, Devon jolted awake.

For a moment, he was so focused on punishing this ungrateful woman that he almost forgot Linda was still in this villa, in a room upstairs.

Feeling the force that Devon exerted on her lessen significantly, Corona exerted strength in her hands, quickly broke free from his embrace, and hurriedly walked upstairs.

Devon squinted dangerously, his hawk-like eyes cruel and piercing.

Yes, he would act so out of character, not because he cared about the culprit who ruined Linda, but because he didn't want his best brother to be deceived!

Yes, it must have been like this!

It could only be this way!

Corona knew Linda's room, she went straight upstairs to her room.

The door of the room was wide open, evidently, Linda had just come in from outside.

She saw Corona, that delicate face with exquisite makeup, and instantly hated her to the point of distortion.

"Corona, I brought you here to work for me, not to seduce my man! I warn you, if you dare to shamelessly seduce Devon again, I promise, you will never see your dying uncle again in this lifetime!"

"Linda, I really have no interest in seducing your man! I just hope you can keep an eye on him in the future, don't let him lay a hand on me again!" Corona lifted her face, calm and composed, yet exuding an untouchable nobility, "I find it disgusting!"

"Corona, you!"

Linda was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. She really hadn't expected that Corona, the man she loved so dearly, would dare to speak to her like this!

Linda didn't speak again, she squinted her resentful eyes, scrutinizing Corona without blinking. Didn't she used to love Devon wholeheartedly? How could she bear to speak ill of him now?

Could it be, she really fell in love with Mr. Norton?

Linda silently breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but the moment she thought of the scene she had just witnessed at the stairway, her heart instantly tightened, unable to find any comfort.

Even if Corona had fallen in love with someone else, she would never let her go!

Because as long as she was alive, she would always be a ticking time bomb buried between her and Devon!

She had to defuse this bomb with her own hands!

Linda stopped talking, and Corona couldn't be bothered to waste her breath on her either. After all, according to Devon, as long as she endured for half a month, he would let her uncle go.

She had endured so many hard days, half a month more wouldn't matter to her!

It was noon, the servant had already brought lunch for Linda. She picked up the delicate porcelain spoon, elegantly sipping the tomato soup in front of her.

Six dishes and two soups, each more exquisite than the last, filled the room with the aroma of food everywhere.

Corona hadn't eaten lunch, and smelling the aroma of the food, she also felt a bit hungry.

However, seeing Linda savoring the bone soup that had been stewed for several hours like a venomous snake, she instantly lost her appetite.

Seeing Linda, even nausea was fed up with nausea, it really saved a lot of food.

Corona turned her face towards the window, figuring that even zoning out was far better than being disgusted by Linda.

But Linda clearly wanted to annoy Corona a bit, she slowly put the spoon back on the table, "Corona, are you hungry?"

Corona didn't immediately respond, she just coolly sized up Linda. She didn't believe that she would be so kind as to invite her to eat together. She wanted to see what tricks she was planning to play.

"Corona, I knew you were disgusting."

Unable to get a response from Corona, Linda was not annoyed. She looked at her with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. Suddenly, she exerted force with her hand, and a full bowl of tomato soup was smashed onto the ground.

"Eat up! Finish this big bowl of tomato soup and you'll be full!"

Corona's eyes turned cold. Clearly, Linda's intention was for her to clean up the soup and ribs that were scattered all over the ground!

"Linda, don't go too far!"

"Overboard? I don't think what I did was overboard at all?" Linda looked innocent, but her overly glamorous face was not suitable for playing innocent. It looked awkward no matter how you looked at it.

"Corona, you're the one who's overdoing it, aren't you? You're really unfilial! Are you so eager for your uncle to die? If you don't drink this soup, if you don't eat this meat on the ground, I will be unhappy. If I'm unhappy, Devon will be unhappy. If he's unhappy, your uncle can ascend to heaven!"

"Linda, I forbade you to harm my uncle!"

"Corona, when did I ever say I wanted to harm your uncle? I was just kindly inviting you to have a meal! If you just eat obediently, wouldn't it be good for you, good for me, and good for everyone?"

Corona didn't want to eat the food on the ground.

People always say that life is but a breath, and everyone has their dignity. Who, as a living, breathing human being, would be willing to grovel on the ground like a dog, licking up scattered food?

Could...

Thinking of her uncle, who was only forty but already had a head full of white hair, and her aunt, who risked her life to save her, Corona finally bowed her head.

It's okay, as long as uncle was fine.

"Kneel down!" Linda commanded coldly.

This time, Corona didn't even bother to argue with her. She had hit her weak spot, and now, she had no choice but to obey obediently.

Seeing Corona obediently kneeling on the ground, Linda couldn't help but laugh out loud in triumph.

Thinking of something, she suddenly stepped on the bone soup on the ground. Immediately after, she lifted her foot and presented it in front of Corona.

"What a coincidence, I also got tomato soup on the bottom of my shoe, Corona. How about you lick the tomato soup off it first! Isn't it all about saving resources now? On my shoe, every drop of tomato soup, you can't waste any of it!"

The more Linda laughed, the more malicious her face became. Last time at Lust Club, if it hadn't been for Wilton's intervention, Corona would have been licking the trash off her shoes. This time, she wanted to see who else could help her!

Corona's expression faltered, she knew Linda was particularly nasty, but she still hadn't expected that she would ask her to lick the soup off the bottom of her shoes.

A wave of nausea swept over him, Corona retched a few times, almost throwing up.

Seeing her in such distress, the twisted pleasure in Linda's heart only intensified, "What, want to waste? If you waste this bowl of tomato soup, then your uncle's life will also be wasted in your hands!"
