As soon as Edward finished speaking, he wiped his mouth with the napkin before threw it out randomly. He paused at the door and demanded in a cold voice, “Hailey, you will come home with me.”

"Yes," Hailey replied as she walked out of the restroom unwillingly. Then she followed Edward and left the hotel without uttering more words.

She did not realize something was strange until she followed him and entered the car.

Hailey, are being stupid? He must be suspecting you. That’s why he asked you to come home with him! she groaned in her heart.

However, there was nothing she could do because the door of the car had already be locked with a sound of bang.

The driver drove them home and they arrived before long.

Edward was the first to get off. After that, Hailey reluctantly left the car too. “Edward, is there anything urgent you would discuss with me? Actually, you could have left me there. I can arrange for myself to spend the day,” she said to him.

The man stayed silent. He just ignored her question and walked into the house with a cold look. After he stepped inside, he discovered that Hailey was not following him. So he shouted out loud, “Hailey, come inside!”

"Yes, Edward. What can I do for you?” Hailey forced out a fake smile on her face before she trembled and went side the villa.

"Come over here.” His voice was always chilling.

Hailey secretly took a glimpse at him and saw there seemed to be anger on his face. He was staring at her with unhappy eyes.

What does he want to do? Did he figure out that it was me who set a trap for Aunt Lucy? Will he punish me? Hailey pondered anxiously.

Seeing the girl was reluctant to make a response to him, Edward squinted his beautiful eyes. The he stretched out his long arm and pulled Hailey in front of him.

"Hey, Edward. What do you want?" Hailey screamed in a sharp tone. He grasped her in a rude way, which caused pain on her arm.

"Come over here!" He dragged her into his bedroom directly despite Hailey's struggle.

Bang!

The door was locked from inside.

Hailey felt the danger from Edward. She held her breath and dared not to utter a single word anymore.

The Zhang Family was a rich and prominent family known to the whole city. What happened to Lucy in the hotel was unacceptable. Once the scandal was spread out, Lucy would bring shame to the Zhang Family, which could consequently bring a crisis to the Stellar Entertainment Group- Edward's company.

Hailey decided to ignore the pain from her arm. She let out a flattering smile and said, "Edward, you can rest assured. I will not tell anyone about what happened today! I will not tell Uncle Alex either! And I'm sure those stakeholders will do the same thing. You don't need to worry too much!"

However, Edward did not respond to her despite that she begged him poorly.

Hailey thought that he probably did not believe her. So she immediately raised one of her palms and swore, "I swear to you! If I tell anyone about it, I will be cursed and my family will die miserably!"

That was really a solemn vow.

I am an orphan, anyway. I don't have any family, Hailey thought. That was exactly the reason why she said those words.

Showered by the warm light, Edward's face was sullen, obviously. He was emitting a dangerous aura.

Hailey was too scared to look at him into his eyes. She yielded and lowered her eyes to avoid eye contact with him.

"Raise you head and look at me." Edward, on the other hand, pinched her chin agrressively and forced her to look at him.

Upon hearing this, Hailey opened her eyes wide to look at him obediently.

The smile on her face was not a happy one. Staring at her beautiful eyes, Edward could almost see through him.

However, he was very unhappy deep inside.

He pinched her chin with more strength. Hailey furrowed her eyebrows a bit due to the pain.

He did not speak anymore but merely looked at her, trying to make her confess everything.

Hailey had another plan to deal with this situation. She immediately fiddled her bang to have her hair cover her eyes.

That way, she would not have to look at his face. Would he let her go?

As expected, Edward let go of her. He seemed to have calmed down gradually.

The, he lit a cigarette and took a deep breath before he blew a smoke on Hailey's face. Hailey had no idea whether he did it deliberately or not.

Hailey appreciated handsome faces. She was especially obsessed with a man when he was charming and sexy.

Edward sat down on the sofa and flicked the cigarette. "You agreed to have a date with Terry. Do you want to get married?" he asked, his voice sexy.

"… I just did not know how to refuse Aunt Lucy! I was afraid that she would think me to be too arrogant. I am not a true member of the Zhang Family, after all. I don't want her to dislike me," Hailey replied with a wrong facial expression.

The anger and unhappiness in the man's eyes finally faded away completely.

"Come over here," he said again. His voice was not as cold as before.

Hailey approached him anxiously and said again, "Edward, I have no idea that Aunt Lucy would be so malicious to drug Terry and make him sleep with me. But I was lucky because that did not happen to me, wasn't I? I wasn't hurt today, anyway. So I can forgive her and pretend that she will still be the kind-hearted aunt. You can rest assured!"

Hailey's words reminded Edward of the picture where Lucy was covered by Terry's naked body.

What if it were Hailey?

Another storm formed in his deep eyes. His face grew extremely dark now as if he would kill anymore who did this to Hailey.

Hailey had no clue what he was thinking about. All she noticed was that Edward became ferocious again. She could not help stepping backwards unconsciously.

"Come over here. Didn't you hear me?" The way he spoke was very unhappy.

Seeing his horrible face, Hailey took a deep breath. She chose to believe that Edward was being so angry because he was too worried about her, and that he did not mean to hurt her.

She decided not to blame him for being so rude to her. This kind of thing happened many times in the past life and Hailey always blamed him. That was why she thought Edward disliked her very much.

She would never make such a mistake anymore in this life.

"You can't just blame me for the whole thing, can you? Aunt Lucy harbored the evil intention which got herself in such a big trouble. I have nothing to do with this," Hailey insisted, hoping that she would be lucky enough to escape Edward's rage.

"Come over here, I said." Edward's face grew darker, though.

Seeing Hailey remained still, he had already lost all his patient. He directly reached out and held Hailey's cold hand.

He pulled her closer to him forcefully and Hailey was consequently fell onto the sofa. She was too shocked to resist him until she felt a sense of electric shock when Edward held her hand. That was also the time when Edward began to take her clothes off.

"What are you doing, Edward?" Hailey screamed as she bounced out from the sofa. However, Edward pressed her back to the sofa again.

The man's lips pressed into a hard line as he continued to take her coat off expressionlessly.

The temperature of his palm war high. When it touched Hailey's skin, Hailey felt her face burning like fire.

Meanwhile, she noticed that there seemed to be a fire burning in his eyes as well. Being afraid, she stammered, "Edward, didn't you smell something? I've hiding a lot of chilli powder in my clothes."

Even Hailey herself felt like sneezing thanks to the chill power. " Ah-choo! Ah-choo!"

That was her little trick. In order to make Terry dislike her, she had put a lot of chill power in her clothes.

But Edward seemed to be unable to smell anything unusual. He just continued with his work of taking her clothes off.

"No, Edward! What do you want on earth?" Seeing his hands digging into her sweater, Hailey opened her eyes wide in surprise. She was genuinely feeling scared now.

Did Edward want to make love with her? Was he going to force her?

"I'm going to redress your wound! What do you thing I would do otherwise?" he suddenly said.

"What?" Hailey was totally at a lost. She stared at him, dumbfounded.

"Don't feeling yourself way too much. I just consider you as my younger sister."

Edward sat up straight a bit as he pulled her straight as well. Both of the two sat on the sofa now.

Hailey lowered her eyes and took a look at her body.

She had already grown up to be an adult woman with a plump figure. How could he just think of her as a younger sister? There was no blood relationship between them at all! She did not want to be his sister!

"Don't talk nonsense! There is no kinship between us at all," she retorted back in a low voice. At the same time, she couldn't help but remember the time when she saw him naked. He had tanned skins, the six strong pack, and the sexy firm abs…

All of a sudden, her face blushed and her heart beat fast.

Edward suddenly grasped her arm. Hailey shuddered a bit as if she got an electronic shock. "Edward, I…"

"Your arm is bleeding again," he simply said.

Hailey followed his eyes and saw that the scratches which was caused by Mark tore open again. Blood was oozing from the wounds and stained her white sweater. She could even smell the blood.

"Uhh, you just wanted to dress the wounds?" There was awkwardness on her face.

"Sure. Or what else?" He took the medical kit from under the table before he cut off the sleeve of her sweater using the scissors.

He treated her wounds carefully as he sterilized, cleaned, and applied the medicine on those wounds

That was a very ordinary action. But he did it elegantly. Hailey just couldn't move her eyes away from him.
