Seeing Owen’s strong reaction, Jessica’s face turned pale, but she still tried to maintain a calm demeanor.
She deliberately leaned closer, the snow–white chest touching him again and again, and the hair tips brushed with a faint fragrance.
“Owen, you said last time that this color suits me, so you specially asked Maya for it.”
“Actually, it doesn’t matter what I wear, what matters is that I can be by your side and help you fulfill your desires. I know you haven’t properly released your emotions in these past few days, so why not let me…”
With that, her hand ambiguously reached down, almost touching something.
She was confident that no man could resist her charm, but Owen surprised her by kicking her away with a cold look in his eyes.
“Get lost, you’re so dirty.”
“Even if you were wearing Maya’s clothes, you still wouldn’t compare to one thousandth of her.”
Jessica fell heavily to the ground, hitting her lower back on the corner of the table. She was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat, instinctively protecting her abdomen.
The days in the cold storage had almost caused her to miscarry. If there was another mishap, I’m afraid the child wouldn’t be able to survive.
Owen watched her movements, his anger growing stronger. “The child in your belly is the killer’s?”
As the cold gaze swept over her, Jessica’s back shivered, but she forced a smile.
“Owen, if you could forgive me, I could knock down…”
Before she could finish speaking, she heard Owen let out a cold laugh.
“I can also help you with that.”
As soon as the words fell, Jessica’s face changed suddenly, shaking her head repeatedly.
“No, don’t do this…”
She had been fighting with Owen for so many years, knowing his tactics very well. However, in the past, he only used these tactics on other people. If he were to use them on her now, she wouldn’t be able to handle it at all!
It was already too late. Owen clapped his hands and a group of bodyguards walked in from outside, restraining Jessi- ca on the ground.

Then, he instructed his assistant to buy ninety–nine bottles of strong liquor, piles of contraceptives, and a whip.
When these things were placed in front of Jessica, her face turned pale, her eyes filled with fear and panic.
She knelt in front of him, begging desperately.
“I was wrong, I was really wrong, please don’t treat me like this, I beg you.”
“Owen, based on our many years of relationship, can you spare my life? Without it, I really won’t survive…”
Owen sneered, “You know this will get you killed, so why did you treat Maya like that?”

“If you really know you were wrong, then experience the suffering that Maya went through as a way to make amends.”
His eyes were cold and hard, showing no hint of hesitation or pity.
Jessica was deeply stung by this look, seeing no way to salvage the situation. Suddenly, she let out a low laugh, a laugh mixed with broken sobs.
“Owen, did you go to see Maya and get rejected before you got so angry?”
Owen had a meal.
Seeing his reaction, Jessica laughed even louder.
“I knew it, Maya had already lost interest in you a long time ago. You couldn’t win her back.”
She lifted her face, her eyelashes trembling violently, and a piercing sarcasm surged in the depths of her eyes.
“For so many years, she followed behind you, but you never even glanced at her. Now that she has left, and you re- gret it, you want to force her to come back. What do you take her for? Why should she come back to you?“,
“Did it feel good to shout my name while sleeping with her? Was it exciting to imagine she was mine? Do you really think I was the one who drove Maya away? The real culprit is yourself! I did all of this and you turned a blind eye, but you allowed it all, completely hurting her heart!”
Watching the veins bulging on Owen’s forehead and the burning anger beneath his eyelashes almost piercing his pupils, Jessica’s fear diminished slightly.
Suddenly, there was another wave of sadness.
She suddenly realized that she had been fighting with Owen for so many years, specifically targeting each other’s weak spots.
But little did he know, his weakness had always been Maya.
The feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart, Jessica opened her mouth, but couldn’t say a word.
“Have you gone crazy?”
Owen looked down at her from above, the cold frost in his eyes almost solidifying into substance.

“Let’s get started.”
In the face of Jessica’s terrified gaze, Owen picked up the whip beside him and raised it high.
“Ninety–nine lashes, today I avenged for Maya.”
“Hold her down.”
“Owen, you crazy person-”
“Ah– Jessica’s remaining words were stuck in her throat, turning into a painful scream.”
The fabric tore with a sound, revealing a horrifying bloodstain on the fair skin.
Following that, the second lash, the third lash…
Jessica let out a series of piercing screams, but it did not soften Owen’s resolve.

After enduring ninety–nine lashes, her body was covered in bloodstains, with not a single piece of good flesh to be found.
He put down the whip, his eyes unable to hide the coldness.
“As long as you have the energy, she doesn’t care how you mess around. I want to see all these alcohol and contracep- tives used up by tomorrow.”
Watching the group of people approaching again, Jessica’s voice trembled: “Go away, don’t touch me! Owen, you can’t treat me like this!”
“Owen, you will get your comeuppance!”
Jessica almost powerless, hoarse, tears falling heavily, but those people didn’t even give her the right to speak, forcibly opening her mouth and feeding her medicine and strong alcohol.
“No… I didn’t eat…”
Jessica retched in waves, her lower body soaked in blood under intense stimulation.
Owen coldly watched everything that was happening, absentmindedly adjusting his cufflinks.
Before leaving, he gave one more instruction: “After it’s over, give her some obedient medicine, then find the most chaotic place and throw her in.”
As soon as he left the room, he received a call from the company.
“Mr. Keith, something bad happened at the company!”
