?Chapter 906:


    Upon reaching the vi, Sean led the way inside. Immediately, Frank called the household staff, including a housekeeper and a cook. Both of them stated that they hadn’t heard any strange noises at night.


    Marlene led Sean upstairs. “Sean,e to my room and listen. I can really hear it there.”


    Sean struggled to control his impatience. At that moment, he almost decided to leave. But when he looked into her eyes, he found himself following her without realizing it. He thought to himself that he should be kind to her, considering he was the one who had approached her first.


    The two were alone in the dimly lit second-floor corridor. Heat flushed Marlene’s face, making her feel as if her brain were melting. Sean’s tall stature almostpletely overshadowed her.


    Suddenly, Marlene turned and embraced Sean tightly.


    “Sean, the moment you saved me, I fell in love with you. I really like you.”


    She clung to him, her scent filling the air around them. “I want to be with you forever. I’m willing to do anything just to be by your side.”


    As she spoke, she began to unzip her dress with her other hand, hoping to impress Sean with her figure.


    Sean looked down and noticed her anxious, timid look, a look simr to Norah’s, but with an expression Norah would never have shown.


    He quickly grasped the hand that was unzipping her dress.

    “Marlene, you crossed the line.”


    Sean’s voice was cold and merciless. He remained unmoved by the situation unfolding before him. Marlene slowly lifted her gaze and met his detached stare. A wave of despair washed over her.


    “You should enjoy your life with the money I give you, and not y any tricks.”


    He shook her hand off and watched as she stumbled.


    “If not, I can take back everything I’ve given you at any time.” He turned away and walked downstairs, not even ncing at Marlene. His back seemed to radiate ruthlessness.


    Marlene gently leaned against the wall, sliding down to sit on the floor. She wrapped her arms around her knees and cried. It was the first time she had made the first move, but she had received a ruthless rejection. Her heart felt shattered.


    Sean was dismissive of Marlene’s actions, treating her affectionately when pleased and sternly when upset, much like one would treat a pet kitten.


    Meanwhile, Susanna stumbled upon some entertainment news that unsettled her—a photograph of Sean and Marlene. It left her feeling queasy.


    Next to her, Joanna nced at the same news piece, her expression turning grim.
