I let Connor kiss me frantically. I even impatiently tore open my nightgown.


    Connor was stunned. Then he looked at me with a wicked smile.


    Connor no longer restrained himself and pushed me into the sofa. He pressed my hands with his own and treated me the way I


    liked.


    At this moment, the door suddenly opened from the outside, and Ethan Stone rushed into the living room. He saw the two


    entangled figures in the living room.


    At the same time, my shrill and desperate cries rang out in the living room, "No! Don''t touch me! Let me go!"


    (Connor''s POV)


    I was caught up in the moment and didn''t hear the door open, so naturally I didn''t


    know that Ethan hade in. Victoria''s


    sudden struggle, resistance, and cries didn''t make me suspicious.


    I only thought she was too into the act. So I cooperated with her role-ying, assuming the posture of an abuser, suppressing


    Victoria.


    I pretended to be rough and sneered, "Scream! Scream louder! The louder you


    scream, the more excited I get! Now that you''ve


    fallen into my hands, let''s see who can save you!"


    I was too absorbed in my performance, I didn''t notice the triumphant smile that shed across the corner of Victoria''s mouth.


    Until Victoria cried out in my arms, "Ethan, save me!"


    I was stunned when I heard the name "Ethan." My first reaction was that I had misheard.


    But the next second, I felt a strong force grip the back of my neck and yank me up. The other party was very strong.


    I, who was nearly six feet tall, was easily pulled up by the other party. Before I could react to the sudden situation, I was kicked


    hard in the chest.


    The kick was extremely powerful, sending me staggering back several steps. I lost my bnce and fell to the ground.


    My back and the back of my head hit the ground hard, and a sharp pain shot through me.


    Just as I was about to get up, the security guards who had followed Ethan in stepped on my chest, pinning me down. It was only


    then that I saw clearly who had arrived: it was Ethan Stone.


    I wondered how Ethan could have appeared here so coincidentally. Then I saw Victoria, disheveled on the sofa, suddenly throw


    herself into Ethan''s arms and cry, "Ethan, it''s a good thing you arrived in time. Waaah... I was almost raped by him."


    (Ethan''s POV)


    My face was terrifyingly gloomy. Anger surged in my eyes.


    I quickly took off my overcoat and draped it over Victoria. I turned to look at Connor, my eyes like those of a dead man.


    +30 Bonus


    Not long ago, Victoria had called me. On the phone, she had said fearfully, "Ethan, I keep feeling like someone is following me. Can youe and stay with me? I''m really scared."


    Her voice was filled with terror. Seven years ago, Victoria had been attacked, and she was particrly sensitive about this.


    I, worried about what might happen, had told the security guards responsible for Victoria''s safety to go to Rosewood Haven


    immediately to protect her. I had also driven over myself.


    Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered, I saw Victoria being held down on the sofa


    and assaulted. And the person trying to vite her


    was actually Connor ckthorn, the culprit who had tampered with Olivia''s brakes and caused her car ident and fall into the


    river.


    (Connor''s POV)


    Lying on the ground, I heard Victoria use me of trying to rape her, and I felt as if I had been struck by lightning. I btedly realized that everything had been nned.


    Ethan''s appearance was no coincidence. The words Victoria had just said to me were not true either.


    She had never intended to leave with me and Emma. Not only that, but she also wanted to use Ethan''s hand to deal with me.


    The moment this thought crossed my mind, my heart felt as if it had been stabbed, bleeding profusely. I was both heartbroken


    and sad.
