Gaven deliberately moved closer to Iliana, the alcohol on his breath making her feel extremely nauseous.
At this moment, Iliana had no time for anything else, a hint of fear appearing deep in her eyes. Her fingertips pressed the dial button.
In the next instant, Gaven snatched her phone away.
“Are you thinking of calling the police?” Gaven’s smile was unsettling.
He hung up and threw the phone forcefully, it landed in a glass of wine, spilling liquid across the table.
“Since you’re here, don’t think about leaving.”
His hand began to touch Iliana’s face, the gesture suggestive and lecherous.
Iliana’s face turned pale, she tried to back away but was grabbed by Gaven.
“You really don’t need to refuse me. Since Bryson agreed to let you come here to discuss business with me, it means he knows you’ll have to sleep with me.”
Gaven’s words made Iliana’s body tense.
A chill spread through her eyes, and she bit her lip slightly.
She knew Bryson had expected all this by sending her, but it didn’t mean she would endure it passively.

Thana’s gaze cooled, she gave Gaven a faint smile, then suddenly lifted her knee, hitting his groin
The next second, a scream filled the private room
Thana’s delicate brows furrowed as she struggled to stay calm. “Mr. Sutton, I don’t want to discuss collaboration with you today. Perhaps we can find another time.”
“Damn it.”
Gaven cursed, enduring the intense pain as he crawled up from the floor
Suddenly, be grabbed Iliana’s hair, pulling her head back.
Then he slapped her face twice, the sound loud and clear.
Blood filled Iliana’s mouth instantly, the ringing in her ears drowning out the noisy music in the room
Her cheeks swelled up.
Gaven enjoyed Iliana’s pained expression, his voice dark.
“I was nice to you because you’re pretty, not because I tolerate your bossing me around.”
Compared to his attitude towards other women, he thought he had shown Iliana enough “patience.”
“Gaven, if I don’t check in with my friend in ten minutes, she’ll call the police for me.” Iliana said coldly.
“Ten minutes?” Gaven’s hand was on his belt, showing yellow teeth in a lewd smile. “That’s enough”

Iliana’s heart sank.
Watching him slowly undo his belt, Iliana frowned, her heart raced, and she backed away step by step.
But she was held by two other women in the room and pinned to the table.
“Click.”
The sound of the belt buckle hitting the floor.
Iliana looked at Gaven approaching in despair, step by step, tears falling from her eyes.
She knew that no one could save her anymore.
“Bang.”
Just then, the private room door was forcefully kicked open, crashing inward.
The two holding her instantly let go.
Iliana looked over, a man with broad shoulders and a narrow waist stood in the doorway, his face filled with cold anger against the light.
Her heart fluttered.
She was saved.
Suddenly, she was pulled into Maurice’s embrace.
“Don’t be afraid.”
When Maurice’s voice was heard, Iliana’s heart skipped a beat.

Iliana had wanted to leave Maurice’s embrace, but he held her head,
not allowing her to move.
“Don’t look.”
Before Iliana could react, she felt Maurice lift his leg and kick out.
After being kicked away, Gaven was about to curse, but when he focused his eyes, he saw it was Maurice.
His lips began to tremble.
“Mr. Andrade…”
In all of Whiteville, Gaven feared only Maurice.
A year ago, before the injury on his head had healed, Maurice had come to his door and beaten him severely.
Following that, Maurice had taken away two major projects from the Sutton Group.
“Gaven, Whiteville has no place for you anymore,” Maurice said, looking at Gaven kneeling before him with a fierce glint in his eyes. “Will you leave on your own, or shall I have someone break your legs before you go?”
“I… I didn’t… It’s not what you think, Mr. Andrade… I can explain everything.”
Gaven noticed that Maurice was tightly protecting Iliana.
Both of his encounters with Maurice seemed to involve Iliana.
Could it be…

Gaven felt like he had eaten poison, his face turning deathly pale.
Maurice held Iliana close, sensing she was still scared, his voice cold. “Your illegal evidence has been sent to the police station, and I will personally follow up on it.”
The Sutton Group often cleaned up Gaven’s messes, allowing him to escape legal punishment each time.
This time, with Maurice personally overseeing it, Gaven could no longer count on luck.
Maurice held Iliana and left the room, ignoring Gaven’s screams.
After leaving the Glam Club, Maurice ushered Iliana into the car.
He glanced at the redness and swelling on her face and her disheveled hair, a hint of anger in his eyes.
But Maurice didn’t speak; instead, he silently got into the car and took Iliana to the hospital.
Iliana came back to her senses from the fear, looking at the hospital, the smile at the corner of her mouth tasting bitter.
It was already the third time Maurice had accompanied her to the hospital.
“Thank you, Mr. Andrade, for saving me. I can see the doctor myself; you don’t need to trouble yourself by accompanying me inside.”
Iliana didn’t want to bother Maurice, but her hand was firmly grasped by him.
Maurice held her wrist tightly and took her for a check–up.

Throughout the process, Maurice remained silent.
Gradually, Iliana noticed that Maurice was angry.
What was the reason for his anger?
Iliana was confused.
Luckily, the injury was not serious.
Besides the redness on her face, there was also a small injury from her scalp being torn.
The doctor prescribed medication and instructed, “The minor tear on your scalp is not severe. Disinfect it every night before bed, and it will heal with proper care.”
After leaving the hospital, Maurice drove Iliana home.
They exited the car together and walked upstairs together, resembling a couple coming home.
Standing in front of her room, Iliana said, “Mr. Andrade, my phone is broken. I’ll buy a new one tomorrow and transfer today’s payment to you.”
“Do I appear to need that little bit of money?”
Maurice’s voice was a bit cold.
Seeing him finally speak, Iliana felt more at ease.
His silence had been making her somewhat anxious.
She said, “Thank you, Mr. Andrade. If you need my help in the future, please feel free to let me know.”

Maurice glanced at her impassively. “Open the door.”
Iliana instinctively opened her door.
Maurice walked in casually as if he were entering his own home.
He turned his head and, seeing Iliana still standing there, prompted, “Come in, I’ll apply the liquid medicine for you.”
