Jason Forrester suppressed the rage in his heart as he watched Rowan Monroe and Megan Kane strut away.
Just as he was about to turn and go back to his room, he caught something in his peripheral vision.
Megan Kane had her middle finger raised at him, and her lips seemed to be mouthing the word "trash."
"Good. Just perfect!"
Jason Forrester muttered to himself. If he really let Megan Kane get away with this, he might as well change his name to Jason Kane.
He slammed the door with a loud BANG and waited for his assistant to bring him his clothes.
The mall was bustling with people, a scene of vibrant activity.
"Megan, what do you think? Do I look pretty in this outfit?"
Rowan Monroe didn't even have a chance to react.
The sales associate was already scrambling to run outside.
Megan Kane was sitting on the sofa playing on her phone. Just as she was about to look up, a man's powerful build filled her vision, casting a shadow over her.
"Megan, run!"
Rowan Monroe had no idea what had set Jason Forrester off, but he had the entire clothing store completely blocked off.
She was pinned to the floor by two men in black suits.
But Rowan Monroe still screamed out a heart-wrenching warning.
'Seriously, stop shouting,' Megan Kane really wanted to say. 'Look how many people are blocking the door. How am I supposed to run? Am I just going to sprout wings and fly away?!'
"You threw my clothes downstairs, slapped me, spat on me, and cursed at me!"
"Megan Kane, you must think you've lived too long a life, that it's not exciting enough, is that it?"
A grim smile spread across Jason Forrester's face as his hands shot out and squeezed Megan Kane's neck.
Megan Kane's hands desperately pounded against his body. "Shameless!"
Even as her face turned crimson from the lack of air, she still managed to sputter out the curse.
Jason Forrester lowered his head and brutally crushed his lips against Megan Kane's.
Megan Kane viciously tried to bite down, but Jason Forrester forced her jaw open with his hands, making it impossible for her to close her mouth.
"MMPH, MMPH!"
The sounds escaping Megan Kane were more wretched than the squeal of a pig being slaughtered.
Jason Forrester kissed her until she was on the verge of collapse.
Only then did he release her. "I deleted my childhood sweetheart's contact. You're moving into the Forrester Family estate today!"
Megan Kane's eyes widened in disbelief. "I'm telling you, Jason Forrester, the Kane Family is not to be messed with! If you touch me again, my parents won't let you get away with it!"
Before Megan Kane could even finish her sentence, Jason Forrester pulled out his phone and played a video.
Mr. and Mrs. Kane were tied securely to chairs with thick ropes, their faces pleading for help as they made muffled sounds.
"Sister, save me!"
Harold Kane was crying his heart out, even though his mouth wasn't gagged.
But he was bound tightly with ropes and strung up by the doorway.
"The Kane Family... I really won't be sparing a single one of them!"
Jason Forrester, completely indifferent to Megan Kane's current attitude, simply turned off his phone screen.
Megan Kane was dumbstruck. 'When I read the book, I never realized Jason Forrester was a complete psycho!'
"President Forrester, I was wrong! I... I agree to you and Rowan Monroe being together!"
As if she had made a monumental decision, Megan Kane dropped to her knees with a THUD.
She looked at Rowan Monroe with eyes full of helplessness, as if to say, 'It's not that I won't help you. I just have no other choice.'
"No, no!"
Rowan Monroe was so scared she was shaking her head frantically, as if it might fall off.
She didn't dare scream anymore.
She even secretly tried to scooch backward an inch.
She really did not want this man.
'Otherwise, I'd be afraid of going to sleep at night and getting strangled for no reason, never waking up in the morning.'
Besides, she didn't want her own family to have their home invaded and be tied up with ropes.
Jason Forrester gave a faint, cold smile, then threw a contract on the floor.
He reached out and patted Megan Kane's cheek.
"Sign it!"
Megan Kane glanced at the bold words written on the contract: LIFELONG SLAVERY AGREEMENT.
She felt like she was losing her mind.
"Ja-Jason Forrester, I was wrong, okay!"
"Why don't you hit me back? Curse me back? Then we can call it even, how about that?"
This time, Megan Kane was truly cowed. It wasn't that she feared crazy people; she feared those whose madness had completely broken their minds.
"If you don't sign, I'll sell you to a bar!"
"The choice is yours. You have one minute."
"I even deleted my childhood sweetheart for you, you know."
Jason Forrester didn't care how Megan Kane had found out about his childhood sweetheart.
But he relished that defiance on her face, that refusal to submit.
He had a hundred ways to shatter every inch of pride in her bones!
"Rowan!"
Megan Kane shot a final, pleading glance at Rowan Monroe.
Without a second's hesitation, Rowan Monroe shut her eyes and passed out. 'Do not disturb.'
After seeing Jason Forrester's true colors today, it was no longer a question of whether she liked him or not.
From now on, she'd be taking the long way around to avoid him!
The lackey following behind Jason Forrester could only look at Megan Kane with pity.
He didn't know if this woman was a complete fool for daring to provoke a living Nether King like Jason Forrester.
He had connections in both the criminal underworld and legitimate society. A famous actress once tried to flirt with him, batting her eyes, and he had her legs broken for it.
And not a single ripple of negative press ever came out.
As for the old master of the Forrester Family, Jason Forrester had angered him so badly that he'd left the country.
In any case, no woman who stayed by Jason Forrester's side had ever lasted more than two years.
Let alone talk of carrying on the family line.
Jason Forrester produced a bone-scraping knife from somewhere and unhurriedly slipped the blade inside Megan Kane's clothes.
Megan Kane could feel the cold steel of the blade against her skin.
She didn't dare move a muscle. "I... I'll sign!"
Right now, she just wanted Jason Forrester to get that bone-scraping knife out of her clothes immediately.
"You go ahead and sign. I'm just seeing how to best make you into a bone sculpture."
The scrutinizing look on Jason Forrester's face showed he wasn't joking in the slightest.
Megan Kane gritted her teeth, refusing to be manipulated like this. Quick as a flash, she shot her hand out and grabbed Jason Forrester between his legs. "Then, President Forrester, you'd better be careful with that knife. Otherwise, I might not be able to control the strength in my hand!"
Jason Forrester's eyes bored into Megan Kane.
Their gazes locked, and the air around them crackled with tension.
Everyone fell silent and turned their backs, not daring to utter a single word.
"You've got some real nerve."
Jason Forrester was already aroused.
Although Megan Kane felt it, she still didn't dare remove her hand while the bone-scraping knife was still inside her clothes.
She could only keep her grip tight, ready to squeeze at a moment's notice.
"Heh!"
Jason Forrester unhurriedly withdrew the bone-scraping knife.
'This is going to be a lot of fun from now on!' he thought.
Besides, they had all the time in the world. He refused to believe he couldn't tame Megan Kane.
"I'll be waiting for you at the Forrester estate. Be there in one hour."
"Remember, be quick."
With a cold smile on his face, Jason Forrester turned and left.
He didn't hesitate for a moment.
He even turned back to flash his phone screen, where a timer had already started.
Only after everyone had left did Rowan Monroe slowly, cautiously open her eyes.
She looked at Megan Kane, who was covered in a cold sweat, and blinked, at a complete loss for what to say.
"M-my car is outside. Let me give you a ride."
