.Adam roughly pushed her forward by grabbing her shoulder.
"Ah!"
Alice fell on the edge of the coffee table, knocking over two cups, one of which spilled the wine and splashed her face, wetting her hair. Adam sat on the sofa, his posture lazy, his long legs crossed, looking at the embarrassed Alice with cold and dark eyes.
The President Henry who was just there rushed to pour the wine, "Mr. Davis, please have a drink."
"You pour it!" Adam ordered coldly.
President Henry's hand stiffened for a moment, then he understood and handed the bottle to Alice.
Alice trembled as if she was soaked in cold water all over her body.
She knew that Adam was humiliating her, and if she didn't obey, she would never leave this private room.
Thinking of her three lovely and innocent children at home, Alice could only swallow her tears and tremblingly took the wine bottle to pour the wine.
Adam picked up the wine glass, sipped it lightly, and looked at Alice's face with a cold and sharp gaze.
"Can I... leave now?" Alice asked in a trembling voice. She was still kneeling on the ground, feeling anxious and scared.
Most of the people around were silent, watching this scene.
And Adam, like a king, controlled the whole situation.
"Why leave as soon as you arrive?" President Henry poured her a drink. "It's an honor for you to drink with Mr. Davis. Drink up!"
"I don't drink..." Alice refused and turned her face away.
Adam reached out and grabbed her chin, forcing her to face him. His dark eyes were cold and intimidating. "Don't tell me you didn't inherit the genes to accompany men for drinks?"
Alice looked at him with teary eyes, her tears trembling.
"Did that slut from the Davis Family not teach you anything?"
"My aunt is not a mistress, you misunderstood..." Alice felt wronged.
"Of course, because you're just like her!" Adam's grip tightened, almost crushing Alice's jawbone.
"Ah!" Alice cried out in pain."Alice, if you fall into my hands again, your good days are over." Adam patted her face and let go.
Alice's body went weak and she fell to the ground, tears falling.
President Henry came over and pulled her up. "Come on, drink. It's not proper to come to a bar and not drink."
Another man came over and pulled her, even the women came to pull her.
Alice was forced to sit on the sofa, and drink after drink was handed to her. She could only gulp them down.
The foreign liquor was too strong, making it difficult for her to swallow every sip, and tears welled up in her eyes.
One of the women sat next to Adam, pouring him drinks and acting coy. However, Adam's gaze was fixed on the woman he hated to the bone.
By the time Alice had her sixth drink, she was already feeling dizzy and everything seemed blurry.
When she felt someone touch her leg, she woke up immediately and quickly. moved away, standing up and running out of the private room.
She rushed into the adjacent restroom and leaned over the toilet,retching continuously but unable to vomit, tears streaming down her face.
What had she done wrong to deserve this treatment?
When she was fourteen, so many relatives had turned her away, but only her aunt took her in. How could such an aunt be a morally corrupt woman?
Just because she had entered the Davis Family and called him "brother", it seemed to have touched Adam's nerve, and even after leaving the Davis Family, the nightmare still lingered.
The door closed with a click, making Alice's body stiffen as she felt the eerie atmosphere behind her, sending chills down her spine and into her mind.
Without even turning around, she knew who was emitting this aura...
"You've had enough to drink, haven't you... ah!" Alice's words were cut off as her hair was pulled, forcing her head back and exposing her delicate neck.
Adam's face was as terrifying as a devil's, "Did I say you can leave?"
Alice's scalp was numb, maybe due to the effect of alcohol, but fear was deeply embedded in her bones.She gasped, "What do I need to do... to be let go?"
Adam ignored her question, his gaze narrowed and wandered over her figure, his eyes flashing with a deep and eerie color. He leaned down, his thin lips softly murmuring in her ear, "I wonder if your body is more honest."
After speaking, he opened his mouth and bit directly on her bare shoulder--
"Ah!" Alice shuddered violently, her throat choking.
"So cheap? Huh?"
Alice felt a burning sensation on her shoulder, not knowing if it was bitten through. After Adam released his bite, her body went limp and leaned against Adam's sturdy chest. Tears flowed from her eyes, weak and helpless, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have come back, please don't... don't torture me anymore..."
Adam held her chin firmly, lifting it up, "Begging for mercy is more dangerous than refusing in my presence."
Alice's scalp tingled, the alcohol making her face flush, and she dared not open her eyes due to the light from the ceiling. Her head was spinning, and tears were falling uncontrollably, "Why does it have to be me? Why..."
"You know very well. Huh? That bitch can't be touched yet, so I'll start with you! She loves you so much, doesn't she? Then I'll make her most beloved niece worse than death!" Adam viciously pinched her chin.
Benjamin actually threatened her with his life.
Good!
He would make them know what it means to be better off dead!
Alice sobbed, thinking that her aunt was a home-wrecker, so she must be one too!
She had always been misunderstood like that, and no one could change Adam's perception.
"When I was twelve... isn't that enough?"
"Never enough!" Adam's vengeful tone was terrifying. "You better endure it well. If you dare die, she'll be next!"
"No..." Alice was so scared that she trembled all over, her head spinning. She couldn't hold on for long before she passed out from the alcohol...
When Alice woke up, she sat up in shock and realized that she was in the mansion's room, not in some unknown place, and there was no strange man beside her, which relieved her.
She was prone to blackouts when she drank, and she didn'tremember what happened after the bathroom.
The hangover made her head ache, but her shoulder hurt more.
She frowned in pain and couldn't help but whimper.
She got out of bed and went to the bathroom, still wearing the black one-shoulder dress that accentuated her curves.
On her exposed shoulder was a blood-red mark that was shocking to see.
It was the bite mark left by Adam.
It looked like a blood-red birthmark.
It wouldn't fade for at least ten days.
Adam's cruelty had only intensified since their first year of junior high.
It made her feel scared, with her hair standing on end.
And it only strengthened her resolve to leave!
During the day, Alice tried to calm herself down and silently familiarize herself with the geography of this private area.
It was called Lanyue Bay, and the mansion was called Yudian Garden. It belonged to Adam and covered an area of over one billion.
In other words, it was impossible to walk out of Lanyue Bay's territory on two legs, unless Adam personally allowed it.
But how could that be...
Alice hid in her room and called her aunt, "Who owns Lanyue Bay?"
"The owner of Lanyue Bay's property is unknown, very mysterious, even your uncle can't figure it out. But this force has deep roots in Star City, and there are many people who want to climb up, after all, Star City has changed a lot now." Bella said.
Alice bit her lip and fell silent.
Adam must have silently taken root in Star City long ago, and by the time those wealthy businessmen in Star City reacted, it would be too late.
Even the Davis Family didn't know the depth of it.
"And, the owner of Lanyue Bay and the leader of Dragon Group are the same person."
"Dragon Group?"
"Yes! The tallest skyscraper in Star City, in just five years, it has become as rich as a country and is the king of power in the entire Star City. It's really a headache, I don't know how to get to know such a big shot, it's so mysterious."
