Chapter 11
Chapter II
Randall pressed against Christine’s back, enveloping her with the special smell of his body.
Christine’s heart raced as she struggled desperately.
However, the vast strength disparity between her and Randall rendered her efforts futile.
Randall observed Christine’s struggles, and his eyes darkened. He said with a low and compelling voice.
“It seems that you’ve forgotten what happened. Looks like I’ll need to give you a good relief of that process.”
Suddenly, Christine heard the unmistakable sound of a belt buckle being undone, causing her to freeze immediately.
“What the hell is going on?” she thought.
There was no reminiscing to be done between her and Randall.
“Randall, you’re shameless. Let go of me,” she demanded.
“Shameless?” Randall snorted coldly before biting Christine’s earlobe and added, “Weren’t you the one who arranged for two kids to come to me and remind me of the fact that I have two sons? I don’t want to be a scumbag dad, so I’ll carefully try to recollect how it happened, and you’ll have to play your part.”
Each word of Randall’s sentence struck Christine’s heart, sending a shiver through her like a demon’s whisper.
“No, let go of mel” she pleaded.
At that moment, the door suddenly swung open, and Derick rushed in with an iPad as he said.
“Mr. Reeves. I found Christine…”
Derick was trying to say he found out all the information about Christine. However, his words trailed off as he took in the scene before him.
Derick stared in bewilderment at the iPad and then at the woman pinned down by Randall.
She was the woman in the picture shown on the screen of the iPad.
But that wasn’t the issue. The real concern was how she was pinned on the desk by Randall in a compromising position.
“Could it be that Randall intended to have a tryst in the office?” he thought.
Seeing someone enter, Christine used the distraction to push Randall away.
Panicking, she straightened her disheveled clothes and glanced warily at Randall as she asked.
“Randall, where are my two sons?”
Two sons?
Derick honestly chimed in. “Aren’t your sons the two boys who set up a fortune–telling stand by the door this morning? They’ve long since left.”
“Left? So, they’re not here!” Christine thought in surprise.
Christine’s mind raced, wondering what she was doing now if her sons had left long ago.
“Am I asking for trouble myself?” she thought.
*Randall, damn you!”
Christine exclaimed, her checks flushing with embarrassment as she wrapped herself tightly and escaped the scene.
Seeing that Christine ran away, Randall felt a bit dissatisfied.
His eyes darkened, while Derick looked visibly guilty as if wishing to disappear into a hole in the ground.
He first interrupted Randall’s behavior and then even let that woman escape.
“Mr. Reeves, please forgive me…”
Randall glanced at Derick from the corner of his eye, emanating a fierce aura that could shake a person to his core.
Derick couldn’t meet his gaze directly and, in an attempt to make amends, cautiously handed over the iPad while saying,
“Mr. Reeves, here is the information I found about the woman from earlier, Derick said cautiously.
In fact, after that night, Randall seldom showed interest in any woman.
However, he had almost done something to that particular woman just now.
It seemed she was the type of woman Randall liked.
Chapter 11
Randall took the iPad coldly, examining the information with a commanding look.
The atmosphere in the room eased somewhat, but Derick remained anxious, hoping to make a quiet escape.
Derick secretly turned around and was attempting to sneak away.
But he was abruptly halted by Randall’s icy voice.
“Five hundred push–ups.”
Five hundred push–ups?
“Mr. Reeves, come on, my body can’t endure that level of punishment,” Derick pleaded pitifully.
However, Derick’s pitiful plea for mercy only got Randall’s cold words in return.
“Then one thousand push–ups, came the stern reply.
Derick’s heart sank, and he said in a panic, “Mr. Reeves, I understand. I’ll get to it right away.”
Derick scurried away, leaving Randall holding the iPad. As he gazed at the picture of Christine, he gripped the iPad more tightly until his knuckles whitened.
For some inexplicable reason, that woman reminded him of a night six years ago.
However, the woman from that distant memory was not Christine.
In the Scenic Bay.
As Christine arrived home, she was greeted by her two little kids, who eagerly seated on the sofa, awaiting her return. They rushed towards her as soon as they spotted her.
Milo’s little face scrunched up with concern as he questioned, “Mommy, where have you been?”
Christine’s expression turned somber.
“You little brats, I should be the one asking where you’ve been.”
She retorted, trying to control her anger, but her eyebrows betrayed her emotions with an ominous twitch.
Oliver and Milo recognized the tone in their mother’s voice and sensed danger approaching.
They knew that when she called them “little brats,” it meant she was angry. Normally, she addressed them with much sweeter names, Oliver and Milo.
“Does mommy feel angry because we’ve gone out without informing her?” they thought.
Milo reached for a note and handed it to Christine, speaking sweetly, “Mommy, we went out to play, but I left you a note. It must have blown away in the wind.”
Taking the note, Christine read its contents. [Mommy, I’m going out to play with my brother. We’ll be right back. Remember to eat your sandwich when you wake up. We’ll return once you’ve finished it.]
She was so focused on finding her children before that Christine hadn’t noticed a note lying on the floor.
She had instructed them not to go out without informing an adult, but there was one issue now that clearly seemed more
serious.
“It’s not just about the note now. It’s about why you both hacked someone’s system again, Christine asked with a serious. look.
Oliver and Milo exchanged glances, surprised that their mommy knew they had hacked the Reeves Group’s system.
Christine felt a moment of frustration.
She had already taken the blame in Cardolia when her kids had hacked the Institute’s system. Now, in Archiland, she was once again facing the consequences of their actions on the Reeves Group’s system. Was she destined to take the blame for her child’s hacking?
Oliver’s eyes widened in surprise as he asked, “Mommy, how did you find out?”
“Because you two hacked the Reeves Group’s system, and Randall almost caught me.”
Christine replied, her heart still racing at the memory.
“That man is totally… well, a narcissistic and crazy person!” she thought.
Milo’s heart raced as he heard the news, and he instinctively grasped Christine’s hand, his voice trembling with concern. “Mommy, did my scumbag dad hurt you? Are you alright?”
Scumbag dad? Upon hearing Milo’s words, Christine felt a surge of frustration.
Before she could respond, Milo’s anger flared, his innocent face bulging like that of an enraged pufferfish.
Chapter 11
This scumbag dad has gone too far! He refuses to acknowledge us as his children. And what’s even more outrageous is how he denies knowing Mommy in front of us but then seeks her out in private, attempting to harm her. We can’t let this irresponsible man get away with it, Oliver!”
Oliver’s tiny fists clenched tightly, and he proclaimed with determination, “Absolutely right! I’ll not only hack into his company’s system, but I’ll also cause his stocks to plummet!”
Milo chimed in, “And I’ve been working on a special medicine called infertility powder since I got back home. Now that it’s ready, I’m going to deliver it to that scumbag dad and put an end to his cruel ways of spreading his seed recklessly.”
It sounded really ruthless.
