Chapter 260
Suppressed. Silent. Unable even to fight back.
Michael had been raised with strict manners since childhood-always polite, courteous to everyone. He was nothing like her at all.
If it were her, whether she was right or wrong didn’t matter. In an argument, she had to win. If someone made her uncomfortable, she would make a scene even if she was being unreasonable.
That was why Michael, when he was young, had been easy to take advantage of, easy to bully.
So when they first met, the way Michael looked at her was like he’d found a savior-blind admiration in his eyes.
“Michael, stop pretending,” Winnie said coldly, unable to push him away as she forced down the burning in her throat. “You don’t need to play the nice guy in front of me. This is between Lindsay and me.”
Lindsay’s eyes reddened. “Michael, she doesn’t even appreciate it. She screwed you over and still acts all high and mighty. Are you really planning to be her lapdog for the rest of your life?”
“Let go of me!”
Winnie didn’t want to be caught between the two of them. As she struggled with Michael, her body slammed backward into the sharp corner of a standing cabinet.
Michael reacted instantly, blocking it with his arm. The impact wasn’t loud, but the heavy cabinet shook violently.
Michael’s brows knitted together, his face paling slightly-clearly in pain.
Winnie froze. Instinctively, she turned back to check his arm.
Halfway through the movement, she stopped. Seizing the chance, she slipped away from his side.
“Lindsay, there really is nothing between Michael and me—”
Before she could finish, Michael’s voice cut in from behind.
“Our engagement is off.”
Lindsay’s pupils dilated in shock. Her lips trembled as she stared at him, unable to believe what she’d heard. ” Michael, what did you just say? You’re breaking off the engagement with me-for a disgraced adopted daughter?
“This has nothing to do with anyone else,” Michael replied coldly. “You don’t trust me. My past may have left you with unpleasant feelings, but that’s something I can’t change. And now, I no longer have any interest in getting to know you further. I’ll explain everything to both our families afterward. The responsibility is entirely mine.”
With that, Michael didn’t pause for another second. He grabbed Winnie by the arm and dragged her away, ignoring her resistance.
Lindsay stood frozen for several seconds before suddenly turning back. “Michael! You’ll regret this!”

Michael hauled Winnie out of the Starr residence. Just as he opened the car door and tried to shove her inside, she shoved him hard.
“Michael, have you lost your mind?” Winnie snapped. “You clearly hate me, so why are you meddling in my business? And do you even realize Lindsay will file a complaint against me? Since we’re already strangers, can you stop dragging both of us down?”
She turned to go back, but Michael yanked at his tie, then closed the distance in a few long strides and forcibly stuffed her into the car.
The seat belt clicked into place. The door locked. No matter how much Winnie struggled, it was useless.
“Michael, since when did you become like this?”
“If you go back now, do you really think she’ll forgive you?” Michael said flatly, hands gripping the steering
wheel.
This was the first time he had ever forced someone to do something, and his own anger was boiling inside him.” Winnie, when have you ever allowed yourself to endure such humiliation? Or did things go wrong with yet another man, so now you’re looking for pain again?”
“…Michael, I hate you.”
His words struck her hard. Every breakup had been painful-yes, Michael had been the one who stayed with her through those nights, who’d seen her at her most lost and miserable.
But that had never been because of those men.
She never imagined that Michael had always thought of her this way.
Did he really see her as both a hopeless romantic and a heartless player at the same time? Those two labels together-did that even make sense?
