Chapter 481\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou bitch, Honora,\u201d Hendrix spat, his face contorted with rage. He raised his hand and struck her across the face with vicious force. \u201cYou don\u2019t know, do you? You\u2019re nothing but a bastard! I\u2019m sterile. I never told Calista, but then she turned up pregnant. God knows which one of her sleazy lovers is your real father!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The words struck Honora like a bolt of lightning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour mother switched you with the Judson family\u2019s real heiress for two reasons,\u201d Hendrix sneered, spitting on the floor. \u201cOne, to give you a better life, and two, because she was terrified I\u2019d find out she cheated on me! If you weren\u2019t still worth something, I would have strangled you years ago. But tonight, I think I\u2019ll have a taste of what your mother made with some other man.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A tremor of fear shot through Honora. She struggled desperately, trying to break free from his grip, but her strength was nothing compared to his. He overpowered her with ease.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t think I don\u2019t know what you were planning,\u201d Hendrix said with a cold smirk. \u201cYou were going to have someone take care of me, weren\u2019t you? Make me blind and mute so I could never threaten you again. Am I right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora\u2019s eyes widened in terror. She couldn\u2019t believe he had seen right through her. \u201cThe only reason I played dumb was because you were still useful,\u201d he continued, his voice dripping with greed. \u201cTwenty thousand a month\u2013that\u2019s not a small sum, is it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora\u2019s body trembled like a leaf in the wind. \u2018Please, let me go,\u201d she begged, her voice cracking with despair. \u201cI can still make money for you. You can sell me to anyone you want, just\u2026 just don\u2019t you touch me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hendrix laughed dismissively. \u201cMake money for me? You think you\u2019re still the so\u2013called genius of Regal City, the precious Judson heiress? Your face is ruined. What rich man would want a worthless, disfigured piece of trash like you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
No matter how much she fought, the inhuman beast on top of her wouldn\u2019t let go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
An hour later\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
Honora lay on the sofa, as still as death, her face a mask of emptiness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hendrix slowly climbed off her, casually pulling up his trousers and whistling a self\u2013satisfied tune. The sound was piercing in the stale, foul air of the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA young body is something else,\u201d he muttered to himself as he buckled his belt, a smug grin on his face. \u201cNot loose and worn out like that old hag Calista.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His words were daggers, twisting deep into Honora\u2019s heart. Her body trembled slightly, her eyes burning with a mixture of despair and rage.\u00a0<\/p>\n
09:57\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 481\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, you just gave me an idea. I can still sell you,\u201d Hendrix said, his voice laced with greed. \u201cYour first time might be gone, but you\u2019ve still got a good figure. You can bear children, and some desperate fool might pay a handsome price for that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hearing this, the hatred in Honora\u2019s heart intensified.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUntil I find a buyer, you can just keep servicing me,\u201d he said, his appetite clearly not yet satisfied. \u201cAs long as you keep me happy, maybe I won\u2019t have to hit you-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, his voice stopped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His pupils dilated in shock, as if he had just seen a ghost. A thin line of blood trickled down from his hairline, tracing a path down his forehead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
