Chapter 1021 - 1024: Endure It

"Come here, and give him a fierce beating!" Melody Thorne tossed the whip over, "Beat him awake! How dare you collude with Councilman Gu, Donovan Hawthorne? I’ve never seen someone as stupid as you. Councilman Gu accused The Hawthorne Family of being traitors, and you’re Weston Hawthorne’s son. You can’t escape it either. Collaborating with him—calling you stupid is actually a compliment!"

"Go get my master a glass of water," Jenson Ona said to someone nearby.

The person’s eye twitched, "Yes."

"Councilman Gu already told me, it was you who took what originally belonged to me. If you’re smart, hurry up and hand over that transfer order!"

"Don’t say I didn’t take it. Even if I did and handed it over now, you think it would end up in your hands? Don’t be foolish. A rebel force will only be eradicated, and your Hawthorne Family will completely disintegrate too!"

Jenson Ona lashed Donovan Hawthorne one stripe after another, eventually whipping him unconscious!

"Master, this kid can’t handle a beating; I only whipped him a few times, and he’s already fainted," Ona said innocently.

"Alright, hand him over to Harold Chapman to deal with. Make sure Harold doesn’t let him out for some time!"

"Yes."

Melody Thorne returned to the villa, her concerned eyes fixed on Jared Quinn’s wound and said, "I beat Donovan Hawthorne for you and avenged you!"

Jared Quinn "..."

He felt as if he was the aggrieved wife.

With one hand, he lifted Melody Thorne and demonstrated with action that he was the real man.

"Be careful; your arm is still hurt," Melody Thorne exclaimed.

"I want to take a shower now!"

"No, you can only take a shower when your arm is healed," Melody Thorne protested.

"I can’t wait," Jared Quinn opened the bedroom door, "I’m about to sleep soon. Help me shower first!"

Melody Thorne "...can we not shower?"

She feared she couldn’t resist the temptation later!

"No."

Melody Thorne, blushing, undressed Jared Quinn, removing all his clothes, filled the water, and with her small hands, haphazardly rubbed a towel over his chest.

"Not joining me for the shower?" Jared Quinn leaned lazily on the edge of the bathtub, but the posture only accentuated his sculpted lines.

Melody Thorne stuck out her tongue and licked her lip corner, "I don’t want to shower with you."

"Really not joining me?" Jared Quinn flicked water onto her clothes, intentionally making Melody Thorne’s clothes cling tightly to her waistline.

A few minutes later, Melody Thorne glimpsed a sight she shouldn’t have.

"Get up," Melody Thorne waved the towel.

Jared Quinn obediently stood up, but one large hand turned her around, pressing her against the bathroom’s glass door, "Honey, I feel uncomfortable..."

"Hold it," Melody Thorne said, face flushed, especially with her stance against the glass door.

Jared Quinn bit her sensitive little ear, his big hands traipsing over her sensitive spots, "Are you sure you want me to hold it?"

"Get away," Melody Thorne uncovered her ears and opened the glass door to leave, "Jared Quinn, if you keep going on like this, you’ll exhaust yourself to death sooner or later!"

Jared Quinn sat at the bed’s head, pulled out the hairdryer, planning to dry his hair himself.

Melody Thorne knelt over, took the hairdryer!

Her soft little hands intertwined with his hair...

After drying his hair, Jared Quinn was endlessly tempting to Melody Thorne; less than an hour later, the bedroom was filled with tender, passionate hues...

In the morning, the study.

Melody Thorne helped Jared Quinn review documents for his approval, although his arm was hurt, she took care of him like he was a disabled person.
