Since Terence wasn't going to come home, Julia decided to cook herself a bowl of noodles. Just as she began to eat them, Terence surprisingly arrived at the door.
"I thought you weren't going to come back tonight." Julia quietly placed the bowl and chopsticks on the table and walked towards him. She winced as he smelled like alcohol. "Did you drink?"
After they had shared a bed, she assumed that they were on good terms. However, what Terence said next would bring her back to reality.
With a sneer, he spat, "What? Do you have a problem with that?"
"That's not what I meant..." Julia widened her eyes, not expecting his reaction. She was just trying to care for him. With a bitter smile, she quietly asked him, "Have you had dinner yet? How about I—"
Before she could finish, he suddenly grabbed her throat and pressed her body against the cushion. When she looked into his eyes, she could see a vicious flare flashing. She was stunned, not understanding why he was being like this.
"Ahem... Please let go of me..." Julia wheezed, clawing at Terence's hands. She couldn't breathe properly. "It hurts... Please let go of me..."
He tightened his grip around her neck and he glared at her. "Do you even know what pain is? I thought that a woman as vicious as you wouldn't know what pain feels like."
After saying this, he released her and felt no remorse when he saw her kneel on the floor. "I thought you were just a scheming person, but I didn't expect that you would also be so cruel to your own family. She is your mother. She raised and cared for you, but you abandoned her so willingly. Honestly, you never fail to impress me."
Julia cowered when she heard what Terence said. She looked up to bare her teeth and hissed, "If you don't believe me, then why did you bring me here?"
Regardless of her physical discomfort, Julia refused to break eye contact with him. She wanted to know why he brought her to his residence.
She saw a flash of mockery on Terence's face. "I was wrong to think that you had corrected your mistakes, but I didn't expect you to make it even worse. Just take it as I found a prostitute for free."
He rolled his eyes at her and continued, "I didn't expect you to be so popular. You even managed to win Eric's and Samuel's hearts. What the hell did you do to make them so obsessed with you?
Or should I assume that you are so good at satisfying them in bed that they're willing to help you?"
"Shame on you!" Julia trembled in anger and glared at him with fire in her eyes. "You're wrong, Samuel and I are just friends."
Terence stepped forward and pinched Julia's chin. Her face was still so beautiful, even without makeup. No wonder Samuel defended her. "Is Samuel better than me in bed? Or am I unable to satisfy you?"
His statement sent a chill up Julia's spine.
Although they had slept in the same bed for the last two days, Terence didn't touch except for the first night. Instead, he tightly embraced her every night to make sure that she slept well.
However, she knew that she wouldn't be able to escape tonight.
