CEO's Dumb Bride novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127 She Was Destined To Get Nothing

Lilian's fingers tightened as she stared at the man's impassive face, her gaze briefly lost in thought.

She would never truly know what he was thinking.

Francis tightened his grip on her chin, a touch heavier this time, "Did you hear me?"

Lilian felt pain, coming back to her senses, and nodded.

He continued, "This is the last time. If you don't obey again, I'll break your legs and lock you up. Do you understand?"

Lilian's body tensed all over. His expression didn't seem like a joke. He really did it.

She had to nod with difficulty.

Francis finally released her, his fingers gently caressing her cheek, "That's better."

He leaned in to kiss her lips, but Lilian recalled the doctor's words and subconsciously turned her head away.

Francis narrowed his eyes and turned her face back towards him. His voice carried a dangerous undertone, "Did you already forget what I just said? Was your memory bad?"

Lilian desperately wanted to explain with gestures, but her frantic movements seemed like resistance to him.

He seized her hand and ripped down his tie to bind her wrists together.

She shook her head vigorously. Because the amplitude of her struggle was too large, she fell off the sofa onto the hard floor, causing her head to spin with pain.

Lilian curled up on the floor and looked at him full of pleading, her blurry teary-eyed eyes mixed with a bit of fear.

Francis clutched her collar, lifting her up and staring deeply into her eyes.

"Are you afraid of me?"

Lilian looked at the sinister curve of his lips and couldn't know if she was more scared or if her lower abdomen was painful. Her body trembled uncontrollably.

He smiled. That was a chilling smile, with no trace of a smile in his eyes.

"Why?" He kept his gaze fixed on Lilian's eyes as if searching for answers within her eyes. "Why were you afraid of me?"

Lilian closed her eyes and turned her head, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes.

She also wanted to know why.
