Chapter 1760: Directly Beaten and Screamed

As a scream pierced the air, the scene unfolded just as Taylor had anticipated. Seated in a chair, he watched her, observing her eyes gradually becoming unfocused, a flush spreading across her cheeks, until she struggled to stand steady.

"Claire! T... ler...!"

Claire's rage remained unspoken, her throat parched and tight.

Unable to clearly see his face, she watched the figure opposite her, blurring in her vision, and then, as she struggled to maintain coherence, she saw him rising.

In a moment of clarity, Claire asserted, "You can't do this. You mustn't make irredeemable mistakes." Each word brought a searing pain to her throat.

Not far outside the castle, Rowan had swiftly departed from his own palace, making his way towards the commotion.

He thought to himself that when Taylor arranged to meet Claire, it was likely for no good, probably just to entangle her further.

Moreover, the choice of Aire Castle for the meeting seemed out of the ordinary, and as Rowan's steps quickened, he grew increasingly uneasy.

In the uniquely styled Aire Castle, within the reception hall on the ground floor, the effects of the drug hit Claire forcefully. Although her thoughts remained momentarily clear, she struggled to move. She tried to walk out, but her legs refused to obey, feeling as though her body was no longer under her brain's control.

Furthermore, her body was growing weaker, making it a challenge to even support herself against the table.

She saw the figure opposite her rise and step towards her, and soon their bodies collided.

"Don't... don't touch me..." she resisted.

But drugged as she was, how could she, a weakened woman, resist a man in the prime of his vigor?

Taylor had already come to her side, enfolding her in his arms, whispering to her, "Claire, I like you. If you give me a chance, you'll come to like me too. There are many qualities about me that you haven't yet seen."
