Amelia leaned gracefully against the polished wooden doorframe with her slender arms crossed tightly over her chest. A cold, mocking smile hung on her lips as she stared down at the battered male on the
floor.
She coldly asked Lance if he was just cursing her name under his breath a moment ago. Her voice was sharp and filled with absolute disdain for his pathetic, broken state.
Lance’s heavily bruised face instantly stiffened in pure, unadulterated terror at her sharp question. He quickly shook his head and frantically denied the accusation in a blind, desperate panic.
Amelia’s beautiful smile grew even brighter and far more radiant at his obvious lie. She looked at Lance with deep, undisguised mockery shining brightly in her striking sapphire blue eyes.
She questioned him sharply about his constant, hypocritical talk of seeking true atonement. How could he possibly fail to maintain his pathetic, gentle disguise so quickly?
She ruthlessly compared him to Ethan and Caleb in a highly condescending tone. She bluntly stated that those two brothers had at least held out for quite a long time during their punishments.
Meanwhile, Lance could not even endure a single day of suffering under her heavy hands. She coldly declared that he was simply too weak and far inferior to them in every way.
Lance’s fragile mind was completely on the verge of a total, devastating collapse. He simply could not understand how Amelia could be so incredibly ruthless to him.
How could she strike his proud, handsome face with such heavy, brutal werewolf force? However, he was currently trapped in this heavily guarded room with absolutely no path of escape.
He could only forcefully suppress the burning anger raging deep within his chest. He had to continue acting his subservient part with his horribly swollen, purple face.
He took a deep, painful breath and forced a twisted, highly strained smile onto his lips. He looked exactly like a severely wounded wolf bearing its fangs in total defeat.
He respectfully stated that as long as it vented her anger, he was entirely willing to accept any punishment. Amelia looked at him with sheer, unfiltered disgust written all over her face.
She let out a cold, disdainful snort at his sickeningly hypocritical words. She stated that she would let him
off for today, leaving the rest of his brutal punishment for tomorrow.
She coldly declared that a true hunter never exhausted all of their prey’s value in one single breath. Slow,
agonizing torment was always the most brilliant and satisfying way to hunt.

Lance desperately tried to act pitiful in front of her cold, unforgiving gaze. He choked back fake tears and whimpered that she would never be so cruel to her own family.
Amelia sneered darkly and immediately retorted his ridiculous, completely unfounded claim. She
reminded him that she did not even bat an eye when Carlos was sent straight to the police station.
She openly mocked his pathetic attempt to use these physical injuries to gain her sympathy. She called his
desperate behavior utterly stupid and entirely pointless in her eyes.
She then deliberately brought up Griffin’s name to strike a heavy blow to his fragile ego. She mockingly
wondered how that arrogant guy would react to this pathetic, humiliating situation.
What would Griffin think if he knew his own cousin willingly offered his throat to her sharp claws? After
delivering those biting words, Amelia turned around to leave the suffocating room.
She coldly instructed the muscular bodyguards stationed outside the door to watch him strictly. If Lance
dared to take a single step to run, they were to break his legs directly without hesitation.
As the heavy wooden door closed tightly shut, Lance’s gentle disguise completely shattered into a million
pieces. He finally realized the terrifying truth of his current, inescapable situation.
Amelia truly intended to imprison him in this room and physically beat him every single day. Under the grip
of extreme fear, his trembling hands reached deep into his pocket.
He decided he had to use his phone to contact Griffin immediately. He desperately needed his powerful
cousin to come and save him from this living nightmare.
(Amelia’s POV)
I arrived at my spacious office at Starlight Entertainment early in the morning. Wayne was already waiting
anxiously for me near my large, polished mahogany desk.
He looked incredibly emotional as he rushed forward to beg me to save Zoey. His hands trembled
violently as he quickly pulled out his phone from his pocket.
He showed me a social media post that Zoey had published late last night. It was an abstract, messy sketch of a human face with an extremely eerie, unsettling style.
Although the drawing was quite abstract and chaotic, my sharp observation skills caught a crucial detail. I immediately noticed a distinct mole located on the right corner of the sketched person’s eye.
This specific physical feature perfectly matched the appearance of that unknown big shot, Lord Sterling. He was the powerful backer standing behind Griffin in my detailed intelligence reports.
Wayne nervously explained that Zoey usually only drew sunny and positive artworks in her free time. He insisted that this terrifying, dark style was absolutely abnormal for her usual artistic expression.
He firmly believed this had to be an urgent SOS signal sent out in desperation. It was a hidden message that only he could understand when she was in grave danger.

Facing Wayne’s desperate request, I calmly nodded my head in agreement. I stated that if his speculation was indeed true, I would definitely find a secure way to rescue her.
However, I made it very clear that this rescue would come with a strict exchange condition. After the mission was successful, both he and Zoey had to sign exclusive, harsh contracts with my company.
They would have to completely work for me and follow my orders without a single question. To save his beloved mate, Wayne agreed to my demanding terms without a single second of hesitation.
I nodded in deep satisfaction at his unwavering loyalty to his partner. I told him to go prepare for the filming of the new drama “Treatment Diary” with complete peace of mind.
