Chapter 668 Humiliation
Harper was taken aback by his threat, and a wave of humiliation swept over her.
So what if I feel humiliated? Can I refuse to obey his wishes just because of that? It’ll be easy to reject him. All I have to do is say no. But what’s going to happen after that? Once I refuse to do as he says, everything will go back to how it was a few days ago. We’ll have to go into hiding and have nothing to wear but tattered clothes. What’s more, my dream of being a socialite will end up getting crushed!
Hence, Harper had no choice but to force a smile and say, “Fine, I agree! I’ll make sure to treat Mr. Leighton well.”
David smirked and replied, “It looks like you’re not that dense after all!”
With that, he pushed her toward Callum and announced with a gleeful grin, “You’ll leave with Mr. Leighton tonight!”
Callum hugged Harper excitedly. Smiling, he said, “Ms. Jennings, I’ll get someone to hook us a hotel room. Let’s get to know each other a little better tonight.”
Harper wiped away her tears quietly, resentment bubbling within her.
She remembered the time when she was the precious daughter of the Jennings family. She had been admired and sought after by many suitors. She was also proud, so she only had eyes for the heirs of wealthy families. She would not even spare a glance for anyone less than that.
In the end, I married into the Hale family. I thought that everything would be rainbow and butterflies after marrying into an affluent family, but only a few days after that, that piece of trash forced me into doing something so degrading. Now. Henry has divorced me, and the Jennings family is bankrupt. I never imagined that I’d wind up in such a miserable state. Henry abandoned me, and Jacob forced me to become David’s lover. And now, David is using me as a tool to get what he wants by tossing me to Callum. If Callum gets bored of me in the future, who will I end up with then?
Callum held her tightly in his arms with a lecherous expression, then said to David, “Don’t worry. Once we’ve gathered all the ingredients, we’ll send the medicine to you at once. We’ll have you raring to go in no time!”
David heaved a sigh of relief when he heard those words. He answered with a smile, “That’s music to my cars. I’ll wait for your good news then!”
Callum nodded, then glanced at the time. Impatient to get down to business with Harper, he gave David a chuckle and said. “It’s getting late. Why don’t we wrap things up here for today?”
David knew that Callum was eagerly anticipating spending the night with Harper. He could not help feeling a pang of envy. If it weren’t for what Alex did. I would’ve done it with Harper!
However, thinking of the medicine, David nodded and smiled. “Of course. Let’s stop here for today. Why don’t the both of you leave first?”
Then, he turned to Harper and added, “Treat Mr. Leighton well, got it?”
Feeling humiliated, Harper could only nod and say, “Got it…”
That night, Harper became Callum’s lover.
