Leah was caught off guard by how jealous and petty Hogan was. She never expected him to be like this.
Honestly, it was disgusting.
Leah merely smiled faintly at how Hogan ridiculed her.
"I'm so sorry. It's not up to you to decide who I am. Maybe it's possible that I've done something with Ernest. If I did it, wouldn't you be disappointed?"
Leah retorted immediately, crushing Hogan's dignity.
Hogan snorted at Leah's words and said, "Dream on, Cinderella. You'll always be the girl sweeping the cinders, and you'll never be able to get the prince. Stop being so delusional."
The contempt and sarcasm in Hogan's words were obvious, but Leah's smile was bright and beautiful. Her face was radiant, and it was very different from yesterday night.
Today, Leah looked very cute, and light seemed to shine from her every pore.
Her smile was brilliant, and it swayed Hogan's
heart.
Leah said, "Thanks for the reminder, but I'm very ambitious. I want to ascend into the higher ranks of society. At least it's better than having no place."
"Hmph!" Hogan sneered, face twisted in disgust. He looked and Leah and said, "You shameless wh*re. You'll use any means necessary to be Ernest's wife."
Leah chuckled coldly. "So what? This is my business. If Ernest Jones himself loves me, no one else matters, much less a nobody like you."
Hogan was pissed, and his eyes looked as if they were going to cut Leah in half.
It was Leah's intention to anger Hogan so she could use the stun gun. If she didn't infuriate him, Hogan might still be cautious around her.
Leah had to use this weapon when Hogan was unprepared in order to stall for time. Otherwise, who knows what would happen before the police arrive?
Furthermore, they were inside the house. It would take time for the cops to enter as well.
It was not as straightforward as it seemed.
Leah threw Rowane a conspiratorial glance to remind her to play along as it would be difficult to subdue Hogan alone.
However, Rowane kept her head down and did not speak.
It looked like she had been badly injured.
Hence, Leah had to go at it alone.
Just then, Leah's phone rang.
She tried to get her phone with her free hand, but Hogan snatched it from her.
Leah was shocked by his actions. She'd glanced at the phone and discovered that Ernest was calling.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Hogan narrowed his eyes at the phone and sneered. "So, you two have really made up. Ernest is calling."
Hogan answered the call and Ernest's lazy voice came through the speaker. "I fell asleep just now, and I didn't manage to see your texts. Hey, you've finally unblocked me."
"Ernest Jones," Hogan was angered as soon as he heard Ernest's voice, and his tone was decidedly very rude. "Leah is with me now."
Ernest was taken aback at the sound of Hogan's voice, and he had a very bad feeling about what was happening.
He asked, "Where's Leah? What did you do to her?"
"Hogan, I'll kill you if you touch Leah." Ernest was so anxious that he nearly trembled.
He hurriedly pulled on his clothes as he called Hogan. Ernest was trying to leave the house as soon as possible.
Hogan held the phone tightly and ignored how anxious Ernest seemed over the phone. He chuckled darkly before he looked at Leah and Rowane. "Both of you are mine, and it's an honor few women have. I want to see how Leah can still aspire to marry into the Jones family after I've had my way with you."
"I don't think they would want damaged goods like you after I'm done with you. I'm going to ruin your plans, Leah."
"You're so shameless," Leah cursed at Hogan. She was enraged, and she couldn't believe what he'd become. "I've never met someone as shameless as you, Hogan."
However, Hogan completely ignored what Leah and Rowane said.
He ignored Ernest as well and cackled into the phone. "I'm going for broke now. Let's see what you can do to me."
The moment he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and smashed it against the wall. The phone was shattered in an instant.
It fell to the ground, and the screen was cracked beyond repair.
Leah's heart skipped a beat. Then, she looked at Hogan with her hands clasped behind her back.
He walked towards Leah with desire in his eyes.
He said, "Leah, I was nice to you before because I pitied you, but no longer. I don't think there's any need to be polite to you. I'll make you mine, just like I did to Rowane."
Leah then spat at Hogan, "Pft! Who do you think you are!?"
Hogan narrowed his eyes and said, "That doesn't matter. I want you to know what it's like to be r*ped."
"You must be addicted to that, huh?" Leah sneered at Hogan. "You forced yourself on my sister and made her pregnant. Now, you want to do the same to me. Think clearly, Hogan. I'm a future lawyer. If you hurt me, I'll take you to court."
