Chapter 498:
Kylo had done even worse things than this to Dayna before. Still, when Dayna saw Amelia looking at her now, a crushing sense of humiliation overwhelmed her.
Unable to endure it, she clasped his palm and said softly, “Kylo, there are too many people here. Could you wait until we go back to our room? I p>
Before she could finish speaking, Kylo struck her hard across the cheek. The unexpected blow left her reeling, and she collapsed to the floor.
“Sweetheart, have you forgotten your place?” Kylo’s mouth curved in a smile, though his gaze held no trace of warmth.
Haunted by memories of the savage thrashings she had endured when opposing him before, Dayna scrambled upright and clutched his sleeve. “I am really sorry. Forgive me; I realize my mistake now p>
“That’s more like it.” Kylo drew her close and squeezed her chest with satisfaction.
Amelia and her companions grimaced at the scene taking place before their eyes.
At that instant, Kylo’s attention slid over to Amelia and Nora. When his gaze landed on Amelia, a flicker of amazement sparked within his stare. He pushed Dayna aside and walked toward Amelia.
Discarded like a toy, Dayna tightened her hands into fists, malice gleaming briefly in her eyes. Yet within a moment, she devised a scheme and said with sweetness, “Kylo, Amelia is a genuine high-society woman. She comes from a wealthy family p>

“Is that so?” Kylo said.
Amelia wondered if she had imagined it, but she detected a surge of loathing in Kylo’s eyes after Dayna uttered those words.
Kylo’s full name was Kylo Payne. He had been a graduate student from Kretol University. Even with the fierce employment struggle in Kretol, his computer science diploma ensured constant demand.
In his third year of working, he crossed paths with a wealthy young woman. Much like many scholarly types, Kylo was awkward yet devoted. Throughout their relationship, every penny he earned was spent on her. But once he ran out of money, the rich girl proposed a breakup.
Had it been an ordinary farewell between partners, Kylo might have endured it. However, when he sought her out to part with dignity, he mistakenly overheard her boasting to her friends. The truth revealed their relationship was merely the result of a reckless wager.
Kylo’s devotion had been their cruel entertainment.
Even after that discovery, Kylo had no wish to harm her. He simply requested reimbursement of the money he had spent on her, but she coldly refused him. She even mocked him and arranged for him to be mercilessly beaten.
From then on, Kylo abandoned his position and severed every bond with relatives and acquaintances. Soon after, he flourished within Kretol’s hidden gambling dens. Using his technical mastery, he guaranteed his establishments were always profitable.
The wealthy young woman later met a disastrous fate, yet Kylo’s animosity toward privileged females never faded.
His abuse of Dayna was rooted in hearing of her past as a daughter of the affluent Flynn family. Dayna had uncovered this from his guards. Now, she intended to use it to deal with Amelia.
“Don’t you dare lay a finger on my sister p>
