Chapter 416
It was his way of pretending he was still the man on top, that he hadn’t needed a
woman to get where he was.
But deep down, he knew the truth p>
He, and the entire Keller family, had only made it this far because of Brianna.
That’s why he always felt so insecure and sensitive around Brianna.
It was only with Lauren, a girl from some forgotten small town, that he could feel like
a man again and salvage his pride.
And so, one bad decision had spiraled into another.
Brandon stared at Brianna’s cold, indifferent face.
After having tasted the sweetness of power.
Now, Brianna wanted to take it all back.
Without the Blackwoods’ support, the Keller family… would inevitably face financial ruin!
No!
He absolutely could not lose all of this!
He couldn’t lose the Blackwood family as his backer!
Without Brianna, the Keller family was finished!
Brandon’s expression suddenly turned sinister, his whole face twisting.
He grinned, a nearly pathological smile spreading across his lips, and abruptly grabbed Brianna’s arm, pulling her into his embrace.
“Brianna, you’ve always liked me, haven’t you? And it just so happens you’ve come of age today… It’s time something happened between us! Even if something does happen, it’ll just be because we’re both into each other, right p>
Brandon stared at the sweet, pretty girl before him, at her young, soft, and delicate body.
A wicked fire burned brighter and brighter in his eyes.
“Get off me! You you’re insane!” Brianna couldn’t believe this man was bold enough to try something like this on Blackwood family territory.
She immediately turned to run.
“Lauren, lock the door!” Brandon ordered, his eyes cold and a cruel smile on his face.
Lauren jolted and immediately turned, locking the dressing room door with a click.
“Lauren!” Brianna had nowhere to run. She shrank back as the man slowly advanced on her. “You… you’re both insane! This is the Blackwood estate p>
“Brianna, why are you running?” A crazed, excited smile was in Brandon’s eyes.
He took one step after another
toward her. “What does it matter if
this is the Blackwood estate?
We’re a couple who have loved each other for a long time. Everything we’re doing now is just an uncontrollable act of mutual passion. What’s wrong with that p>
“Don’t worry… I’ve learned a lot from Lauren. I promise I’ll make you feel good p>
Brianna had backed up all the way to the window, with nowhere left to go.
Her hands gripped the curtains tightly. She could feel Brandon’s nauseating presence closing in, and her voice trembled. “Brandon, dont. be crazy if you really touch me you, and the entire Keller family, will bet finished p>
“No! You’re the little princess of the Blackwood family!” Brandon laughed menacingly: “The day you come of age, you tall fall head over heels for me, unable to resist your passion. After that, what man in all of Vaelion City would still want you? You’ll have no choice but to marry me, right p>
“Don’t worry, Brianna… My previous promises to you still stand. From now on, I’ll be devoted only to you. I’ll only love you p>
“Brandon! You wouldn’t dare!” Brianna’s fingers trembled as she dialed a number.
She had no idea who she was calling.
But the very instant the call connected.
Brandon, with lightning-fast reflexes, lunged forward, grabbed her arm, and slapped
the phone from her hand, sending it crashing to the floor.
Brianna’s heart sank with it. Overwhelming fear made her whole body tremble as she let out a piercing scream.
