QT: Against My Will

Victor turned around coldly, irritated that she could make him listen to her orders. The way Ezikiel reacted to the kiss would be how she would react in the past. From a pure-bred to a complete slut. Great, such a great actress.

Pleased by the fact that someone could view Bing Shi’s acting skills in such a high regard, she patted the side of her bed, “The line for a kiss is here.” After what just happened to Ezikiel, she wondered if anyone would ever want to kiss her again.

“...” Maybe Victor might have kissed Silvia if Elera wasn’t by his side, just to see what would happen. Since the time he threatened Silvia with destroying her body if she did something to Riley, she kept provoking him with her actions, as if saying: Go ahead, you can’t destroy me more than I already did myself.

Victor couldn’t go against someone whose motives were unknown. He could only observe and wait until he found something dear to her heart and then destroy it (to take revenge for how she was treating him and his beloveds). But the problem was, he couldn’t see this woman love anything and anybody, not even herself.

The doors to the bathroom flung open, breaking the tense silence. The pale Ezikiel walked out towards Silvia. His ashen expression would bait anyone into thinking that he just woke up from a nightmare, even his lips were barely there. Like a huge warning sign, they advertised the effect of Silvia’s ‘kiss from hell’ – something that was supposed to heal him, looked like it sucked the dear life out of him instead.

|”What are you doing?”|

|Standing in line.|

Bing Shi’s expression of trying to hold in her laughter changed into a snort of some sort, “...pfft...”

.....

The nurse suddenly interrupted their fun and requested everyone to go out so she could change Silvia’s bandages.

Bing Shi sent Victor a grateful smile as if she was dealing with her loyal fan, “See you soon.” To thank the man, who also had a big hand in her recovery and path to godhood, she decided to become a free entertainer for a while – to spice up his ‘borish’ life as he used to call it. It was a secret that was better kept hidden because he would no longer find it ‘fun’ if he knew the truth, right?

When it was Elera’s turn, she wanted to make a gigantic eye roll as a way to say thank you for a visit, but she was afraid her husband would force her to wear a blindfold if she flaunted her pretty eyes at other women too much, “Miss Mai, you’ve saved so much of my time and effort. How can I repay you enough?”

Was Silvia acting to gain Victor’s favorability again? Elera shuddered, “Do you expect me to trust a word from a bitch like you?” she snapped in anger when she thought about how Riley was treated like a doormat. Simple words of thank you and sorry would never be able to fix the damage.

Bing Shi covered her mouth with her palms unbelievingly, so touched that someone was buying her ‘villainous’ act. The biggest credit should be given to Silvia, who integrated her image in their heads too well.

Elera pointed a middle finger at Silvia, feeling absurd for feeling sorry for a female lead with a healing ability, “Fuck you and your crap!” she then walked out of the ward like a queen, making the stunned Victor follow after her.

Ziek closed the doors to his wife’s ward and sat on the waiting couch by the doors. He began to paint the thumb on his left-hand black while also possessing the nurse inside. Controlling the nurse’s body, he carefully took off Silvia’s bandages, smiling as his wife tried to distract their pain with an engaging chat.

|”What do you call somebody who is not funny but tries to be funny?”|

|A clown.|

Before Silvia committed attempted suicide...

Riley’s system: {Host, have you found some dirt on the LeClére family?}

Riley: {En, I gathered enough evidence to bankrupt the whole LeClére lineage.}

Riley’s system: {Wow, host! You are so amazing!}

Riley closed his laptop. He investigated most of Silvia’s harem members, and the least things he could find were on the Fester family. Their old fashioned way of lifestyle cut them from the outside world. Everything against the law had to be resolved personally as no electronic devices were allowed in their mansions. The rules were very strict. Even the phone Earl Fester used to call Silvia was a public one.

Because the experiments they did were morally unacceptable, they decided to hide them within a sea of good deeds, like building hospitals and doing charities. Everyone in the circle knew the Festers were evil, but nobody had the evidence to prove it.

Riley raised his lips devilishly as he put on his suit to obtain some evidence personally, ‘Earl Fester’s daughter mysteriously disappeared after he and Silvia visited the restaurant where she worked. Such a coincidence~’

The Fester family had a firm foundation, but teaming up with the female lead was their biggest mistake.

Riley’s system: {Host! Silvia just fell off the window!}

Riley: {Show it to me.}

Riley put Silvia under twenty-hour surveillance, and it seemed like she would resolve to do her old trick: acting like a victim and pretending to be ill and injured to gain everyone’s pity and attention.

When she sat up at the window, he thought she would threaten to kill herself, but there was none of that. On a closer look, it looked like she lost her balance. A dangerous smile appeared on his lips. Karma finally came to punch the female lead back in the face.

Riley also found out the person who might be behind the incident where his system’s monitoring malfunctioned: Victor Egerton.
