No Mercy, No Forgiveness

Speople, once missed, are gone forever.

Shortly after Maureen left, on his way back, Alex saw Elizabeth standing not far away, her face full of anger.

Thinking about last night, a cold glint flashed in Alex's eyes.

He walked over slowly without saying a word.

“Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

Elizabeth still hadn't realized her place. She thought that in the Sutton Family, she would be pampered like a

princess just like in her own family.

“What should | say?”

Alex retorted.

Elizabeth choked: “We're engaged. I'm your fiancee. Why can’t | touch you?”

She cared about her pride and didn’t ask Alex about Maureen.

After all, if it cout that Alex liked Maureen, it would be her own face that was lost.

“Didn’t | say it?

After we get married.”

Alex's tone was gentle but tinged with impatience.

Elizabeth clenched her hands: “You're too conservative, aren't you?”

Alex's disgust for her reached its peak. Just then, his assistant Lisa called him.

He answered the phone, said a word, then soothed Elizabeth: “Whatever it is, we'll talk when | get back.”

Elizabeth had no choice but to hold back her temper.

“Then I'll go hfirst.”

Elizabeth had wanted to move into the Sutton Family home, but Alex said his place was still being renovated. He

told her to move in after the new house was done.

Alex watched Elizabeth's car drive off before picking up his phone again. Lisa hadn't called him at all.

He dialed a number: “Stop the Bentley that just left the Sutton estate. Get smen to take the

passenger away...

An hour later.

ay

Elizabeth lay unconscious in a dim room where several men stood around a camera.

Outside, a silver-gray car idled with Alex sitting motionless inside.

His subordinate cautiously asked: “Alex, is this wise?”

Elizabeth was still Alex's publicly engaged fiancee. If these men actually gang raped her and Alex later regretted

it, they'd all be dead.

Alex replied indifferently: “Perfectly fine. Disobedient dogs need discipline.”

Leaning back, he closed his striking eyes and signaled to proceed.

Blood-curdling screams soon tore through the shadowed room.

After what felt like ages, everything ceased. The men departed with the camera.

Stpassed before Alex emerged from the car, gesturing for his men to kick the door open.

Inside the room, Elizabeth was barely clothed, covered in bruises, her hair disheveled, no longer looking like the

haughty young lady she once was.

When she saw someone enter, she instinctively trembled and cried out frantically, “Don’t cnear, don’t come

near!”

Alex quickly walked up to her, took off his coat and draped it over her, “Elizabeth, it's me.”

His gentle voice instantly brought Elizabeth back to her senses. She looked up at Alex, hugged him tightly, tears

streaming down, “Alex!”

Alex suppressed his disgust, didn’t push her away, but said to the person behind him:

“Take Miss Elizabeth to the hospital.”

Elizabeth cto her senses a bit, thought about what had happened, and upon hearing Alex say to go to the

hospital, immediately refused, “I won't go to the hospital, Alex, | won't go to the hospital.”

Alex patted her shoulder, pretending to comfort her, “Don’t worry, no matter what happens, our engagement

remains unchanged.”

“Alex, someone took photos and videos of me, can you helpfind those people, can you not despise me?”

Elizabeth knew that in this state, Alex must have noticed everything.

“Don’t worry,

I'll handle everything.”

After Alex finished speaking, he glanced toward the door. Bodyguards entered, picked up Elizabeth, and carried

her away.

Elizabeth still wanted Alex to see her off, but remembering what those people had done to her, she felt too

ashamed to insist.

Alex silently watched her leave. He took off his coat, wiped his hands, and tossed it into a nearby trash bin.

Elsewhere.

Karaville lay blanketed in white. The river had frozen solid under thick ice. Maureen leaned back in her seat,

staring out the window. Warmth inside the car fogged the glass, blurring the world outside.

Maureen turned her gaze to the wedding favor in her lap, curious about its contents.

She pulled out an exquisite palm-sized box from the bag and opened it. Her eyes widened when she saw what

lay inside.

Inside rested a delicate silver ring. Engraved on it were two sets of initials Maureen had carved herself as a child.

Originally, this ring was part of a pair. Maureen kept one, Alex the other.

When Maureen married Geoffrey, she'd asked him about the ring. He'd replied, “What ring?”

Back then, Maureen assumed it was lost.

Now she realized: had she pressed further, she’d never have mistaken her man.

Maureen traced the engraved letters: XSLNC.

The abbreviation on this ring is also wrong; it belongs to Geoffrey.
