Dad , Mom , whats going on ? Louis asked , feeling uneasy , as if something bad was 1/11 Chapter 38 : Who Is That Woman ? + 5 Points about to happen .
He was consumed by a strong sense of dread .
I think I heard a woman screaming , he said suddenly , and then froze , Sister ! He rushed toward Hopes room but stopped at the door of the study next to it .
Inside the study , a tall , muscular bald man was holding onto a womans long , dark hair .
The woman was on the floor , crying in pain , her sobs and screams filtered through the desk and the mans body .
Louiss whole body froze , his fists clenched so tightly that they trembled .
Sylvia had gone out with Noah last night , and his mother was behind him .
The only person in that room had to be Hope ! 2/11 Chapter 38 : Who Is That Woman ? + 5 Points His rage erupted uncontrollably .
He kicked open the door and charged at Griffin , knocking him over and pummeling him .
Who gave you permission to touch my sister ?! Bastard ! Ill kill you ! After taking a few punches , Griffin began to sober up .
He had been working out for years and with one powerful punch , he sent Louis flying .
He scrambled to his feet , still dazed .
The Newton family hadnt contacted him in a week , and he had thought they had given up on collaborating with him .
He hadnt expected them to suddenly invite him for dinner yesterday , claiming it was to meet Sylvia before discussing the fake engagement .
3/11 Chapter 38 : Who Is That Woman ? + 5 Points Seeing Sylvia , he found her even more to his liking than he had imagined .
He was so pleased that he drank a little too much and then … It seemed like Mr.
and Mrs.
Newton had said something about giving him their daughter for the night .
When he woke up in the morning , his head was pounding .
He found himself lying on top of a naked woman .
In matters of intimacy , Griffin never held back ! He hadnt even bothered to check who the woman was .
Griffin ! You went too far ! Mrs.
Newton shouted .
We were going to agree to let Sylvia marry you , but now youve done this to Hope ! 4/11 Chapter 38 : Who Is That Woman ? + 5 Points We were kind enough to let you stay the night , and now youve done something like this ! You even forced a woman ! Mr.
Newton added , his voice full of anger , as if he were about to defend Hopes honor .
Today , we wont let this slide ! Either you marry Hope and our families become in laws , or youll end up in prison ! Griffins anger surged .
He realized he had been set up .
I see it now .
You never planned to let Sylvia marry me ! You just wanted to lure me here , get me drunk , and then send Hope to my bed ! he spat .
You think you can threaten me with this ? I hate being manipulated ! Do you have the guts to go through with this ?! 5/11 ChChapter 38 : Who is That Woman ? + 5 Points BuBut Griffin , realizing he had no wayayout u thelsese circumstances , had no choicede but renaanain silent .

y 6/6 Chapter 38 : Who Is That Woman ? + 5 Points Mrs.
Newton and Mr.
Newton were caught off guard by the question .
They didnt care about Hopes life or death , but … Louis gaze was filled with despair and icy coldness as he looked at them .
Originally , they had deliberately kept Louis at home instead of letting him go out with Noah and Sylvia for the night .
They had noticed how obsessed Louis had become lately , constantly thinking about Hope , his sister .
They wanted Louis to stay and see for himself how filthy and despicable Hope was ! But they never expected Louis to witness their scheming instead .
Louis … Mr.
Newton called out .
Louis snapped out of his daze , tears streaming from the corners of his reddened 8/11 Chapter 38 : Who Is That Woman ? + 5 Points eyes .
He didnt dare believe Griffins words ! He wanted to hear it from his parents directly : Dad , Mom , is this true ? Mrs.
Newton panicked .
Of course not ! Griffin got drunk and took advantage of Hope himself ! We just thought we couldnt let him off easily , and besides , its a good thing for Hope to marry Griffin .
The Berry family is one of the most prominent business families in City B.
She wont be at a disadvantage marrying into their family ! Louis , dont be too attached .
Its just an engagement for now .
Well talk about marriage later .
Louis let out a bitter laugh .
After she donates a kidney, right ? Or after the deal with 9/11 Chapter 38 : Who Is That Woman ? + 5 Points the Berry family is finalized ? Enough ! Mr.
Newton roared , his anger flaring .
Well explain this to you later ! After snapping at Louis , Mr.
Newton turned to Griffin , his tone cold and commanding .
Mr.
Berry, its time to make your choice .
Before you make your choice , can we first confirm who the victim is ? Griffin asked , his voice dripping with sarcasm .
After listening to the entire exchange , Hope finally emerged from her room .
The others were stunned to see her walking out unscathed .
Everyones eyes immediately turned to the shadow hiding behind the curtains .
Griffin jerked the curtains aside , and only 10/11 Chapter 38 : Who Is That Woman ? + 5 Points then did they see the womans face .
It was Quinn , whose disfigured face was now visible , and she was crying out , Master , Madam , please save me .
Griffin recoiled in disgust .
Damn ! You guys are trash ! You set me up and even got me involved with this old hag ! Mr.
and Mrs.
Newton were shocked but had no time to process what was happening .
Mr.
Newton continued with his threat : Even if the person you forced wasnt Hope , shes still one of our servants ! This is a crime of assault ! Youll either cooperate , or youll go to prison ! No matter what , the collaboration had to be finalized !
