"Claire, what are you doing?" Leo can't help roaring.

Claire turns her head slowly and looks at Leo. Her expression is dull. There is still hatred and madness in her eyes.

Leo is stunned by her eyes. Then he seems to think of something and looks at his desk. He sees the open drawer and the two things Claire holds tightly.

One is Jade's agreement to sell Claire to Leo as a slave, and the other is Claire's father's death notice.

It's all obvious.

Leo steps over the obstacles on the ground to Claire. He grabs her collar and yells, "who let you in my study?"

There is hatred and madness in Claire's face again. She jerks Leo back. She slams those things in her hand on his face. She laughs, "Leo! I didn't expect you to lie to me from the beginning to the end! We are not married at all. There's only one agreement to sell me to you as a slave! You told me my father was alive. But he died a month ago! Leo! How do you explain to me?"

Leo is nearly knocked down by Claire. She throws those things in his face. She seems to be insulting him. He becomes angry.

Leo sneers scornfully. He shouts, "did I cheat you? No, that's because you're stupid. Do you think I would marry a slut's daughter? Claire, do you know why I've been torturing you? Because your father couldn't stand torture and died, I transferred all the hatred to you!"

"What do you say?" Claire's eyes are wide. She looks at Leo in shock and says incoherently, "you killed my father?"

Leo sneers and says nothing.

Claire's pupils suddenly dilate. Her sanity is once again possessed by anger. She quickly picks up the keyboard on the desk and tries to smash Leo.

Claire's eyes are red and she cries, "Leo! I'll kill you!"

Leo was almost knocked down by Claire just now. It is an accident. Now he won't be knocked down by Claire.

Leo reaches for Claire's keyboard. He grabs her keyboard and pushes Claire back.

But Claire's body falls back because of inertia.

Claire falls to the ground and her back hits the desk. She feels a sharp pain. Her arm touches the pieces of glass on the ground. Her hand is hurt and bleeding.

Claire is in tears. She has no strength to stand up. She thinks Leo killed her father. She feels the sky is falling.

Claire cries like a wronged baby.

She is so sad that she is dying. Bryce and her father were killed by Leo! But she can't get revenge!

Now Claire doesn't just hate Leo. She has to make him suffer and pay!

Looking at the suffering Claire, Leo is touched for a moment, but at the same time he has reason. Claire, I suffered a thousand times more as a child than you do now!

Leo can't help sneering. "Now that you know it, I might as well tell you directly! Claire, your mother was lewd and ruined my father's and my mother's marriage, which led to my mother's death. So I won't let your family go. I tortured your father after your mother died. I will torture you after your father died. Don't try to run away from me for the rest of your life. I will slowly torture you to death!"

"Leo! You bastard. You have no humanity! You must die!" Claire has tears on her face. She raises her head and growls at Leo.

"You are not qualified to comment on me." Leo sneers scornfully. He calls some maids, "help me drag this bitch back to her room! Lock her up and make her never leave her room!"

"Yes!"

Several maids come in and drag Claire out. There are many pieces of glass in the study. As they drag Claire by, Claire's feet are scratched.

Claire's hands and feet are bleeding but she can't feel the pain because her heart is more painful.

After Claire is dragged away, Leo sits in the chair in the study. His cold eyes are fixed on the two pieces of paper on the ground. His heart is numb.

In fact, he received Claire's father's death notice the day before. He sighs slightly and closes his eyes wearily.

He has killed Bryce. He doesn't care that Claire misunderstands him. And he can torture Claire with it. He wants her to suffer.

His mother died, so he's going to make her family pay!

...

After Claire is dragged back to her room, the maid bandages her and shuts her up alone. Someone comes in to deliver food to her at dinner time.

The room is dark and the lights are not on. Claire feels cold and shivering. She curls up. But no matter how thick the quilt on her body is, she can't warm her cold heart without temperature.

Claire falls asleep in the dark. She has a nightmare. Leo kills her father, Bryce and many others in front of her.

Claire is so scared that she keeps kneeling for mercy. She cries and stops him. Her forehead is bleeding but Leo doesn't stop.

Leo has a bloody smile. He stares down at her and satirizes her. "It's no use. I tortured your father after your mother died. I killed Bryce after your father died. Bryce is dead now. Claire, you're the only one."

Leo wants to kill her!

As Leo approaches with a bloody knife, Claire shakes her head and keeps retreating. She reaches the cliff.

Claire accidentally falls off the bottomless cliff. Leo laughs.

"No!"
