Wilhelmina's expression changed, and she yelled furiously, "You… What are you up to, you rascal? I hate you. Are you seriously going to pester me until I can't get rid of you?
"I'll never like you. Even if you begged to become my secret husband, I'd still think you're beneath me. Though I won the bet between us, you didn't keep your promise. Instead, you humiliated me in front of so many people at the banquet. I can't let you off like this!"
"That's nonsense! I stand for justice, so how could you chide me? Besides, Haven Net isn't officially released yet. How could you guarantee that its market price will surpass Zenith Capital? Perhaps it won't even be worth 10 billion dollars." Jack scoffed.
Yet, Wilhelmina refused to back down and stubbornly remained silent.
"It seems you're refusing to admit your mistakes!" Jack's gaze turned sinister.
"Go away!" Wilhelmina shouted angrily.
Hearing that, Jack's expression turned serious. He warned coldly, "Bitch, are you still putting on airs now? You're bringing about your own downfall!"
As Jack approached her menacingly, Wilhelmina mustered her courage and declared, "Go away! Don't come near me!"
But Jack wouldn't back down that easily. "You're courting death!"
If Wilhelmina admitted her mistakes, he might have shown her some mercy. However, she was unrepentant—she still made excuses after doing so many terrible things. Why would he let her off easily?
Suddenly, Jack moved closer to her and stared at her attractive and beautiful face. Then, he pulled her into a tight embrace.
All at once, her unique fragrance invaded his senses. It was so sweet that it captivated him.
Wilhelmina screamed, but Jack held her tightly, admiring her body.
Wilhelmina trembled in fear. "If you hurt me, I'll finish you off!"
"Do you think your threats work on me? You're worth nothing to me." Scoffing coldly, Jack continued, "You should've known the consequences the moment you challenged me."
At the previous banquet, Jack's revenge plan was thwarted after the two unexpected guests arrived. However, he wouldn't let Wilhelmina escape this time.
Jack wanted to rip off her clothes, but Wilhelmina fought back violently. Yet, her struggles were in vain because Jack was just too strong. The more she struggled, the greater his lust grew.
Upon realizing that she couldn't escape, Wilhelmina fell into the depths of despair. She didn't want Jack to notice her vulnerable state, so she bit her lip to stop the tears from falling.
