The Domineering Boss is Addicted to the Convict novel Chapter 465

However, no one in the room answered him.

He turned and went straight into his room, then into hers through the door that connected their rooms.

It was dark in her room. The window was shaded by the curtains, and the lights were not turned on. He could only see through the dim daylight that filtered through the curtain.

However, this did not affect his sight.

Yi Jinli looked around the room and soon saw Ling Yiran in a corner. Her body was curled up while her arms were folded around her knees. Her face was buried in between her knees as if she was trying to curl herself into a shrimp.

He remembered that he had seen her in a corner in the same posture once before...

Suddenly, he felt as if his heart had been pricked by something. The video he saw earlier replayed again and again in his mind.

In the video, she was slapped in the face before being dragged out of the mall. Even though it was hard to hear what they were saying in the video because of the distance, he could sort of guess what the Hao family had said to her.

There was a flash of anger in his black eyes. It was directed at the Hao family and himself.

He should have warned the Hao family not to harm her! That way, she would not have been so humiliated today.

"Sis..." he crouched down slowly and called out to her softly.

She remained in the same position—motionless as if frozen.

Yi Jinli picked Ling Yiran up as he spoke, carefully holding her in his arms as he walked over to the sofa. Then, he sat her down on the sofa and examined her hands and feet as well as her skin that was exposed. He saw that there were no other injuries except the bruising on her face.

Ling Yiran, however, was taken aback by what he said. He knew all about it? "What do you know?"

"I know what happened to you today. Someone took a video of the incident and posted it online," he said.

Her body immediately stiffened, and she bit her lower lip again.

Even though she had mentally prepared herself to accept the embarrassment and not dwell on it, the thought of the humiliation being recorded and posted online seemed to magnify it an infinite number of times.

Why did she have to suffer all this? She had done nothing wrong, so why was she still suffering from the consequences?!
