Chapter 3

The crisp sound was especially harsh in the quiet room. “Ah!” Jane let out a scream. She gritted her teeth in shame and anger. “You b*stard! You hooligan! You pervert! You... You molested me in the name of ‘medical treatment’. I will kill you!” She took out the scissors under her pillow, ready to fight to the death. “Hey, don’t be mad. Don’t you notice that you’re feeling much better?” Marcus said hastily. ‘What?’ Jane was taken aback for a moment. She was surprised to find that the pain had indeed eased a bit. “What the hell is going on?” she could not help asking. “I gathered my energy into that slap just now, so I could help with the pain in your body.” Marcus explained. “So I’m fine now?” Jane asked again. “You’ll need a dozen more blows before you can be cured,” Marcus said. Hearing this, Jane’s pretty face flushed so red that it was as if she was bleeding. Jane was of blue-blooded nobility and had never been beaten before, let alone in such an area. Now, she needed more than a dozen hits... “Fine…” After hesitating, Jane could only hold back her shame and lie on the bed with a blushing face, revealing her seductive curves. If an outsider saw this scene, they would be extremely shocked. The number one beauty in the East Sea, a goddess in the hearts of countless people, was posed like this! Marcus could not hold back his smile. ‘Little girl, you were so proud just now, but now, you’re lying down obediently.’ “I’m going to start!” Marcus raised his right hand again and continued to slap her. After a dozen slaps, Jane wiped away the sweat on her forehead. The cramping pain in her lower abdomen disappeared completely. All she felt now was a burst of relief. “Marcus, thank you! I owe you a favor! I’m sweating all over now, so I’m going to the bathroom to take a shower. No peeking!” With that said, Jane twisted her slender waist and walked into the bathroom. Not long after… Buzz! Jane’s phone, which was on the table, vibrated. Marcus walked over and saw that someone named ‘Pesky Fly’ had sent her a few messages. [My beautiful Jane, I miss you so much I can’t sleep!] [Stop avoiding me!] [You are destined to be my woman in this life!] Upon seeing the messages, he raised his eyebrows. This ‘Pesky Fly’ was probably the guy Jane mentioned before who pursued her crazily. Marcus had promised to act as a shield for her when necessary. In the next moment, he picked up her phone and sent a voice message to the other party. “My friend Jane is taking a shower. We will be busy later! Bye!” After he said that, the corners of Marcus’s mouth raised slightly, revealing a narrow smile. Immediately, he blocked and deleted Pesky Fly’s number! … The next day, inside the living room of the Lincoln family. After eating a sumptuous breakfast, Frank ordered, “Jane, you will drive Marc to Dynasty Hotel later. Tell Waterson that Marc has become the new owner of the hotel!” “Sure.” Jane lowered her head. She did not look at Marcus’ face. After the special treatment last night, the relationship between the two had become a little strange. “Jane, I’m full. Let’s go!” Marcus got up and walked out of the villa. Jane’s car, a silver Porsche 911, soon arrived at Dynasty Hotel in the city center. The two had just gotten out of the car and were about to walk into the hotel. Vroom! A new Lamborghini Aventador sped over, drifted for a while, and stopped in front of the two of them. Immediately, a handsome and confident young man got out of the car. His entire outfit from head to toe was branded, showing off his wealthy family background. Holding 999 roses in his hand, he walked forward quickly. “Jane, why are you avoiding me these days? I called you all night last night, but you blocked me!” Jane frowned and replied coldly, “Henry Lowe, how many times have I told you that I am not interested in you at all? Please don’t pester me in the future!” After saying that, Jane turned her head and walked toward the door of the hotel. Marcus, who was at the other side, could see the situation very clearly. This guy named Henry was the guy who sent Jane the harassing text messages last night and was nicknamed ‘Pesky Fly’. “Stop! Jane, are you going to embarrass me like this?” Henry became furious. He strode over and forcibly pulled Jane’s arm. “How presumptuous!” In a flash, Marcus stood in front of Henry like an iron wall. “Lowe, don’t you understand English? Jane has already rejected you, so why are you still stalking and pestering her like a mangy dog? If you don’t want to be beaten, get lost now!” ‘Mangy dog?’ When Henry heard that, he was furious and cursed. “Boy, are you tired of living? Aren’t you just Jane’s bodyguard? Who gave you the guts to talk to me like that?” “Hmph!” Marcus sneered. “Who said I was a bodyguard?” “Then, what’s your relationship with Jane? You can’t be her boyfriend, right?” Henry deliberately provoked. “No!” Marcus shook his head. Then, he put his arm around Jane’s slender waist and pulled her into his arms. He said domineeringly, “Jane is my fiancée! “Last night, we slept in the same room! "From now on, stop harassing her, or I'll beat you so bad that your own mother won’t be able to recognize you.” … ‘What?’ Upon hearing this, Henry’s face changed wildly. He had a look of disbelief on it. “Nonsense! You’re just a nobody. How could you gain Jane’s favor?” At this time, Jane put her arms around Marcus’s arm and took the initiative to speak. “Marcus isn’t lying. I have a marriage contract with him, and last night… We slept together!” Henry’s eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth. “Jane, you must be lying to me. You deliberately asked this kid to act in this play! I won’t believe it unless you prove it to me!” “Um…” Jane hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, her beautiful eyes sparkled as if she had made an important decision. “Okay, open your eyes, and look at this properly!” The next moment, she stood on her tiptoes, craned her neck, and kissed Marcus with her cherry lips. Smooch! It was just a light touch, but she tasted so good. This sudden move took Marcus by surprise, but the fragrance on his lips made him feel capricious. After some time, those lips left his. Jane’s pretty face was flushed. She did not know why she made such a bold move. It was as if she was possessed. At this moment, Marcus came back to his senses. He then looked at Henry and said, “Now, you should believe in my relationship with Jane, right? If you still don’t believe me, we can kiss more.” “You!” Henry flew into a rage, and his face turned green with anger. "You punk! How dare you steal my woman! I will kill you!” Henry raised his fist and swung it at Marcus. Boom! He was a martial artist, so his punches were powerful and heavy. If an ordinary person got hit, they would definitely be seriously injured. “Ah! Duck!” Jane became worried. After all, this happened because of her, and if Marcus got hurt because of this, she would definitely feel guilty for the rest of her life. “Jane, don’t worry! A weakling like this can’t hurt your fiance!” Marcus shot out like lightning and grabbed Henry’s fist before snapping his wrist. Crack! The sound of bones breaking could be heard. “Ah!” Henry let out a heart-piercing scream. His facial features were contorted, and he gasped in pain. “Get lost! Stop harassing Jane, or I’ll beat you up every time I lay eyes on you!” Marcus’ tone was serious, and he was definitely not joking. “You punk. You win this time. I admit defeat today. But the Lowe family is not weak! Just you wait! I will make you pay the price in blood soon!” Henry swore, then fled in embarrassment while hugging his injured wrist. … “Jane, I’ve chased the annoying fly away. Let’s go to the hotel,” Marcus said lightly, not taking Henry’s threat seriously. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Jane frowned, her pretty face full of worry. “What’s wrong?” Marcus asked. “Sigh…” Jane sighed, “You shouldn't have hurt Henry... You’re in big trouble now! Even if my father steps up, he might not be able to protect you!”
