Seeing this man's lecherous gaze wash over her body, Patricia began to get goosebumps.
She couldn't help but shiver in fear.
‘What is he trying to do?’ Seeing the fright displayed on Patricia's face only increased his desire for her.
This was the kind of thing he enjoyed.
"Gorgeous, no need to be afraid.I will be kind to you from now on."
As soon as he said this, he stretched out his fat palm to touch her face.
But Patricia deflected it with her hand.
"Sir, please behave yourself!"
Patricia stared coldly at the man and put on a brave face.
However, her cold expression did the opposite of what she'd hoped.
The man rubbed his hands in excitement and said greedily, "You are an aloof beauty.I like you more by
the minute!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man quickly pounced on Patricia.
Instinctively, she kicked him in his stomach.Suddenly, the man let out a pig-like squeal.
Covering his stomach, he began to roll on the ground.
Staring at Patricia in resentment, he shouted, "You are nothing more than a bitch! Do not pretend to be
innocent in front of me.From the news, I was able to learn that you've slept with many men!"
Finishing his rant, with her hands on his stomach he rolled around on the ground in pain again.
Without looking at the man, Patricia stood up and strode towards the door.
She needed to leave this place as soon as possible.
If she remembered correctly, right before she fainted, she indistinctly saw Yolanda and her daughter.
This was apparently their plot against her.
Thinking of her mother, she became worried about her well-being.
Although Giselle had married into the Lowell family, Yolanda and her daughter still harbored resentment
against her.
This meant that, if possible, they would look for a chance to seek revenge against Giselle.
With thoughts of her mother filling her mind, Patricia didn't notice the man approaching her from behind
with outstretched hands.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, he grabbed onto her black hair.
He then yanked her back into the room.
"Bitch, do you really think you are worth something?" the man said in an angry and contemptuous tone.
He then tossed her back onto the bed.
Patricia felt a stabbing pain in her back and let out a muffled groan.
Just as she was about to get up off the bed, he pressed on her hard, making her unable to move a
muscle.
"What...do you want?"
Patricia looked at the man in shock with fear in her eyes.
Suddenly, the man slapped her across the face.
She felt her left cheek burning, and there was a trace of blood between her lips and teeth.
He had struck her so hard she became dizzy.
Before she could regain her senses, he ripped her suit open and said greedily, "Gorgeous, you are
undeniably worth one million dollars!"
Hearing this had stunned Patricia.
By the time she returned to her senses, she had realized that Yolanda had sold her to this man.
Using all the strength she had, Patricia tried to break free from the man's grip.
Unfortunately, she wasn't strong enough to escape his clutches.
She was like an ant in front of this man.
Patricia was not the type of person who was afraid of death.
So, even if it meant dying, she wouldn't allow this man to lay his hands on her.
Scratching hard at his chest with her long nails left streaks of blood across his chest.
The stench of blood filled the air.
Pained, the man looked at his chest and roared, "How dare you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man raised his fist to strike her.
Seeing this, Patricia closed her eyes instinctively, allowing him to hit her.
She would rather die than be touched by other men.
The moment she closed her eyes, Zac's face appeared in her mind.
She didn't know why she thought of him.
She guessed she was praying and hoping against all hope that he would show up and rescue her.
"How dare you!"
A deep, domineering voice boomed, filling the room.
Before Patricia could open her eyes, someone's screams echoed throughout the room.
Patricia quickly opened her eyes to see Zac standing in front of the man with one foot resting on his
stomach.
"Tell me, which part of her did you touch just now?"
Zac asked coldly, looking maliciously at the man.
When he had seen the man on top of Patricia, he had lost his head.
Flying into a fury, Zac had given the man a hard kick in the back.
‘How dare this man touch my woman? He must be courting death!’
"I didn't touch her!" the man responded cautiously, looking at Zac pleadingly.
"Mr.Reynolds, I..."
"You are lying!" Zac stamped on the man again.
"I'll give you another chance," he said in a majestic and dictatorial manner.
Seeing the fierceness in Zac's eyes, the man swallowed subconsciously and said in a trembling voice,
"I only touched her hair and hands, and..."
The man didn't dare finish his sentence.
"And you slapped her across the face!"
As soon as Zac said that, he raised his hand and gave the man a hard slap.
It was so hard that even Zac felt his palm stinging him slightly afterward.
He had intended to strike this man once more, but the man passed out after that first slap.
Glaring at the man, Zac casually kicked him.
When he turned around, he saw Patricia staring at him.
He was so focused on teaching the man a lesson that he had almost forgotten her.
When he saw the dull look in Patricia's eyes and her torn clothes, Zac got highly furious.
For the first time, he realized he was unable to protect his woman.
"How...are you feeling now? Did you get injured?"
Zac said in a soft voice, squatting down quickly beside her.
He was heartbroken seeing Patricia like this.
Patricia blankly looked at Zac upon hearing his words.
Pursing her lips, her eyes were filled with tears.
Then she threw herself into Zac's arms, wrapping her hands tightly around his neck.
"Zac, I was so scared!" She sobbed.
She cried in Zac's arms for a long while.
From the moment she saw Zac, relief washed over her, but this also put her in an aggrieved state.
At that moment, she just wanted to throw herself into Zac's arms and cry.She couldn't help but want to
rely on him.
"You don't have to be afraid anymore.I'm here with you."
Feeling her body trembling slightly, Zac held her tightly and gently stroked her back.
Hearing her weep like this made him feel sad for her.
This wasn't his first time seeing her cry, but today she seemed particularly pitiful, like a porcelain doll
that was about to break apart at any time.
If he had arrived any later, Patricia would have been in great danger.
Thinking of this infuriated him and also made him feel remorseful.
It took Patricia a while to calm down and stop crying.
When she looked up at Zac, her face was flushed.
"Zac, thank..."
Before she could finish her words, Zac pressed his lips to hers, silencing her.
She didn't stop him.
Instead, she let him kiss her.
Zac kissed her so passionately that unconsciously her heart beat faster, and her breath became rapid.
When Zac noticed these changes in Patricia, a smug smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
As he was about to kiss her more, she became motionless in his arms, unable to respond to him.
At the moment, Zac frowned and moved his mouth away from her, staring at her unhappily.
