After speaking, Tabitha hung up immediately and called Colette again.
While standing on the corner, Colette spotted her. When she called again, Colette quickly moved aside
and answered the phone. “Tabby, wait a few more minutes. I’ll be right there.”
At that moment, a white towel suddenly appeared from behind and covered Tabitha’s mouth.
Tabitha fought hard but eventually blacked out.
Upon spotting the hooligan assaulting Tabitha in front of the door, Naomi called him immediately. “Have
you lost your mind? There are cameras all over outside the private room.”
The gangster wearing a cap replied nonchalantly, “You don’t have to worry about it. I can handle this.
Just give me the money when it’s done.”
Naomi only added, “Enjoy yourself and film the video.”
“All right,” replied the hooligan.
Afterward, Naomi ended the call with a hint of malice in her eyes.
She wondered, ‘Will Malcolm and Emmanuel listen to me if I have something on Tabitha?‘
When Colette heard the conversation on the other end of the line, her heart raced with intensity.
Tabitha was married, yet her bond with Chadwick was as strong as family. Every encounter with them
left her feeling utterly annoyed.
Colette was concerned that if Tabitha went through with the divorce, she might end up with Chadwick.

Repeatedly, she reassured herself that her actions were not causing harm but rather intended to assist
Tabitha in mending her relationship with Malcolm.
She didn’t do anything wrong!
Colette braced herself mentally and stepped out at a deliberate pace. As the hooligan attempted to pull
Tabitha into the private room, she shouted, “What are you doing? I’m a lawyer. All your actions can be
used as evidence in a court of law…”
When the hooligan heard the word “lawyer,” he was terrified. He instinctively pushed Tabitha away and
ran off.
Witnessing the situation, Colette quickly rushed to assist Tabitha, and she couldn’t help but feel a mix
of emotions.
She repeatedly called out Tabitha’s name, but Tabitha remained unresponsive.
Subsequently, Colette called Malcolm.
Upon learning that something had happened to Tabitha, Malcolm rushed over. “What happened to
Tabitha? Why did she come to such a place?”
Malcolm hurriedly walked with his disheveled hair, clearly in a rush.
His presence was so powerful that Colette couldn’t bring herself to meet his gaze. She cast her eyes
downward and told him what had happened that day. Ultimately, she stated, “I didn’t expect this to
happen just because I arrived slightly slower. Fortunately, Tabitha is not hurt. Take her home quickly.”
Malcolm glanced at her, nodded with a knowing look, and said concisely, “Thank you.”
He stooped and gently raised Tabitha, holding her as tenderly as a
precious gem.

She thought, “Tabitha, Malcolm is a genuine gentleman. His affection for you is evident even to me as
an observer. Have a fulfilling life from now on. Don’t get divorced. Chadwick is so good, don’t get him
involved in your entanglement.‘
Not long after Tabitha was carried into the car by Malcolm, she slowly opened her eyes.
She remembered what had happened and was so shocked that she tried to stand up quickly, but
almost bumped her head on the sunroof.
Malcolm immediately reached out to block her head and whispered, “Don’t worry. I’m here.”
Tabitha couldn’t believe her ears when she recognized the familiar voice. She turned and asked, “Why
are you here?”
With lingering fear, Malcolm explained, “Ms. Ingram called me.”
After reflecting for a moment, Tabitha realized that it was likely Colette who arrived a few minutes later
and ultimately saved her.
Her body instantly released the pent–up tension, and she took a deep breath. “Thank you.”
Malcolm had been looking down at her and asked in a hushed tone, “Are you feeling okay? Do you
want to go to the hospital?”
Tabitha shook her head and replied, “No.”
She experienced no headache, dizziness, or any other discomforting
symptoms.

Only then did Malcolm feel a sense of relief. Then, he drove home.

Tabitha was unexpectedly struck by a surge of intense irritability and heat in the incredibly smooth car
ride.
As he drove beside her, Malcolm’s presence exuded a coolness that enveloped her like soothing hot
springs. She couldn’t help but get closer to him.
“What’s wrong with you?” asked Malcolm.
Malcolm had been carefully observing her facial expression. There was a flush on her face, and her
gaze seemed somewhat off. Just then, they reached the door of his house. He stopped the car and
approached her. “Your face is so flushed. Are you feeling unwell?”
As he approached, she sensed his strong presence and felt his intense aura engulfing her completely.
Now, she had no emotional attachment to Malcolm, so she was unwilling to become involved with him
due to her shameful and uncontrollable physical desire.
Tabitha bit her lips tightly to stop the strange sound from coming out of
her throat.
Seeing the strange look in her eyes, Malcolm was more worried and reached out to touch her forehead.
When he touched her, Tabitha felt a tingling sensation down her spine and a stronger desire in her
heart. However, she still defended herself and slapped his hand away. “Stay away from me.”
Malcolm was taken aback by her overwhelming reaction, causing his eyes to darken. “Do you hate me
that much?”
“Yes, I hate you.” Tabitha clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into

her palm, desperately trying to maintain her composure.
She added, “Malcolm, you are arrogant and lack basic moral principles. You bring your homewrecker
back and demand that I abdicate… It’s nothing. After all, I’m the one who forced you to get married to
me. But now I agree to divorce, and you refuse to do so. You even use Grandpa Alaric to manipulate
me, which is really annoying.”
Tabitha was so uncomfortable that she just wanted him to stay away from her. Her impatience bubbled
up, causing her to utter those words. offensively.
Malcolm’s face paled slightly as he asked, “Do you truly see me that way?”
Tabitha suppressed her desire and stared at him. “Yes. Since you are aware of your actions bothering
me, leave me alone.”
Malcolm clenched his teeth, his eyes on the verge of releasing a torrent of
emotions.
Tabitha couldn’t handle his approach and quickly unbuckled to leave the
car.
Malcolm reached out and grabbed her, effortlessly pushing her back into the seat.
He placed one hand on her side and gazed at her with a complex expression, a blend of dull pain and
despair, inching closer to her lips. “Tabitha, you’ll never forgive me no matter what, will you?”
Tabitha found herself surrounded by him on the seat, and his lips were so close that she nearly lost all
self–control. “I’ll forgive you if we divorce. Stay away from me!”
Malcolm couldn’t stand the disdainful look in her eyes anymore, so he suddenly reached out to hold the
back of her head and leaned forward to kiss her. Filled with an overwhelming sense of desperation, he

Tabitha’s eyes widened in disbelief as she pushed him forcefully.
However, his breath was overpowering, enveloping her completely. She appeared to have become
consumed by it, longing for more.
Malcolm was overjoyed by Tabitha’s response and deepened their kiss. with delight. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Tabitha held onto Malcolm’s neck, her strength drained as she allowed him to take control.
Malcolm finally noticed something strange about Tabitha and stopped to look at her. She appeared
bewildered, as though she lacked clarity about her actions.
Malcolm felt his heart sink as he pondered Colette’s words. Suddenly, a peculiar guess darted into his
thoughts. Tabitha appears to have been drugged.
He held his breath and asked, “Tabitha, can you hear me?”
Tabitha moaned like a cat. “Hmm.”
Something seemed to have struck Malcolm’s heart. Concerned about her well–being, he promptly
carried her out of the car.
