Owen was even harsher than she was. “Didn’t I tell you not to call the cops? What the bhell /bwere you us doing?”

Peggy’s eyes instantly turned red. “You’re yelling at me?! Do you even know what that bold /bbbastard /bdid while you were out? He tried to molest me! I was in the shower, and when I turned around, bI /bbsaw /bbhim /bbprying /bopen the bathroom door. Do you have any idea how traumatizing that wasb? /b

And now you’re ming me for calling the cops? If you didn’t want that to happenb, /bwhy’d byou /bileave /ibme /bhere alone to deal with him?! Owen, you’re disgusting!”

Clutching her towel tight, Peggy shot a furious re at both Owen and Timothy, then bstomped /bbupstairs/b.

Owen didn’t stop her, but turned and stared coldly at Timothy.

Timothy wasn’t fazed in the slightest. He shrugged, totally unbothered, clearly not seeing Owen as any sort of threat.

Then he headed upstairs himself, broke into Lily’s room, and climbed right into hervender–scented bbed /blike he owned the ce.

The sight made Owen feel physically ill.

If Timothy was willing to go after Peggy, there was no way Lily would be safe bif /bshe came back.

Owen had no choice but to call a friend and ask if his mom could temporarily stay in one of his bvacant /bproperties.

He had just arranged things for Lily when he heard loud footsteps again from upstairs.

Owen looked up with a frown and saw Peggy storming down the stairs. She’d thrown on a few random pieces of clothing, her hair was still wet and messy, and she was dragging a huge suitcase behind bher/bb. /b

Owen grabbed her you think you’re going?b” /b

Peggy sneered. “If I can’t fight him, I can at least get the hell away! I’m going back to my parents‘! bYou /bcan deal with that pervert yourself!”

Owen yanked her back hard. “You’re not going anywhere! If you go, are you seriously not gonna tell byour /bparents about Timothy?”

He won’t even let her leave?!

Peggy was livid. “Now you want to control what I say, too?! Screw thatb. /bI’m leaving. Let’s see what you bcan /bdo about it!”

Owen lost his patience and shoved her back.

Peggy stumbled and fell t on the floor, her suitcase bursting open beside bher/bb. /b

Inside were loads of jewelry and antiques–valuable stuff.

Most of them looked familiar to Owen. Clearly, Peggy had looted them from Lily’s roomb. /b

He pointed at the mess on the floor like he’d caught her red–handed. “You’re btrying /bto walk away Saunders property?”

Peggy, flustered, snapped back, “I’m the daughter–inw of the Saunders familyb! /bTheir bproperty /bis bmine /btoo! I was just bringing some gifts to my parents. What’s wrong with that?”

Owen didn’t bother arguing. He grabbed her by the shoulders and dragged her back toward bthe /bbedroomb. /b

“Until Timothy is dealt with, you’re not going anywhere.”

“You dare, Owen!” Peggy shouted as he shoved her onto the bed.

But before she could finish her threati, /iOwen slipped a glove onto his hand and cuffed her bwrists /bbto /bbthe /bsolid wooden headboard.

Peggy yanked and struggled, but the cuffs didn’t budge. She screamed at him, hoarse and furiousb. /b“You son of a bitch!”

Owen locked the door behind him and stood in the hallway, his expression dark.

The Saunders family had be aplete mess. Everything had spiraled out of control. But he couldn’t give up. He wouldn’t.

There had to be a way to get rid of Timothy.

He looked at the handcuffs still in his hands, as if making a decision.

If Timothy was going to corner him like this, then so be it. He’d go all in.

Peggy screamed for hours, tied to the bed. She howled all afternoon, until her throat dried up and bher /bvoice gave out.

Meanwhile, Owen ordered takeout and sat in the dining room eating alone.

He didn’t call anyone. He just ate quietly by himself.

After a while, Timothy came downstairs. His eyes roamed over the feast on the table without a hint of shame.

Owen ate hungrily, but his face was full of resentment.

Timothy’s gaze flicked across the room andnded on Owen. He immediately picked up on the hostility.

These city folks, so used to their cozy lives and superior positions, always thought the world operated underw and decency.

But once they ran into someone like him–someone with nothing to lose they didn’t know what bto /bbdo/bb. /b

And besides, Timothy still had dirt on him.

He snorted in amusement. The more he saw Owen forced to put up with him, the more bpleased /bbhe /bbecame.

Feeling hungry, he walked over to the wine cab, pulled out a bottle, opened it, took a sniff–then, dissatisfied, tossed it straight into the trash.

Owen turned his head and watched coldly as a rare vintage Amalfi crashed into the garbage bin and spilled everywhere.
