Rong Jingyang ignored him and left with Du Ruoxin in his arms.
"I didn't touch her!"
Christiano shouted as he saw the man about to disappear around the corner.
What?
Rong Jingyang stopped, wondering if he had misheard.
Christiano didn't touch Du Ruoxin?
Was that possible?
Their clothes were all off…
Seeing Rong Jingyang stop, Christiano explained, whether he believed him or not, "Don't let her know."
"I'll handle those dirty things, don't let her be sad."
Huh?
What did that mean?
Rong Jingyang's expression darkened slightly. Without a word, he disappeared around the corner.
Christiano wasn't sure if Rong Jingyang had agreed.
He rarely explained anything to anyone. If Rong Jingyang didn't believe him, he would die.
Christiano's gaze sharpened, his eyes turning fierce.
Mu Li, following Rong Jingyang's orders, went to pick up Rong Doudou.
The butler also rushed forward to take orders.
"Call Clara to see me!" Christiano commanded before turning and entering the house.
The butler replied "Yes" and then led Mu Li to the younger lady's room.
"Knock knock—"
He knocked on the door and said, "Miss Morgan."
Clara was already asleep, but the bright car headlights were too dazzling, and the honking horns were particularly jarring. She was woken up.
Groggily, she got out of bed and stood by the window to check.
Rong Jingyang?
It's bad, something is going to happen!
Clara's sleepiness vanished instantly. She paced back and forth in the room, trembling.
At this time, at this hour, J must have already gotten into bed with Du Ruoxin, right?
Would they fight?
She wasn't afraid if they fought. J had more people, while Rong Jingyang only brought two.
Besides, Rong Jingyang was trespassing, so he was in the wrong from the start.
Clara pressed her ear against the door, listening nervously and fearfully to the commotion outside.
They were fighting, they were fighting.
Why did it stop again?
The fight didn't last long, and the hallway returned to silence. Clara was anxious to death but didn't dare to open the door to watch.
Until footsteps grew closer, seeming to be heading towards her room?
Clara quickly got back into bed and pretended to be asleep.
"Knock knock—"
"Miss Morgan, wake up."
The butler's voice came from outside the door. Clara knew she had to wake up. Pretending to yawn, she opened the door, "What is it so late?"
The butler bowed and said, "The master wants to see you."
A fleeting look of fear crossed Clara's face, but she quickly forced herself to remain calm. "I know."
Trembling, she walked into the master bedroom. The man hadn't turned on the lights.
Rong Jingyang's car headlights downstairs were still on, illuminating the room brightly.
Christiano stood by the window, his back to her, looking at something unknown.
Clara suppressed her nervousness, stepped forward, and hugged him from behind, "J… Ah—"
As soon as her hand touched Christiano's waist, he grabbed it.
He was so strong, as if he were crushing her bones.
Pain, pain, pain—
Clara's eyes immediately welled up with tears. "Wuwuwu—"
Christiano flung Clara away and raised his hand, delivering a loud and merciless slap to her face.
"Pfft—"
Clara was knocked to the ground.
Immediately after, the man's foot stomped heavily on her shoulder.
"Ah—"
Clara repeatedly begged for mercy, "I was wrong, J, I was wrong, please let me go."
Christiano leaned down and his voice, like a devil's, sent a chill down her spine as he whispered in her ear, "Don't ruin her impression of you."
"Clara, how much you and the child can get from me depends on how much Xin'er protects you."
"If one day, she is disappointed in you, I will make you disappear from this world."

ps: Gong Zi wants to say something for Christiano:
Regarding Ivy and Clara, Christiano chose to cooperate with one and remain indifferent to the other. These two completely different attitudes are not because he is mentally unstable, nor is it because Gong Zi's writing is flawed.
It's because Du Ruoxin dislikes Ivy, and no matter what Ivy does, Du Ruoxin will not be sad.
But Clara is different. Du Ruoxin wholeheartedly treats Clara well. Moreover, Christiano discovered that he could use "the child" to tie Du Ruoxin down, so he played along.
Furthermore, Christiano would not allow Clara's betrayal to hurt Du Ruoxin's heart.
His sister, he wishes her to always maintain that innocence, to always be pure and happy.
Life is already so tiring. The only thing he guards is her smile.
