Chapter 750: Chapter 747: Worth It to Be an Amorous Ghost

"Chloe, you—calm down..." Adam said, sidestepping her attack.

Chloe spun around and lunged at him again. Adam had just regained his footing and had no time to dodge. He could only turn his body and raise his arm to block the blow.

Blood dripped from the dagger onto the floor. The wound wasn’t deep, but it was enough to thoroughly infuriate Adam Warren.

As Chloe stabbed at him again, he shot out his uninjured hand and seized her wrist in a tight grip.

Chloe cried out in pain as her grip loosened. The dagger fell to the floor with a CLANG.

Before she could react, Adam shoved her onto the nearby sofa.

’She’s just a fragile woman. As if I can’t handle her.’

Even though the sofa was soft, the fall left Chloe dazed and confused. She woozily pushed herself up, her eyes scanning the floor for the fallen dagger.

But Adam was already standing over her, a vicious smile on his face as he watched her struggle to her feet. The moment Chloe got up, she lunged at him, but he swung his arm and slapped her hard across the face.

The slap was incredibly forceful. Chloe collapsed onto the sofa and lay motionless for a long time, as if she’d been knocked out.

Adam glanced at his injured arm. Blood was still streaming from the cut. He spat on the floor, cursed under his breath, and grabbed a random strip of cloth to tie around the wound as a makeshift tourniquet.

Once he was done, he looked back at Chloe. Her body stirred. She lifted her head, her gaze piercing through her disheveled hair. She looked a mess, but her eyes were sharp and filled with merciless hatred.

"Adam Warren, don’t get cocky. As long as I’m alive, I will kill you!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Adam Warren clicked his tongue, a humorless smile playing on his lips. "Oh, I’m so scared!"

With that, he bent down and reached out to pinch her cheek, but Chloe twisted her head away. "Adam Warren, what do you think you’re doing? I’m warning you, don’t try anything! Even though my mom was kicked out of the Grant Family, I’m still the eldest daughter of the Grant Family! If you dare touch me, my dad won’t let you get away with it!"

"Hah. He won’t let me get away with it? And what exactly is he going to do to me?"

"What will he do to you? What do you think? Your life is worthless. If my dad wants you dead, it’ll be as easy as crushing an ant."

Adam Warren raised an eyebrow, his expression turning flippant. He reached out and stroked her cheek again. "Hearing you put it like that makes me want to test the theory. Let’s see if Cedric Grant really can kill me after I’ve had my way with you. Besides, even if I die, it’ll be worth it."

He sighed dramatically. "Ah, I was originally thinking I should set a more romantic mood for a little beauty like you, but you’ve completely ruined it! Since we’re not worried about romance anymore, then I’m done playing nice!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Adam lunged at Chloe.

It was only then that true panic and fear gripped Chloe. She threw her hands up, desperately trying to fend him off as she instinctively began to scream for help. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

The apartment wasn’t soundproof, and Adam was afraid her screams would draw attention. He viciously slapped her across the face again and again. Instantly, Chloe went limp and lay there, completely still.

A lecherous grin spread across Adam Warren’s lips...

A taxi pulled up to a slightly rundown apartment building, and Jean Jarvis scrambled out. As soon as she was out of the car, she saw Chloe Grant’s red sports car parked out front. Her heart sank. She looked up toward the top floor.
