Chapter 6 No Matter How Well You Dress, You’re Still Worthless

• Upon hearing these words, Joseph’s expression immediately turned nasty. “Kay, I know you’re not in a good mood, but I defeated multiple bodyguards to see you. It’s truly disheartening if you still don’t understand my intentions.”
• Joseph believed Keira was upset because Victor had overpowered her again. Hence, she lost control of her emotions and treated him nastily. He patiently reassured Keira in an attempt to calm her down. “I know you’ve suffered greatly by staying by Victor’s side. But Kay, you must understand where I’m coming from. I have genuine feelings for you. It’s just that Victor is too domineering, which is why we can’t be together…”
• Keira impatiently observed Joseph put on an act and interrupted him without hesitating. “Since we can’t be together, let’s break up.”
• “You want to break up with me?” The gentle and delicate farce that Joseph had been putting on began to crack, and he looked at Keira in disbelief. “Did he force you to do it?” His voice grew louder, and he suddenly felt uncertain when faced with Keira’s nonchalant expression.
• He sized up the expensive clothes on Keira’s body, the sparkling diamonds on her slender and fair fingers, and the exquisite necklace on her delicate collarbone, all of which were expensive. His gaze gradually darkened, “Or are you after his money? Are you willing to stay by a madman’s side for money?”
• Although she now found the man repulsive, she had been refraining from harming him. However, Keira lost her temper when she heard him call Victor a madman. She stood abruptly, picked up a Greek vase from the nearby cabinet, and walked towards Joseph determinedly.
• Joseph looked at Keira incredulously as she swung the vase heavily onto his head without hesitating. The vase shattered, and debris scattered all over the floor. Joseph was momentarily stunned before he fell heavily to the ground. He felt a buzzing sensation at the back of his head and instinctively touched it with his hand, only to find it covered in blood.
• “Do you want to repeat it? Who are you calling a madman?” Keira shouted. At that moment, the elegant Keira seemed very vengeful. She held the broken vase neck stained with blood in her hand and stomped on Joseph’s chest forcefully with her high heels. The intense anger in her bright eyes was evident.
• As Otto helped Victor walk downstairs, they happened to witness this scene. The doctor with gold-rimmed glasses adjusted his frames and looked at Keira in disbelief. “Torry, are you sure you don’t need me to look for a priest?” Otto wasn’t joking. He genuinely believed that Keira was possessed.
• Joseph had caused trouble at Rose Grove Manor before, infuriating Victor, who ordered the bodyguards to injure Joseph. Keira had almost fought Victor to the death at the time.
• Otto had never expected that he would one day see Joseph covered in blood after being beaten by Keira. He wasn’t the only one who was surprised. The bodyguards and the butler, Mr. Cruz, were also clearly frightened by this scene as they stood at the side.
• Victor didn’t respond to Otto. All his attention was focused on Keira since going downstairs.
• On the other side, Keira hadn’t noticed the person behind her. She had a sharp gaze and continued kicking Joseph. Keira watched as Joseph’s face turned purple, and he gasped for breath. Just as he was about to collapse, she withdrew her foot. She casually smashed the broken vase neck on the floor next to Joseph before turning around and pretending to disdainfully brush off dirt on her body as if she was extremely disgusted.
• “Are you even worthy to be compared to my husband? I’m breaking up with you because I fell in love with Torry. But isn’t it really because you’re unworthy? Isn’t this your fault?”
• Keira walked to the side of the sofa, picked up the blanket thrown on it, and casually draped it over her shoulders. Her murderous aura from earlier disappeared instantly, and she looked like a demure and noble lady again.
• “You’re not as handsome, wealthy, or have as good a physique as my husband. He’s so dazzling, and you pale greatly in comparison. I must have been blind in the past to think that you’re better.”
• “But Joseph, you can’t expect me to be blind forever.” Keira paused for a moment. She lifted the teacup on the table and took a sip before continuing. “You need to face reality. No matter how well you dress, you’re still worthless with your nasty character.”
• She called me her husband again! Victor’s footsteps quickened slightly impatiently. Keira had always regarded Victor as her enemy when it came to Joseph. This was the first time he had experienced a woman defending him. If this feeling was a drug, Victor would gladly succumb to it! He went forward, stood by Keira’s side, and used his other hand to embrace her firmly.
• Keira was enjoying berating Joseph and didn’t notice Victor’s presence. As she suddenly fell into a familiar embrace, the man’s woody fragrance made her heart flutter uncontrollably. “You smell so good!” Keira raised her head and kissed the corner of Victor’s mouth lightly. Her heart was filled with joy as she looked at Victor’s stunned face. Keira looked up and smiled as bright as the sun.
• Considering how the effects of anesthesia wouldn’t wear off so quickly, Keira’s expression turned solemn again. She glared at Joseph nearby and wanted to tear him apart. This piece of trash must have awoken my husband.
• Joseph remained on the ground for a long time before he no longer felt dizzy. He was furious when he recalled Keira’s earlier words and saw the two interacting intimately. Upon seeing the intimate actions of the two and recalling Keira’s earlier words, he almost exploded with anger.
• Due to the Flint family’s humble background, they had only achieved their current status with the Sunter family’s support. Therefore, he was always sensitive when interacting with Keira. Keira used to be very considerate and thoughtful towards him. She refrained from asking him to buy luxury brands beyond his means and wouldn’t make such hurtful remarks.
• He could no longer maintain his gentle and considerate facade. He clenched his teeth and revealed his genuine, fierce demeanor. “Keira Sunter! Even if you’re throwing a tantrum with me, you must know your limits!”
• Victor was delighted at the turn of events but quickly turned and looked at the disheveled man on the ground. He didn’t miss the evident animosity in Keira’s eyes.
• Keira narrowed her eyes slightly and cast a piercing gaze toward Joseph. This stupid man. He really speaks in such a repulsive manner. If he says that, Torry will misjudge me and think that I’m being kind to him because I’m having a tiff with this despicable man!
• The impulse to hit him surged uncontrollably within her again! But Victor’s arms acted as an impenetrable barrier around her. He held her tightly and prevented her from moving.
• Keira felt helpless and could only retort verbally. “Throwing a tantrum?” Keira sneered tauntingly, crushing Joseph’s already fragile self-esteem. “Joseph Flint, are you being delusional? Go see a doctor if you’re hallucinating. Don’t come to my house and spout nonsense!”
• “I always knew you were trash, but at least you were still worth something. You’re utterly worthless now. Why are you living like this?!” As she cursed at Joseph, she couldn’t help but feel the urge to stand up.
• Upon sensing her movement, Victor became even more anxious. He couldn’t help but hold Keira tightly in his arms. The wound on Victor’s right arm was bleeding again, but he didn’t let her go. His voice was cold and restrained, but he couldn’t control himself from trembling. “Kay! Don’t!”
• Keira felt like her heart was torn into two as it tingled and ached faintly. Victor is powerful, influential, revered, and unrivaled in Dornellos. He’s now humbling himself and feeling so uneasy before me. How deeply must I have hurt him?
