Chapter 759

Seeing her staring at him in panic and confusion, Rock quickly regained a bit of composure after a few seconds. He suppressed his frustration, and his handsome face immediately showed disappointment, pain, and heartbreak.

It almost made Winnie think that the person she saw just now was an illusion.

Rock held her tightly, his eyes filled with feigned helplessness, "Winnie, do you really dislike me that much?"

"I...I don't..." Winnie curled up into a ball, feeling both defensive and desperate, "I don't know why this is happening, I'm sorry, Rock."

She wanted to make love to him, but when the moment came, she just couldn't do it.

They had tried twice already, but she resisted. Maybe it would never work out?

But last night, when Lawrence kissed her, she even trembled and felt confused.

She didn't have that feeling of resistance or disgust at that time. In fact, she found Lawrence's scent familiar and charming. If she hadn't kept her composure and left the study, she might have been kissed into a daze by him.

Her body was still damnably accustomed to Lawrence and couldn't accept another man.

This conclusion also made her very distressed.

"Rock, it's my fault, it's my problem. Maybe we should..." Winnie mustered the courage to say.

"Don't say it!" Rock suddenly interrupted her, his red eyes filled with fear and despair. He held her tightly, his voice hoarse, "Winnie, how can you bear to say such hurtful things to me? I've loved you for so many years, waited for you for so many years, and finally married you. You are almost my dream. I want us to be together for the rest of our lives. If you leave me now, I don't know how to live."

Winnie was stunned and speechless.

Was she really that important to him?

She wasn't moved; instead, she felt like a heavy stone was pressing on her heart.

Rock's words were like a shackle, binding her, making her feel guilty and helpless.

Her lips moved, wanting to say something more.

Rock immediately interrupted her, gently touching her temple, "Was I too rough and scared you? Alright, I won't force you anymore. Winnie, don't overthink it, get some rest tonight."

He gently comforted her with a few words and then left the room dejectedly.

But as soon as he closed her door, Rock's gentle eyes immediately turned into a look of ferocity and hatred.

He returned to the study, opened a bottle of liquor, and poured it into his mouth.

Then he made a call to Carlos's hospital, speaking in a low, harsh voice, "Today, Winnie requested an MRI for Carlos to check his brain nerves. Absolutely do not let him have it! Find a way to deal with that Mark, and use a fake MRI result to fool her."

Rock sneered. He originally thought that after getting revenge on her through the Blanchet Group, he would still show her some mercy and keep her by his side as a plaything.

Now, no more. He would make her pay for today's rejection, making her life a living hell!

The next morning.

Rock, with a wound on the back of his head and a night's worth of pent-up anger, arrived at the Harrington Group.

He immediately called Ishara over, locked her in the office, and had her serve him in various ways to vent his anger.

The two were entangled on the desk.

The door was suddenly forced open, "Rock, how dare you fire me?"

Sierra stormed in with a face full of resentment.

Seeing everything in the room, Sierra was shocked. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and when she saw the disheveled Ishara in Rock's arms, she was instantly furious!

She rushed over, "So that's why you transferred me from being your secretary and put me on leave at home, Rock, you have a new lover!"

"Get out." Rock held the frightened Ishara in his arms, turned his head angrily, "Assistant, come and get Sierra out of here."

"I'm not leaving!" Sierra was completely enraged, her pent-up anger exploding, "I've served you for so long, and you just throw me away like that? I want to see who this woman really is!"

She took a step forward, grabbed a file, and threw it at Ishara's head.

Ishara immediately turned her head, her delicate face, resembling Winnie's, showing a cold smile, "Mr. Harrington, is this your secretary? So uncultured, even daring to lay a hand on me?"Ishara arrogantly pushed Sierra away and snapped, "Do you know who I am? Do you think you can hit me?"

Sierra looked at that face, stunned. Wasn't this Winnie's stepsister?

She looked at Rock in disbelief, her mouth curling into a mocking smile, "Rock, you're something else! You actually got involved with Ishara. What, she looks a lot like Winnie, doesn't she? You can't get Winnie, so you settle for a substitute. You're hypocritical, despicable, and pathetic!"

Rock's eyes immediately turned dark and sinister, like a deep secret being painfully exposed. He quickly fastened his belt and walked over, grabbing Sierra, his once gentle eyes now cold and menacing, "Shut your mouth! Who do you think you are? You were transferred because you spoke out of turn in front of Winnie. Do you still not understand why I abandoned you? I promised you that if you got pregnant, I would give you status, and you used that to try to make Winnie aware of your existence? Then I have no choice but to kick you out of Trento City."

Rock mercilessly dragged Sierra to the door, calling for his assistant with a cold voice, "Settle three months' salary for her. Sierra, since you don't know what's good for you, the villa in Trento City is no longer yours. You're not pregnant, so go back to Lymington, and don't make me say it again."

"You, bastard! I stayed with you for months, and I can't even get a villa! Have you forgotten that when Winnie betrayed you, I was the one who stayed with you for that month? When she came back, I moved out of your villa without a word. Now you're involved with Ishara, I wonder if Winnie would vomit out her food if she knew you were rolling around with Ishara."

"Try saying more, Sierra, don't test my limits. Hide back in Lymington, and you can still be safe." Rock said no more, directly throwing her out of the office.

Inside, Ishara leisurely put on her shirt, her belly already rounded. She got up from the floor, seeing a flash of disgust in Rock's eyes, but she immediately clung to him, "Mr. Harrington, shall we continue?"

"Go to the lounge," Rock said coldly.

Ishara unwillingly smiled, but she had no choice. She had to rely on Rock to regain her status.

After Ishara went into the lounge, Rock called his assistant, his eyes narrowing darkly, "Sierra saw something she shouldn't have. Keep an eye on that fool, and if she doesn't know how to keep quiet and seeks her own death..."

The assistant immediately understood and nodded.

As soon as Sierra left the Blanchet Group, her mind filled with anger and impulse, she made a call to Winnie.

"Hello, who is this?" Winnie answered.

"Winnie! It's Sierra, I need to see you right away!"
