Chapter 18: Chapter 18

It’s just Iris Harris.

She asked for trouble by bringing him medicine on her own; he never begged her to do it!

Besides, if she hadn’t been clinging to him all the time before, he wouldn’t have misunderstood!

In the end, it was all her own fault!

Plus, he didn’t like her anyway, so even if she slept with another man, what did it matter?

And it’s just as well; this way, she wouldn’t have the face to come looking for him again!

That’s what he thought, but the frustration in his heart became increasingly unbearable with these thoughts.

Damn Iris Harris!

Why exactly was he getting angry over an indiscreet woman like her!

Thinking this, the frustration in his heart just wouldn’t dissipate.

The black Cayenne rushed into the villa area and stopped at the entrance of Iris’s villa. The lights were on inside, inexplicably relieving Brandan Hyde’s heart.

She’s home...

Thinking this, his heart still felt uneasy. Brandan Hyde frowned, got out of the car, went to the villa’s entrance, and rang the doorbell.

Soon, the door was opened.

Seeing the middle-aged woman who answered the door, Brandan Hyde’s eyes turned cold. He took a step forward expressionlessly, scanned the room, and then asked in a chilly voice, "Where is Iris Harris?"

Faye was the housekeeper Iris hired, responsible for her daily meals and room cleaning.

"Miss Harris hasn’t returned yet."

The young man in front of her was extraordinarily handsome but exuded an overwhelming aura that frightened Faye, causing her voice to tremble.

She thought it was Iris returning when she heard the doorbell, but upon opening the door, she was met by this fierce young man instead.

"Not back yet?!"

Brandan Hyde’s voice raised slightly, a hint of a cold draft emanating from his delicate features. While Faye quivered with fear, he commanded, "Call her!"

He didn’t have Iris’s phone number saved in his phone.

"Yes, yes..."

Faye nodded and quickly used the landline at home to call Iris.

Yet, after several attempts, the calls didn’t go through.

"... Could something have happened to Miss Harris?"

Faye couldn’t help but feel worried too, turning to Brandan Hyde, "Mr. Hyde, do you..." She wanted to ask if Brandan Hyde knew about Iris’s situation, but before she could finish, Brandan shot her a fierce glare and said in a gloomy voice, "How would I know?"

After speaking, he didn’t leave directly but instead headed upstairs.

The last time he came here, Faye wasn’t around.

Brandan Hyde stood at the door of Iris’s bedroom and pushed it open.

The room was arranged the same as the last time he came, with a faint fragrance in the air— it was Iris’s scent, fresh and lightly cold.

Like the faint fragrance of white plum blossoms.

His gaze fell to the neatly made bed.

That day... right there, amid anger and thunder, he slept with her.

A subtle reaction rose within him as he recalled her hidden tremors that day, her powerless cries, and the way she repeatedly called his name: "Brandan, Brandan, Brandan..."

And now, was she lying on that man’s bed, calling another man’s name?

Clenching his fists tightly, Brandan Hyde suddenly felt an urge to kill someone!
