“You!” Grace was extremely upset, but Logan was indeed an immoral person who would make things hard for Amelia, a five-year-old girl. He even threatened her using such a despicable reason. Although he maintained a gentlemanly appearance in front of her, he was actually horrendous!

“I don’t have much patience. I’ll give you ten seconds. If you don’t go to the bedroom, I’ll do you right here and right now! If this kid sees something she shouldn’t, it’s none of my business!” Logan smiled sinisterly.

Grace was enraged. Behind his gentlemanly facade, Logan was simply a beast!

She would rather die than give herself to such a beast!

“… Five, four, three, two, one, time’s up! It seems you like thrilling stuff too. Let’s do it in the kitchen then!” Logan took off his shirt and walked toward Grace.

“Stop! Don’t come over!” Grace grabbed a boning knife from the knife rack behind her and put the sharp blade directly at her own neck. Looking as though she was ready to die, she shouted, “If you try to force me, I’ll die here immediately!”

The fact that a woman Logan had taken a fancy to would rather die than let him touch her made him feel infuriated. But he soon saw Amelia, whom Grace was shielding. He could only see her face, and she was glowering at him.

Logan laughed out loud. “You’re threatening me with your life, huh? Sure, go ahead and slit yourself. As long as you slit yourself and die in front of me, the scene of blood flowing nonstop and splattering everywhere is definitely going to look horrifying. If that little girl behind you gets frightened to the point of losing her mind, you can’t blame me!”

Logan deliberately made the scene sound extremely terrifying, causing Grace to pale. Her hand holding the knife began to tremble.

“Enough! Stop! You’re a devil!” Grace dropped the boning knife and broke down in tears.

She would rather die than let someone like Logan defile her. She wasn’t afraid of dying, but if she really died right in front of Amelia, that scene would certainly become a nightmare that would traumatize her forever.

Although she had only spent two hours with Amelia, she felt that Amelia was adorable, smart, and obedient. She even stood out bravely to protect her just now. How could Grace bear to let her witness such a horrifying scene?

The things that the devilish Logan said were like daggers piercing through Grace’s heart and leaving her with no way out!

Although Amelia couldn’t fully understand what they were saying, she could totally sense the maliciousness in Logan’s words and the fear and resistance of Grace.

However, Amelia was just a five-year-old child. She was powerless and could only bawl loudly out of fear, “Mm… Daddy! Daddy, where are you… There’s a baddie here…”

Grace’s eyes were full of tears, and she hurriedly squatted down to hug Amelia, fearing that Logan would lose his temper with Amelia again. While wiping her tears, she comforted, “Amelia, don’t cry, don’t cry. I’m here with you…”

Seeing that two of them were crying and hugging each other while the boning knife was on the ground, Logan smirked and immediately said in annoyance, “Enough. Are you done crying? I’m waiting for you to get the deed done. Hurry up!”

Grace looked up and stared at Logan with eyes full of hatred. But she knew that she couldn’t avoid it at all.

Grace wiped the tears on her face, slowly stood up, and said with a look of determination, “You can have me, but you must send this child home.”

Logan smiled contemptuously. “Grace, do you think you still have the right to bargain with me? Today, I will tell you the truth. This kid is very important to me. I will never return her! But if you obey me, I will let her stay here and accompany you. Otherwise, I will hand her over to others, and I can’t guarantee if they’ll abuse her or hit her.”

Grace bit her lower lip hard. She knew that he would never let Amelia off.

In that case, she only had one option.

Grace closed her eyes in agony and only opened them again after a long while. She gently wiped the tears on Amelia’s face and said in a tender voice, “Amelia, go play in your room for a while, okay? You can watch cartoons, play with the teddy bear, or read some storybooks. I… have to chat with this uncle for a while. We’ll bake a cake later, alright?”

Amelia’s large eyes were brimming with tears. She was smart enough to guess that there was definitely something wrong between Grace and Logan, the ultimate villain.

“Aunt Grace, let’s go find my daddy, okay? My daddy is super strong. He can definitely defeat this bad guy!” Amelia whispered into Grace’s ear.

Although she thought that she was whispering, she wasn’t exactly soft, especially since they were standing so close to each other.

Logan naturally heard everything she said. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he strongly felt that the tender-looking Amelia was as detestable as her father!

Grace had a bitter smile on her face. Amelia was still too young to know what it meant to be held hostage. If she could, she would take Amelia away immediately!

She forced herself to smile and shook her head. “This uncle is fierce, but he’s not actually a bad guy. Amelia, go to your room and watch some cartoons. Once I’m done, I’ll come keep you company. By then, your father may be here to pick you up!”

When Amelia heard that her father would come over soon, her eyes instantly lit up. After hearing that Logan wasn’t a bad guy, Amelia pouted. “Okay then. You have to hurry up and finish chatting soon! I don’t like being alone.”

“Okay, I promise that I’ll be there with you soon.” While speaking, Grace pulled Amelia into a small room beside her. She then turned on the television and placed Amelia’s teddy bear and fairytale coloring books next to her. Then she closed the door and headed to the master bedroom with Logan.

As soon as they entered, Logan pounced onto Grace!
