After a long while, there was still no response. Liuzi sent out three question marks, "Where's Grayson Quinn?"
Rocco Cooper replied with his usual nonchalance, "He should have left."
Dylan Harper exploded, "Damn! Grayson Quinn pulls this stunt again, every time he keeps us hanging and then just vanishes."
The group chat erupted in a tirade against Grayson Quinn.
Grayson Quinn looked at the uproar in the chat group, smiled mischievously, and despite the flood of messages, calmly put away his phone and placed it back in his pocket.
Looking at Audrey Wood, who was still sitting on the ground in a daze, he kindly reminded the other two in the room, "Hey, stop flirting, what to do with this person? Another shot of the pain injection?"
With long fingers drumming on the sofa, Grayson Quinn wore a faint smile on his lips, his fox-like eyes dangerously fixed on Audrey Wood.
Audrey Wood shivered violently, instinctively feeling that those eyes were like a knife slicing into her flesh. At the mere mention of "pain injection," her mind filled with painful memories, her face instantly turned pale, and fear filled her eyes.
In that moment, Audrey Wood regretted her earlier arrogant words immensely.
And never again dared to underestimate Aurelia Shaw.
What was the pain injection about?
Aurelia Shaw did not ask Grayson Quinn, but she guessed it must be related to a certain man. Audrey Wood, having fallen into his hands, would be lucky to get out alive. However, with Grayson Quinn targeting her, she wasn't going to be that lucky.
Aurelia Shaw stood up, slowly walking towards Audrey Wood.
Audrey Wood's nerves were tense, her pupils fixed on Aurelia Shaw, her body trembling slightly as she saw Aurelia Shaw stop in front of her. Looking down at her, despite her moderate height, exuded an imposing pressure. Her cool, jet-black eyes were calm and unruffled, but seemed to seep with a chill.
The chill made Audrey Wood's bones shiver.
She swallowed, a sense of dread as if awaiting a death sentence.
She wanted to escape.
However, her legs were too weak to move.
Her entire body felt suppressed by an invisible pressure, unable to budge.
Staring blankly at the woman's beautiful, icy gaze, her entire being plunged into bottomless fear.
"Audrey Wood, why do you have such a death wish?" Aurelia Shaw's lips curled into a faint, cold smile, "I originally thought, as long as you don't appear in front of me again, I'd let it go. Is it bad luck, or did you hope to walk right into the line of fire?"
"Do you think you can fight me?" Aurelia Shaw said calmly, "Do you think I'm a pushover you can take advantage of? But in reality, crushing you is easier than stepping on an ant. After so many years in society, don't you understand this principle yet?"
Audrey Wood's body shook like a sieve, unable to utter a single word.
"Oh? Just let it slide like that?" Surprised that Aurelia Shaw was walking away, Grayson Quinn asked, feeling there would be no more drama to watch.
"What else?" Aurelia Shaw yawned disinterestedly, her nose slightly red and her eyes misting with a hint of moisture, which caused those watching to feel a pang in their hearts, "Does someone like that deserve me going through the trouble to torture them?"
Her indifferent gaze swept over Audrey Wood and moved away without a ripple.
Audrey Wood felt completely drained of strength, staring blankly ahead, Aurelia Shaw's calm and cold words echoed again and again in her mind.
She had no more value.
Not even the value to be used or tormented.
