C3 I will Reward You Well Tonight!

The long-sleeved dress, embroidered with magnolias, had a high collar that made her neck look elegantly long. A string of red jade beads around her neck added a touch of regal elegance, and a matching red hairpin held her hair in an elegant updo. This ensemble, paired with Mo Ya's stunningly beautiful face, exuded an air of sophistication and grace.

Mo Ya was strikingly beautiful, with a captivating allure that was anything but conventional. If not for the dress's dignified restraint, her natural allure might have driven any man wild. Yet, her eyes always held a hint of fear, contrasting sharply with her lovely face, a contrast that made Yem Mohan want to protect her fiercely.

"At tonight's charity auction, let me know if anything catches your eye. I'll make sure you get it. Both the An family and the Mo family will be there."

"You mean my father will attend?"

"Father? If that man deserves the title, you can keep calling him that."

A flicker of embarrassment crossed Mo Ya's face. Indeed, how could the man who conspired against her deserve to be called her father? If not for his dealings with the An family, she wouldn't have ended up marrying into that family, and those terrible events wouldn't have happened on her wedding day.

She knew her father and the An family were involved in the assault by that faceless man, though she didn't know their exact roles. Moreover, she had a stepmother and stepsister who had never been fond of her.

Thinking of the man whose face she couldn't recall sent a shiver down Mo Ya's spine. He had been relentless and merciless, ignoring her cries and struggles, like a machine with no regard for her well-being. The memory of that night still filled her with shame and fear.

The only thing she could remember was the scar on the man's lower back, but what good did that do? Her innocence was already destroyed, and because of that, her marriage and her life were in ruins.

She was the victim, yet everyone blamed and criticized her. Why? On what grounds? She was determined to uncover the truth, no matter the cost. After all, she had nothing left to lose.

From the moment she was taken by that man, the whole world knew she had become Yem Mohan's mistress. Life couldn't get any worse than it already was. Besides, Mohan had the means to uncover the truth about everything, and that was enough. Even if she truly became his woman, she was willing.

"I know what to do now, don't worry."

Yem Mohan finally heard something that pleased him. He thought to himself, how could his woman be someone everyone could bully?

He smiled and gently touched her earlobe, a gesture both natural and intimate, sending a shiver down Mo Ya's spine.

"Tonight, I'll reward you well, I promise."

Such suggestive words made Mo Ya's recently calmed heart race once again. Was the reward he mentioned what she thought it was? Was it?
