Chapter 380

Sophia stood to the side, a cold sneer curling her lips. "What a pathetic excuse for

a man. Fancy yourself a top lawyer, but you can't even protect yourself. Now look at you-crippled and useless. All those years in law school were a waste, weren't they?"

Her words prompted raucous, unrestrained laughter from the others in the room.

Vincent's face flushed a deep, angry red, but there was nothing he could do. He was powerless, forced to watch helplessly as Hank Brown dragged Claire into a nearby bedroom.

Hank tossed Claire onto the bed and climbed on top of her, intent on doing her harm.

Despite the searing pain wracking her body, Claire fought back with everything she had, desperate to break free. Her hand fumbled blindly along the nightstand until her fingers closed around a table lamp.

Without hesitation, she swung the lamp as hard as she could, smashing it down onto Hank's head.

Hank howled in pain, clutching his scalp as blood began to stream down his forehead, painting his face a ghastly red and making him look even more like a demon in the dim light.

Enraged, he straddled Claire, slapping her over and over. Her cheeks quickly swelled, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
