"What did you say? Alyssa and Jasper took Maggie away?"
In the bedroom, Josh held his unwilling wife, Clarissa, on the bed. He aggressively ripped her
nightgown, ready to start his weekly "routine".
After Jameson assumed his position and gained his father's favor, his stress levels soared. Now, as
long as he had the energy, he would force Clarissa into fulfilling his lustful desires. He did all he could
to get his wife to bear children as soon as possible to continue the family's legacy.
His father cherished children greatly and yearned for a growing family. Josh held the position of the
elder child in his generation. If his own child became the first grandchild of the generation, it would
further solidify his standing in the family, providing him with a point of competition against Jameson.
However, as he was about to enter, the emergency call caused him to lose his arousal.
"Are you sure? Double Trouble took the girl away?"novelbin
Josh got out of the bed naked. He furiously picked his trousers up from the floor and wore them. He
panicked as if he was caught cheating.
"The people we sent to spy on them said that Jasper's secretary, Xavier, came to escort Maggie. It
couldn't possibly be anyone else but them."
His secretary sounded anxious. "Plus, the spy said Maggie didn't look like she was forced to leave with
them. She left with them willingly. M-Mr. Josh, could the girl have changed her mind and decided to
bear witness in court?"
"How am I supposed to know? Do you think I know what is running through her mind?"
Josh's face contorted into an angry scowl, a stark contrast to the friendly demeanor he usually
projected. Clarissa trembled in fear.
"T-Then, what are we supposed to do? Please instruct us, Mr. Josh."
Josh tightened his belt. His eyes were devilish. "It doesn't matter if Maggie changed her mind willingly.
She is a nuisance and needs to be removed!"
Clarissa's eyes widened in terror when she heard it. She tightened the grip of her hands on the blanket.
The secretary clarified the instruction, "Are you saying to get rid of her?"
"She is now with Double Trouble, so let's not stir the hornet's nest. It will be difficult to make our move if
they become suspicious."
Josh walked to the window and lowered his voice. "Let's wait until the girl gets back. Then, find a good
time to get it done. The faster, the better."
"Got it!"
"Also, don't use our people."
Josh's lips curled into a sinister smile. "Whoever is responsible for this business should settle this."
After the call, he had lost his lustful desire. He wore his clothes and headed out hastily.
"J-Josh..." Clarissa called for him fearfully.
"What?" Josh was annoyed and barely looked at her.
They were married for political reasons and had a weak foundation in their relationship. Plus, after so
many years of marriage, Clarissa had not bore any children for him. The Sparks family had no power,
so he never respected his wife in any way.
Clarissa's inexplicable emotions were tugging her as she said, "Josh, I-I think let's just forget about it."
Josh stared at her with a frown. "Forget about it? What are you talking about?"
"Let the girl go. She is very pitiful."
Before Clarissa could finish, Josh glared at her with his reddened eyes. He lifted his arm and slapped
her hard across the face.
