Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 172 Throw The Cat Out 

Rachel frowned at what was happening. Seeing Victor’s tall figure approaching, she stepped back, unsure of what to do next. The sofa was right behind her, leaving no more room to retreat.

“Vic…” “Ah!” Alicia’s piercing scream echoed across the room. “Meow!” A shrill yowl followed after. Before Rachel could figure out what was going on, a snow-white figure hit the corner of the tea table and fell to the floor. Then, it let out a weak cry. It was the cat! Rachel quickly picked up the kitten and stroked its fur soothingly, completely ignoring Victor.

“Meow!” The kitten raised its head and looked at Rachel with teary eyes. After recognizing that it was in a safe place, it nestled in her arms comfortably but continued to tremble in fright. Seeing its poor state, Rachel felt sorry for the kitten. It must have been subjected to so much pain. “Victor, look…” Alicia’s face turned pale and her eyes were filled with tears. Only then did Rachel notice that there were several scratches on Alicia’s arm. Her skin had several cuts and blood was slowly oozing out.

After hearing the commotion, the servant in charge of watching the kitten hurried to come in. She immediately cowered in fear at the sight of Victor’s menacing scowl. “Who let the cat inside the house?” Victor asked angrily. The servant trembled and knelt at his feet, lowering her head in shame and not daring to make a sound.

“I did.” Rachel helped the servant back up and handed the kitten to her. “I took it in because I thought it was feeling lonely outside.” A dark light suddenly flashed across Victor’s eyes, and his aura was cold and intimidating. Rachel knew that her cat had hurt Alicia, so she took full responsibility for the incident.

She didn’t expect that Rachel would apologize so soon. Clenching her teeth in frustration, she shed a few tears and turned to Victor. “My arm hurts, Victor.” Victor went to her

the cat out!” Victor ordered in a loud voice while removing Alicia’s arms from his waist. He couldn’t afford to risk Rachel’s health at this stage of her pregnancy. “Wait!” Rachel stopped the servant and was about to take the cat back. Seeing that Rachel was going to touch the cat again, Victor’s face twisted into a snarl. He shouted at the servant, “Didn’t you hear what I said? Throw that filthy thing out!” After being screamed at once again, the servant didn’t dare to delay

the nape and hurriedly walked out. “No!” Unable to reclaim the cat, Rachel turned to Victor with an imploring gaze. “It’s in no condition to fend for itself out there. It’s still injured and might starve to death. If you want to get rid of

this moment, she knew that she had made a huge mistake. If only she had listened to Lukas, then none of this would have happened. After all, it was better to live in despair the entire time than to receive a glimmer of hope and have it snatched away in the end. Boom! A flash of lightning suddenly shot across the night sky, and the deafening sound of thunder rang out. Rachel’s heart sank as raindrops began to fall outside. She paused for a second, unsure if she should continue

front of Rachel to restrain her. With the human barricade blocking her path, Rachel stopped dead in her tracks. The woman stomped angrily and protested, “Get out of the way!” “Miss Bennet, there will be a storm soon. It’s not safe out here. You’d better go back inside.” The nervous servant in the middle lowered her head. If they didn’t stop Rachel and let her be drenched in the rain,
