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.

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
