After Prison I Rushed into Marriage with a Comatose Tycoon-Chapter 67: Shane Lockwood Forcibly Kisses Eliza Sutton

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Shane Lockwood Forcibly Kisses Eliza Sutton

"Shane Lockwood!"

Eliza Sutton cried out, shouting Shane Lockwood’s name.

Shane Lockwood sneered. "Not calling me Mr. Lockwood anymore? Done with the act?"

"The act? I don’t know where you got that impression of me, Mr. Lockwood, but I must clarify—I have never put on an act for you."

’At most, I’ve just been hiding my other identities.’

"Is that so?" Shane Lockwood sneered. "Then why don’t you explain what Master Willow meant by calling you his ’granddaughter-in-law’ today? And don’t try to pass it off as a joke. I’m not an idiot; I’m not that easily fooled."

Shane Lockwood’s gaze was sharp, like a sword trying to pierce her very soul.

Eliza Sutton had no intention of hiding it. "I saved Master Willow’s life once. To show his gratitude, he wanted his grandson to marry me in repayment, but I refused."

Shane Lockwood scoffed. "Why refuse such a good offer? Becoming the young mistress of the Willow family would be an excellent choice for you after our divorce."

Eliza Sutton, annoyed, forced a smile. "Yes, you’re right. It is an excellent choice. In that case, I’ll call Master Willow right now and tell him I’ll marry his grandson as soon as I’m divorced."

As she spoke, Eliza Sutton pulled out her phone, her fingertips tapping quickly on the screen.

The phone began to ring, and it wasn’t long before the call connected.

"Hello, I agree to the marriage. As soon as I’m divorced, I’ll marry him—"

"Eliza Sutton!"

With a sudden wrench from Shane Lockwood, the phone flew from Eliza Sutton’s hand and landed on the bed. The screen lit up, revealing she had actually called Eva Monroe.

Eva Monroe was shouting on the other end, "Isla Sutton, what do you mean you agree to a marriage? What divorce?"

The expression on Shane Lockwood’s face froze.

"Let go." Eliza Sutton pulled her wrist free from his grasp and spoke into the phone. "Let’s talk later. I’m hanging up now."

"Eliza Sutton!"

Eva Monroe’s voice was abruptly cut off. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Eliza Sutton looked at Shane Lockwood. "Is the interrogation over, Mr. Lockwood? If so, please move aside. I’m going to take a shower."

"Eliza Sutton, you must be very pleased with yourself, aren’t you?" He was furious that he had actually mistaken her call for one to Master Willow—and that his own reaction had been so intense.

"What are you talk—"

Before Eliza Sutton could finish her sentence, her lips were sealed by his.

Shane Lockwood had kissed her.

His kiss was just like him—incredibly domineering. The moment she offered the slightest resistance, it became a tempestuous onslaught.

Eliza Sutton was stunned.

She never would have expected Shane Lockwood to do something like this.

When she came to her senses, she bit down without hesitation.

Shane Lockwood sucked in a sharp breath, his expression annoyed. "Eliza Sutton, are you a dog?"

"That’s a question I should be asking you, Mr. Lockwood." Eliza Sutton’s expression was cold. "You’re dead set on divorcing me, yet you kiss me like this. It could easily give me the wrong idea and lead me to pester you endlessly. Is that what you want, Mr. Lockwood?"

"You’re right, I do want to divorce you. But to put it another way, we aren’t divorced yet. You are still Mrs. Lockwood, my legal wife. As your husband, I have every right."

Eliza Sutton glanced at Shane Lockwood, skeptical. "Are you sure you can?"

’She had taken his pulse when he was severely injured.’

’He wasn’t completely incapable, as Doctor Shepherd had claimed, but it would be very difficult for him to... perform. He might even have to give up halfway.’

’The toxins in his body were no joke.’

Shane Lockwood’s eyes instantly turned dangerous. His arm wrapped forcefully around Eliza Sutton’s waist, pulling her closer.

"Eliza Sutton," he said, "why don’t you find out if I can or not?"

Sensing the danger, Eliza Sutton immediately shook her head. "No, thank you. Mr. Lockwood, you should prioritize your health. There’s no need to push yourself."

Eliza Sutton’s words were utterly sincere, like a doctor’s orders.

But Shane Lockwood laughed in exasperation.

"Push myself? Eliza Sutton, you’ll soon take back what you just said."

As he spoke, Shane Lockwood’s large hand roamed her waist, soon slipping under her clothes.

The rough pads of his fingers slid across her delicate skin, sending a shiver through her.

The man grew bolder.

Eliza Sutton couldn’t take it anymore. She grabbed Shane Lockwood’s wrist and looked up at him, her eyes filled with fury. "Shane Lockwood, that’s enough!"

"I haven’t even started to ’push myself,’ and you already can’t handle it?" A smirk played on Shane Lockwood’s thin lips, but there was no mirth in his eyes. "This is just the beginning. Eliza Sutton, I’m going to make you understand that when it comes to this, you’re not the one in control."

Eliza Sutton sensed Shane Lockwood’s aggression and knew he wouldn’t back down so easily, especially since he was becoming more and more outrageous...

Eliza Sutton’s arms wrapped around his neck, her soft, pliant body pressing against his chest.

A flicker of mockery crossed Shane Lockwood’s eyes.

’So all of her previous antics were just her way of proving she was special.’

The thought had barely crossed his mind,

when a sharp, intense pain shot through his back.

Eliza Sutton had viciously struck him on the back!

In that instant, Shane Lockwood felt as if the scabs on his back had split open. The sharp pain was like a tsunami, and a cold sweat broke out on his neck.

Eliza Sutton looked at him with an innocent expression. "What’s wrong, Mr. Lockwood? You don’t look very well."

"You..."

"Mr. Lockwood. When you’re unwell, you should rest properly. If you keep messing around like this, the only one you’ll end up hurting is yourself. Don’t you think?" Eliza Sutton said with utmost sincerity.

But the pressure from her hand was merciless.

Shane Lockwood’s handsome face twitched in pain.

’God knows those few blows from Eliza hurt even more than when the sulfuric acid was splashed on his back.’

Shane Lockwood gritted his teeth. "You’ve got some nerve!"

Eliza Sutton gave a slight smile. "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Lockwood. Now, may I go take my shower?"

Shane Lockwood finally retracted his hand.

"Thank you, Mr. Lockwood," Eliza said.

Eliza Sutton got off the bed, grabbed her pajamas, and went into the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of running water filled the air.

When Shane Lockwood realized his gaze was fixed on the bathroom door and his mind was filled with thoughts of Eliza Sutton,

he couldn’t help but smile.

This time, Eliza Sutton had made the better move; she had finally won his attention.

But if Eliza Sutton really thought that this special treatment from him meant she could hold on to her position as Madam Lockwood, she was sorely mistaken.

He had promised the position of his wife to Vivian Forrest, and he would not go back on his word.

Shane Lockwood had always been resolute on this point, but for some reason, he found himself wavering right now.

The hesitation wasn’t drastic—it was subtle, almost imperceptible—but it was undeniably real.

He didn’t know when it had started, but the name "Eliza Sutton" was no longer just synonymous with "good-luck bride."

She had left her own mark on Shane Lockwood’s heart.

「The next day.」

Eliza Sutton had just arrived at the design department when Mr. Walker approached her with a tense expression.

"Eliza Sutton, get to the reception room. A client is asking for you by name!"
