Silas looked at Karen sitting on the couch as though she was a Grim Reaper about to snatch his soul. He started banging his head on the floor, begging for mercy like there was no tomorrow.

Everyone present could not help but secretly curse Silas for being such a coward when they saw him like this.

The more he acted like this, the more different he seemed from the Silas of the past.

Karen was extremely disgusted, not only with everything happening now but also with her past with Silas. She instructed her subordinates, "Bring the knife over."

Silas was shocked when he heard this and intensified his banging on the floor.

Karen's subordinates were also taken aback for a moment and quickly asked, "Madam, what are you planning to do?"

"I'm going to kill him!" Karen felt that her current situation was Silas' fault.

Therefore, she had to personally put an end to this man to rid herself of the resentment in her heart.

Karen had never killed anyone before. It was not that she had never entertained such thoughts, but she had never done such a thing.

However, Silas not only provoked such thoughts in her but even made her think of carrying out such an act. Karen even thought that as long as the final blow was not dealt by her own hand, what happened after that had nothing to do with her.

Her subordinates were rendered speechless when they heard what she said. This woman seemed to be acting on a whim again.

Not to mention Karen, even they had never done something like this too. If they handed her the knife, what if someone accidentally ended up dead?

"Madam, the Mallory family can't afford any more trouble now. You can't kill this man!" Anthony reminded her in a low voice, knowing that only the Mallory family could restrain Karen.

Karen glared fiercely at him. "Are you lecturing me?"

"I dare not, Madam. It's just that you've told the reporters that you'll hold this person accountable legally. If you accidentally kill him, how can you pursue that? You've seen for yourself that Luke even sent reporters to give you trouble today.

"If this man dies and they find out, who knows what kind of news they might stir up? That’s why you can't do this..." reminded Anthony in a hushed tone.

When Karen lost her rationality, she tended to act recklessly.

His duty was to remind her of what she could not do.

If he could persuade her, he would. Even if not, he still had to try. He had done many things that offended his employer.

However, Karen did not have anyone else reliable by her side, so even if he offended her, he would not lose his job.

He considered it somewhat fortunate.

Karen took a deep breath. As she listened to the man's words, she knew he was speaking sense.

However, she could not calm the anger in her heart if she did not teach Silas a lesson.

Anthony knew what she was thinking, so he reminded her, "Madam, if you really want to vent, just beat him up. But remember, don't hit his head."

Initially, Silas was relieved that he had escaped death because of the man's words.

Still, his hope was dashed by what the man said later.

He might not die, but he would have to endure many beatings.

Karen rose to her feet, walked toward Silas, and kicked him hard in the abdomen.

"Ah!" Silas screamed in agony.

Anthony quickly approached. He held a piece of cloth in his hand, intending to gag Silas.

At this moment, Karen expressed her dissatisfaction and said, "There’s no need to gag him. I can only vent my anger by hearing his screams!"

With that, she delivered another kick.

Silas' screams echoed from inside the villa to the outside.

After receiving the shopping voucher, the reporter from New Youth Daily pretended to leave but actually stayed behind. She followed the instructions given to her and stood in a corner, trying to listen for any noises coming from inside.

Sure enough, there were screams.

When she visited earlier, she had toured the backyard of the villa and knew which wall was closest to the house inside. Her current position allowed her to hear the activities inside vividly.

Therefore, she turned on her recorder and whispered into it, "The press conference has now ended, and I'm currently outside the villa. Before I could leave, I heard screams coming from inside."

Then, she raised the recorder high.

The noises from inside did not disappoint her. They grew louder and more distressing with each passing moment.

The reporter recorded for a while longer until the noises inside subsided. Satisfied, she saved the recording and left.

In the afternoon, news about Karen's announcement today was reported by the media, including New Youth Daily.

As Luca entered the laboratory, she overheard the researchers discussing.

"Did you see the report from New Youth Daily?" One of the researchers brought up the topic.

"I did. I didn't expect it. This time, New Youth Daily's report is the most sensational," commented another researcher.

"New Youth Daily? What did they report?" Luca knew that New Youth Daily was under T Corporation and was not particularly prominent. It was established by Luke's deputy manager of public relations.

"It's about Madam Mallory’s clarification of today's news, and it's quite remarkable."

The researcher explained in detail when she saw how curious Luca was, "Other media outlets' reports are all the same. They’re quite boring. But New Youth Daily's report is exceptional. Their news is much more exciting than others.

"And there's an audio recording on their official website, reportedly recorded by a reporter during the press conference. Dr. Craw, if you're curious, you should give it a listen. It's quite thrilling."

"Really?" Luca could not help but feel curious.

She took out her phone, opened New Youth Daily’s official website, and found the audio report they mentioned.

However, she was in the laboratory. It was not appropriate to listen to the content. She merely glanced at the comments below.

Everyone was praising the excellence of this audio recording, and some were even speculating about its contents.

Confused by these comments, Luca asked the researchers again, "What's this recording about?"

"It's just a man's screams that get louder and louder. They speculate it's Silas Gray. You know, the man rumored to have had an affair with Madam Mallory. Anyway, the screams sounded miserable, like he's being beaten up," answered the researcher.

"If it's true, that guy has probably been beaten to a pulp," added another researcher.

Luca suddenly understood. Karen beat up someone?

She did have a reputation for violence. Luca had heard about it. Karen's delay in clarification was likely due to her hitting Silas, causing him to have a swollen face and be unable to face the media.

Otherwise, the clarification report would not have been delayed until now.

"Dr. Craw, there's also a report written by that reporter. It's quite impressive. While others just posted Madam Mallory's statement, this reporter picked out the inconsistencies in her statements during the

press conference and listed them all. She’s sharp," mentioned another researcher.

When Luca heard this, she took a look at the article they mentioned. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Indeed, it was sharp.

It was not the reporter who was sharp. It was Luke.

Luke cared deeply for her and would never allow those who hurt her to get away easily.

Karen had attempted to cause trouble with the news. She even caused Luca to suffer from rumors and psychological trauma. Now, Luke was avenging her.

This was Luke taking out her frustration for her.
