Chapter 86 Take Them Off
Yes, she was just like a dog being caged up whenever she was with Lewis. He would pat her whenever
he was happy. If he wasn’t, he would dump her to the side and forbid her to wag tail at other people.
What dignity did she have? Being Mrs. Alvarez? It was all but a joke.
So, how could she hurt Avery for just that bit of dignity?
Seth looked at her with sparkles in his eyes, gleaming ambiguously.
her
Her messy hair made her seem like a real puppy. Once Josephine cleaned up every last scrap of food,
she bit her lip and looked at Seth, enduring the pain.
Even if she felt like she had no dignity, she would still feel the grievances bubbling in her heart, making
her feel ashamed.
Seth chuckled and placed the bowl down. Then, he waved the phone in his hand. “Do you want to see
how pathetic you looked just now?”
Josephine’s pupils constricted a little. She looked at the phone and froze. It was a recording of her. The
humiliation grew stronger, making her wish she could disappear from the face of the earth forever.
Seth played with his phone, admiring his work. He smiled and said, “I really want to send this to Lewis.
Do you two usually have such fun?”
Josephine clenched his fist. Of course, she understood what he meant by that, so she turned. her head
to the other side in humiliation, not wanting to reply.
Seth suddenly reached out and slowly untied the ropes around her wrists. The moment she was set
free, she suddenly felt much lighter, but she listlessly slumped to the floor from the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtchair.
Seth grabbed her by her clothes and picked her up, dragging her outside.
Josephine had no more energy to struggle. The collar choked her like a rope around her neck- she was
so suffocated she almost died of asphyxiation.
He dragged her to the bathroom, and while she was still on the floor, he turned on the shower and
hosed her down. The water was so cold Josephine shivered. She hugged herself and curled up against
the corner.
Seth held the showerhead and bent down in front of her. “Take them off.”
Josephine was stunned and looked at him in disbelief. Water constantly flowed down from her head,
wetting her face and hair and blurring her vision.
Seth smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not interested in you. Especially women who had been
screwed by Lewis.”
Josephine found it hard to imagine that such a gentle, intelligent-looking man would say something so
lewd.
The water gradually grew warmer, and she stopped shivering.
Seth said once more, “If you’re going to wait for me to take your clothes off, I might not be gentle. You
better think twice. Oh, and your friend is still with me.”
Josephine pursed her lips and glared at Seth with humiliation, rage, and even fear. She had so many
emotions, yet her pitiful face could barely express one-tenth of them.
The only aspect that could attract any attention was her reddened eyes and her unkempt hair. When a
woman looked at a man with humiliation in her eyes, it aroused the man’s desire to dominate and
torture. Especially when it was a beautiful woman.
Seth looked at her eyes, and his expression darkened. “Don’t make me repeat myself the third time.
Take them off.”
Josephine slowly clenched her clothes tightly.
Seth lost his patience. He suddenly threw the showerhead. It landed on the floor and wriggled like a
snake, spraying water everywhere, making both of them wet. He grabbed Josephine by the shoulders
and pulled her over. Josephine reflexively hugged herself tighter and furiously shook her head at Seth.
“It’s pointless trying to put on a pitiful act.” Seth grabbed her by the ankles and pulled, sending
Josephine falling to the floor. The back of her head landed on the floor heavily. It hurt
so much that she saw stars.
While she was in a dizzy fit, her clothes were torn in half. She could not even care for the pain. She
immediately got up and retreated to a corner, curling up as if that was the only safe place. The reality
was that no safe place existed, just like her lying to herself about Lewis’ feelings.
toward her.
Seth was not annoyed one bit. He looked at her with an ambiguous smile. When he tried to comb her
hair, she swerved.
Josephine hugged her knees, curling up against the corner, and buried her face in her legs. If there
was a pit, she might perhaps have already buried herself in it.
“Look at how dirty you are. I’m only trying to give you a shower. What are you afraid of?” He gently
combed his fingers through her wet hair. The next second, he clenched his fist and grabbed her by the
hair. He pulled on her hair, forcing her to look at him. He said, “Are you trying my patience?”
Josephine furrowed her brow tightly in pain. She signed with difficulty. “Let Avery go. Let her go, and I’ll
do whatever you ask.”

Seth chuckled as if he had just heard a joke. “Do you think I’ll believe you?” Not only was he laughing,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbut he also sounded like he was doting on her, if one ignored the fact that he was still grabbing her hair.
“If I let her go, will you still obey me?”
Josephine pursed her lips as if he had seen through her. If he let Avery go, naturally, she wouldn’t obey
him. She will try her best to end her life to stop being humiliated by him.
Seth suddenly sighed gently and let go of Josephine’s hair. “I’m giving you one last chance. Take them
off; if not, I’ll go and take off Avery’s clothes. How about that?”
Josephine was a little stunned. She knew Seth’s intention was just to purely humiliate her. She
swallowed her saliva and signed, “Why? Why are you doing this to me?”
Seth looked at her for quite a while before replying, “If you remember, you won’t be asking me that
question anymore.”
“What do you want me to remember?”
“If I tell you, it’d be pointless. Josephine, I want you to remember on your own. Do you understand?”
Josephine felt like her head was about to explode. She didn’t know what she needed to remember. Her
memories were always there. She had so many memories, so which one was it? If he didn’t give her a
hint, how would she know?
He was purely finding an excuse to torture and humiliate her.
Seth no longer wanted to continue with the topic. He said again, “Take your clothes off and wash up.”
Josephine was still hesitating.
“Do not test my patience. This is the final warning.”
Josephine signed. “You said you’re not interested in me. You go out, and I’ll shower on my own.”
Seth chuckled. “I’m not interested in you, but it doesn’t hurt if I look, right?” At that, the smile on his face
vanished, along with his patience. He shouted, “Take them off!”
Josephine shuddered. Then, she thought about Avery. If he was just using Avery to threaten her and
not hurt her, she didn’t mind bearing all the humiliation.
She shut her eyes and slowly reached her hand, grabbing the bottom of her sweater. She mustered her
courage and took her clothes off in one sweeping move.
