Chapter 1106

Corvus froze, his teacup hovering in mid-air. He slowly raised his gaze, revealing eyes as black and freezing as an abyss.
“What did you say?” He slammed the cup down on the table, the sharp clatter echoing loudly. His aura flared with terrifying authority.
“I thought you were just morally bankrupt, but it turns out you’re deaf, too.” Celine stood her ground. Her hair was a mess, and her face was deathly pale, but she radiated a chilling, untouchable arrogance. “If I have to repeat myself, fine. Thanks to eight generations of your ancestors!” She spat the words out with surgical precision.
Corvus surged to his feet, a murderous aura rolling off him. His eyes were lethally cold.
“Did I strike a nerve?” Celine didn’t back down. She met his glare head-on and laughed coldly. “We share zero blood. What kind of delusional uncle are you? I’ll thank your ancestors all day, but they have absolutely nothing to do with mine.”
Three times. She had insulted his bloodline three times in a row. Corvus clenched his fists, eyes blazing, fighting the urge to crush her throat on the spot.
“Do you even know why you’re here?”
“Ha.” Celine stared at him, speaking slowly and deliberately. “To feed your twisted little research obsession. You engineered a shipwreck, tore our family apart, locked my parents in a cage, and tried to hunt down us ‘test subjects’. You brought me here to fulfill some sick, psychopathic fantasy. Tell me, am I close?”
With every word she spoke, Corvus’s expression grew uglier. The surrounding guards were practically trying to melt into the floor in terror. Aside from Dr. Sommers, no one had ever dared to disrespect the Boss so blatantly to his face. He was going to slaughter her, wasn’t he?
“What else could you possibly want with me, other than to dissect my brain and steal my genetics?” Celine took a breath and continued, “I assume you already know I’ve reunited with my family.”
Corvus’s eyebrow twitched, a flicker of genuine admiration appearing in his eyes. She was definitely Theia’s offspring. Her sheer audacity was something to behold.
“Don’t hold your breath,” Celine stood tall, lifting her chin defiantly. “I won’t tell you a damn thing.”
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?” Corvus closed the distance between them, looking down at her, his voice a
lethal whisper. “Don’t you care about the child in your womb?”
“Heh.” Celine Smiled faintly, entirely unbothered. Whether I keep it or not isn’t up to me anymore, is it? If he doesn’t make it, it’s just fate. I’ll

cut the crap. Torture me, killme-
whatever you want!”
The entire room stared at her in stunned silence. She was actively provoking him.
Did she truly have a death wish?
“I won’t kill you.” Corvus’s face was
livid for a moment before he smoothed his expression, a chilling smile creeping onto his lips. “You might not want to talk
now, bu
minds change. Thave all the time in the world to break you, Ms. Sherwin. He paused, letting the silence stretch before delivering the killing blow. “But I can’t guarantee your parents have the same luxury.”
Celine’s head snapped up, her eyes going red. What was he going to do to them?
“Take her back to her cell,” Corvus ordered with a dismissive wave. “And since Dr. Blackwood is showing such excellent progress, cut off all his pain medication tonight.”
Cut off his medication? He was using her father’s agony to break her.
Celine didn’t fully comprehend the horrifying consequences of that order until deep into the night.
