Chapter 2206: Unforgettable Encounter, Love's Devotion
"Keep whipping him!" the man ordered angrily. "Hit him hard with the whip!" He then sat down on the sofa.
Before Rupert could react, another man picked up the whip from the floor and struck him fiercely.
"Ah-!" With the towel removed from his mouth, Rupert's screams echoed through the mountains.
Rupert couldn't explain himself; every lash landed on his body, causing immense pain and eliciting horrific screams. His smooth-talking had deceived many, and he never repaid his debts on time, not even answering calls. Many creditors loathed him.
The man smoking in the chair didn't call for a stop, so the whipping continued relentlessly.
"Ah-!" "Ah-!" The more Rupert screamed, the more vigorously the man whipped, as if exercising his arm strength.
Rupert was soon beaten until his skin was torn and he passed out.
On set.
Since getting out of the car, Summer headed straight to the makeup room without looking back at Spencer. Spencer quickly got out of the car and closed the door, but Summer had already walked far ahead.
Clearly, she was very angry about his sudden public announcement. She hadn't said a word during their ride. If they were actually together, it might have been fine to announce it, but they weren't. His high- profile declaration only made things messier.
Summer felt overwhelmed, unable to face her elders or the gossipy neighbors. She didn't know how to explain it to her parents either; she hadn't even had time to tell them about Rupert's situation. Especially considering Brightwood family parents were still in the hospital; what if they saw the news?
Spencer stopped and watched her walk away without looking back. He understood her feelings but knew his decision was well thought out. His gaze darkened with silence.
This was the best way to protect her. In Arkpool City, everyone knew about Spencer's relationship with Ivan. Anyone who dared to touch Summer would be challenging Ivan directly-a dangerous move.
To be safe, Spencer had even assigned someone to secretly protect Summer. It had been ten years since fate brought her back into his life; he had to protect her.

Spencer's deep love made him consider everything carefully.
"What's wrong, Spencer?" Andrew approached him with large strides and noticed his unhappy expression "Didn't you just make an announcement? Did you already argue with Summer?" He had seen Summer enter the makeup room alone earlier.
Spencer walked forward with his hands in his pockets, his handsome face darkened, unwilling to answer Andrew's question. Not an argument?
"Spencer..." Andrew didn't dare ask more but reminded him, "There's a rain scene kiss with Summer later; make sure you nail it." Spencer didn't respond; he just glanced at Andrew before walking into the lounge.
"Hey! Don't be mad at me!" Andrew stopped in his tracks.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Soon after, Elisa walked over while glancing back. "What's going on? Are they together?"
Andrew looked at her and shook his head. "Doesn't seem like it; something's off."
"But..." Elisa was puzzled. "It's trending now; they announced it."
Andrew didn't want to say much but uldn't help smiling as he met
gaze. He asked softly, "Did hear Summer announce it?"
"... No," Elisa recalled the video and shook her head.
"Then that's it," Andrew said meaningfully, patting her shoulder before walking away.
