Chapter 525
Viola spoke softly as she pressed herself against Melanie’s ear. She took Melanie’s arm affectionately and changed her tone to a slightly more gentle one as she said, “Melanie, you’ve had too much to drink. Let me help you to rest.”
Melanie wanted to shake off her hand, but she did not have the energy to do it. She struggled to regulate her breathing and suppress the rising heat of her body. “Viola, you still have a chance to regret this.”
Viola looked into Melanie’s eyes, not hiding the malice in them at all. “Rather than threaten me, you should think about what you should do later if you still have the energy.”
Quentin had already entered the room. He looked composed in his white shirt and black trousers. Since their last encounter in the west of the city, Melanie had not seen Quentin again.
However, she seemed to have heard that he was demoted by the owner of Vanke Group for
some reason.
Pushing up the glasses on his nose, Quentin walked over to her and said, “Melanie, long time no see.”
Viola propped her up. Melanie had a frown on her face that was flushing abnormally. Despite the discomfort caused by the drug in her body, her gaze remained clear. She swept her gaze back and forth between Viola and Quentin. “Did you tamper with my drink?”
Viola feigned surprise and exclaimed, “It’s not right to throw false accusations around, Melanie. You have no evidence, so you shouldn’t make baseless claims.”
Melanie looked at the confident way Viola was carrying herself and felt unease wash through her. “You had Mason tamper with my drink.”
She could not understand why Mason would suddenly offer her a drink otherwise. Viola’s expression was mocking. She looked at Melanie with a smirk and said, “So what if it’s me? Do you think you can escape?”
After saying this, she turned to Quentin. “Have you prepared everything you need? I worked hard to bring this person to you. You know what to do.”
Quentin grinned as he looked over Melanie brazenly.
She had chosen to wear a white professional suit for the business discussion today. The top buttons of her jacket were unbuttoned, revealing the shirt underneath.
Her figure was well-defined, and the formal attire seemed alluring on her.
The greed in Quentin’s eyes disgusted Melanie. “Don’t worry, everything is ready. I initially thought your suggestion was unnecessary, but now I think filming it and keeping the footage for myself will be a kind of enjoyment,” he said.
After saying that, he reached out to Melanie.
Viola pushed Melanie onto Quentin with a look of disgust. She then lifted her chin and informed her triumphantly, “I want to see if you’ll still be as arrogant tomorrow!” A sinister smile slowly appeared on her face.
“Melanie, I’m about to ruin your reputation.”
Chapter 525
Melanie was practically forced out of the private room by Quentin. She had almost no strength left and was entirely at his mercy.
The man’s rough palm rested on her waist as the air between them was filled with a murky heat. The strong scent of cologne on Quentin added to Melanie’s nausea and disgust.
The hotel Bruce had chosen had dining areas on the lower floors. To reach the rooms upstairs, they had to go around this side of the corridor and take the elevator.
As Quentin led Melanie toward the elevator, he deliberately lowered his voice as he spoke. It was accompanied by his heavy breaths and sinister laugh. “Melanie, look, you still ended up like this in the end. What was the point of being so stubborn all those years ago?”
Her nausea was growing stronger when suddenly, a cleaning trolley appeared in front of them. Melanie’s eyes narrowed slightly. As the cleaning staff pushed the trolley toward them, she elbowed Quentin’s stomach abruptly, causing him to bend over in pain.
She then stumbled and ran past the cleaning trolley.
Quentin doubled over in sudden pain, and the cleaning staff hurriedly went over to help him. By the time Quentin recovered, Melanie had disappeared.
