Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 873: Chapter 876 Who Was the Woman Last Night (8)

Chapter 876

She loved Aidan Lucas, but she also feared him.

He was like a revered deity, utterly untouchable to mere mortals like them.

She had always known that standing by the side of a god represented incomparable honor.

But she was equally aware that angering a god could bring about devastating disaster.

Because she knew all this, she was exceedingly cautious, every step fraught with difficulty.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken so many years, utilizing Ben Lucas and Simon Taylor to cautiously edge closer to Aidan Lucas, treading on thin ice.

But now, it seemed like all her efforts and sacrifices were about to collapse right here.

Milly Gray panicked.

She noticed that the bodyguard who went to fetch the surveillance footage was already on his way back.

While Benjamin Lucas IX was greeting him, and nobody was paying attention to her, she quietly reached into her bag, took out her cell phone, and held it in her hand.

“Mr. Lucas,” Benjamin Lucas IX approached with news, hurrying over, “the hotel’s surveillance video had a problem last night. All the surveillance on this floor is gone, we can’t see what happened last night.”

Upon hearing this, Milly Gray’s heart, which had been suspended in midair, finally began to settle down slowly.

However, before she could really catch her breath, the man’s icy, unfeeling voice resounded once again.

He finally turned his gaze toward her, and with an unprecedented level of focus, he stared at Milly Gray.

Milly Gray heard him say, “I’ll give you one last chance, I want the truth. Are you sure the woman who was with me last night was you?”

The man’s expression was detached, his towering frame cast against the wall by the corridor lights above.

Those shadows outlined a perfectly proportioned figure, but in Milly Gray’s eyes, at that moment, it seemed as if it was merely an intangible giant beast.

Her heartbeat sped up drastically as she suddenly realized that the man was looking at her with a seriousness she had never seen before.

For the first time, she saw her own reflection in his cool, indifferent black pupils.

In that moment, all her fear vanished.

Because Milly Gray knew well the principle of seeking fortune amidst danger.

If she could convince Aidan Lucas of her words, from then on, she would truly become Mrs. Lucas.

“Yes, it really was me,” she said, pursing her lips and looking at him with an emotional gaze.

“Ethan, last night you were so formidable, tormenting me the entire evening. I originally thought that after I gave my first time to you, you would cherish and protect me. But now you are… sob, are you unwilling to acknowledge it?”

At this point, Milly Gray had no way out.

Even if it was a monumental lie, she had to brazen it out.

She cried with blurred tear-filled eyes, speaking with apparent sincerity, as if she had truly suffered a great injustice.

Some of the guests who sneaked to the door to eavesdrop and gossip even began to mutter a few curses under their breath.

“Hmph, what a man, sleeping with someone and not taking responsibility!”

“Exactly. This is like wanting to enjoy without paying!”

When Benjamin Lucas IX heard the low cursing from other rooms, he turned around fiercely and glared at those people.

The previously somewhat lively corridor immediately quieted down.

“Fine.” Nobody expected that Aidan Lucas would speak at this moment.

After hearing Milly Gray’s words, instead of denying them, the man actually flashed a faint, indifferent smile.

“Since you were the woman last night, then this is perfect… Benjamin Lucas IX, take her and leave with her.”

Aidan Lucas left these words behind as he strode towards the elevator.

Benjamin Lucas IX was left behind, unable to grasp the situation.
