She was an arrogant and spoiled lady, born with a silver spoon in her mouth. However, there was a secret behind her identity. He was a rising star in the business world. In just five years, the whole city was under his control. In order to achieve her goal, she provoked him and set him up. But when she tried to seduce him, she was frightened by his coldness. The moment she was about to run away, she was pulled into his arms. He landed an aggressive kiss on her lips.
"Murray He! How dare you betray me!"
Someone had sent Mary Gu an anonymous message about ten minutes ago.
"Up for a show? Go to Room 3208 of YJ Hotel."
Initially, Mary Gu thought the message was just some hoax. However, when she saw the photos attached, she began fuming.
It was a photo of her fiance, Murray He, with another woman.
In the photo, he was carrying the woman in his arms rather intimately.
In her wrath, Mary Gu wasted no time as she rushed to the hotel. Upon arrival, she noticed that the room wasn't even locked. She pressed her ear against the door, trying to make out the faint sounds.
"No! Let go of me! Mmph..."
Mary Gu could feel her heart pulsing in her ears.
Using her sky-high heels, she kicked the door open and barged in.
Seeing the two entangled with each other on the bed only aggravated her further.
Pak!
She raised her arm and slapped the woman across the face.
"Bitch! How dare you seduce my fiance!"
The woman widened her eyes in utter shock, her cheek reddened. "Who are you?"
"Who am I? You have the guts to have an affair with him and you don't know who I am?" A sneer tugged at the corners of Mary Gu's mouth. "Ask him then. Ask him who I am."
"Mr. Si, who is this woman?"
'Mr. Si? What is this woman talking about? That's Murray He!'
The room fell into silence.
The man slowly turned around as he met Mary Gu's gaze, his eyes dark and incomprehensible like an abyss.
Mary Gu's heart jolted. Who was this man? Where was Murray He?
The man seemed cool and collected. While the woman was barely clothed and hollow-eyed, the man wasn't-his shirt was perfectly well-pressed even. If nothing else, he didn't seem the least bit embarrassed in an obviously embarrassing situation.
Instead, he slightly narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Miss Gu, nice to meet you."
Mary Gu blushed immediately.
Then a realization hit her. "You know me?" she asked, vaguely bewildered.
"Aren't you here for the show? Weren't you supposed to catch someone cheating on you?" A knowing smile played at the man's mouth.
What was going on?
Mary Gu bit her lips. Damn it! She was tricked!
"Sorry, I must have been mistaken."
Smiling faintly, the man gazed at her, his eyes dimmed as if he was a greedy wolf circling in on its prey.
Mary Gu felt her chest tighten. She turned around in an attempt to leave when she felt a hand grip her wrist.
The man pulled her back.
He had moved so fast that she wasn't even able to respond.
Thump!
Mary Gu was thrown on the bed rather harshly. She then sunk into the soft bed.
"Ahh!"
The woman next to Oliver cried in horror.
Nervousness welled up in Mary Gu's chest. 'What is this man trying to do?
What a freak!'
The man stood up, his eyes burning.
"Fuck off!"
Baffled, Mary Gu attempted to get up only to be pressed back down by the man.
She gritted her teeth and hissed, "Let me go!"
"Mr. Si!" the other woman called out, her voice delicate.
At that moment, Mary Gu seemed to understand something. Was he asking the other woman to leave?
"Don't make me repeat myself!"
he roared.
The half-dressed woman clumsily collected her things as she scurried out, crying her eyes out.
Stunned, Mary thought to herself, 'What's going on? Is this what I think it is?'
"Let me go!" She struggled, trying to escape.
However, Oliver Si was too strong for her as he tightened his grip on her. "And if I don't?"
As he spoke, she could feel his hot breath on her face.
She continued to struggle but to no avail.
"Get off me!"
He ignored her pleas as he continued to draw nearer towards her. By then, their lips were just barely an inch apart.
She swiftly turned her face away, her heart pounding violently in her chest.
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Claim for damages."
"What?" She quickly turned her head so much so that her lips lightly grazed his cheek.
His cheek felt abnormally cold.
Oliver Si screwed his eyes dangerously as he leaned against her neck. "Shouldn't you compensate me for letting my prey go?" he said slowly, emphasizing each word.
She let go of his prey?
"Bah! Shame on you!"
How dare he put the blame on her! Now he was asking compensation from her?
"They're inside! I saw them with my own two eyes! They're in there!"
There seemed to be a commotion outside.
Bang!
In the next second, the door flew open.
Mary Gu turned her head, blinded by all the flashing lights.
A group of reports had swarmed in. Their cameras were clicking nonstop.
"Miss Gu, what are you doing here?"
"Miss Gu, aren't you going to get married tomorrow? Why are you still fooling around with another man?"
"Miss Gu, don't you feel guilty for what you're doing behind your fiance's back?"
The questions came in like a barrage.
Mary Gu's mind went blank. In a hoarse voice, she shouted, "Go away! Stop asking me questions! Go away!"
In her despair, she felt as if she was a trapped beast.
However, the reporters were persistent. After all, such huge news was rare to come by.
Mary Gu, a member of the rich Gu family, was having an affair in a hotel. Just hearing the headline alone was enough to attract anyone's attention.
No one in their right mind would willingly let go of such a shocking headline.
Eventually, they finally noticed Oliver Si, who had been suspiciously silent the entire time. They turned their cameras towards him.
With his back to the reporters, his face couldn't be seen clearly. All they could see was his broad back.
"Sir, what's your relationship with Miss Gu?"
"Are you aware that Miss Gu is set to be married tomorrow?"
"You..."
"Fuck off!" His deep and hoarse voice was frightening.
The moment Oliver Si turned around, the reporters seemed to collectively hold their breaths.
"Mr. Si..."
A reporter trembled in fear and even dropped his camera on the floor.
Bang!
The loud sound roared in Mary Gu's ears.
Suddenly, something hit her-someone had obviously sent her that text message on purpose. Oliver and that woman earlier... The flock of reporters...
This was all planned!
But who on earth was behind all this?
