Chapter 1

• Zoe Gil finally got to the Pinkyrose hotel.
• She was a gorgeous young girl who was making deliveries of sex toys.
• Still panting from the running, she checked the room number again and rang the doorbell.
• Even before the door opened, there were already fevered moans of a man and woman sounding from inside.
• “Steven, ah ... stop! It seems our stuff has arrived.”
• “Wait, I'll get it.”
• Zoe's mouth could not help but curl as she stood outside the door.
• 'Seems they have enjoyed themselves so much even without their little toy.’
• 'So eager!'
• The door quickly opened, and a freshly-showered man wearing a bathrobe appeared.
• Zoe did not look at him and simply handed the box over. “150 dollars! Cash?”
• The man opposite her did not move.
• Two seconds later, a hesitant voice sounded, “Zoe?”
• Zoe was slightly startled and raised her head. Her expression went cold instantly.
• The man in front of her was exactly her boyfriend, Steven Anderson she had loved for six years!
• He stood tall by the door, with water dripping from his short hair. He wore only a white bathrobe, and under the glow of the warm yellow light, his handsome face was filled with surprise, dismay, and ... a hint of panic.
• “Steven, who is it?” A female voice sounded from inside the room.
• “Nothing. Just the delivery man.”
• In a panic, Steven Anderson spoke out hastily before Zoe could make a sound. He quickly took out a wad of bills from his wallet and stuffed them into her hand before snatching the box from her.
• The door slammed shut with a 'bang'.
• Zoe stood there, her fingertips trembling slightly. Her face was pale.
• The next moment, she suddenly sneered.
• She looked at the stack of notes in her hand as if she had heard an amazing joke, and found how ignorant and stupid she had been.
• When the sounds of lovemaking started inside, she took a deep breath and forced back the sourness in her eyes.
• Then, she turned around and fetched her phone from her pocket as she headed for the elevator.
• “Hello, is this Julio City Police Department? I found someone taking drugs and there is also a prostitute with him. They are in the Pinkyrose Hotel. The room number is…”
• Thirty minutes later.
• A police car parked in front of the Pinkyrose Hotel along with several media reporters carrying cameras.
• As the people in the hotel were escorted out, the reporters rushed forward.
• “Mr. Anderson, someone reported that you were taking drugs and hiring prostitutes in this hotel. Is this true?”
• “Mr. Anderson, as the heir of Anderson Group, do you think it’s proper for you to do this?”
• “Mr. Anderson, who is the woman with you? There are rumors that she's a popular actress from the entertainment industry. Is that true?”
• “Mr. Anderson..”
• Steven was so surrounded by reporters that not even the police could stop them.
• After a while, he could no longer bear it and roared with rage, “Get the fuck out of my eyes!”
• The reporters were startled but backed away as demanded.
• Steven looked past the crowd and stared straight at Zoe. His eyes were full of hatred and ruthlessness.
• “Is this what you want?”
• Zoe smiled coldly as a hint of mockery flashed across her eyes.
• “You just won’t get me whatever you do!”
• Zoe suddenly walked forward and raised her hand in front of all the reporters and police—
• Smack!
• With a stinging slap to the side of his face, Steven's head was snapped to the side.
• The surroundings suddenly grew silent.
• A policeman opened his mouth. “Ma’am...”
• “Sorry, my hand slipped.”
• She smiled faintly and rubbed her wrist. Her voice was clear and cold as she looked at Steven with resentment.
• “Do you think I'd care about a piece of scrap paper that fell into the toilet? You can think of that slap as interest. I'll collect the remaining principal within the next three days!”
• Steven's eyes flashed with panic. “Wh … What principal?”
• Zoe raised her eyebrows. “Do you really want me to remind you?”
• Steven's face immediately grew pale.
• She smiled coolly, her face full of ridicule and contempt.
• When the police saw that they had nothing more to say, he waved his hand and escorted the two into the car.
• Now that they had been taken away, the journalists had no reason to stay any longer. They also began to leave.
• The hotel entrance that was originally swarmed with people suddenly became empty.
• Zoe stood there for a short while and waited until she felt better, and she just left.
• Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned her head, her sight was met with a pair of deep and searching eyes.
• They belonged to a young man in a dark suit. He had a tall and straight figure, and neat and short hair. His eyes were as deep as a bottomless sea.
• Under the dim light of the night, a cool and noble aloofness could be sensed from his delicate features, making a sharp contrast from the corrupt environment around him.
• Zoe's heart shook.
• In the back of her mind, she thought the man looked somewhat familiar.
• However, when she looked back at him again, her gaze secretly trailed to the secretary behind him as well as the silver Porsche parked beside them. Then, she felt that there was no way she knew such a big shot.
• She did not think much, but directly turned to leave.
• When the petite figure blended into the traffic, Henry Han looked away and asked softly, “Who was that just now?”
• Behind him, Jack Rey quickly replied. “Mr. Han, do you mean the person who was taken away by the police earlier? He seems to be the son of the owner of Anderson Corporation. He just returned from abroad a few days ago.”
• Henry frowned slightly. “I'm talking about the girl.”
• “Pardon?” Jack was slightly confused. “What girl?”
• Noting Henry's gloomy expression, Jack immediately understood, “My apologies, Mr. Han. I'll check right away...”
• “No need.”
• Henry interrupted him. He thought deeply for a few seconds and suddenly remembered something.
• A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he once again looked in the direction in which the girl had left. His lips hooked up in a smile. ‘So it was her. Interesting woman.’
• He then strode towards the elevator, looking forward to meeting with her again in his heart.
• Then, he finally walked inside.
• ........
• Since it was she who had called the police, Zoe also followed the police back to the station.
• As soon as she finished her statement, a group of people barged in from outside.
• Leading the crowd was her grandmother, Ciara, who rushed forward and gave Zoe a big tight slap.
• Zoe frowned as a metallic taste spread in her mouth. She looked up coldly at the people standing across from her.
• “You wretch!”
• Ciara trembled in anger. “You knew very well that it was your sister, yet you still called the cops on her? Are you trying to drive me to my grave?! ”
• Zoe wiped off the blood from the corner of her lips and looked up at the woman in front of her mockingly.
• “My sister? Are you talking about Annie?”
• “What are you acting dumb for? Word has spread all over saying that the daughter of the Gil family seduced someone else's fiancé. You're the one who caused all this, and you said you didn't even know that?”
• Zoe lowered her eyes and laughed softly.
• “So that woman was her! I thought it was just some random prostitute eager to make some money, but it turned out to be my own sister?”
• Standing behind Ciara, her father Jaden Gil roared in anger. “You little bitch! What did you say?”
