During this time, she headed to the restroom once. The minute she stepped out of the restroom, she saw Stephen waiting outside.
“Thank you for tonight, Stephen. I hope Young Master Lyons can help my family regain the position of Hudson’s chairman.” Rosabella smiled while hooking her arm through Stephen’s. She would not get rid of Stephen immediately after Willie began to treat her differently. She was not a fool.
“Hopefully it helps.” Stephen smiled mirthlessly. “Young Master Lyons and you—”
Rosabella immediately said, “Don’t get me wrong. Ultimately, you’re still the one I’m in love with. Just now, Young Master Lyons didn’t want to let me go—”
“I understand. I won’t be upset about it.” Stephen patted her on the back of her hand. “It’s only when your family has settled this matter that both of our families can progress further and achieve better things.”
“It’s good that you understand.” Rosabella felt a tinge of coldness, but she was soon at ease. After all, she only got together with Stephen for the sake of benefits.
“What matters most for now is to please Young Master Lyons.” Stephen ran his fingers through her hair. “I’ll wait for you.”
“Thanks.”
Rosabella then sat by Willie’s side again.
This time, Willie put his hand around her waist.
At 11:00 p.m., Willie was rather drunk. Stephen asked Rosabella to take him upstairs to rest.
After the crowd left, Janet said to Stephen in a huff, “Are you out of your mind? Why didn’t you introduce me to Willie? I’d definitely be able to benefit our family if I became the young mistress of the Lyons family.”
“Willie isn’t interested in you,” Stephen replied coldly while lighting a cigarette.
Janet flew into a rage. “What do you mean? In your eyes, I’m not as good-looking as Rosabella, huh? At least I didn’t grow up in a rural area—”
“I’m doing this for your good. Willie has the filthy habit of sleeping with someone’s girlfriend or wife.”
Janet was dumbfounded.
Stephen added, “You’re my biological sister. If there’s an easy path to great success, I’d certainly offer it to you first. However, Willie is a pervert. He has even killed a woman.”
“Are you sure?” Janet shuddered.
“It’s absolutely true. If it wasn’t for our relative who works as his assistant, I wouldn’t have known about it.” Stephen slowly rose to his feet. “Otherwise, why would you think that I offered Rosabella such a great opportunity? She’s not decent either.
“But don’t worry. Willie will be grateful that I gave him the chance to get close to Rosabella. In that case, our family will get to become the most brilliant family in Melbourne.”
In an instant, Janet became quiet.
…
The next morning.
When Rosabella regained consciousness, she shuddered at the sight of the man beside her who was awake.
With everything that had happened last night flashing across her mind, it felt as if she went to hell once again.
The man was terrifying, indeed. He was actually an abuser.
At that point, she was badly scarred as a result of being whipped.
“You’re awake.”
When Willie turned his head around and glanced at Rosabella, a shiver ran the length of her whole body. “Don’t…”
“Why? Are you not satisfied with me?” Willie lit a cigarette, his eyes flashing with hostility.
“No.” Rosabella turned pale. Since she had slept with him, she thought that she should not have to suffer for nothing. She gritted her teeth and feigned being shy. She added, “It’s my pleasure to be able to sleep with you, Young Master Lyons.”
“It’s good that you know it.” Willie smoked, looking content. “Was it your first time doing it last night?”
Rosabella was stunned. She recalled that she had deliberately undergone plastic surgery in order to please Stephen before this. Little did she expect that she would suddenly sleep with Willie last night. Apparently, Willie had misunderstood it.
“Ye-Yeah.”
“I didn’t expect it.” Willie touched her chin. “Aren’t you afraid that Stephen will mind?”
“As I said, it’s my honor to be able to sleep with you for a night considering your noble status,” Rosabella responded with intimidation.
Upon hearing that, Willie burst out laughing. “Interesting. I quite like you. I’ll be in Melbourne for some time, and you’ll accompany me throughout my time here.”
“Alright.” Rosabella forced a smile. “I wonder what project in Melbourne that you’re going to inspect?”
“Oh. A tech company under the Lyons family would like to invest in an industrial park. I came to have a look at it.”
Rosabella asked cautiously, “How much are you going to invest?”
“Probably hundreds of billions of dollars. There’s no limit to the amount,” Willie answered casually.
Rosabella’s spirits soared. If Hudson could work on this project, Jeffery’s and her status would be elevated.
“Young Master Lyons, I’m guessing you’d want to work with a local company on such a large project…”
“Hudson is interested to take part in it, huh?” Willie gave a discreet smile.
“Young Master Lyons, I’d like to partner with you for the project, but I’ve just been let go from my job in Hudson.” Looking dejected, Rosabella gave a bitter smile. “My dad’s and my positions are at stake…”
“I can solve anything for you as long as you do your part well in keeping me company.” A smile flashed across Willie’s face. “All the women around me have never failed to receive favorable treatment from me.”
“In that case, I’ll definitely treat you well.” With grim determination, she kissed him on her own accord.
Shortly afterward, Rosabella’s howls sounded from the room once again.
Weeping bitterly, she thought deep down, ‘Cate, I’m suffering so much now. I’ll certainly pay you back with interest in the future!’
…
The year was drawing to a close.
Hudson’s anniversary was celebrated in a seven-star hotel.
Not only did Hudson invite a few well-known celebrities for the night, but quite a number of business powerhouses had also shown up.
7:00 p.m.
As the newly-appointed chairwoman, Cate slowly traveled to the hotel in a Bentley.
When the door of the car was opened, she was seen wearing a long black vintage-style dress and holding a vintage studded purse. It was usually difficult to stand out when dressed in black. However, she remained gorgeous and elegant with her pretty, exquisite face and red lipstick that resembled a blooming rose.
The journalists began to take out their cameras to snap photos of her.
With her position and identity, she could be considered the youngest and prettiest female president in Melbourne.
Cate struck a pose. Shortly afterward, a scream suddenly sounded beside her.
“Hurry up and look! Isn’t this the limited-edition Bugatti Veyron L’Or Blanc?”
“I heard it’s made of titanium alloy. It costs over 50 million dollars.”
“Look at the license plate. It’s f*cking awesome.”
“That’s amazing. Who on earth is that? Is he here to attend Hudson’s anniversary celebration?”
“Look! The door is opening.”
Surrounded by the onlookers’ voices, a man dressed in a dark blue suit got out of the driver’s seat. His features were pronounced, and a devilish smirk was visible on his face.
There were screams coming from the reporters in the crowd.
“He’s so handsome!”
