Chapter 598

His gaze swept over her, laden with blatant lust.

“Vivi’s back,” he said.

At that, Moses looked up from the contract he was scrutinizing.

He saw the slender woman standing next to his daughter.

He cleared his throat. “Vivi, who’s this?”

Vivi shot a disdainful look at Kyla before reluctantly introducing her. “A friend. She’s staying for a while.”

“That would be great.” Moses’ eyes sparkled briefly with intrigue, but he composed himself swiftly. He nudged his daughter into a seat. “Anson has brought many gifts for you. Don’t let him down.”

He then smiled at Kyla warmly. “Please, make yourself comfortable.” Kyla managed a strained smile.

During lunch, Kyla felt Moses’ hand creep onto her thigh, which quelled her appetite. Was this just jumping from the frying pan into the fire? Yet, she restrained her anger. As a guest, causing a scene could leave her without a roof over her head.

Moses, sensing no resistance, grew bolder. He poured wine for the group, tasting it first.

“Let’s drink,” he said.

He exchanged a knowing look with Anson.

Anson smirked, lifting his glass toward Vivi. “Join me?”

Vivi was cautious, but seeing her father drink the wine confidently, she slowly picked up her glass. Despite the circumstances, she knew she couldn’t afford to alienate Anson at this moment. With that in mind, she drank her wine. It was intoxicating.

Before long, both Vivi and Kyla started to feel the effects of the wine, becoming lightheaded.

Anson and Moses exchanged a look that clearly communicated their intentions. Anson stood up first, lifting Vivi with ease. “She’s had too much to drink. I’ll take her upstairs to rest.”

Moses nodded quickly, his anticipation barely hidden. “Of course, Anson. Please, take your time.”

As Anson carried Vivi away, Moses focused on Kyla, who was slumped over the table, her posture more revealing than intended.

Overcome with desire, Moses reached under her clothes.

“Noah…” Kyla murmured, her response almost encouraging as she leaned into his touch.

Moses took this as his cue, wrapping an arm around her waist. “Let’s go upstairs, darling,” he whispered.

Meanwhile, outside the villa, Samuel had been watching. He confirmed that Kyla had entered but had not left.

After deliberating, he returned to Myrtlewood Estate.

Upon entering, he found his boss alone, exuding a cold, distant aura. Glancing upstairs at the closed master bedroom door, Samuel inferred the situation.noveldrama

It seemed Mr. Wall was once again disregarded by his wife.

Approaching cautiously, Samuel reported, “Mr. Wall, Miss Wade is at the Quinn family’s villa.”

“The Quinn family?” Noah’s response was sharp as he set down his wine glass, his expression sardonic. “Then the Quinn family has to leave the city, too.”
