Chapter 2

He had a hundred dollar bill in his hand.

What did she think he is, leaving him money after sex?

The man’s face darkened, and he strode towards the balcony. The window was indeed open.

The stairs in this building was built higher than other places and the third floor was as high as the average fourth floor. How did she manage to jump down?

Was he really that horrifying? That she’d risk her life to escape?

The wind blew in from the window, sending a chill down the spine, but it couldn’t extinguish the evil fire in the man’s heart. This woman not only humiliated him with a hundred bucks, but she also jumped out of the window and ran away… Just wait till he catches her!

Estelle sneezed on the taxi, and the driver looked back through the rearview mirror, “Hey young lady, are you alright?”

Beautiful as she was and all soaked, something definitely had happened to her..

Estelle smiled softly, “I’m fine.”

The driver chuckled, “You must be a student. Be careful out there on your own.”

“Thanks, sir.”

Estelle nodded and quickly typed on her phone, “Destroy the surveillance footage of me at the Sapphire Hotel around 7 and 9 o’clock. Make it disappear!”

“Ok!” The person on the other end didn’t ask any questions, just simply took the orders.

The thought of the man’s harsh words infuriated her. Estelle didn’t want to dwell on the useless question of whether or not she should have met Jonathan. She just wanted to make sure he never knew she’d been there.

After getting off at Maple Street, Estelle paid double the fare for wetting the taxi’s back seat.

Back at the villa, maid Wilma was startled by Estelle’s soaked clothes, “Ma’am, what happened?”

“Minor issue, I’ll go up to take a shower.” Estelle headed upstairs.

“I’ll run the bath for you, ma’am.” Wilma didn’t dare to ask further and hurried upstairs to prepare.
