Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 30 Secret Lover

Chandler patiently watched the video to the end. Then he picked up the phone and returned it to Erin. “Although the angle is a bit off, you got everything important. If you’re so confident, go ahead and post it online.”

Erin trembled with anger. A thousand thoughts ran through her mind. She had presented such solid evidence, yet he wasn’t even afraid.

“You’re the president of Frost Corporation. Aren’t you afraid that such a scandal will affect the company’s public image?” She couldn’t help but remind him of the public impact of workplace harassment.

“In the video, you didn’t ask for help. Moreover, it was taken secrelly. It’s not an exaggeration to say that you had ulterior motives. Who will believe your side of the story when it’s exposed? Once the truth comes out, you’ll be the one who won’t be able to survive in this city. Why should I be afraid?”

Erin’s courage was crushed in an instant.

Her face turned pale. Never did she expect that the video she thought would give her an advantage was worth nothing in the eyes of the cold and ruthless Chandler. To make matters worse, she found herself agreeing with his logic.

She felt utterly helpless. Was she going to let him lead her by the nose?

Proud and content, Chandler stood up and walked towards her in graceful steps. He then slipped his large hand around her waist and buried his face in her fair neck. His hot breath tickled her skin as he said, “That video alone wasn’t satisfying enough. I need to feel the excitement through a live show.”

Erin was so angry that she raised her hand to strike him, but he caught it instantly and grinned wickedly. “Erin, why not save your energy and focus on servicing me instead?”

Ignoring her screams and struggles, Chandler lifted her onto his shoulder and strode toward the lounge.

He was determined to punish her severely for daring to plot against him and repeatedly defying him.

Erin cried out in pain, but his eyes showed no mercy.

This ungrateful woman kept testing his patience, and he would make her learn to obey her. 1
