Chapter 3
Shania clenched the remaining shreds of the love letter in her hand, the lingering heat from the flames burning her palm.
“Nothing, just burning some useless stuff.”
Jackson frowned at the torn pages, thinking they looked familiar. Before he could ponder further, Katherine’s voice came
from outside the door.
“Mr. Pruitt, are you going to the party or not? If you don’t leave soon, I’m not going!”
Shania looked up and said, “What party?”
“I wanted to take her to the gathering to meet some people,” he paused, “but she said she’s your caregiver, so she’ll only
go if you go.”
“Nia, just come with me for a while.”
Shania felt like she had been hit by a ton of bricks, she forced a smile and said, “Jackson, what am I to you, really?”
He seemed stunned for a moment, then finally said, “Nia, I’ve already explained to you. Before this, I’ve never met a woman so hard to conquer, so I’m very interested in her. You don’t need to be jealous. Once I catch her and get tired of playing
with her, I’ll come back and live a good life with you.”
Shania slowly closed her eyes, and that part of her heart seemed to no longer feel any pain.
In the end, she was still “dragged” to the party by Jackson.
In the car, Katherine suddenly took out a few white pills from her bag.
“Mrs. Pruitt, this is antibiotics. It will help you get better faster.”
Shania stared at the pills, didn’t reach out: “Are you sure these are antibiotics?”
Katherine’s face changed: “If you don’t trust me like that, then I have nothing to say.”
“Nia,” Jackson frowned, immediately protecting her, “Take the medicine.”
Under his cold gaze, Shania felt a wave of exhaustion.
She closed her eyes and finally took the pills, swallowing them with water.
In the private room of the club, Jackson’s brothers had been waiting for a long time. When they saw him coming in,
everyone immediately cheered.
“Mr. Pruitt finally took Ms. Compton out!”
“Is that the Ms. Compton who haunted Mr. Pruitt’s dreams? She’s definitely unique!”
Shania sat in the corner, watching this group of people who had once supported her and Jackson like this, her heart
aching.

“Ms. Compton, Mr. Pruitt really loves you,” a young man said with a smile. “Just say the word, and he’ll pick the stars for
you!”
Katherine didn’t believe: “Really?”
She was hesitant, so they encouraged her to give it a try.
“Did you… give him your most expensive car in the garage?” She pointed at one of the brothers.
Jackson didn’t hesitate and threw the keys over with a smile.
The crowd cheered.
She tried a few more times, asking for this and that, and he just indulged her.
The atmosphere in the private room reached its peak in an instant: “See, Mr. Pruitt is serious about you. I can see you’ve
relaxed a bit. Agree to be Mr. Pruitt’s lover!”
Katherine looked stubborn and said, “No way! I will never be someone’s lover! If you keep saying that, I’m out of here!”
Everyone was afraid that she would really leave, so they quickly changed the subject and invited her to play games.
Every round, they deliberately made Katherine lose.
The big adventure was either sitting on Jackson’s lap or holding hands with him.
And Katherine’s tenth dare was to kiss someone of the opposite sex on the left for three minutes.
There was a cheer in the private room, and Jackson happened to be sitting on the left of Katherine.
Her expression froze instantly, and she stood up abruptly, saying, “Are you guys doing this on purpose? If you keep it up,
I’m not playing anymore.”
“Just playing around, don’t take it so seriously.”
“Yeah, how could we possibly cheat? Mr. Pruitt is worth billions, is he such a naive person?”
Shania gripped the wine glass tightly, watching Jackson with a smile on his lips.
How come not?
In order to create opportunities to get close to Katherine, he, with his billions of wealth, actually didn’t hesitate to play
such childish tricks with his brothers.
The last time I saw him like this was when he was chasing after her.
Her heart felt like it was being slowly cut by a blunt knife, hurting so much that she was bleeding, and what made her even more uncomfortable was that her breathing was getting harder and harder.
She felt uncomfortable and covered her chest, only to find out that her arms were already covered with terrifying rashes.
This is clearly an allergy.

But she was always very careful about what she ate.
She couldn’t breathe properly and vaguely remembered the allergy medicine Katherine had given her.
Amidst the cheering crowd, Katherine quickly kissed Jackson on the cheek.
He was obviously dissatisfied, suddenly grabbed the back of her head and said, “What kind of kiss is this? Let me teach
you what a real kiss is.”
The next second, Shania watched them kissing with his fingers tangled in her long hair.
Without noticing at all, his wife’s rash had spread to her neck and her breathing was getting faster and faster.
“Jackson…” Shania struggled to grab his arm, “Take me to the hospital… I’m having an allergic reaction…”
“Don’t mess around,” he pushed her away without even looking back, while still holding onto Katherine’s neck from
behind.
“Please…” she pleaded, tugging at his sleeve again, her voice hoarse.
This time he just pushed her away and pinned Katherine on the sofa to deepen the kiss.
The kiss got harder, more addictive, and more lingering.
Just as he was immersed in the game, Shania’s vision started to blur, and she stumbled and fell onto the champagne
tower.
In the sound of glass shattering, finally heard Katherine’s scream: “She fainted!”
