Kenneth’s expression changed drastically. “Why would he…”
“You don’t get to mess with those close to Mr. Fenton. I’ve given you your warning.”
Anson didn’t elaborate, but his implication was terrifying enough.
Erasmo ruled the business world in Skiynia. A word from him, and the Tomlinson family would be ruined in one breath.
“Kenneth, we…”
Kenneth slapped Florence across the face hard and snapped, “Look at what you’ve done!”
cross eyes
Florence covered her cheek, her eyes turning red. Not daring to retort, she thought viciously, “This is all Nevaeh’s fault. She did this to our family!”
Meanwhile, Erasmo was waiting for Nevaeh in the venue. He stood alone, attracting the attention of many.
“Erasmo, are you here alone today?” Willa Haase stepped forward and handed him a glass of wine with a charming smile.
“What’s it to you?” His gaze was icy and distant.
She deliberately tugged her neckline lower and leaned closer to him, saying seductively, “Erasmo, aren’t you lonely?”
With this, she tugged at his sleeve suggestively.
Suddenly, Nevaeh’s stunning face emerged in his mind. She had never tried to win his favor with such a lame means.
With disgust in his eyes, he pushed Willa away. “Piss off.”
Willa couldn’t believe how she had been treated, and she still wouldn’t let go. “Come on, Erasmo. Don’t be so shy. I promise I won’t tell anyone about us.”
“You’re delusional.” His sharp gaze swept over the fawning smile on her face. Then he said with a half-smile, “Scram.”
Willa’s face fell. It was the first time she had been rejected by a man.
Pursing her lips, she still wouldn’t give up. “Erasmo, are you with someone? Well, I’m sure you’ll get sick of her soon- er or later. Why don’t you give it a go with me? Perhaps you’ll realize I’m the best for you.”
Meanwhile, Nevaeh happened to step inside and hear Willa’s words. She felt inferior as she spotted Willa’s curva- ceous figure.

Realizing she ought to fulfill her duty, she stepped forward and interrupted, clearing her throat, “Ma’am, are you in the wrong place?”
“Who are you? Can’t you see Erasmo and I are in the middle of something?” Willa said in an affectedly sweet voice coquettishly.
Her voice gave Nevaeh goosebumps, and she forced a smile. “All you gotta know is I’m not a lesbian.”
Suddenly, Erasmo yanked Nevaeh into his arms. “I’m with her.”
Both Nevaeh and Willa fell silent.

Sizing Nevaeh up, Willa gritted her teeth, not at all convinced. “Erasmo…”
“Are you deaf or what?” The impatience on Erasmo’s face was undisguised.

A rosy hue spread across Nevaeh’s cheeks as she was a bit at a loss at Erasmo’s sudden move. She stuttered, “Y-Yeah, as you can see, we’re seeing each other.”
Leaning against Erasmo’s arms, she couldn’t help but reach out and pinch his toned chest. It felt indeed great.
Sensing her hand, Erasmo arched at eyebrow slightly. Willa keenly noticed it and frantically fled away because she thought he’d snap.
Nevaeh couldn’t help but pray silently for Willa as she saw Willa’s stilettos.
“Enjoying what you feel?” Just then, Erasmo’s voice rang out. They were so close that his warm breath brushed against her ear.

She immediately withdrew her hand and said righteously, “I was just trying to be more convincing. Surely that’s OK with you, right, Mr. Fenton?”
He arched an eyebrow, and she didn’t dare to meet his sharp gaze at all.
Luckily, he didn’t continue to grill her. Instead, he just warned her not to do the same thing again.
