"You mean Miss Spencer?" The receptionist smiled. "Room 906."

Previously, when Ria Chapman and Irene Spencer were on good terms, they often came and went together. The receptionist had no idea about their current relationship, nor did she suspect anything.

Ria Chapman dashed to the elevator entrance and headed to the ninth floor. Looking around, she quickly spotted Kris Cooper at the end of the hallway.

He was standing in front of a door. It was pulled open, a figure emerged, and Ria Chapman instantly recognized Irene Spencer’s profile.

"No! You gotta be shitting me!"

In an instant, she was covered in cold sweat.

Deep down, she had always believed Kris Cooper would never do such a thing. But now, seeing him walk into Irene Spencer’s room with her own eyes, doubt crept into her mind.

"I swear, you men are all the same! I’m going to call Vera right now."

She pulled out her phone, found Vera’s number, moved her finger to dial, but then hesitated.

Having grown up with Kris Cooper, she had even harbored a secret crush on him. Of course, she didn’t want to expose him. But then, thinking about Vera, she gritted her teeth. Ever since Vera had saved her that one time, Ria had looked up to her as an idol. She couldn’t let Vera be deceived!

"No, I won’t let you get away with this, you bastard!"

She dialed the number, and the call was quickly picked up.

"Ria, what’s up?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

On the other end, Vera’s voice sounded warm.

After the incident, the two women had communicated often. Even when Vera was in prison, Ria had visited her several times, weeping loudly each time.

"Vera... uh..." Ria paused, deciding not to be direct. "Could you come to Clover Clubhouse?"

"What’s happened?"

"Not... not much, I just miss you."

"I’m busy right now. Tomorrow, I’ll call you tomorrow, okay?"

"By tomorrow, it’ll be too late."

Sensing the urgency in her voice, Vera probed, "What is it exactly?"

"I...I saw Kris and..." Ria looked into the distance. "Irene Spencer is here too. They’re... in... in the same room."

Vera laughed. "How is that possible? You must have seen wrong."

"I swear, I didn’t. It’s Kris’s blue sports car. We just greeted each other at the entrance. I saw him knock, and it was Irene Spencer who opened the door! I swear, they really are together!"

Ria spoke with such conviction that Vera couldn’t help but take her words seriously.

Of course, she didn’t actually believe Kris Cooper was on a date with Irene Spencer. However, Irene Spencer was another matter. That woman was always devious, always up to something. Thinking this, Vera couldn’t help but feel a little worried about Kris Cooper.

"Alright, I’m coming over right away!"

"Okay, I’ll wait for you. Just head to the ninth floor when you arrive."

Ria ended the call and ran to a corner of the staircase, hiding herself while stealthily peeking.

「Room 906.」

Irene Spencer, having changed and showered, was warmly inviting Kris Cooper to sit on the sofa.

"How have you been? Work going smoothly?"

"You should know I didn’t come here to chat." Kris Cooper took a seat. "Where’s the file?"

Irene Spencer forced a bitter smile. "So, we’ve actually reached the point where we can’t even sit down for a civilized talk?"

Kris Cooper checked his watch, an impatient look on his face. "If you think you can threaten me with those files, then you’re mistaken. Goodbye."
