In the corridor, the elevator doors slid open.

Vera Wave hurried out, without glancing either way.

"Sister Vera!" Seeing her, Ria Chapman immediately jogged over. "Come, I’ll take you there!"

Taking hold of Vera, she strode towards Irene Spencer’s room, chattering nonstop, "Don’t be scared. If Brother Kris is really cheating, watch how I’ll sort him out for you..."

When they arrived at room 906, she lifted her hand and knocked sharply on the door.

Inside, hearing the knocking, Kris Cooper speculated that it might be Vera and promptly strode over to open the door.

Ria pushed the door open and dragged Vera inside. She saw Kris, and then Irene sprawled on the floor. Her brows furrowed immediately.

"You guys are really something, even indulging in S&M, huh?"

"Ria!" Vera grabbed her arm. "Don’t spout nonsense."

Holding Ria back, she turned her worried gaze to Kris. "Is everything okay?"

Kris Cooper lightly shook his head and lifted the syringe in his hand.

"You’re going to pay for this!"

Watching the syringe in his hand, Irene’s heart clenched. Using both hands and feet, she scuttled over like a dog, reaching out to grab Kris’s arm.

"Kris, I beg you...spare me this time!"

"I’ve warned you before!" Kris Cooper coldly snorted. "You’ve run out of chances!"

"Kris..."

"Get lost!"

Kris forcefully shrugged off her hand, took Vera’s hand, and started to leave.

"Kris..." Irene rushed over again. Unable to catch Kris, she grabbed onto Vera. "Vera...Vera, please help me...I know I was wrong, please..."

Vera turned to look at Irene’s expression, but felt no sympathy in her heart.

"Irene Spencer, you should know very well that you brought all of this on yourself. I can’t help you!"

"Vera..."

"You are so damned low!" Ria pushed her away. "Seducing someone’s husband and then asking for forgiveness? If I maimed you and asked for your forgiveness, would you forgive me? Absolutely shameless!"

She had misunderstood Kris previously, but now she guessed that Irene was causing trouble.

Irene fell to the ground as the three of them walked out one after another, leaving the door ajar as they departed.

Listening to their receding footsteps, Irene’s expression grew increasingly panicked. The truth is out! Kris won’t let me off. What should I do now?!

Ignoring the messy surroundings and her beaten face, she hastily scrambled to her feet, found her phone, and called her assistant.

"Book me a ticket to America immediately."

"When do you want your ticket for?"

"The sooner the better."

"Why... why are you suddenly going to America?"

"Why all the unnecessary questions? Just do as you’re told!"

After her sharp reprimand, Irene abruptly hung up. She quickly shoved her phone into her backpack, grabbed the bag, and burst out of her hotel room door. Stumbling down the stairs, she got into her car and sped away from the estate.

Given Kris’s nature, he definitely won’t let me off. I must leave before he makes his move—the farther, the better!

「Later.」

In the sports car.

Kris Cooper briefly explained the situation to the two of them.

Of course, he didn’t mention Nathan Leafcastle’s name in front of Ria Chapman. Ria was a straightforward person; if she were to spread word of the matter, it might interfere with his plans.
