CHAPTER 352: CHAPTER 350: CONFRONTATION BETWEEN SCOUNDRELS [5TH UPDATE]

Beside the large bed, Henry Reid watched Noah Owen’s smug, arrogant demeanor and thought about her criticisms of him, feeling unbalanced inside.

So he suddenly grabbed Noah’s wrist, threw her onto the bed, trapped her in his arms, and sneered, "You drank too much last night and didn’t remember my bravery, but that’s okay, I can let you feel it again."

As a man, nothing is more demoralizing than this, so even if he detests Noah, he must grit his teeth and subdue her, lest she spread rumors outside and tarnish his reputation.

On the bed, the trapped Noah began to feel anxious,

but she knew that if she blindly resisted, she would only receive Henry’s mockery. To spar with such a scoundrel, she must be even more shameless to have a chance of winning.

Therefore, she quickly flipped over, sat on Henry’s waist, grabbed his collar, and said, "Alright! So you won’t say I didn’t give you a chance to defend yourself."

After speaking, she roughly tore open Henry’s pajamas to provoke him.

Actually, she internally wished she could cut off her own hand, but had no choice — as the saying goes, ’saving face while suffering,’ which aptly described her situation at that moment.

Henry, seeing her initiative, was infuriated. Initially thinking he could turn the tables, it seemed futile once more.

Thus, he spun around and flung Noah off dismissively, saying, "Noah, I’ve never seen such a shameless woman as you."

"Young Master Reid, what’s the matter with you? Not defending yourself?" Noah observed his furious expression, thoroughly amused, thinking to herself that he was far from her level in matching wits!

Hearing Noah’s sarcasm, Henry immediately climbed up from the bed, pointed at the door, and said, "Get out! Stop disgusting me."

"Oh! Can’t do it yourself, and you’re mad at someone else, tsk tsk tsk... your temperament..." Henry’s phrase ’old woman’ made Noah resentful.

Up to this point, using his shortcomings to mock him finally brought some satisfaction to her heart. But thinking this satisfaction came from losing herself, she felt uneasy, yet pretended to be gracious as she walked out of Henry’s suite.

She opened the door. Leaving the suite, she glanced at the room number, realizing she had indeed mistaken the room.

Following this, she angrily lifted her right leg and kicked the door hard as a form of relief.

In her own room, Noah stood before the mirror, looking at the marks left on her body, frustrated, scratching her head, thinking how she could’ve mistaken the room. Why didn’t Henry close the door when he entered?

What bothered her even more was that to humiliate Henry, she gambled away her lucky coin — what an unworthy expense!

Meanwhile, inside Henry’s suite, he stared at the dime Noah gave him, as if looking at his humiliation. After furiously throwing the coin on the ground, he picked it up again.

This coin was evidence of his disgrace. He must keep it to constantly remind himself that he and Noah are irreconcilable, and one day, he’ll make her bow and admit her fault.

Simultaneously, he scrubbed himself in the bathroom multiple times, trying to erase someone’s scent, but it was inescapable. Undeniably, she really was quite enjoyable.

That night’s feelings for both couldn’t be erased. Each time the night was quiet, they would think of each other.

Noah seemed possessed; whenever a man touched her, Henry’s shameless figure would flash through her mind.

Henry was the same; after that night, no matter how tempting the women he saw were, he felt no impulse.

During a Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, Maya Spencer clarified her stance to Lillian Morris, her relationship with Liam Spencer was also getting better, marking the beginning of complications between Henry and Noah.

Maya injured her leg, so Liam stayed in her villa accommodating her needs. Not only did Sister Taylor care for them, but Aunt Smith also frequently brought soup to the villa and often invited Maya to stay at Liam’s villa.

A week later, Maya couldn’t resist Aunt Smith’s enthusiasm any longer and finally agreed.

On this day, Liam returned from work and hadn’t entered the door yet when he asked Maya, who was on the living room sofa, "Maya, did your leg hurt today?"

In the living room, Maya heard someone’s inquiry, flipped over from the back of the sofa with a "whoosh," jumped around a few times, and said, "It’s completely better already."

The girl’s joyful demeanor made Liam smile broadly and open his arms, saying, "Hug."

Maya saw his beaming smile, pursed her lips in a secret smile, then quickly stepped forward, swiftly rushing to him and jumping onto him with a "whoosh," wrapping her legs tightly around his waist and her hands on his shoulders, shaking them incessantly.

Seeing her happiness, Liam bit her lip and asked, "Did Aunt leave?"

"Guess!" Maya replied mischievously.

These days, Maya was in good spirits. Initially thinking Liam would take action against Lillian after returning from the resort, he did not. Regarding the incident of that day, Liam did not mention a word nor did he make things difficult for Lillian, which made Maya treat him even better.

Seeing the girl’s mischievous smile, he knew he could have her tonight, so he took a bite on her lip and said, "Little thing, don’t even think about sleeping tonight."

As he spoke, he held Maya and quickly headed to the second floor. Just as they reached the bedroom, Maya was instantly undressed by him.

Maya saw his impatient demeanor, flicked his forehead teasingly, "Who sleeps first, isn’t certain yet!"

Maya’s cocky demeanor unmistakably conveyed her eagerness.

So, Liam smiled wickedly and said, "Little thing,

The next morning, she was jolted out of a sweet dream by a noisy phone call. Seeing the words "Ella Turner," she suddenly opened her eyes wide, answered the call, and asked, "Ella, what’s up?"

"Maya, I have a really urgent matter to tell you, come quickly." On the other end of the line, Ella rushed her.

Therefore, Maya hung up the phone and immediately got out of bed, heading straight to Ella’s place.

When the two met, Ella grabbed her hand and said, "I’m taking you somewhere."

In Ella’s car, Maya furrowed her brows tightly, staring at Ella’s eyes in confusion, asking, "Ella, where are you taking me?"

"You’ll know when we get there. In any case, it’s for your good." Ella glanced at Maya briefly, explaining perfunctorily, and then pressed the accelerator to the floor, accelerating once more, proving the urgency of the matter.
