Substitute Bride: Utterly Pampered by Her Billionaire Husband
Chapter 934: He’s Going on a Date
CHAPTER 934: CHAPTER 934: HE’S GOING ON A DATE
Her voice, tinged with a mix of faint resentment and a hint of coquettishness, successfully made Justin Xavier pause his action of downing his drink.
Justin Xavier watched her stick her tongue out at him and thought that even the old lecher, President Stone, underestimated her. She was definitely a master at manipulating men. If she didn’t want them, they were simply out of her reach.
"Red wine can be spicy?" He curled his thin lips, revealing a hint of a smile.
"Of course it’s spicy. Try it." Leah Thorne reached out her small hand to take the glass from his palm, then brought the red wine to his lips.
Justin Xavier looked at her and drank the wine she fed him.
Leah Thorne didn’t stop, feeding him the remaining half glass of red wine.
"President Xavier, the red wine is finished. Can I leave now?" Leah blinked her long lashes at him.
Justin Xavier’s mouth was filled with the rich aroma of red wine. It wasn’t spicy at all, but sweet, very sweet.
In that moment, he suddenly had a strong urge... an urge to taste the red wine in her mouth, to see if it was truly spicy?
Justin Xavier roughly pinched her waist, then let her stand up, "Go ahead."
Leah Thorne turned and left the luxurious private room.
...
Leah Thorne arrived at the presidential suite of the hotel. She took off her high heels and walked to the dressing table, lifting her clothes to check where he had pinched her earlier. He had used quite a bit of strength, leaving a purplish mark on her tender waist.
Leah Thorne had every reason to suspect he was a man prone to sexual violence.
At this moment, the doorbell of her room rang with a "ding".
Leah walked over to open the door, and Madame Goldie was outside.
Madame Goldie walked in and handed her a string of phone numbers, "Leah, why did you suddenly want President Stone’s phone number? Could it be, you want to approach President Stone?"
Leah took the number and nodded, "Yes, I want to call President Stone."
Madame Goldie’s mouth dropped open, "Leah, let me remind you, President Xavier was already quite upset in the luxury suite earlier. If President Xavier knows you called President Stone, the consequences will be serious, not something that can be smoothed over by feeding him a glass of wine."
Leah didn’t respond and directly took out her phone, dialing President Stone’s number.
Soon, the call connected, and President Stone’s drunken voice came through, "Hello, who... who is this?"
"President Stone, it’s me," Leah Thorne spoke up.
"Leah... Beauty Thorne?" President Stone, who had just finished the meal and made his way to his room, leapt from his chair in shock and delight upon hearing Leah Thorne’s voice, "Beauty Thorne, why are you calling me?"
"President Stone, it’s like this. I want to know about the matters between my mom and Hugh Xavier," Leah went straight to the point.
"Oh, that matter! I do know about it, very clearly, actually. Back then, Hugh and I were good friends. Family arranged for him to marry Laura Xavier, but he didn’t like her at all. The one he kept longing for was his goddess in his heart, who had already become the celebrated young wife of the high-standing Thorne family, your mom."
"Every time Hugh and I went out drinking, he’d say he was utterly tired of Laura. Laura was a proper lady, with no enthusiasm in bed. Every time he shared a bed with Laura, he imagined her as your mom."
"Hugh really loved your mom. Those mistresses he sought outside, those women he had on the side, they all resembled your mom, but it wasn’t enough. He had to have your mom, so one time he bought some drugs..." President Stone seemed to realize he had slipped, as his voice suddenly stopped.
Leah Thorne coldly laughed in her heart. Laura was a striking beauty in her youth, yet she was discarded like old shoes by Hugh. He even shared their bedroom secrets with friends casually. It was evident that Laura’s tragic life was crafted entirely by this despicable man.
Leah Thorne knew President Stone had reached the crux of the matter—the sensational scene that unfolded the day her parents died in that car accident.
Laura rushed to the hotel and caught her mom with Hugh in bed, and later crippled her own legs, harboring hatred for her mom and Leah for so many years.
Justin Xavier also thought all the Xavier family’s pain was inflicted by her mom, hence he wanted to ruin her.
But she knew it was Hugh who drugged her mom and took her to the hotel that day.
If she reveals the truth from those years ago, she wondered how Justin Xavier and Laura would cope?
This President Stone still maintained a tight lip, even drunk, guarding this secret.
"President Stone, what happened next? Why did you stop talking?" Leah Thorne smiled.
"Oh, the events afterward I don’t quite remember, I don’t quite remember..."
Leah Thorne’s charming eyes filled with a hint of cold laughter, "Is that so? How about... I come over to your room now and have a heart-to-heart, and see if President Stone can recall those past events."
Leah Thorne was going to President Stone’s room.
On the other end, President Stone was taken aback, as if a gigantic prize had suddenly landed on his lap, overjoyed, "Beauty Thorne, you really want to come to my room?"
"Yes, President Stone, wait for me." Leah Thorne hung up the call.
Beside her, Madame Goldie couldn’t help but jump up, shocked as she looked at Leah Thorne, "Leah, you... are you really going to President Stone’s room? Have you lost your mind? President Stone travels with many bodyguards; once you’re in, you won’t be able to get out!"
"Moreover... what if President Xavier finds out about this? You going to President Stone’s room at night, President Xavier will eat you alive!"
Leah Thorne draped a coat over her shoulders. She knew, when she dined with President Stone, Justin Xavier already forced wine on her. If Justin knew she went to President Stone’s room, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Leah Thorne raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear lazily, then picked up her phone, opening up WeChat.
"Leah, who are you messaging on WeChat?"
"Justin Xavier."
Leah indeed messaged Justin Xavier, President, would you like to meet me in my room tonight?
With a "ding", Justin Xavier replied almost instantly really?
Leah replied come if you want, don’t if you don’t.
Justin Xavier replied, wait for me.
After sending the WeChat message, Leah tucked her phone into her coat pocket and left the room to find President Stone.
Madame Goldie watched Leah Thorne’s figure retreat and shivered inexplicably. Leah, this time you’ve played it big; President Xavier will take it seriously!
...
Justin Xavier finished handling some urgent documents and then told his personal secretary, "You can head back now."
"Yes, President."
Justin Xavier stood in front of the mirror, looking at his handsome face resembling jade, then ran his hand through his hair and unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, revealing the exquisite collarbones of a man.
"President, are you going... on a date or something?"
