Chapter 56
After taking a refreshing bath, I started my skincare routine. At that moment, Frederic walked in through the door.
I was very curious about why the number of times he entered my room increased dramatically after I was reborn.
“Why don’t you want me to attend Janessa’s engagement party?” Frederic approached my dressing table, his tone relatively calm. He casually leaned against the edge of the table. His long legs, clad in black trousers, towered over my tabletop.
“I didn’t say I didn’t want you to go. You’re just too sensitive,” I replied helplessly.
“Is it because Tristan is also going?” Frederic lowered his gaze, furrowing his brows slightly. This expression often foreshadowed his rapidly deteriorating mood.
I felt my temples pounding. What is he saying? What does Tristan want to involve me in?
“No. Frederic, what do you really want to say? Just say it. We’ve never needed to be so subtle between us,” I said, circling my fingertips on the face mask. Once the mask adhered, I took out a massager and began massaging my face to enhance absorption.
“I told you before, it’s fine for us to do our own things, but your goal –should not be getting close to men who are close to me. Have you
already forgotten what I said?” Frederic’s aura suddenly turned cold, and his voice became gloomy.
I was speechless and puzzled. “Who told you that I have a relationship

with Tristan?”
Frederic stared at me without saying a word. I began to guess, “Is it what Davin said?”
Davin could never keep a secret. I believe that Davin must have already told Frederic about what happened last time at Blossom Club. Plus, the fact that I had Tristan help me run errands to buy intimate items before has made Frederic deeply suspicious.
Frederic was originally a man with a deep city, and any abnormality could alert him. Despite his relatively young age, his cunning and calculation surpassed those of predecessors who had been in the business world for decades, and he was even more scheming than
them.
Before, Tristan and I only knew each other’s names and appearances. Apart from that, we had no interaction at all.
“Explain,” Frederic straightened his body, with his hands casually inserted in his trouser pockets, and looked down at me from above.
“What explain? I am not familiar with him.” I didn’t want to explain.
“If you weren’t familiar with him, how did he suddenly get your phone number?” Frederic was very displeased with my dismissive attitude. A hint of anger appeared on his handsome face. “Sylvia Scott, don’t you fucking challenge my limits!”
I was taken aback by his anger and looked up at him with wide eyes. “Frederic, are you deliberately picking a fight with me? Let me tell you, it was Tristan who contacted me first from the beginning. Why don’t you go and ask him how he got my number?”
The photo of me and Ruben was sent to me by Tristan, otherwise I wouldn’t have had Tristan’s contact information at all. I had asked him for it, but he didn’t give it to me.
Frederic didn’t say anything and picked up his phone to call Tristan.
I thought it wouldn’t work out like this. Tristan is difficult to deal with. What if he directly sends Frederic the photos of me and Ruben when questioned by Frederic?
How do I explain Ruben’s identity to Frederic? Frederic should have already known who Emilia’s boyfriend is. He will immediately recognize that I know Emilia’s boyfriend when he sees the photo.
I didn’t want to lose the advantage of being reborn so quickly. I wanted to wait until Frederic and Emilia’s relationship progressed further before speaking.
“Frederic!” I called out, then ripped off the mask and rushed over, attempting to snatch his phone away. “How could you do this? If I really had something scandalous going on with Tristan, how could I still be sleeping with you?”
Frederic seemed somewhat speechless by my response. He raised his arm, holding his phone so high that I couldn’t even reach it. He coldly replied, “Who says a woman can’t sleep with two men? I have no idea what happened while I was away on a business trip.“.
Although I, as a modern woman, had relatively open views on sexuality, it did not mean that I could accept being defamed.
