The Heiress’ Hidden Alliance

Reborn for Revenge 

Chapter 116 Guarding Against A Thief 

To Aurelia, Matthew had always appeared aloof and indifferent. 

When he spoke, his voice naturally held a sense of aloofness and coldness. 

Furthermore, he had an incredibly handsome face that was truly a gift from heaven.

This contrast between his usual abstinence and the fiery words he now spoke created a stark and alluring temptation. 

His breath teased her car, causing her sensitive skin to flush. 

Matthew’s eyes darkened quickly as his fingertip touched her face, experiencing the expected softness. 

As his lips were about to meet hers, Aurelia pushed him away. 

It was easy to get mesmerized by his allure. Though she felt a bit dazed under his gaze, she wasn’t ready 

yet. 

“I haven’t showered yet. I’ll go shower. You… you go enjoy the hot spring first,” Aurelia stammered, pushing Matthew out of the bathroom without daring to look at him. 

Matthew, sull caught in a wave of desire, was suddenly pushed out. 

Following that, the sound of the bathroom door being locked echoed. 

It was like she was guarding against a thief. 

His half–lidded eyes still held traces of desire as he looked at the locked door. 

Normally, she seemed fierce and bold, quick to praise herself, but the next moment, she retreated into her shell. 

She had agreed to his proposal that afternoon without hesitation, probably not realizing what being a real couple entailed. 

Matthew’s mind conjured up images of Aurelia’s flushed cheeks and trembling eyelashes, causing his Adam’s apple to bob once more. 

In a slightly hoarse voice, he said, “Okay.” 

Hearing his response, Aurelia felt her heartbeat quicken. 

What she had said about showering could easily be misunderstood! 

Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm herself as if she was sweeping things under the rug. 

His body was indeed amazing. She hadn’t counted, but how many abs did he have? 

Matthew held two glasses of red wine, placing them beside the hot spring pool. 

As he closed his eyes, basking in the tranquility of the night, he heard a familiar voice emanating from another mansion..

It was Justin on the phone. 

“Tell my wife I’m already on a business trip. Don’t say too much.” 

Then, presumably, he ended the call and soon started another one. 

Finished 

“I just got off the plane. The video conference ended early, and they were pushing for the contract signing tomorrow morning. I didn’t have time to tell you, Why aren’t you resting at home?” 

“That’s a pity. We’ll go out to cat when I get back.” 

“Nancy, you’re the best. Be good and go home to sleep. I’ll bring you a gift when I return.” 

Listening to Justin’s skilled explanations and lies, Matthew showed no change in expression as he picked up his glass and took a sip of wine. 

Meanwhile, Nancy felt both disappointed and dejected after ending the call with Justin. 

She had wasted a trip. 

While she was waiting at the restaurant earlier, she noticed an adult novelty store that was open twenty- four hours downstairs. She had picked out an especially provocative outfit. 

She had planned to dress up for him, but he was nowhere to be found. 

Her husband was truly too busy. 

As she turned to leave, the head receptionist, who had been working overtime at the company, let out a sigh of relief. 

A friend of hers who also worked as a receptionist often covered for her boss, and she thought she wouldn’t need to since Justin’s wife rarely visited the company. 

Justin also seemed to stay away from other ladies. 

Many girls in the company admired him, but nothing ever came of it. 

However, everything changed after Gwendolyn joined the company. Gwendolyn was stunning, with a figure more voluptuous than celebrities and highly capable. In comparison, Justin’s stay–at–home wife seemed lacking. 

Still, his wife was pitiful, being in the dark about everything. 

Sitting in the car, Nancy sent Aurelia a message out of boredom: My trip was wasted. What a pity for my sexy outfit. He said he’d leave tomorrow, but he went today. 

After a few minutes with no response from Aurelia, Nancy played with her phone, thinking Aurelia might be asleep by now. 

At Eclipse Bar, amidst the dancing lights, a woman’s alluring figure swayed rhythmically to the music. 

Her waist brushed against the man dancing closely with her. 

The man’s hand slid up her waist.

“Hey beautiful, how about we get a room upstairs?” 

Finished 

Melanie hadn’t let herself enjoy this kind of freedom in a long time. She leaned into the man’s chest. “Got anything good to share?” 

The man let out a wickedly charming laugh. Being a regular here, he naturally knew what the good stuff 

was. 

“Of course. There is some new stuff that makes you feel great. Want to try it first and then head upstairs?” he asked. 

Melanie didn’t hesitate. She was experienced in such matters. 

In the Leedon family, she always played the good daughter, never daring to show this side of herself. 

Now, she just wanted to be happy and knew how to achieve that. 

She could see the desire in the man’s eyes. 

While dancing, she felt his size and was pleased. Tonight wouldn’t be boring. 

Soon, in a corner, Melanie was handed two or three inconspicuous–looking jelly beans. 

“Take them all. They’ll leave you feeling euphoric as if you’re floating in a cloud.” 

Without hesitation, Melanie swallowed them with her drink, swayed by his words. 

In another corner, a man drinking alone recorded this scene. 

At the same time, Curtis, who had been facing constant rejections in his job search, arrived at the bar. 

He knew Melanie liked to frequent it. They’d been there together a few times. The atmosphere could easily tempt one into decadence. He and Melanie had done everything in this bar. 

In the crowd, Curtis saw Melanie drinking intimately with another man. 

His eyes burned with anger. If it hadn’t been for Melanie’s gradual seduction, he would still be with Aurelia. 

Yet, the instigator of his downfall, Melanie, could still enjoy herself so freely. 

He marched over, only to see Melanie and the man enter an elevator going straight to the rooms on the eighth floor. 

Before the doors closed, Curtis entered, pulling his cap low to hide his face. 

He watched as Melanie and the man passionately kissed in the elevator, oblivious to anyone else. 

On the eighth floor, they hurried into a room, not even closing the door properly. 

In their haste, the keycard was dropped on the floor. 

If they had been sober, they would have noticed that the door was left ajar, and the keycard was dropped. 

Curtis quiero entered with his phone in hand and proceeded into the bathroom

He recorded their wild antics.

After her shower. Aurelia came out in her swimsuit, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders. 

The new swimsuit the staff had brought was more conservative than the last one but in a pale yellow that complemented her skin tone.
