Chapter 113: Chapter 113

"Flora, what's wrong with you? Why are you staring blankly?" Auntie Grace looked at Flora who was lost in thought, and then took the newspaper from her hands, saying, "Forget it, you're pregnant. It's better not to look at such cruel images. It affects your mood."

Flora stared at her empty hands and let out another bitter smile. Cruel images? Heaven knows she saw the crime scene last night. She even witnessed those two people lying in a pool of blood, their blood staining her clothes!

Flora shivered for no reason, shook her head, and decided not to think about the events of yesterday. Maxwell was right; she should forget about it. Changing the subject, she asked, "Auntie, what about Chloe? Did she tire you out last night?"

"She was so drunk, it's strange if she didn't exhaust me. Thankfully Linda helped take care of her. It's really beyond my control when a girl like her gets drunk like this. "

Flora smiled and comforted her, "Auntie, Chloe doesn't behave like this all the time. It's rare. Just forgive her for this once. But after getting so drunk last night, she must be feeling uncomfortable and still sleeping, right?"

"She went to City A early in the morning, I don't know what she's doing there," Auntie Grace casually mentioned.

Flora was surprised to learn that Auntie Grace still didn't know what Chloe was doing in City A. Well, if she knew, she wouldn't let her go. After all, it's not appropriate for her to go, considering her identity.

Flora never expected that Chloe, who had always been cold towards Mark, would agree to go to City A. It seems that her heart is still kind. Even though she hates Mark to the core and has nothing to do with his mother's situation. In the end, she still went for the sake of Mark's mother's peace and happiness. Flora's admiration for Chloe increased by a notch!

A day later, Chiyoko finally contacted Philip and entered the private room of the hotel. She angrily shouted at him, "Look at what you've done! Do you know you almost killed me?!"

Philip calmly walked towards her and placed his hand on her slender waist, smiling lightly. "Miss Chiyoko, even if he finds out that it was you who ordered it, who in this world would dare to lay a finger on you, Chiyoko Tokugawa?" As he spoke, Philip leaned forward, burying his face in her neck, intoxicatingly breathing in her unique fragrance.

Chiyoko pushed him away in disgust and scolded, "You, all you do is chase after women all day. You can't accomplish anything substantial! Get away from me!" She had spent an entire day and night without sleep, and this man didn't seem to care at all.

And would Maxwell be lenient towards her because of Yota Gang's influence? Absolutely not! If he did, she wouldn't have been imprisoned for over a year. Chiyoko knew very well how ruthless Maxwell was. Yet, this cruel man seemed to be like a poison deeply embedded in her heart, making it impossible for her to let go, unable to be without him!

Seeing her in such a state of urgency, Philip stepped forward again, patting her shoulder to comfort her.

"Don't worry, Maxwell probably doesn't know that this is related to you. He only warned me to be more cautious without mentioning you."

"Is that so?" Chiyoko asked incredulously. Given Maxwell's shrewdness, he shouldn't be unaware, right?

"Why don't you just say some words to deceive him, and coax him? Isn't this your specialty?" Philip looked at her sardonically, his words dripping with envy.

Chiyoko ignored his sarcasm and sneered in dissatisfaction, "Philip, it seems that your abilities are too mediocre. You can't even kill a woman, and yet you dare to accept an assassination order from my uncle?"

This hit a nerve for Philip, who glared at her angrily. Through gritted teeth, he retorted, "If the information hadn't leaked and let Maxwell know, Flora would have died long ago. And yet, you dare to sit here and criticize?"

"Whose fault is it that the information leaked? Isn't it your fault for being careless?" Chiyoko sneered, looking him up and down. This man, compared to Maxwell, is far inferior in both style and ability. He is simply not his match!

Enraged, Philip pushed her down onto the bed, his slightly plump body pressing against her. Glaring at her, he gritted his teeth, "Just killing a girl? Wait and see, before tomorrow, I will bring you the news of Flora's death."

With a loud smack, Chiyoko slapped him hard across the face, "Haven't you caused enough harm to me? And you dare to do more?"

Startled, Philip held his stinging cheek with one hand and questioned with disbelief, "What do you mean? So, you're just going to let her go?" Was it that easy for her to give up? It didn't seem like Chiyoko Tokugawa's character at all!

Indeed, this was not Chiyoko's character. She coldly smirked and pushed him away, standing up from the bed, she said with a chilling tone, "Of course, I won't let her go, but the situation is tense now. We can only strike when Maxwell lowers his guard. I hope for the next time... you'll be smarter!" Chiyoko glanced at him coldly.

"The next time, she won't be so lucky!" Philip's face also showed a sense of indifference.

Chiyoko didn't believe his words at all. she put on her sunglasses and hat and walked towards the door while wearing her high heels.

Philip grabbed her hand in a panic and said, "Miss Chiyoko, are you leaving now?" There was endless anticipation on his face.

Chiyoko shook off his hand disdainfully and sneered, "Do I have to stay and accompany you? You can't even handle a small matter, and you still want to have sex with me? Dream on!" With that, she brushed off his hand and walked out of the private room, heading towards the elevator.

Philip watched her graceful figure, feeling both angry and helpless. If she wasn't Itou Tokugawa's niece, he would have pinned her down on the bed long ago. Unfortunately, her status only allowed him to have impure thoughts but not the courage to act on them!
