Chapter 119: Chapter 119

Chiyoko's words made Maxwell shudder. Was he overreacting? Was he losing control? He realized that his reaction had been too extreme. Flora wasn't his fiancée, so why did he get so enraged? It was simply because she was with Kevin! It was as simple as that.

But what if Flora was with another man? Would he not be so furious? Shaking his head, Maxwell didn't want to entertain that thought. He squeezed Chiyoko, who had settled into his embrace. His hand gripped her slender waist firmly.

Chiyoko could feel her cold sweat breaking out again. He was always like this, only concerned with venting his own emotions, never able to feel other people's pain. Her hands wrapped around his neck, and she murmured, "Oh, Maxwell..."

Maxwell's arm tightened, pulling her tightly into his embrace, while his other hand held her delicate chin. His icy gaze pierced directly into her eyes as he coldly said, "Are you so eager to sleep with me? Hm? Can't you live without a man?"

Women! More despicable than men! Every single one of them can't survive without a man!

"No..." Chiyoko struggled to spit out these words. She couldn't tell if her waist or her chin hurt more, but she knew that if she provoked him further at this moment, she would end up in a horrific state. She regretted it...

"Maxwell... I can live without a man, of course, but I just want you. I want to love you. Only you can make me feel this way..." Chiyoko looked up at him, her voice soft and sincere.

"Get out!" Accompanied by a furious roar, Maxwell harshly threw Chiyoko onto the wool carpet.

Chiyoko screamed in pain. As she lay on the ground and looked back at the bloodshot eyes of Maxwell, she was shocked, panicked, and fearful...

She had said these words to him many times before, but she had still seduced Oliver while he was away on a business trip! Can women's words be trusted? Not at all, and he would never trust them again.

Flora acted as if nothing had happened last night and walked to Kevin's room as usual. When she reached Kevin's door and was about to knock, the door was pulled open from the inside. In front of her stood Kevin, with an expressionless face that showed no emotional change upon seeing her.

"Mr. Kevin, good morning," Flora lowered her head and politely greeted.

Remembering what happened last night, her face turned slightly red. Luckily, they didn't do anything, and everything was fine when she woke up today. She didn't see Kevin around either.

Realizing this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and her fondness for Kevin increased slightly. Then she hurriedly ran to work, still somewhat afraid of seeing him.

"Not bad, you're not even late," Kevin smirked, mocking her.

Flora awkwardly didn't know how to respond to his sarcastic remark. Apologetically, she stammered, "I'm sorry about last night, I'm not good at drinking... Sorry to trouble you... And thank you for helping me to my guest room."

Was it he who helped her? It should be, right? Flora comforted herself in her mind.

"You're welcome, it's what I should do," Kevin coldly looked her up and down, intentionally glancing at her flat stomach. He continued with a mocking tone, "You're about to become a mother, and yet you're here working instead of resting at home?"

"I..." Flora stuttered, feeling even more embarrassed and regretful for telling him this news. She opened her mouth, "I'm sorry, it wasn't my intention to deceive the company. I was planning to quit my job and go home in a few months."

"Why?" Kevin didn't understand.

Has she not deceived the company enough? Even her name is fake. If it were someone else daring to fake their identity like this, they would have been kicked out of the hotel already.

Flora thought for a moment and forced a laugh, "I have to... make some money to support my family, right?" She had nothing now, and she couldn't rely on Auntie Grace and Chloe to support her either.

Upon hearing her words, Kevin's cold smile deepened, and he sneered, "The father of your unborn child has enough money to build a mountain. Do you need to earn this meager amount at Moonlight Hotel?"

"That's his money, it has nothing to do with me," Flora's expression hardened, and she calmly stated. His money was not her concern, and the child in her belly would not be related to him. She would raise this child on her own.

"You're pretending to be noble," Kevin snorted. Suddenly realizing that he had gone too far today, he was being so aggressive and sarcastic towards a girl. Even if she is pregnant with Maxwell's child, he shouldn't have treated her this way.

"I'm not pretending to be noble, Maxwell will never want this child, so I have to give birth to her and raise her alone. Mr. Kevin, not all women are as despicable as you think," Flora spoke calmly.

Kevin was temporarily speechless, unable to say a word.

Flora didn't wait for him to respond and continued speaking softly, "I didn't want this to happen either, but she exists, and I can't do anything about it. Living with this kind of shame is already difficult for me. So, Mr. Kevin, there's no need for you to try to hurt me anymore."

Kevin was shaken by her words. His recent actions had aimed to remind her of the despicable things she had done, to make her suffer. His hatred towards Maxwell had unknowingly been vented on her!

His voice softened as he looked into her eyes, "If you don't love him, why did you sleep with him?" There was a hint of concern in his tone.

Flora took a deep breath and pleaded, "Mr. Kevin, can we please stop discussing this matter?" It was the biggest shame of her life, a shame that she never wanted to mention again.

Unfortunately, Kevin was very interested in her situation, and she knew it was because of Maxwell. Unfortunately, she had been inexplicably dragged into the conflict between the two.

Kevin faltered, although he intended to show concern for her, he realized that he had crossed a line with this question. Everyone has their privacy, and although he hated this particular secret, Flora was innocent. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry."

"Thank you," Flora expressed her gratitude, feeling a sense of relief in her heart.

When she looked up, she saw Kevin looking at her with a concerned expression, tinged with something unusual. Flora was taken aback by this slight shock. Did he have feelings for her that went beyond the relationship between superior and subordinate? Did he love her? That couldn't be possible. Flora shook her head in her mind, finding her thoughts ridiculous. She was just a young waitress, what qualifications did she have to make someone love her? Especially someone so superior.

She had always been aware that his interest in her was because of Maxwell, and in this game, it was clear that Kevin had lost. That's why he said those words just now, apart from their professional relationship, there was nothing left between them!
