Chapter 44: Chapter 44

Maxwell sneered at her, assessing her with a mocking tone.

"Don't you think it's meaningless for you to say all this now? Even you yourself are now under my control. Shouldn't I be able to retrieve the necklace?" As he watched her growing panic, Maxwell continued to taunt her. "But rest assured, I keep my word."

Flora lowered her gaze. Whether he kept his word or not, she had no way out anymore. She was trapped in his hands, and she could only pray that fate would intervene and make this devil truly keep his word!

Reluctantly, she took out the necklace from her pocket, trembling slightly, and held it up to him, saying, "If you dare to break your promise, I'll fight you!" She said it without much confidence.

Maxwell playfully surveyed her defiant face, chuckled softly, and put down his drink. With one hand, he hooked the necklace. He held it in front of him, silently observing it. Flora watched him attentively, her heart pounding nervously.

She thought he wouldn't be able to tell, right? Just by using the naked eye, who could tell that the necklace had been repaired? She couldn't tell, Lily couldn't tell, so he... He couldn't be that smart!

Then she saw his palm closing, retrieving the necklace into his grasp. He sneered at her and said, "You should have shown it earlier. Then your Brother Henry wouldn't have suffered so much."

Flora's heart sank back into its place because of his actions. It seemed like her deception had succeeded. The salesman was right; no one could tell that it had been repaired, not even Maxwell!

"Now that the necklace is in your possession, I hope you keep your promise and no longer have any grievances with the White family. I'm leaving." After saying that, Flora turned around and started walking towards the door.

But just as she took a few steps, Maxwell pulled her back into his embrace. He stared at her and coldly ordered, "I also hope that you remember not to mention the name 'Henry' in front of me ever again, and also... " His hand reached towards her heart, "I will make sure you get rid of him from here... "

Flora scoffed, "I hope you get what you wish for!"

She could never forget Henry. Even if he forbade her from mentioning the name 'Henry,' she would keep it firmly in her heart, silently mentioning it to herself.

Maxwell did not respond to her words anymore, he lowered his head and declared his dominance by kissing her. He lightly sucked on her red lips, but this time his kiss was different from before, it even contained a hint of tenderness. Flora couldn't help but succumb and her mind blanked out in embarrassment.

The sound of water in the bathroom had stopped, she knew that the beauty inside would soon come out, and if she was seen... Before Flora's mind completely paralyzed, she started to struggle, trying to break free from his deep kiss.

Maxwell didn't give her a chance to escape, he held her tightly in his arms. Finally, Flora's worst fear came true, the sound of the bathroom door opening came from the other side, followed by a low exclamation that reached her ears. Her body trembled, a cold breath rushed up her spine, and she could even feel the piercing gaze of the woman behind her on her back.

With that, she increased her strength and finally struggled out of his deep kiss, burying her little face in his chest. Because of shame, but also to avoid his lips!

"Maxwell... you...." The beautiful woman in a sexy robe stood in front of the two embracing figures, glaring back and forth at Maxwell and Flora. He was actually holding another woman at this moment? Then what about her?

Maxwell glanced at the woman, then lowered his head and pulled Flora out of his embrace, staring at her blushing face and calmly said, "I will give you a choice, do you want to please me personally or let her do it for you?"

Flora trembled, what kind of question was this? She just realized that his body had undergone subtle changes. After being intimate with him so many times, she understood this physiological change, and without hesitation, she spoke, "Let her please you!"

Maxwell frowned, his face darkened momentarily, "Are you sure?"

"I'm a hundred percent sure!" Flora once again blurted out her arrogance, hoping that he would let her have choices in the future so she wouldn't have to be humiliated by him anymore, so she wouldn't have to sleep with him again!

The beautiful woman behind her heard her words and showed a smile of delight on her face, but Maxwell's attitude still sent shivers down her spine. After following him for so long, she never expected to still be nothing more than a tool for his pleasure. It had been so long since he last sought her, and now she realized that he had a new bed companion.

Observing Flora, who was elegant and beautiful, she couldn't help but admit that she looked good, but she was definitely not Maxwell's type. Why would he choose her if she clearly wasn't his type? This made her feel indignant and confused.

When Maxwell let go, Flora immediately jumped out of his embrace and taunted, "You two have fun, I'm leaving. Goodbye..." After speaking, she turned around and walked out the door without looking back. Leaving behind an angry Maxwell and a contented beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman walked up to the gloomy-faced Maxwell, one of her arms gently wrapped around his neck, while the other lightly undid a button on his chest, her soft hand slid into his shirt like a snake.

Flora left angrily, getting more and more enraged. Today was her day off, yet he still wanted to treat her as a tool for his pleasure? This man was simply despicable to the extreme!

She walked to the elevator and pressed the button. As she waited for the elevator, a scene belonging to Maxwell and that beautiful woman flashed through her mind. A feeling of unwillingness suddenly arose. Even if he was with another woman, she wouldn't let him be comfortable!

With that thought, she turned around and went back, stopping in front of Room 2309. With determination, she kicked the door with all her might! She had planned to kick it and run away, but she didn't realize that the door was so fragile that it opened with just one kick!

To make matters worse, as the door opened, Maxwell happened to appear right in front of her. It seemed that it was not the door's quality that was poor, but...

Flora awkwardly looked at him, preparing to leave, and stammered, "Uh... why are you out?"

Her gaze passed through his shoulder, and Flora saw the beautiful woman behind him, already changed into casual clothes, biting her lip and standing behind Maxwell with a face full of bitterness. She didn't seem interested in the door being kicked open at all.

"Miss White, is this childish behavior your way of being jealous?" Maxwell didn't get angry, instead he faintly smiled and looked at Flora mockingly.

"What jealousy? I don't understand what you're talking about. I came back to look for my earring." Flora lied, she had no choice but to continue acting. She pushed him aside and walked past him and the beautiful woman into the suite, then pretended to diligently search for her earring on the carpet next to the liquor cabinet.

Maxwell turned around and taunted her, "Then Miss White, take your time searching. I'll go first." After speaking, he turned and walked towards the door, only leaving when the footsteps of the two had faded away.

It was only then that Flora got up from the floor, touched her earlobe that hadn't worn earrings for nearly a year, and also walked towards the door.
