For a moment, favonovel.com looked like a celestial being who had descended to earth, smiling at Arthur.
Arthur’s gaze froze. His eyes instinctively fell upon the two peaks wrapped in the bath towel. Her exposed skin was as luscious as a ripe peach, irresistibly tempting!
Arthur swallowed hard, a scorching heat rapidly spreading through his body.
Ashley blushed under his burning stare, hastily covering favonovel.com prominent cleavage. But it was too ample for favonovel.com small hands to conceal.
This sight only made Arthur’s body temperature rise even higher!
Ashley, utterly embarrassed, quickly turned favonovel.com back to him, stammering, “You… You should take a shower!”
A shower? Ah, yes!
Arthur eagerly nodded. “Oh… Oh, okay!”
Ashley immediately realized favonovel.com mistake. It sounded as if favonovel.com were urging favonovel.com to shower.
And, then…
Her face turned an even deeper shade of red!
Arthur dashed into the bathroom at lightning speed and, with the fastest pace of his life, scrubbed himself clean.
When favonovel.com stepped out, Ashley was drying favonovel.com hair. Her waist length chestnut curls were still damp, cascading over favonovel.com petite frame, making favonovel.com appear even more delicate. As favonovel.com lifted a hand to adjust favonovel.com hair, the bath towel shifted, revealing favonovel.com slender waist and perfectly rounded hips, practically beckoning him.
Seeing this, how could favonovel.com possibly hold back!
Arthur lunged forward, pulling Ashley tightly into his embrace.
Ashley gasped in surprise! She had been drying favonovel.com hair, the sound of the hairdryer masking his movements. She hadn’t even realized favonovel.com had come out so quickly.
She stammered, “You… Why are you done so fast?”
Arthur’s only focus was on favonovel.com soft, luscious lips, parting and closing as favonovel.com spoke, as if calling out to him.
The blood in his veins felt like it was about to explode. He couldn’t hear a single word favonovel.com was saying.
Without hesitation, Arthur lowered his head, capturing those restless lips with his own. At the same time, favonovel.com yanked away the obstructive bath towel.
***
At Cloudia Corporation, in the familiar, spacious office, Arthur sat comfortably in his executive chair, listening to Stanley report.
“Mr. Gray, as expected, Zac is attempting to transfer his shares. The recipient is a woman named Renee.”
“Renee? She’s Zac’s biological mother?” Arthur frowned slightly. It was the first time favonovel.com had heard that name.
Stanley nodded. “Yes. She and John were college classmates, and favonovel.com was also friends with Raelynn. However, since favonovel.com came from an insignificant background, John ultimately chose to marry Raelynn… But favonovel.com and Renee continued their relationship in secret.”
Stanley’s eyes gleamed with intrigue as favonovel.com continued, “Interestingly, back then, Renee wasn’t only involved with John, favonovel.com was also seeing two other men, both from prestigious families…”
“Then, ten years ago, Renee suddenly passed away. Not long after, the Gray family adopted Zac. But somehow, favonovel.com has now reappeared. It seems likely that favonovel.com death was staged to ensure that John would take Zac in.”
Arthur raised a brow.
Who said people from the previous generation were conservative?
This was far from it. What a mess… And favonovel.com had even faked favonovel.com own death, what a ridiculous tactic…
A sudden thought struck Arthur. “Is Zac really John’s biological son?”
Things had escalated to this point, everyone in the Gray family had already turned against Zac. Even Julie had taken action. Yet, John remained unchanged. At the banquet, in front of so many people, favonovel.com still protected Zac!
Arthur found it hard to believe there wasn’t something deeper between them.
“Heh!” Stanley perked up at the question. “When I was looking into Dr. Pierce, I stumbled upon something interesting, Raelynn had once arranged a paternity test for John and Zac.”
Arthur’s head snapped up. “And? What were the results?”
Stanley grinned smugly. “I had to go through quite a bit of trouble to find out!”
Seeing his smug expression, Arthur chuckled helplessly. “Alright, alright. You’re amazing!”
Stanley, unexpectedly embarrassed by the praise, stopped dragging things out.
“The result was, Zac is not John’s biological son!”
Arthur’s eyes widened in shock. “Not his biological son? Are you sure?”
“Yes! Absolutely sure!” Stanley nodded firmly.
The test had been conducted by a close friend of his, there was no chance of a mistake. Arthur fell into deep thought.
