Chapter 20

Back then, I was only thinking about how to turn myself into a bargaining chip. That night was more about calculation for both of us.

Today was different.

I could feel clear appreciation in Virio's eyes when he looked at me.

Maybe it was because after hearing what Freya did, I didn't panic at all. Instead, I could take the initiative to spark his interest at this moment.

So my movements became even more enthusiastic.

"Mr. Soren, you know, if you need me, I'll serve you with everything I have, anytime." I meant it when I said these words.

I knew my status didn't completely match Virio's.

But now he had given me the right to be on top.

Sitting on him, I felt like a real queen.

My fingers slowly trace over the tattoos on his body as I let myself moan freely.

Virio's hand also rose, caressing my chest.

I watch his gaze grow more intense, his breathing heavier, until I slide down and pull off his pants. I hear Virio let out an excited gasp.

Until he couldn't take it anymore, he grabbed my waist, lifted me up, and made me sit back down.

That night, we worked together perfectly.

If the previous two times I hadn't completely let go, only wanting to show him my shy side, this time our connection reached an unprecedented level.

Virio keeps saying in my ear, "That's it, Elvira, you're amazing."

His praise excites me even more.

We keep stimulating each other until we finally reach the peak together.

The next morning, I opened my eyes groggily to the sound of my phone ringing like crazy.

I reached out to look - sure enough, it was a call from Freya.

Seeing Freya's name, I immediately thought of yesterday's incident.

So they must have found the body now, and she couldn't wait to confront me?

I couldn't help thinking that Virio had already sent someone to put that body at Freya's bedroom door yesterday.

Freya was only discovering it now - did they go during the night?

After I answer the phone, I glance over.

Virio happened to come out of the bathroom, using a towel to dry his hair.

He had a great body, all muscle.

And of course, in certain moments, his performance was also extreme!

Thinking about this, I cleared my throat uncomfortably, realizing that because I tried so hard last night, my voice was almost hoarse.

The moment I speak, Freya on the other end also pauses, then said through gritted teeth, "Elvira, where are you now? Don't tell me you're at Mr. Soren's house again!"

During this time, I had been staying out all night, always using this excuse.

Actually, I hadn't been sleeping with Virio every day.

But I had used this excuse to investigate quite a few things.

I didn't deny it, just asked Freya, "You're calling me so early in the morning - is something wrong?"

My tone was extremely sarcastic, just like when Killian wanted to arrange me with Hamilton and Freya deliberately kicked me when I was down.

Hearing me say this, Freya screamed even louder on the phone. "So you are with Virio! That means what happened today was his doing, right!"

But I deliberately act confused. "Freya, what are you talking about? I don't understand a word."

My pretending to be dumb irritates Freya even more. She yelled and cursed at me crazily on the phone.

I held the phone away in disgust, ignored her, and hung up directly.

Disturbing my sleep so early in the morning and saying so many disrespectful things to me - Freya really needed to be taught a lesson.

After putting down the phone, Virio had already walked to the bedside, looking at me. "Freya has seen the body?"

I nodded. "To be this angry, it can only be because of this."

"But I thought they would do it during the day."

Virio shook his head. "Charles is very careful about these things; usually does them late at night."

"Plus he needed to make sure you stayed with me last night, otherwise that body might have scared more than just Freya."

My heart skipped a beat.

So they were considering that if I were home when I saw the body, I might have had a bad reaction too.

"Does that mean the body must have looked pretty horrible?"

Virio smiled slightly. "Do you think I would show mercy to someone who tried to hurt my woman?"

These words almost made me lose myself.

But I reminded myself in my heart that this man and I didn't have an exclusive relationship.

What woman couldn't he have?

I absolutely couldn't let my guard down. Instead, I needed to use him as much as possible to help me investigate and achieve my goals!

When I left Virio's house, walking down the street, I thought back on what had happened recently.

A man walked past me, excitedly chatting with someone.

"Did you guys hear? When Ms. Freya Lacey woke up today, there was a dead body at her door!"

"I also heard it was her lover. What a shame, I thought Ms. Freya Lacey was pure and innocent!"

Hearing their gossip, I quietly pulled my hat down lower.

If someone recognized that Freya and I were from the same family, I would probably be questioned on the spot.

I thought Virio did this just to scare Freya. How did this become such big news!

Walking down the street, I saw more and more about it.

The deeper conflict between the two families seemed to be known by the whole world.

I gently rubbed my temples.

Was it really worth it for Virio to go this far for me?

Of course, I was not naive enough to think he did this just for me.

But soon I got a call from Sebastian. "Ms. Lacey, are you awake?"

The moment I answered the phone, I was in a pretty good mood. "I'm on my way to the office. What's up?"

"Nothing much, I just found out some information. If it's convenient for you, I can come meet you." Sebastian said today was his day off.

So even if he met me alone, it wouldn't raise suspicions.

We arranged to meet at a coffee shop in an hour.

Sebastian walked up to me wearing casual clothes and a baseball cap.

He really was young, radiating youthful energy.

When he sat in front of me, Sebastian took off his mask, and that handsome face put me in a good mood.

Sometimes, I suddenly understood why Freya kept so many lovers outside.

I cupped my face and asked, "You'd better have brought me some information I really need."

Sebastian didn't say anything, just pulled out a photo from his jacket and handed it to me.
