Chapter 1485

[ 654 words ]

Lexi clenched her fists, biting down on her teeth so hard her jaw ached. The jealousy in her eyes was practically spilling over.

How was it Harold?

Didn’t he hate these kinds of events? How could he possibly be here?

And to jump into a pool to save someone, completely disregarding his image?

“Mr. Houston, Mrs. Houston, what on earth happened here?”

Mr. and Mrs. Landon rushed over upon hearing the news. Seeing the drenched couple, they were frightened half to death.

“An accident.”

Someone in the crowd muttered under their breath, “Probably wasn’t watching where she was going and fell in herself.”

“An accident?”

Harold looked down at Lorelei, his voice a low rasp as he asked her.

Lorelei thought for a second, then shook her head.

“Understood.”

Harold pulled her tighter against him. He turned his head to look at the Landons, his

voice low and freezing cold. “I need a room to get her cleaned up.”

“Someone, quickly! Escort Mr. and Mrs. Houston to the VIP suite upstairs immediately.”

Mr. Landon scrambled to accommodate, apologizing profusely. “I’m so incredibly sorry for the poor oversight that led to such an accident.”

“An accident?” Harold’s face was devoid of warmth. His gaze swept over the surrounding crowd, his voice chillingly menacing. “My wife nearly lost her life at your party. Don’t you think I deserve an explanation?”

“Yes, absolutely.” Mr. Landon wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, forcing an apologetic smile. “We will absolutely investigate this matter thoroughly and get justice for Mrs. Houston.”

“Since these people are your invited guests, Mr. Landon, I’ll trust you to keep an eye on them for me.” Harold’s tone grew even colder, a terrifying aura of hostility radiating from him. “Once my wife and I have changed, I will be back down here to get that justice.”

“Yes, yes, leave it to me.”

Mr. Landon nodded awkwardly.

Compared to the Houston family, the Landon family’s status was lower by a massive margin.

Because of that, the Houstons had only sent the younger generation to attend.

Who could have predicted a disaster like this would happen?

If he genuinely angered Harold, the relationship between the two families would

freeze over, destroying any future business collaborations.

Leaving the threat hanging in the air.

Harold carried Lorelei out, walking swiftly away from the chaotic hall.

The remaining guests exchanged nervous glances, whispering among themselves.

“How exactly did Lorelei end up in the water? Did anyone see?”

“I thought Harold didn’t care about his wife? He looked absolutely frantic just now.”

“Can’t you tell? He is furious. Whoever messed with Mrs. Houston is completely screwed.”

Sienna, the one who had indeed messed with Mrs. Houston, was currently panicking.

She wanted to see exactly how Harold planned to demand justice once he found out his wife was seducing another man while married content belongso FindNovel.net

Thinking of this.

Sienna pulled out her phone and texted her mother, telling her to find a way to delete the security footage.

Without the footage, all the accusations in the world wouldn’t mean a thing.

In the suite.

The Landon family brought over brand new clothes. Lorelei changed in the bedroom while Harold used the bathroom.

After he finished changing.

Harold picked up a hairdryer, pushed open the bedroom door, and walked over to Lorelei.

The girl was still visibly shaken, sitting on the edge of the bed with red-rimmed eyes. “Scared?”

Harold crouched in front of her, lifting his eyes to meet hers. “All these years, and you still havent learned how to swim?”

This wasn’t the first time he had fished her out of a body of water.

“Water and are sworn enemies. We are fundamentally incompatible, Lorelei sniffled, her red lips parting. Was the surgery successful is the patient okay

“We almost lost him, but he pulled through.” Harold stood up and began drying her

hair.

“That’s good.” Lorelei let out a sigh of relief. Human lives were infinitely more important.

“Let’s go.” After drying her hair, Harold grabbed her hand.

“Where?” Lorelei stood up, asking in confusion.

“To get your justice.”

Harold stepped closer to her, lightly brushing his knuckles against her cheek, his

voice thick and magnetic. “Mrs. Houston.”
