Chapter 523 Taking a Tumble

Author: Cora Smith
Calista's words had the red-lipped woman looking up at the ceiling. Sure enough, two surveillance cameras were facing her.

Her face froze as her tears stopped. Then, she glared resentfully at Calista and walked away.

She fully expected Calista to remain silent and endure the humiliation. That was why she intentionally said those words to get a reaction out of her.

But, the woman acted contrary to her expectations with no care for her reputation.

After Calista sent the woman on her way, she returned to Paul's side. The black pepper sauce on his shirt had already dried. Due to the light color of the fabric, the stains stood out like a sore thumb.

"I'm sorry for dirtying your clothes. You should head upstairs. Take a break. I'll go find you a replacement."

Paul glanced at her ankle. Calista didn't make a big show of it, but he could still tell that her posture seemed off.

"I'll have someone else get me a replacement. You sprained your ankle. Take off your heels. You can rest there

    Lucian frowned. He wanted a cigarette but hadn't brought any today.He was hardly a smoker. He usually endured the urge to smoke and allowed the want to pass him by. However, today seemed to be a different story. He grew more irritated the more he denied himself a smoke. Coupled with Kyros' incessant chatter, he became agitated."I'm going out for a smoke."Kyros leveled a stare at Lucian. He didn't stop him. The Northwoods had prepared cigarettes in the dining area. There was a small patio right outside that served as a smoking area.However, there were already people there; their faint shadows cast on the thin curtains. Lucian decided against going there. Instead, he went to the garden outside.He didn't have a coat on. As soon as he opened the glass doors, the snowflake-laden wind rushed in, cutting through him like a knife. It was bone-chillingly cold. He felt completely devoid of warmth after having only stood there for a minute. The hand holding the cigarette began to sh

    Calista didn't hesitate to step inside. It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. There was no telling how the paparazzi, spurred on to gain traction, would interpret this farce. They cared little for the truth.But as she entered the closet, Lucian followed close behind. Calista was confused. But, now she was downright bewildered."Why are you coming in here?""I don't know. Should I join him outside and fuel some rumors? He's in a bathrobe and looking completely disheveled." Lucian seemed to grit his teeth at the mention of Paul in a "disheveled" state."If the media gets a hold of that, things would not look good."Calista was at a loss for words.The closet door closing behind them plunged them into darkness. The partially opened door was violently thrown open. Reporters flooded in with their cameras raised. They began taking photos of Paul."Are you the only person in the room, Mr. Baker?"Paul's expression was cold. But it was understandable given that they had intrud

    Kyros' expression darkened."Why do you ask?""Considering Mr. Lancaster's appearance, he looks to be thirty this year. I saw him at the banquet hall just before I came upstairs. Even if he disappeared after I left, it has only been twenty minutes since then. You claimed to have checked the surveillance cameras and made the effort to come all this way, Mr. Barlowe. If he's your prisoner, then forget what I said."A sincere smile spread across Paul's gentle face."If you consider him your brother, I would suggest you see a psychiatrist. You might not understand. Some mothers are unusually possessive toward their sons. They think the world is out to take their son from them. You're acting like the sort. You should get help with that."The reporters were "kindly" asked to leave, leaving only Kyros and Paul in the room. With neither man speaking, silence filled the space.Back in the closet, Lucian lowered his voice even further. He was whispering into Calista's ear."I told you he

  • You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone   Chapter 527 Let's Cooperate

    Lucian snorted in disdain before Paul could answer Kyros."Can the friends I choose be so easily swayed by a few words? He may be tactless, but he's not a bad guy …"His words might've sounded arrogant, but Calista wholeheartedly agreed. Just as the thought settled, Paul spoke."Sure."Both Lucian and Calista were rendered speechless. The agreement left them both stunned.The pressure on the wardrobe doors eased as Paul pulled away. With the man out of the way, all Kyros had to do was crack it open slightly to see the pair hiding inside.Lucian, now without his earlier composure, scowled. He cast his eyes on the door and contemplated on whether he should teach Paul a lesson as a way to vent his anger later.Calista was also staring at the door. But, she was planning to rush out at Kyros the moment he cracked it open when he least expected it. She was going to give him a good beating. It would provide ample distraction for Lucian to escape."Shall we discuss this collaboration

    Paul and Kyros had ended up fighting. To be precise, the former had beaten the latter into a pulp.The guests present were all from their social circle. Most of them were familiar with Paul. He was a suave man known for his gentle nature. Witnessing him suddenly resort to violence left everyone shocked.Kyros was a slender man. However, Paul's merciless blows knocked him to the floor. The young man's mouth had been cut. Blood seeped out, yet he managed a smile."No need for all that anger, Mr. Baker. If you don't like that particular approach, I can suggest other ideas …"Paul frowned. A waiter immediately handed him a towel to wipe his hands. When he crushed the wine glass, a glass shard cut into his thumb. It left a long gash. He stared down at Kyros who was being carefully helped to his feet by a cautious waiter, and said disdainfully, "Shut up. You're nauseating.""What's going on?" Cade, the latecomer, studied the colorful array of expressions on the onlookers' faces. He to

    Cade's expression turned grave."I understand. I'll have the manager gather all the staff on duty tonight on the second floor."He called the hotel manager and instructed them to gather the staff and also check the surveillance footage. In all likelihood, the perpetrator had anticipated the consequences of setting Calista up and already made their escape."Could you please provide me with a copy of tonight's surveillance footage, Mr. Carter?" Calista asked.There was no telling if the incident involving the woman with red lips would escalate in the media. It was a good idea to keep a copy herself for safekeeping. The hotel's network firewall seemed far from secure.Cade didn't ask for a reason."Sure."He retrieved his phone. It was only then that Selena noticed that Paul was being treated for his wounds inside."How are you hurt, Paul?"Paul was vague in his explanation."I accidentally broke a wine glass."Calista wanted the doctor to check on Selena's sprain but she dec

    Yara felt refreshed by the thought of being close to achieving what she set out to do. She sounded as if she was about to burst into maniacal laughter as she paced around."Timothy is such an eccentric guy at work. That man is like a well-oiled machine. Wherever he goes, chaos ensues …"A stack of documents landed in front of her, making a muffled sound on the desk."Make ten copies of these."Yara looked up in confusion."I'm just the chauffeur. I'm responsible for driving, not clerical work.""You're the only one without much to do.""Get it through your head. I'm doing unpaid labor over here. Why are you annoyed about me not being busy when you're not paying me? Even a donkey that's slaving away isn't as driven as you are."Timothy frowned."Feel free to speak up. Go ahead and tell everyone in the law firm that you're a donkey that's slaving away."Yara hung up the phone and rolled her eyes."I'm not going. You should give this to Jamie instead.

    Timothy was still waiting for her answer. Even the alarm clock had been muted. It was extremely silent when neither of them were speaking. Yara grew even more nervous."Let me …"She needed to think about it.This was a significant life decision. Sure, they could break up if things don't work out. But what if she were to encounter a psycho that she couldn't shake off? With how Timothy had been acting … She solemnly nodded to herself. That was when his alarm went off, reminding him of the upcoming meeting."Take your time to think about it. Let me know once you've made a decision."Yara asked as he opened the door, "Would you accept my decision if I choose to reject you?""No."She rolled her eyes in annoyance. What was the point of talking about it then? Her only choices were to say yes or be pushed to the brink before she inevitably agreed.After the meeting, Yara handed the organized minutes to Timothy. He was busy with something else. So, he tossed it aside without looking

    Fabian said, "Mr. Ackerman was taken away by the Office of Inspector General this morning. Madam Cameron and the Bark family are reportedly the ones responsible."The Carter Group hadn't broken any laws, nor had they been financially entangled with the Ackermans for over a decade. Still, the long-standing ties between the two families ran deep. If Victor Ackerman had skeletons in his closet, Cade would have a hard time avoiding the fallout.Cade propped his hand against his cheek. "What about my wife?""Madam Cameron…" Fabian had to steel himself to answer Cade. "Madam Cameron left the country. She applied for a long-term visa."Even with reporters hounding him, that sentence rang loud and clear in Cade's ears.A long silence stretched before he let out a quiet, bitter laugh.He had never realized how much Cameron had orchestrated behind his back. The Ackermans or the media could trip him up for now, but her betrayal cut deeper. Every move had been calculated.And the most absur

    Cade crossed the room as Cameron, already seated, leaned her cheek against her hand, skimming the menu. "Want a drink?" she asked casually.His heart skipped a beat.Cameron's appearance radiated deliberate perfection. From her flawlessly styled hair and expertly applied makeup to her impeccable outfit and carefully chosen accessories, every detail was considered. Even her expensive "Allure" perfume hinted at a desire to captivate.A private dining room meant for couples with only spouses in each other's company…Given the setup, sharing a drink seemed like an implicit invitation.Cade pressed his lips into a line, trying to ignore the rising curve of a smile. "Sure," he replied, his tone deceptively even. "We'll start with two bottles of Magnolia's Pulpit," Cameron said.Cade choked on his water, coughing as he asked, "Seriously?"Who would start a date with such a strong distilled spirit? With two bottles, no less.Cameron propped up her chin and raised an eyebrow. "Is that

    Cameron stared at her screen, where Gale had just sent a single word. "Ready." Her lips curled up involuntarily.Cade noticed the smile. He didn't know who she was messaging, but it irritated him for some reason. After a long pause, he exhaled slowly and asked, "What if the Ackermans refuse to settle?"Cameron didn't bother to answer. She knew Violet and Victor would soon be in hot water, so she hadn't considered the aftermath. However, to Cade, her silence only confirmed his assumptions—she was reckless, unprepared, and acting purely on emotion. He clenched his jaw and finally stopped holding his breath. Then, suddenly, he pulled the car over with a sharp twist of the wheel. "Did you think it through before turning yourself in? What if the psych evaluation comes back clean, and the Ackermans insist on pressing charges? What then? You hurt Mirabelle badly. You think you'll have it easy in prison with the way they dote on her?" In contrast to Cade's exasperation, Cameron remaine

    With Cade covering Cameron's mouth, there was no chance for her pointed words to offend anyone in the room. His palm was cool to the touch. It was a sensation she disliked. So, she couldn't help but tilt her head.When Cade noticed her movements, he gently stroked her cheek as if he were calming a child who was throwing a tantrum.Victor spent years in a position of authority, giving him an air of unspoken authority. His gaze hardened, and his lips pressed into a firm line as he watched Cade. "Cade, don't jeopardize the long-standing relationship between our families over a woman.""If that's how you see it." Cade glanced at the door. "Aren't you doing the same for a woman?"Victor snorted contemptuously. "How can a cheap girl who was merely adopted be worth anything compared to Mirabelle?""How is my daughter, a Yorksworth, worth any less than yours?" Blaire stood at the doorway as she took in the occupants of the home with her sharp gaze. She had been feeling restless ever sin

    Mirabelle frowned. "Excuse me?"As soon as she finished speaking, Cameron walked up to her, grabbed her by her hair, and forcefully bent her over.Cameron held up the guest list Monica had sent her and shoved it in Mirabelle's face. "Call them. Tell them to be there by 3:00 p.m., or else…"She tightened her grip threateningly. "You can kiss this head of hair goodbye."Mirabelle pressed down on her scalp where it had been pulled, her voice distorted with pain when she spoke."Let go, Cameron! Are you out of your mind?""Didn't I tell you not to involve anyone else in our feud?""Can't take it anymore?"Mirabelle endured the pain of turning her head to flash a disdainful sneer at Cameron."This is just the appetizer. If you go against me, you'll eventually crawl out of Capeton with your tail between your legs. I'll call your business partner right now and pin the catastrophic failure of this event on you…"Seeing Mirabelle's condescending expression brought Cameron back to the

    The kiss lifted the dark cloud that hung over Cade's mood over the past few days.The next day, as Fabian brought in documents for him to sign, Cade asked, "When is Cameron's show?"Fabian was taken aback for a split second but quickly replied. Fortunately, he was well-prepared and kept track of Cameron's events for the year in advance."Has the invitation been delivered?"Fabian swallowed, almost wanting to laugh to mock Cade. Given Cade's strained relationship with his wife, Cameron would sooner invite a dog than have him around. However, all Fabian could do was revel in Cade's misery in his mind while keeping a businesslike facade."It was probably already delivered. The front desk brought in a stack of mail yesterday. I haven't sorted it out yet."He had already sorted out the mail this morning. Everything had gone straight to the trash."Clear my schedule for the day. Make reservations at a restaurant for a celebratory dinner.""Yes, sir."On the day of the show, Monica

    That was obviously an excuse to get Cade out of the picture. Knowing what Mirabelle had done to Cameron in the past, leaving the two of them alone was out of the question. Besides, it wasn't convenient for him to move the car, so he refused without a second thought."Get the attendant—"However, Cameron cut him off before he could finish."Ms. Ackerman is a guest. You should fulfill her requests if she has any."Cade cast her a cold glance. "Shut up." Why should he dance to Mirabelle's tune?Cameron stared at him. "Run along."He gritted his teeth as rage crossed his face. After a brief pause, he sneered and turned to leave. As soon as the door shut behind him, Mirabelle's calm expression slipped. "Did you make me come here just to show off how much you two love each other?""You call that love? I think we have different definitions of what 'love' is then. He's nothing more than…" Cameron's fingers lightly traced the cup's rim as she smirked and said, "A lap dog.""You fu

    Cameron crossed her arms over her chest and gave the bouquet in Cade's hands a nonchalant glance."What are you trying to pull, Mr. Carter?""Fabian said it was Women's Day today.""So what?"There was silence all around. The sound of soothing music could be heard through the door. Cade was silent for a while. "We're not getting a divorce, Cameron."It was the same old topic that Cameron had grown too weary of. She turned around and felt for the cigarette box on the table. There was already a layer of cigarette butts in the ashtray next to it. Judging by the color of the lipstick marks, more than half of them were hers.Cade frowned. He clearly disapproved of her smoking but kept himself from stopping her.Smoke curled from between her lips. The flickering embers of the cigarette reflected in her eyes, softening her indifferent gaze. Through the thin haze, Cameron's lips curled into a wide, unrestrained smile. Every time she smiled in this way, it always filled Cade with a

    Cade began unbuckling his belt as he spoke. When it came to this sort of thing, men often had a strong sense of competition, especially in the presence of a woman they were interested in."Such a dark atmosphere isn't right for our situation."Cameron didn't like him to begin. In such a dark atmosphere, there was no telling what kind of grotesque creature she might imagine him to be. It would be strange if she felt attraction for him.She leveled a steady stare at him. Cade's shirt was half undone, showing his tense muscles underneath. Under the influence of alcohol, his skin took on a faint reddish hue. There was a heart-pounding tension in the air as if something was about to ignite. Occasionally, his slightly heavy breaths could be heard."You haven't been working out recently, have you?" Cameron asked.Cade was confused.Cameron pressed her hand against his chest, right below his ribs, and gave it a little push. After a moment, she commented, "Your muscles are a little soft
