All Chapters of Love's Masquerade: Chapter 281 - Chapter 290

"Cedric, be … more gentle …" Her face was flushed. Her hands were pinned behind her and at the moment, she relied solely on Cedric to support her weight. "Mom is in the room next door …" The sweat on her forehead dripped onto the table. Her eyes were dazed, but she remained alert. "Don't wake her."Cedric took in her porcelain-like skin, disheveled hair, and swollen red lips. Her appearance caused him to lose control of the beast within him and all he wanted was to lose himself in her. Some time later, he propped her up and lifted her chin. His forehead was drenched in sweat and the look in his eyes was both seductive and wild. "Why don't you lead, then?" he said and held her waist with his hands, pulling the chair nearby to sit down with Faye on top of him. She gasped and wrapped her arms around his neck with an alluring smile. "Getting tired already, Mr. Shaw?" Her hands trailed down and she raised an eyebrow. "That won't do …"He smiled when he saw the smirk playing on

Five minutes later, the designer and model for the second outfit arrived at Faye's side. Faye glanced at the tall and unfamiliar model. She was exceptionally beautiful and her figure perfectly complemented the necklace, so it was a shame."Jay, did you design this necklace?" Faye handed the necklace to the designer, who happened to be Jay. Jay nodded. "Yes, Ms. Fischer, but … Why does it look different …" He examined the necklace closely and paled. "This is a fake, Ms. Fischer. My design used different materials ..."Faye gave Jay an approving look. She hadn't informed them in advance that there was an issue with the necklace, yet Jay immediately identified it as a fake, which indicated that he was rather talented. "When did you last come here to check?" Faye asked. "I was here yesterday afternoon, and I can confirm that the real necklace was still here at that time," Jay said grimly.Faye nodded then turned to address the model. "The product launch is about to start, Ms.

Lincoln was furious that his performance was rated as "not bad". On top of that, Lucy even left a hundred dollars with the note. It was basically an insult to him!He was indeed drunk and slightly out of control the night before, but he was not intoxicated to the point that he would make an advance at Lucy. After lying down, all he wanted was to go to sleep. Lucy was the one who leaned closer to take off his clothes and touched him. She even tapped him on the face, saying, "You were all wild that night, right? Why are you lying down now?"She then proceeded to pinch his cheeks and grope his muscles, her actions getting out of hand. As a man, Lincoln couldn't possibly resist it, so he responded with the same enthusiasm. Lucy was instantly satisfied, yet she woke up the next day and decided to forget all about it. She brushed all his effort off with just a note and a hundred dollars. The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. He looked up at Georgina, who was

Without hesitation, Cedric joined Astrid in bidding. They pushed the price of a gown worth several million up to a staggering one billion. However, when Astrid called out one billion and one million, Cedric stopped bidding.Astrid knew that Cedric was bidding against her to help Faye. Moreover, the fake necklace was planted by Astrid. Initially, she had been concerned that Faye would discover the problem and have the necklace swapped out before the show. However, the fact that Cedric continued to bid against her confirmed that the necklace on the second outfit was indeed fake. Though Light Moon Designs explained in advance that there was an issue and intended to resolve it by giving the whole outfit for free, once Astrid had the set in her hands, things would be out of Light Moon Designs' control. Even if Astrid didn't win the second set and chose another one, she had ways to manipulate it into a problematic product. The only difference was that she would have to spend mon

Faye's smile deepened. "Is this the lady who bid for the second set? Do you think the issue with our third set isn't accurately pointed out, or do you believe the problem lies with the second set?" As Faye's words fell, the surrounding discussions immediately shifted.Those who had expressed doubt and initially sided with Astrid now looked at Astrid in confusion, frowning. They found Faye's explanation to be convincing. After all, no one would spend over a billion for a set of clothes at an auction. Although the clothing designed by Light Moon Designs' chief designer was indeed excellent, it would be unreasonable to be so insistent unless they were sure the outfit was flawed.On top of that, Astrid's hysterical tone was suspicious as well."Don't try to paint me as the bad guy. I'm just discussing the matter at hand," Astrid replied calmly with a sharp tone. Faye chuckled. "I remember the one who won the bid for the third set is Mr. Liberton, a well-known figure in the domesti
