Declan’s expression remained impassive as he stared at her. "What do you want?"

Adeline stepped closer, her red-painted nails brushing against the muscles of his waist. "Damn, they’re so firm."

"Take your hand off me!" Declan snapped.

Adeline wasn’t bothered. "You know exactly why I called you here. We’re both adults. From now on, you’ll stay with me, and I’ll support you. As long as you satisfy me in bed, you can set your own price. No more stripping for anyone else."

Declan locked eyes with her. "Shouldn’t you be married by now? Aren’t you worried your husband will find out?"

"Relax," Adeline replied with a confident grin. "My husband will never know. I’ve done this before, and he’s never suspected a thing. It’s completely safe."

A faint smirk tugged at Declan’s lips. "And what if I tell your husband?"

"He wouldn’t believe you," Adeline shot back without hesitation.

At that moment, Declan pulled a voice recorder from his pocket. "It’s a shame… I’ve already recorded everything you just said."

Adeline’s expression shifted instantly. She hadn’t expected him to be carrying a voice recorder.

Her face darkened as she sneered, "You’re incredibly ungrateful. I have wealth, beauty, and a body that drives men wild. I even offered you money to sleep with me, and yet, you’re the first man to turn me down."

With her well-maintained figure and mature allure, it wasn’t hard to see why many men found her irresistible.

Declan let out a cold laugh. "If so many men are interested, go find one of them. I’m not interested. But if you ever interfere with my family, I’ll make sure your life becomes a living hell."

Adeline fell silent, sensing the lethal threat in his gaze.

Declan turned to leave, but something felt off. A sudden wave of heat swept over him, an unfamiliar warmth spreading through his body.

Having dealt with similar situations before, he turned back sharply. "What did you do? What’s in this room?"

burning on the table. "You’re already feeling its effects. The
scent is quite potent."

She walked clbser, her red-painted

By the time Hailey arrived at the ~

"Declan? Declan, where are you?" she called out.

Adeline’s hand from his arm and opened the door to step
outside.

“Declan, what are you doing here?" Hailey asked in
surprise as she rushed toward him.

It didn’t take long for Hailey to spot Adeline in the room.
“Who are you?"

between them.

Without hesitation, Hailey wrapped her arm around
Declan’s. "He’s my boyfriend. What are you doing with
him?"

Adeline turned to Declan. "Is she really your girlfriend?"
Declan didn’t answer. "Let’s go."

He pulled Hailey away, leaving Adeline fuming with
frustration.

Clearly, Declan wasn’t quite aware of what was in his best
interest.
