61 061 William Hale: You think you
can compare with Zoe!
William Hale sat in formal attire, lounging on the sofa, fiddling with his phone with a languid look, yet his aura was so intense that when his casual glance fell on Mina Bell, she felt her breathing tighten.
But she had no choice but to steel herself and go on!
“Mr. Hale, what a coincidence to see you here too, isn’t it?” Mina Bell also put on a bold face.
How does the saying go:
It’s the brave who get to enjoy life first.
Perhaps this would be her success in one fell swoop, not only solving her family’s crisis but also reaching the pinnacle of her life.
“Miss Bell, is it really a coincidence that you found my room with such accuracy?” William Hale was sharp, understanding her intention the moment he saw her.
Mina Bell smiled and clenched her Lady Dior bag tightly.

Despite the goosebump–inducing gaze he cast upon her, once she confirmed that there was no one else in the room besides him, she closed and locked the door behind her.
And casually, she turned the lock.
William Hale saw this, unfazed.
He simply took out his phone and sent a few messages.
“Mr. Hale, due to my sister, there has always been a bit of a misunderstanding between us.” Mina Bell’s palms were sweaty with nervousness. Once she was inside,
she realized she had underestimated the situation.
William Hale’s presence was too overwhelming.
But now that things had come to this, the chance to encounter William Hale was not something she could
afford to miss.
“What misunderstanding?”
William Hale’s voice was calm, his fingers nonchalantly scrolling on his phone screen.
“Actually, the conflict between my sister and me is all because of Brandon Stone, but that’s all in the past

now.” Mina Bell slowly moved closer.
He had an indescribable quality about him, cold and arrogant, with an air of nobility that couldn’t be expressed in words.
“So what?”
William Hale appraised her.
Mina Bell could feel his piercing, invasive stare on her, and she struggled to control her breathing, but she couldn’t help feeling her face heat up.
It was Mina Bell’s first time being this close to him,
this man,
whose face was unfairly handsome.
Unhurried and composed, as if everything was under his control, even the contours of his face were sharp and distinct, and he seemed to emanate an icy, frosty
aloofness.
She remembered the welcome banquet…
Such a man actually bent down to help Zoe Bell with her dress hem.
When they stood together, his gaze was tender.

The stark contrast between his actions and his demeanour became the talk of the night.
No one had ever seen William Hale be so tender with
anyone,
and all the socialites wished to be Zoe Bell, even if just for one night with William Hale.
“I’ve always wanted to have a chat with you.” Mina Bell
mustered her courage to step forward.
“Chat about what?“,
“Whatever you want to talk about, I can do.” Mina Bell blushed, feigning shyness as she twisted her waist and sat down on the sofa opposite him, in a rather indecent posture with her skirt hiked up.
“Miss Bell, what do you mean by that?” William Hale’s deep voice was smooth and cultured upon closer
listen.
“I believe you understand.”
Mina Bell bit her lip, “Otherwise, shall we change the
location to talk?”

William Hale’s expression remained constant, not engaging in the conversation.
“The first time I saw you, I felt admiration, but I thought you were out of my league, so I didn’t dare to approach you. My sister is dull and boring, spending her days in her room fiddling with trinkets…”
“She’s not worthy of you.”
“I know you’re just playing with her, but I can do that
too.”
William Hale chuckled lowly, “What can you do?”
“Whatever you ask me to do, or do to me, I’m willing!”
The next second,
Mina Bell suddenly stood up and took off her light jacket. Beneath it, she wore a thin–strapped tank top, her fingers teasingly revealing what was beneath, barely concealing her allure.
Seeing that William Hale had made no move, she was overjoyed.
It seemed,
there was still hope.

“Miss Bell, this behavior of yours is hardly appropriate.”
William Hale’s pupils suddenly constricted, his brows filled with disgust.
“Mr. Hale, you don’t need to feel burdened, no matter what happens, I will not hold you responsible. We are all adults, and I know my limits…” Mina Bell said as she
walked toward him.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
“Sir-” It was Zac Cruz’s voice; the door lock twisted,
“Sir?”
Mina Bell was startled and looked toward William Hale,
“Mr. Hale…”
She thought William would stop them, but he didn’t speak at all, and the next second, someone lifted their foot, “Bang, bang-” two sounds, and the door was kicked open from the outside.
Besides Zac Cruz, there was Kyle Lowe at the door.
At this moment, Mina Bell was only wearing a camisole, with one shoulder exposed, and it was hard to cover what was supposed to be covered. Even an idiot could see the situation for what it was.

Her face flushed red, she hurriedly pulled up her
shoulder straps, grabbed the clothes on the floor, and
tried to run out.
But she was caught by the arm by Kyle Lowe.
He was strong; grabbing her was like picking up a
chick.

“Ah–Let go of me, it hurts, let go, what do think you’re doing, don’t touch me…” Mina Bell struggled fiercely, but couldn’t escape, “Mr. Hale, tell him to let
me go.”
She realized something was off at this point.
“Mr. Hale, it was my mistake, I was just being foolish, I lost my senses.”
William Hale stood up, walked to the window, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, placed it between his lips, and lit it.
Then, he spoke indifferently, “Lost your senses?”
“Then help Miss Bell come to her senses.”
On hearing this, Zac Cruz opened a compartment on
one side that contained a restroom and bathroom, and
there was also a large bed. The place was fully

equipped.
Before Mina Bell could react, she was dragged into the
bathroom by the arm by Kyle Lowe.
The next second,
A shower head poured down ice–cold water, causing her to shiver from the shock, “You’re crazy, let go of me, my parents won’t let you off, let go—”
“Mmph!” Because she opened her mouth, water unexpectedly rushed into her mouth and throat, choking her until she coughed violently.
“I’m going to call the police; you’ll all be arrested!”
“Ah=”
Mina Bell screamed, her mouth filled with all kinds of profanities.
Zac Cruz frowned, “It seems Miss Bell is still not sober enough, continue.”
It’s unknown how long it took, but Mina Bell finally calmed down. Kyle Lowe shut off the shower and let go of her arm. Her body went limp, and she slumped to the ground. Her makeup was completely ruined, and she looked like a ghostly figure.

Zac Cruz glanced at her:

How could her body also lose color?
