Deserted Wife Strikes Back.
Chapter 17 Cecilia’s Temptation
The private roomt door opened,
Inside, there were full of people having fun.
Fortunately, there were none of the scenes Cecilia had imagined.
The waiter respectfully said, “Ms. Lockhart, Mr. Whitaker is inside.
“Thank you,” Cecilia mohled slightly.
She lightly pursed her lips together and walked in.
In fact, she
He
he didn’t really need to search; she saw the man sitting g on the sofa, holding a glass of wine, with his legs crossed, Alaric.
had a smile on his lips, an amused smile.
At this moment, he clearly saw her, too,
he didn’t greet her.
Cecilia couldn’t stand the sound of the speakers, the screams, the cheers inside.
She felt that no matter how much she tried to adapt to this environment, it was very difficult.
She stood front of Alaric, “Can you empty the room?”
Alaric’s attractive lips still curved up, his brows slightly furrowed.
It seemed he didn’t hear what she was saying
Cecilia’s voice got a bit louder, “Can you clear the room?”
From Alaric’s facial expression, it seemed he still didn’t hear.
Cecilia gritted her teeth..
She bent down, leaned in front of Alaric, and said in his ear, “Can you… ah!”
Cecilia lost her balance.
She was suddenly bumped from behind by someone and fell into Alanc’s arms.
She leaned over.
It looked like she threw herself into his arms.
Even som
someone as
as calm as Cecilia was a bit flustered.
What made her even more flustered was that the woman who accidentally bumped into her while dancing might have been startled and let out an uncontrollable scream.
A scream attracted everyone’s attention.

Attracted, they saw a woman Iying in Alaric’s aims, looking very peth and charming against his tall fratne,
This unusual scene stommed
It was rumored that Alaric would never say no to woman.
But no one had ever witnessed this rumor firsthand.
In fact, wherever Alaric was, women would consciously avoid him; no one dared to challenge his boundaries.
Wet, at this moment, under everyone’s watchful eyes, there was woman lying in his arms, and he was actually smiling.
No one dared to say a word seeing that.
They didn’t even dare to look too long.
Actually, Alaric had never done anything illegal or murderous, but anyone who had met him would be in awe of him.
“Cassius, turn off the speakers, Alaric said.
His voice was moderate.
Sitting next to Alaric, Cassius nodded.
Cassius didn’t hear very clearly either, but the two had grown up together and had a strong understanding.
He got up and turned off the speakers.
At this moment, Cecilia had already left Alaric’s arms.
When she got up, her face was obviously a bit flushed.
She had always paid great attention to her demeanor and appearance since she was a child, and had never been so rude, never actively thrown herself into a man’s arms.
Even during her ten
years
of marriage to Dominic, she maintained her modesty.
Dominic treated her the same way; they respected each other very much.
She used to think that was the best marriage.
Now she knew it was just because Dominic had no feelings for her.
After the speakers were turned off.
The room suddenly became quiet.
Cecilia felt even more uncomfortable.
She looked up at Alaric, who was still sitting on the sofa with an unchanged expression.
She said, “Guys, please leave.”
Then people inside, very consciously, all left, leaving only her and Alaric.

Cassius was joyfully watching them from the side.
Cecilia secretly adjusted her emotions.
At that moment, she couldn’t help but feel a bit upset. Alaric had clearly heard what she said earlier but pretended not to, making her look foolish. Otherwise, how could he have known to clear them when she hadn’t even finished speaking in his ear? She told herself not to bother with this man; after all, she still needed his help.
She said. “Doesn’t he need to leave?” Cecilia’s eyes tumed to Cassin, the eldest son of the Blackburn family. Although the Blackburn family hadn’t made it into the top four families, their development recent years had been significant.
Rumors circulated that the Blackburn family had connections in both legal and illegal circles, with some even suggesting that Cassius grandfather had affiliations with the Astralton City noble family. Many people were hesitant to cross the Blackburn family and would often show them respect.
In fact, the legends about the Blackburn family were true. Having livid terr more years, Cecilia knew very well that the Blackburn family was indeed formidable. So, seeing Cassius at this moment, she couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
She couldn’t comprehend why, given the Blackburn family’s evident fluence, Cassius, as the eldest son, would choose to follow Alaric around.
Who exactly was Alaric? He even made Cassius so willingly obey him
However, In the end, the most accurate relationship between them was that they were the best partners in crime.
Whenever they did bad things, they were always together!
“He doesn’t need to,” Alaric replied affirmatively.
Her meaning was clear.
Cassius had an extraordinary relationship with him, his best friend.
Cecilia wouldn’t dwell on these trivial matters,
Since Alaric said Cassius was trustworthy, she didn’t need to worry.
She said, “I’ve thought about it. Regarding breaking off the engagement with Dominic, I’m not capable enough and need your help.”
Alaric casually sipped his drink, his eyes fixed on Cecilia without offering any response.
Cecilia went on to
say, “The most effective way to immediately call off the engagement with Dominic is to reveal his scandal. Dominic has numerous scandals, but the one that would hurt him the most is his infidelity! Exposing his unfaithfulness at his own wedding would be the most, devastating blow to someone who pretends to be a gentleman like him!”
Alaric listened to Cecilia’s words, slowly drinking the liquor in his glass. His Adam’s apple moved, inexplicably sexy, making it hard
to ignore.
Cecilia shifted her gaze and said, “And for t this video exposing his infidelity, I need your help.”
Alaric put down the glass.
He stood up and walked to Cecilia.
Even though Cecilia was wearing high heels today, she was still significantly shorter in front of Alaric.

by She straightened her back to meet his gaze, not letting her aura beppressed fry him.
“Ms. Lockhart, didn’t you go to the Kingsley family today to discuss the marriage? Why would you want to harm someone right after negotiating with them?! Ms. Lockhart, with your unpredictable behaar, how can I trust you?”
Alaric still didn’t trust hert
