Chapter31
That sentence hit Roderick like a ton of bricks.
He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn’t make any
sound.
Love?
Did he ask about Andrea?
That bitch’s daughter?
“Of course not!”
Roderick instinctively retorted, as if eager to prove something.
“I knew it, Mr. Hodgson would never forget his mother’s death!”
Leonard gave him a deep look, He’s in the dark, but he doesn’t
want to remind Roderick now.
“Roderick definitely won’t forget, right?”
A sweet and mellow female voice came from the doorway.
Matilda walked in wearing a tight red dress and strutting in her
high heels.
Chapter31
She naturally linked her arm with Roderick’s, her red lips close
to his ear, “Roderick just wanted to discipline the disobedient
pet, right?”
Roderick didn’t push her away, but he didn’t respond either.
“Leave the stuff here, you guys go first!”
He sent away a few people, staring at the giant projection screen
on the wall.
The bedroom’s footage will be played in real time here.
Originally thought Andrea would make a fool of himself in
front of everyone, he should feel pleased.
Now, all he can think about is her huddled under the blanket,
like a scared little animal.
“Take it down!”
When Roderick said this, he was absentmindedly rubbing the
lapel pin engraved with “To My Pride.“”
Matilda’s mouth twitched, she had already expected that
Roderick wouldn’t install the camera, let alone share the video,
but when she heard him decisively order to remove it, she still
felt a suffocating feeling.
Chapter31
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.””
Matilda suppressed her jealousy and turned to look at Roderick,
then gave a faint smile.
She also needed to create a likable image in front of Roderick.
“Have a drink, chill out.”
Matilda walked to the bar and poured Roderick a drink herself,
but just as she handed it to him, she slipped and the drink spilled
into his lap.
“Sorry!”
Matilda hung her head in distress, nervously pulling out a
handkerchief to wipe it for him.
Originally, Roderick, who looked displeased, glanced at the
aggrieved and frightened Matilda, and suppressed his anger.
“No worries, I’ll just go change my clothes.”
As Roderick’s figure disappeared around the corner, Matilda
finally wiped away her tears and glanced back at the phone he
left on the table.
Since he was hesitating, I decided to give him a hand.
Chapter31
Matilda edited a message on her phone, and then she heard
Roderick’s voice behind her.
“What were you doing?”
“I didn’t… didn’t do anything.” Matilda awkwardly smiled,
deleted the message, and quietly put her phone back.
“I just wanted to see if there was anything that still needed to be
set up!”
When Andrea received the text, she was packing up the last
batch of luggage at the villa.
The sender’s number showed as Roderick’s, and the message
was brief.
Tonight at 8 o’clock, meet at Muse Club VIP3.
She stared at the message for a long time.
Even though he had already decided to leave, his heart couldn’t
help but beat faster.
What did he want to do?
Isn’t it still some time away from your birthday?
Andrea wanted to know what the hell Roderick was up to, so
Chapter 31
she decided to go.
This is the last time.
Andrea changed into a simple beige dress. Before leaving, she
hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she went downstairs.
The Muse Club had dim lighting, and the corridors were as
winding as a maze.
Andrea found the VIP3 private room. As soon as she pushed
open the door, she was hit by the deafening music and strong
smell of smoke and alcohol, making her step back.
