Chapter 439 A Thief
Eleanor and the Second Lady had their schemes. One wanted to ruin Winnie, thinking that once she slept with Sean, that playboy, she'd be tainted and her hopes of entering the Blanchet family would be dashed. The Second Lady, tempted by Eleanor, coveted the 10% Blanchet family shares Winnie held. She dared not offend Carlos, so the plan was to have Winnie 'seduce' her son. That way, Sean could also marry into the Blanchet family, and Bryan would be powerful enough to contend with Lawrence. But shortly after they burst into the villa, the Second Lady let out a scream! By the poolside, on the ground, Sean and a shirtless, well-built man were in an embrace, shirts scattered around, the scene was ambiguous and unsightly. "..." Skylar was dumbstruck seeing her son bare-bottomed and being whipped with a belt by another man. "Ah! Sean is actually sleeping with a man, with a man!" Angela, known for her big mouth, couldn't keep secrets. Instantly, everyone who followed Skylar into the villa turned to look. "Sean you little rascal, what is this..." Skylar's voice was low with anger as she stalked over. "Mom, no, I didn't, it was this man who suddenly pounced on me." Sean quickly pulled up his pants, calling out. Amy, watching the drama unfold, clicked her tongue, "Aunt Skylar, who would've thought Bryan was so reserved, he really doesn't discriminate, does he!" "Damn it! I told you it was this stinking man who—" Sean was about to speak but was silenced by Jeremy covering his mouth and nose. Jeremy feigned disgust as he leaned in, "Sean, why didn't you call me a stinking man when you were enjoying yourself just now?" "..." Sean felt like he was about to burst a blood vessel. The scene was too much to bear. Eleanor was dumbfounded, seeing Sean with a man. This wasn't what she had expected. The Rodriguez family's servant was supposed to bring Winnie here. But after searching the pool area, not only did she not find Winnie, but she also saw no signs of struggle. Could it be that Winnie was here, just hiding? Eleanor quickly signaled Angela, and they rushed into Sean's villa, shouting as they searched, "Winnie? Winnie, where are you?" Minutes later, Eleanor came down without spotting Winnie. Skylar was too preoccupied with the collaboration with Eleanor to care. Her son's scandal, being seen by so many, left her frantic, wishing she could turn back time and not have led the group in. Eleanor confronted Sean, "Sean, have you seen my daughter Winnie Anderson come in?" "I, she..." Sean was again silenced by Jeremy. Jeremy joked, "Sean wouldn't bring a woman when he's playing with me, he said he loves me!" "You... get lost." Sean felt nauseous. Skylar was equally sickened. Eleanor, not knowing Jeremy, found him revolting. She quickly changed tactics, "Where could Winnie have gone? She couldn't have disappeared, right? Second Lady, Miss Li, I must find her. If something happens to her, how can I explain to the master!" Skylar, still in shock, agreed, "Mrs. Blanchet, don't worry. Miss Blanchet came to our banquet, we absolutely can't let anything happen to her. I'll immediately send some servants to help you look." "I'll help too," Amy offered, seizing the opportunity with a smile. Jeremy watched these women act, and once they turned to leave, he immediately texted Lawrence. "You disgusting gay, what's your relationship with Miss Blanchet?" Sean came at him, furious. Jeremy stepped on his face with disgust, still shivering from the encounter, "Relax, I'm about to throw up last night's dinner. I'm a perfectly functioning, straight man." Please, he had accidentally slept with Lynn while drugged three years ago on the night Winnie had an incident. Although it was his first time, it was enough to prove he was normal. Dressed now, Jeremy warned him with a sinister tone, "About Miss Blanchet being here, you'd better not say a word. Of course, no one will believe you now anyway!" Outside Sean's villa, Eleanor and the Second Lady had gathered many of the Rodriguez family's servants to 'search' for Winnie on a large scale. Jeremy's eyelids twitched. - Lawrence received the message and immediately stood up. At this hour... Ishara's eyes flickered, her mother might be taking action. She quickly noted the man's off expression, put down her bowl of medicinal soup, and wrapped her arms around Lawrence's arm with a smile, "Lawrence, I suddenly really want to watch a movie. I heard the Rodriguez family has a private cinema, can you take me there?" Lawrence subtly pulled his arm free. His mind was on the message, his face tense, and he softly said, "Ishara, I have something to attend to. You can go watch by yourself, I'll have a servant come to assist you!" "But I only want Lawrence to accompany me, cough cough... I haven't finished my medicinal soup, aren't you going to supervise me?" Ishara did her best to prevent him from leaving now! With a weak tone, she pointed at the soup, attempting to use her health as leverage. Lawrence, out of patience and confirming that she was all right and a doctor was constantly by her side, stood up with a distant frown and finally said, "Ishara, I did promise to be your boyfriend, but a boyfriend can't be by your side 24/7, I have my own free time. You're doing well now, you don't need me to look after you. Eat your soup, rest, or go to the cinema, it's up to you." Perhaps too rushed, he didn't notice his harsh tone, and after instructing the doctor, he left. Ishara's face was obedient, but inside she seethed with anger. Recalling, he was only extra gentle and caring with her in front of the Blanchet family elders and during the banquet when he thought of Winnie. Alone like this, he was cold and proud to the bone, merely polite and 'dutiful' to her. She would pull on his arm, and he would immediately withdraw, clearly rejecting her affection. Like this, she had no chance to stir his emotions. In the end, he really only cared about her body. If she had known, she would've used her illness to threaten him earlier! Ishara clenched her teeth, watching Lawrence grab his coat and stride out. Maybe he was in a hurry because Winnie had called for help? Was he still so anxious about that wretch? Ishara, jealous, immediately sent a message to Eleanor, hinting, "Mother, Lawrence might be on his way, speed up your actions!" She couldn't show her hand or expose herself. But as long as her mother succeeded, catching Winnie and Sean in the act, Mr. Rodriguez would completely discard her. Ishara sneered. - Standing in front of Winnie was an elderly maid holding a lamp, startling Winnie. She held her breath in fear, stepping back— The old servant spoke, "Miss Blanchet, I am Leah Rodriguez's servant . Can't find your way out of Sean's yard? The old lady sent me to help you, to show you the way." Winnie frowned, Leah Rodriguez again?
