Chapter 775 Helping Out
"It's not about Rock," Bentley stood in front of Winnie, raising an eyebrow. "I brought you up here because there's someone who might need your help. Come with me."
He led her to the bathroom door.
Through the glass door, Winnie could vaguely hear suppressed panting from inside. It was a male voice, deep and heavy, with a restrained sexiness she was very familiar with.
Familiar enough to make her blush.
Lawrence? She realized what might be happening and turned to leave, her face flushed.
Bentley's tall frame blocked her way, and he raised an eyebrow nonchalantly, "Winnie, are you just going to leave him like this?"
"Angelina is looking for him everywhere right now. If she finds him, she'll definitely pounce on him."
He stopped ambiguously, his expression speaking volumes as he looked at the embarrassed and flushed Winnie.
Melanie also understood from the sounds inside, "Winnie, could it be Lawrence in there?"
"You're right," Bentley said to her, then turned to Winnie, "What are you going to do?"
"What do you mean, what am I going to do?"
Winnie was a bit angry that he had brought her up here, her cheeks tinged with red. "Bentley, why are you meddling? Lawrence and I are already divorced. He can just take a cold shower. Why involve me?"
"Besides, if Angelina comes over, can't you just stop her? Why do you have to drag me into this?"
Bentley looked helpless, "I'm a relative of the Harper Family. If I get involved and things blow up tonight, it would make things awkward between me and the Harper Family, and it wouldn't end well. Moreover, if this becomes public knowledge, wouldn't Lawrence be embarrassed too?"
"Angelina drugging him to get him would be all over the news. Look at how bad things are for the Rodriguez Group right now."
Winnie wondered when Bentley and Lawrence had become so close.
Bentley stared at her, "Tonight's event is so grand, and Angelina dared to make a move. She must have her parents' tacit approval. Mr. Harper spoils her too much; she's their only daughter. Do you really want Angelina to get him and for Lawrence to become part of the Harper Family?"
His words made Winnie's face darken, her lips pursed in anger, "Who asked him to attend the party? He said that day that he had nothing to do with Angelina. Then let Angelina help him out. I wish him luck in getting close to the Harper Family."
Melanie couldn't stand her contradictory words, "Winnie, you're just saying that out of anger. You'd definitely mind if that happened."
Just then, the bathroom door suddenly opened with a sharp snap.
Lawrence appeared at the door, his suit jacket off, his shirt disheveled, one side of the hem pulled out of his tailored pants, and his collar wide open, revealing his toned muscles and beautiful collarbone.
His handsome face was flushed, his short hair wet with water droplets, and his features exuded a hint of desire, burning intensely in his deep eyes. He looked straight at Winnie.
Lawrence spoke in a hoarse, cold voice, "Winnie, I didn't come to this party to get close to the Harper Family."
He endured the unbearable heat and pain gnawing at his body, looking at her deeply, "It's just that you mentioned you'd be here with Rock, and I wanted to see you."
The words felt familiar. At Adam's party, he had also said he wanted to see her.
Winnie was stunned.
Looking at him, controlled by desire, even more strikingly handsome and mature, her ears turned red. Why did he always say he wanted to see her? Didn't she just spend time with their sons yesterday?
Was it because of her that he came to Angelina's party?
As she was lost in thought, Lawrence suddenly closed the bathroom door with a thud.
Leaning against the thick glass door, Winnie saw his bent silhouette, his long legs, and heard his painful, hoarse breathing, so sexy that it made both her and Melanie blush.
Melanie couldn't stand it anymore, her face red and flustered, "Winnie, maybe you should go in and help him."
Winnie glared at her. Did Melanie even know what kind of help she was suggesting?
She was annoyed. She came to the party unprepared. The only way to relieve his desire was...
Bentley also became serious, advising, "Winnie, if Angelina comes over and hears these sounds, she'll definitely find him. Then she'll insist on being the antidote."
"Lawrence is out of control right now and can't recognize anyone. If something happens, with so many guests here tonight, the Harper Family will definitely force Lawrence to take responsibility. Then he'll have to marry Angelina for sure."
Melanie whispered, "Winnie, you don't want Angelina to be Sidney's stepmom, do you?"
Winnie's face turned pale. She didn't want that, but helping Lawrence...
And Rock was at the party. How could she do something like this again while still married?
Her breathing became heavy, her mind a tangled mess.
Suddenly, there were a few knocks on the door, followed by Angelina's voice, "Bentley, are you there? Have you seen Mr. Rodriguez?"
Winnie's face changed slightly.
Bentley frowned, and without further ado, he pushed open the bathroom door and shoved Winnie inside before she could react.
Winnie was furious, but the bathroom door had already locked her in mercilessly.
Melanie was dumbfounded and somewhat opposed, "Mr. Jenkins, you can't do this to Winnie."
Bentley raised an eyebrow helplessly, "If she really doesn't want to, she can come out after dealing with Angelina. Let's just avoid the immediate problem first."
Melanie was speechless but had no choice.
However, after Winnie entered the bathroom, Lawrence's panting seemed to quiet down a bit.
Could it be that Lawrence immediately did something to Winnie?
Melanie blushed at the thought.
Meanwhile, Bentley had already walked over and opened the door. Seeing this, Melanie quickly left the bathroom area to avoid arousing Angelina's suspicion. She clutched her clothes and sat down on the sofa.
As soon as the door opened, Angelina barged in, looking around, but saw only Melanie in Bentley's guest room.
She gave Bentley a strange look, "Bentley, didn't you see Lawrence?"
"No," Bentley replied, looking puzzled.
Angelina continued to scan every corner of the room, then said meaningfully, "Then why did you close the door? Could it be that you and your 'fake girlfriend' were doing something inappropriate in here?"
Melanie was furious upon hearing this.
