Chapter 805
Massaging the bruises was quite painful, but once the blood flow was restored, the warmth in the lower back felt rather comfortable.
When Jackson finally stopped, a large area of enticing redness appeared on Lillian's lower back.
Jackson's eyes darkened, and his large hand couldn't help but move upward as he asked, "Does it feel good? Do you want me to massage your back some more?"
He was more than capable of giving a full-body massage.
Jackson's voice was husky, and as he spoke, his actions became increasingly bold, testing and yearning.
Lillian, however, did not refuse.
Jackson was overjoyed, leaned down, and planted a light kiss on Lillian's beautiful shoulder blade.
The familiar and alluring scent of gardenias from Lillian's body filled Jackson's nostrils, and as he became increasingly aroused, he noticed something was off.
Lillian, lying there, hadn't refused, but she also hadn't reacted at all.
Jackson suddenly lifted his head and turned to look.
Lillian had fallen asleep, and it was clear she hadn't just dozed off; she was in a deep sleep.
Jackson didn't know whether to be happy that she was so relaxed and trusting around him now, or to be sad that she could ignore his presence in such an intimate situation.
Had he lost his charm for her?
Thinking of this, Jackson's thin lips pressed into a straight line, and he gritted his teeth, feeling an urge to tear off her clothes and teach her a lesson.
However, looking at Lillian's peaceful sleeping face, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Instead, he gently picked her up and carried her to the bedroom upstairs.
Jackson lingered by Lillian's bed for a few minutes, and seeing no sign of her waking up, he finally left the Peace Mansion.
As he got into the car, Terry said, "Sir, we've found out that the person spreading the videos and manipulating the rumors is Bianca. The videos and photos were first spread in the employee group of HorizonHive Media. Since it was just small employees discussing privately and not posting online, we didn't catch it in time. This was my oversight."
Terry swallowed his dry throat after speaking, ready to be scolded.
After all, Lillian had suffered such grievances at Star Group before, and now with these rumors spreading, she must have heard a lot of gossip.
Surprisingly, Jackson was in a good mood and simply said, "Be more careful next time. You found out quickly this time, so you've redeemed yourself."
Not only was he not penalized, but he also received a compliment?
Today was another day to be grateful to Mrs. Frane.
Terry immediately relaxed, "Mr. Frane, I've already notified Mr. Porter. Should we head there now?"
Jackson nodded, and Terry immediately started the car towards the Porter Manor.
Jackson also took out his phone and called Gray.
Gray answered quickly, but his voice lacked energy.
"Jackson."
"Go to the Porter Manor immediately," Jackson said in a deep voice.
Bianca was Gray's problem, so he had to be involved in settling this.
"The Porter Manor? What for? Jackson, are you so afraid I'll keep bothering Shirley that you want to personally escort me to marry Bianca?" Gray's voice was filled with resentment.
Jackson chuckled, "You know you're bothering her?"
Gray was speechless.
Jackson briefly explained what Bianca had done and then hung up.
Gray was at the Flores family estate, coming downstairs where Melissa was sitting on the sofa reading the latest fashion magazine.
Seeing Gray come down, she immediately put the magazine aside and asked, "Going out again? You seem to have plenty of time. Why don't you meet the girls I've arranged for you? Let me tell you..."
Melissa grabbed a stack of photos and pulled Gray over.
She was eager to set him up on dates every day.
Gray frowned and interrupted, "Mom, please stop. Your taste is off. You introduced me to Bianca, saying she was well-mannered and understanding, but look what happened?"
"She was so reckless that she even dared to spread rumors about Jackson. Now Jackson has scolded me and gone to the Porter Manor. I'm going out because of this. My friendship with Jackson might end today because of Shirley."
Gray's expression was serious, deliberately making the situation sound worse.
Melissa immediately became anxious. Jackson was incredibly influential, and Gray's friendship with him made even Gray's father look up to him.
Melissa was counting on Jackson's support for Gray in the family inheritance battle.
With Jackson's support, everything would be much easier.
"Gray, how could it be so serious? I didn't expect Bianca to have two faces and be so good at acting in front of elders."
Gray's frown deepened.
"Bianca's cunning is more harmful than real stupidity. She could drag the Flores family down with her."
"That won't do. Gray, don't worry. I've already politely declined Bianca's mother Zoey's proposal for an alliance. I'll call Zoey later to make it clear."
Gray sighed in relief, "I'm glad you understand, Mom. I'm leaving now."
He took a step, but Melissa grabbed him again.
"Bianca is out, but look at these other girls I've chosen for you. This time, I did thorough background checks. They're all good girls, and they're all beautiful, definitely your type. Just take a look."
Gray refused to look, but Melissa shoved the photos in his face.
Gray glanced at them reluctantly, frowning even more.
Why did these women all look so strange to him?
After a moment, Gray realized that Melissa had chosen women who somewhat resembled Shirley.
Melissa probably thought that since he was entangled with Shirley, she must be his type.
But now, just thinking about Shirley annoyed Gray, and seeing these photos gave him a headache.
"Mom, please stop. I don't like this type anymore."
Gray said, pushing Melissa's hand away and quickly leaving the villa.
Melissa looked at the photos scattered on the floor, slightly puzzled.
Not his type anymore?
It seemed he had fallen out with that little star. She didn't expect Shirley to be so sensible.
At the Porter Manor.
Jackson's car stopped in the courtyard, and another car pulled up in front.
From the car, Star stepped out with a gift bag. As she stood up, she saw Jackson getting out of the back seat of the Cullinan.
Today, Jackson was wearing a dark gray peak lapel suit, looking composed and restrained, a sight that always left her amazed and moved.
Star felt like she hadn't seen him in a long time, and her heart started to race as she walked up with bright eyes.
"Jackson, what a coincidence."
