Chapter 426 Suffering a Loss
The blinding light made the guy on the bed raise his hand to shield his eyes. He snapped, "Get out."
"Why are you here? Where's Fiorello?" Kimberly asked Gregory, shocked. 'Isn't this Fiorello's hotel room? Why is Gregory here?'
When the light came on, Jenny, embarrassed, hid under the covers. Realizing she had slept with the wrong man, she sat up, still covered. Seeing Gregory, she screamed, "Why is it you, Gregory?"
Jenny was crushed. She thought it was Fiorello, but it turned out to be Gregory.
Gregory, now fully awake, looked around, confused. He knew Fiorello was entertaining the CEO from Hars Group and had followed him. Seeing Fiorello's door open, he went in, needing to discuss something.
Inside, Gregory noticed a strange scent and felt hot. When Jenny came in, he didn't recognize her and used her to relieve his heat.
Kimberly had arranged for an aphrodisiac scent in the room for Fiorello, not expecting Gregory to walk in by mistake.
Seeing Jenny, Gregory sneered, "Like I said, you smell really good."
Jenny threw a pillow at him. "Bastard, I'm going to sue you."
Gregory dodged and sneered, "You were pretty cooperative. What perfume are you wearing? This was consensual. What are you going to sue me for?"
Jenny felt guilty, remembering the intensity. She felt dirty and disgusted, having wanted to save herself for Fiorello.
Kimberly quickly intervened, "Jenny, calm down. It's already happened. Making a scene won't help. I'll give you an explanation."
Gregory was a Flores. Kimberly had always wanted Joseph to bring him back, but Joseph, considering Eleanor's feelings, had delayed it. Still, Gregory was a Flores, and Kimberly couldn't let Jenny sue him.
Kimberly signaled Gregory to leave so she could comfort Jenny.
Gregory, uninterested in Jenny's outburst, picked up his clothes and left.
"Gregory, you bastard," Jenny screamed, wanting to grab him but realizing she wasn't dressed, so she stayed under the covers.
Then a familiar voice came from the doorway. "Well, this is quite a surprise. I didn't expect you and Ms. Holmes to have this kind of relationship."
It was Fiorello.
Hearing Fiorello, Jenny felt deeply ashamed. She couldn't let him see her like this.
But she couldn't hide either. What if Fiorello misunderstood her relationship with Gregory?
Jenny quickly got dressed and went out. Just as she was about to explain, she saw Maggie standing next to Fiorello.
Jenny almost lost it. "Why are you here? Did you set me up, Maggie? You're so vicious."
Maggie sneered. "Ms. Holmes, who you're with has nothing to do with me. I'm here to take my husband home."
Maggie had no sympathy for Jenny. She'd wanted to teach her a lesson for a long time. Although she didn't know why Jenny and Gregory ended up together, she found the outcome satisfying.
Seeing Jenny's rudeness, Fiorello's face darkened. "Ms. Holmes, are you saying your relationship with Gregory wasn't consensual? Should we call the cops and let them sort it out?"
Jenny shut up immediately. She didn't dare call the police. It would be embarrassing, and if it got out, what would she do about her situation with Gregory? She had used aphrodisiac perfume and conspired with Kimberly to get the hotel room key. Even if they checked the surveillance, it would show she entered the room willingly. Who would believe it wasn't consensual? Claiming it was forced would ruin her reputation.
Kimberly hid inside, not daring to come out. How could she explain this to Fiorello? But Fiorello wasn't letting her off the hook. He shouted, "Grandma, it's late. Time to go home."
Kimberly, feeling guilty, took a long time to come out, stammering, "Fiorello, why are you here?"
Fiorello stared at her blankly. "Grandma, why are you here so late instead of resting at home?"
Kimberly forced a laugh. "I heard you drank too much and was worried, so I came to take you home. Aren't you staying in room 1122? Why are you coming from outside?"
Fiorello's tone was cold. "Grandma, you remembered wrong. I'm in room 1123. It's very late. I'll take you home."
"Then I must be getting old and remembered wrong." Kimberly was scared, her laugh guilty. "No need, I'll have Keith drive me home. I'll go now."
Kimberly signaled Jenny to stay quiet and left with the driver. Jenny was both angry and resentful but could only remain silent. She couldn't admit in front of Fiorello that she and Kimberly had conspired against him.
After Kimberly left, Fiorello and Maggie also left, leaving only Gregory and Jenny.
Gregory had no intention of leaving. Leaning against the door frame, he asked with a wicked smile, "How about we go back in and continue?"
Gregory had a rough idea of what had happened and found it quite amusing. He hadn't expected Kimberly and Jenny to come up with such a stupid plan to scheme against Fiorello.
Jenny glared at Gregory. "You bastard, why are you here? You ruined my plan."
Thinking about having sex with Gregory, Jenny wanted to kill him, even though he was a Flores too, and Gregory wasn't bad in terms of looks and physique.
Gregory became interested and didn't leave. He closed the door and smirked. "You were very enthusiastic with me just now. Didn't I make you feel good?"
