Chapter 163 Ryan's Excitement, He Finally Discovered the Woman's Identity
Late at night, after another intimate encounter with Kelly, she had fallen into a deep sleep in Ryan's arms.
Ryan lit a cigarette for himself, but no matter what he did, he couldn't fall asleep.
Kelly, still so beautiful, lay in his arms like a pure white flower, so innocent and unaware of the world's dangers. Yet, he felt that he no longer liked her as much.
Kelly was too clingy, unable to leave his side for even a moment. If he wanted to do something else, she would cry and fuss, which annoyed him.
Being entangled with Kelly meant he couldn't seek out other women. Although she had many tricks and could make him feel very comfortable, he still felt that something had changed.
This apartment, a gift to Kelly, was worth over ten million dollars and had been decorated very warmly by Kelly.
Previously, it had felt like home, but now, looking at it, he thought Grace's home seemed better decorated.
Having tasted Grace's cooking, it seemed delicious.
Ryan didn't know why he kept thinking about Grace lately, and whenever he did, he felt endless irritation.
After finishing one cigarette, he quickly lit another, smoking them back-to-back. After a few, he finally picked up his phone and noticed a message from one of his subordinates.
"Mr. Montgomery, is this the person you asked us to investigate earlier?" The subordinate had also sent him several videos of a fashion show.
The woman in the video wore a veil, revealing only her eyes, mysterious and beautiful, instantly captivating.
Ryan felt both excited and shocked. Fixing on the video, he was unable to look away.
The beauty in the video struck his mind, and his previously troubled heart suddenly began to beat again.
Just watching the video made Ryan's blood boil.
When he had been intimate with Kelly earlier, he had felt no interest. Despite Kelly's best efforts, he had only been mildly interested. But at this moment, the woman in the video had done nothing, and just one look at her had ignited his desire.
Ryan wanted her, desperately wanted her!
If he could marry her and be intimate with her once in this lifetime, he would die without regret.
Although the video was not long and Grace only appeared three times, Ryan felt as if he had fallen in love.
Every glance from her seemed to be seducing him.
Ryan quickly replied, "Where is it? She's already walking the runway, and you still can't find her information?"
Ryan wanted all her information; he had to have this woman!
His gaze remained fixed on the screen, following the woman's movements on the runway. The camera briefly panned to the audience, and he naturally spotted Xavier.
Xavier was there, too!
He had forgotten that this woman had an ambiguous relationship with Xavier. She might have been able to participate in such a fashion show because of Xavier's support.
And Xavier's gaze, usually so stern, was also fixed intently on the woman.
Ryan was insanely jealous.
'Why does Xavier get all the good things? What is he lacking?' he questioned inwardly.
Soon, Ryan received a file.
He opened it excitedly. After searching for so long, was he finally going to learn about this woman?
The name on the file was unfamiliar to Ryan; he had never heard of it. Her profession was listed as a model, which explained her beauty.
She had also collaborated with Angela, which explained why she had appeared at the Turner family banquet last time.
Since Ryan had only asked for information, no photos were included.
Ryan naturally assumed that the model who had missed the fashion show due to a sprained ankle was the woman he was looking for!
Having obtained the information, he decided not to rush. He wanted to approach her with gentlemanly manners and slowly court her.
But Ryan couldn't wait another moment; he got up from the bed immediately.
Kelly, hearing the commotion, woke up and clung to Ryan's waist. "Ryan, where are you going so late?"
Ryan's voice carried a hint of impatience. "I have something to do."
Kelly wanted to hold him back but couldn't. She could only watch helplessly as Ryan dressed and left.
She leaned against the bed, biting her lip hard.
Although Ryan had been with her these past few days, she could feel that his heart wasn't in it.
Ryan used to love her body, but now he ended things hastily.
Unfortunately, her belly still showed no signs of pregnancy. Kelly angrily picked up her phone and dialed a number. "James Eliot, come pick me up."
Did Ryan really think that every time she screamed so loudly, it was because she was enjoying it? In reality, he was terrible and so small.
James was different. Before Kelly was captured by Patrick, she had met James in a parking lot. After he forced himself on her, Kelly experienced for the first time how incredibly pleasurable such things could be.
James, despite being poor, was far better than Ryan in many ways.
These days, whenever Ryan wasn't around, Kelly would go to James.
Kelly knew how to control men. She could only let go or pull them back at will by keeping a string around their necks.
James was already under her control.
Ryan immediately rushed to the neighboring city, as the address indicated she lived there.
However, after waiting a whole day without seeing her, Ryan had to return to Skigeth due to work commitments.
Passing by Grace's studio, Ryan wondered what Grace was doing at that moment.
So he got out of the car and walked straight into Grace's studio.
Lily, who already disliked the impolite Ryan, said, "Grace isn't here."
Ryan didn't believe her and insisted on looking around. After waiting for a while, he realized Grace indeed wasn't there.
"Where is Grace? When will she be back?"
Lily replied, "She's on a business trip and won't be back for a while."
"Business trip?" Ryan was surprised. "Where did she go on a business trip?"
Why wasn't she in Skigeth?
Lily had no intention of telling him. Ryan wanted to call Grace, but he knew she wouldn't answer.
So he looked at Lily. "You, call Grace!"
Lily was reluctant, but Ryan's menacing demeanor scared her, so she had to call Grace.
Seeing Lily's call, Grace thought it was something work-related and answered. "Lily, what's up?"
"It's me," Ryan's voice came through the phone.
Grace's tone immediately turned cold. "What did you do to Lily?"
"I didn't do anything to her. But where are you on this business trip?"
"None of your business," Grace replied.
Ryan was angry. "I'm your fiancé. If I can't know, who can? Xavier?"
Grace remained silent, wondering, 'Do men always like to bring up other men when they're angry?'
Xavier liked to mention Omari, and Ryan liked to mention Xavier.
Ryan said, "Let me tell you, you got no chance with Xavier. He's already back in Oakworth and went to see his lover's fashion show. She's a model, much more beautiful than you!"
Grace was silent again.
'Why does that sound so familiar? This model, Xavier's lover—could it be her?'
