Chapter 182 Grace Took off All Her Clothes
"Xavier, where are you? What's going on in your room...?" Before Stephanie could finish, Xavier hung up.
He set his phone down and handed Grace a bottle of water, opening it for her. He patted her back as she vomited, trying to comfort her.
After a while, Grace rinsed her mouth. Xavier gave her a tissue and asked, "Still feeling sick?"
Grace shook her head and tried to crawl back under the covers, but Xavier stopped her. She had vomited on her clothes, and he couldn't let her rest like that.
Xavier, never one to be shy, had already explored every inch of Grace's body. Keeping his cool, he gently unbuttoned her clothes and took them off.
As he tossed her dirty clothes aside, he turned and saw something that made his blood boil. Grace had unhooked her bra, exposing her fair chest.
Grace had an exquisite figure, slender and curvy in all the right places. Xavier's eyes darkened, and he couldn't hide the flames in his pupils.
If he hadn't been there that day, would that man have taken her away? Would it have been him seeing this moment instead?
Lost in thought, Xavier watched as Grace removed all her clothes before he could react. He didn't get a chance to help her dress; she just tucked herself back under the covers.
Feeling much better after vomiting, Grace slept more comfortably, but Xavier stood there, stunned. The image of her fair body lingered in his mind, and the scattered clothes on the floor looked like a scene from a TV show, as if he had stripped her himself.
Xavier's temperature rose, the flames within him igniting, yet Grace remained oblivious as she lay on the bed. Her seemingly innocent actions had stirred something deep within him.
Her small face was flushed, maybe from a pleasant dream, with a slight smile on her lips. Her face, the size of a palm, still had some dried tear stains.
Grace's waterproof makeup was still intact, her long eyelashes like miniature brushes, elegantly curled and thick.
How could someone so ordinary, seemingly lacking any exceptional qualities, hold such a fatal attraction for Xavier?
Xavier observed Grace for a moment, battling the urge to uncover her, before retreating to the bathroom where he lingered for an hour.
Stephanie, who had been hung up on, tightly gripped her phone, feeling extremely anxious, as if something important had disappeared from her world.
This had never happened before. Xavier almost never had women around him, let alone in his room.
'So who is that woman?' Stephanie wondered.
Skigeth wasn't a big city, and the DG Group's headquarters were in Oakworth. But since Xavier went to Skigeth, he hadn't returned to Oakworth.
No wonder Xavier didn't want to come back; there must be some enchantress over there!
The last time Stephanie went to Skigeth, she didn't find any clues.
'Who is she? Which woman? I have to find her!' she vowed silently.
Xavier was hers, and she wouldn't tolerate any other woman trying to claim him. Anyone daring to desire Xavier should have their eyes gouged out, anyone laying a hand on him should have their hands severed, and anyone engaging in intimacy with him should be dealt with severely!
Stephanie was consumed by jealousy. Why was there a woman in Xavier's room this time? He had never shown interest in women before.
She wanted to fly to Skigeth immediately and drag that woman out. She was determined to find out who the intruder was!
Stephanie didn't know many people in Skigeth. After some thought, the only person she felt she could trust was Grace.
Despite the rumors about Grace wanting to end her engagement, the Montgomery family hadn't officially called it off, so Grace was still Ryan's fiancée.
Grace was also the only one who could get close to Xavier. If she pressured Grace, maybe Grace would help her keep an eye on things.
Stephanie tried calling Grace, but there was no answer. Grace was fast asleep in bed, her phone on the nightstand. Meanwhile, Xavier was in the shower.
Frustrated by the unanswered call, Stephanie almost threw her phone.
She felt like she was getting further and further away from Xavier, panic enveloping her heart.
Her expression was filled with a sense of madness, bordering on the pathological.
She was deeply infatuated with Xavier, her love for him running deep. Stephanie had harbored feelings for him for years, and she was determined to become Xavier's wife, no matter the cost.
It was late at night. Some people, like Grace, were sleeping soundly, while others, like Xavier holding Grace, rarely got a good night's sleep.
And some people were destined for a sleepless night, like Stephanie and Kelly.
The sky gradually brightened. The hotel room's curtains weren't fully drawn, and the morning light seeped through the gaps, shining on the white bed.
Grace and Xavier were snuggled together on the bed, the covers haphazardly draped over them, with one of Grace's legs hanging out.
Her skin was smooth and delicate, even whiter than the sheets.
Her head was resting on a firm chest, Xavier's hand on her waist, his head against her forehead. The scene looked very cozy.
They looked like a married couple, embracing each other sweetly and happily.
Before long, a commotion was heard outside. "We received an anonymous tip that Ms. Lewis is in this room with another man. Is this true?"
"Is Ms. Lewis having a one-night stand to get back at Mr. Ryan Montgomery? Will the engagement between the Lewis Group and the Montgomery Group change? Will Ms. Lewis apologize like Mr. Ryan Montgomery did? Will Mr. Ryan Montgomery forgive Ms. Lewis?"
At the door, the media, who had received the tip, swarmed the place.
They also had a room key, but after the last incident, they didn't dare enter the room recklessly.
The media waited outside, but no one dared to go in first. They had been taught a lesson by the Montgomery Group after exposing Ryan's scandal yesterday.
While the media were pushing and shoving, trying to get someone else to go in first, they suddenly made way.
Ryan, with a somber expression and a slight limp, entered from outside.
He was still clad in hospital attire, giving the impression that he had hurried over directly from the hospital.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, anticipation thick in the air as they awaited the unfolding drama. The possibility of catching Grace with another man inside, perhaps even in bed, fueled their excitement.
