Chapter 183 Xavier and Grace's Secret Was Discovered
The noise outside pierced through the supposedly soundproof door, reaching Grace inside the room.
She shifted under the covers, a pale arm slipping out from the warmth of the blanket.
The racket outside only made her headache worse.
Grace moved again, the clamor growing louder. She blinked her eyes open.
'What's going on so early?' she wondered, but her thoughts stopped short. 'Is that a man's chest?'
She blinked, her long lashes brushing against Xavier's chest like tiny feathers. Her other hand touched his firm abs.
Grace gasped and quickly lifted her head, only to bump into a chiseled jaw.
She let out a small cry of pain, waking Xavier. He looked down at her and grabbed the hand touching his abs with one large hand.
Xavier, now fully awake, furrowed his brow slightly. His thin lips parted, his voice husky with sleep. With a hint of allure, he murmured, "Stop touching."
At the sound of his familiar voice and the sight of his familiar face, Grace's pupils dilated.
What was going on? How did she end up sleeping with Xavier again?
She was pressed against Xavier as if she were in his arms, the two of them entwined.
Her skin was against Xavier's, and she realized she seemed to be wearing nothing!
Grace thought, 'Did Xavier and I... again last night?' Her memory was hazy; she had blacked out and couldn't remember the previous evening. She only remembered drinking but couldn't recall when Xavier had arrived. The details of how she ended up at the hotel were a blur.
"Xavier? How did we end up here? Did you book this room? Did you undress me?"
Grace fired off three questions in a row, not giving him a chance to respond. The noise outside grew louder, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Mr. Ryan Montgomery, did you also receive the news?"
"Mr. Ryan Montgomery, what do you think about Ms. Lewis getting drunk and going to a hotel with another man? Will you call off the engagement with Ms. Lewis?"
Outside, the media swarmed around Ryan.
Now that Ryan was here, the media wouldn't miss any opportunity. If this news was true, it would be a huge story.
Ryan's face was extremely pale, with a sickly pallor and a hint of anger.
He had received news this morning that Grace had gone to a hotel with another man.
He rushed over immediately. If Grace had really slept with another man, he would never forgive her.
Grace had brought him so much trouble, turning him into the target of online abuse, and leading to his father's wrath. If Grace was truly playing dirty, he vowed to ruin her reputation in return!
"Do you have the room key?" Ryan asked.
"Yes!" Someone quickly handed over the room key. No one dared to open the door earlier, but now that Ryan was here, it was different.
Letting Ryan unlock the door seemed like the most sensible option. The click of the room door being unlocked echoed in the hallway.
Xavier didn't have time to answer Grace's questions. As soon as the door was unlocked, he pulled up the blanket.
The oversized blanket enveloped Grace's head, hiding her from view.
At that moment, Ryan was almost pushed into the room by the people outside, their cameras aimed at the bed.
Xavier sat up from the bed, his chest exposed, showing off a well-toned body for all to see.
Only Xavier was visible, with Grace hidden under the blanket.
Ryan was stunned, unable to say a word.
The media went wild. This was a sensational story.
"There really is a man. Did Ms. Lewis really do something with a man here last night?"
"Is this guy a gigolo? He's so handsome."
Xavier rarely appeared in the media, and there were no photos of him online, so no one recognized him.
"Mr. Ryan Montgomery, what do you think? Will you forgive Ms. Lewis?"
All of a sudden, the cameras shifted their focus to Ryan's face. His expression of shock and fear was captured in vivid detail.
Ryan stood still, and others thought he was shocked by the scene. After all, anyone would be shocked and angry if their fiancée cheated before the wedding.
But Ryan's expression seemed off, more like fear.
"Mr. Ryan Montgomery, could you share your thoughts with us?"
Ryan's lips moved. Looking at Xavier on the bed, he called out in fear, "Xavier."
Xavier's hand moved to his forehead, then his fingers ran through his hair, his eyes cold.
The media were captivated by Xavier's actions. The man Grace found seemed even more handsome than Ryan.
Especially his face, which was flawless, and his body, which was like that of a male model.
But what did Ryan just call this man? Xavier?
Slowly, a dawning realization spread through the crowd. The excitement of breaking a major story faded, replaced by frozen smiles and uncertain gazes.
Could this man be the renowned Xavier Montgomery? The one who reigned over the business world as the CEO of DG Group? And also Ryan's uncle.
It was too shocking. Xavier and Ryan's fiancée spending a night in a hotel together. If this news got out, it would shock the entire country.
Just the fact that Grace cheated before the wedding would keep this news at the top of the headlines for days. If her affair was with Xavier, the news would be explosive.
More importantly, this was Xavier, who was known to dislike scandal.
The mere thought sent the reporters into a frenzy. However, the question lingered: could this explosive news be released, considering they had captured Xavier on camera?
A hushed tension filled the room as everyone exchanged uneasy glances. Xavier was infamous for being a cold-hearted devil, known for his ruthless and unforgiving nature. Those who dared to cross him seldom met a favorable fate.
They might not even be able to leave here today, let alone report the news.
The room fell silent, every gaze fixed on Xavier. As his cold stare met theirs, a collective shiver ran through the onlookers, their hearts skipping a beat in fear.
Xavier's lashes lowered, and when he looked up again, his eyes were filled with a violent rage, like a beast about to break free and tear its prey and opponents apart, ready to crush their hearts.
"Drop the cameras and get out!" Xavier's voice was laced with anger.
The media quickly dropped their cameras, as if a moment's hesitation would cost them their lives.
But Ryan's next words made them stop in their tracks, eager to see what would happen next. It was bound to be unprecedentedly exciting.
"Xavier, is the person in your bed Grace?" Ryan's fists clenched as he struggled to control his emotions.
