Chapter 1560 We're Disgusting Together
The rich lady chimed in, "Ms. Ramsey, chill out. Michael's got no real power right now, and his projects are tanking. You're the top dog at Dreamscape Entertainment Group, backed by the Nelson family. Who's gonna mess with you?"
Bernice rubbed her neck, still red from being choked, and thought to herself, 'Michael, go ahead and rage. The madder you get, the more you'll regret it. This is just the start.'
After she left the party, her phone buzzed.
It was Lucas. When she picked up, she heard a cold, low chuckle, "Bernice, you really stirred the pot at the party."
"What, cat got your tongue?" Lucas snapped when she didn't respond.
"No," Bernice croaked, her throat sore from Michael's grip. "My throat's messed up from Michael. It hurts."
"You're gutsy. How come he didn't choke you out?" Lucas mocked.
"If he did, you'd have no one to toy with," Bernice rasped.
"Good you know that. Bernice, your life is mine now. Don't try any funny business," Lucas sneered, "I know Michael well. I also know exactly what you said to make him that angry."
"It's not just Michael; even I want to kill you. I saved you and covered for you, not so you could go confess to Michael. If he thinks it through, he'll know I'm behind you," Lucas huffed.
"So you backstab a friend and still want to play the good guy?" Bernice mocked, marveling at Lucas's shamelessness.
"Who did I betray my friend for?" Lucas shot back.
Bernice paused, then said, "Definitely not for me. Probably for your penis."
"My genitals?" Lucas repeated, then laughed, "Bernice, you're something else."
"Am I wrong?" Bernice challenged.
"No. Since you know that, you should understand your mission. My penis needs you now," Lucas suddenly said.
Bernice's eyes filled with disgust. "Are you sure you want me to come over? Aren't you scared of running into Michael?"
"If you dare to speak, what do I have to fear?" Lucas sneered, "Hurry up. I'm in a bad mood."
Bernice lowered her eyes. "Okay."
It wasn't far from where she was to Lucas's place, just a thirty-minute drive.
When she walked in, Lucas was lounging on the sofa, legs crossed, a laptop on his lap, looking all refined and elegant.
But everyone in Whisperlyn City knew that behind Lucas's polished exterior was a cold, indifferent heart.
And the women who had been with Lucas knew he was a beast in bed and always in control.
"Come here." He motioned her over, setting the laptop aside.
Bernice walked over with a blank expression, her wrist caught by his warm hand. The next second, she was on his lap.
"Michael did this?" Lucas immediately noticed the finger marks on her neck, clearly from a strong grip. His eyes narrowed.
"Yeah," Bernice replied flatly, as if it wasn't her who had been choked.
"I heard you were almost choked to death," Lucas's fingers moved slowly on her neck, like a snake's tongue. "Bernice, this is the first and last time. Don't let it happen again. I'm not done playing with you yet. You can't have any accidents, got it?"
He spoke softly, but his words were ice-cold.
Bernice looked up at him and said, "Michael wouldn't dare."
"Right." Lucas found he quite liked her confident demeanor, making him want to throw her onto the bed and conquer her immediately.
He lifted her chin, about to kiss her, but suddenly stopped, "It's always this cold face. Smile. I'm not interested in playing with a robot."
Bernice said flatly, "I'm being threatened by you. Not throwing up is already doing you a favor."
"Throw up?" Lucas laughed lowly, but his eyes were cold. "Do I disgust you that much?"
"You know how many women you've slept with. Honestly, I'm quite afraid of catching an STD," Bernice said bluntly.
"What right do you have to talk to me like that?" Lucas squeezed her chin harder. "You weren't a virgin when you slept with me. Stop pretending to be innocent. It's disgusting."
"If you find me disgusting, don't touch me." Bernice stared at him, her cold eyes reflecting his indifferent yet handsome face.
Lucas looked at her, reminded of another woman.
Why were their eyes so similar?
It always made him feel a surge of anger.
"Then let's be disgusting together." Lucas's lazy voice mocked as he lowered his head, pressing his lips forcefully against hers.
Bernice didn't move, letting him kiss her as he pleased, neither rejecting nor responding.
Honestly, she found it quite boring and disgusting, but Lucas never seemed to tire of it.
Clothes fell to the floor, and Lucas's kisses landed densely.
Outside, there was a sudden knock on the door, but he ignored it.
"Lucas, open the door!" Michael's roaring voice sounded, followed by the sound of kicking the door.
Bernice dodged Lucas's kiss. "You should deal with Michael first."
"You still have the mind to think about Michael. Looks like I'm not trying hard enough." Lucas turned her face, his throat exuding deadly temptation.
The next moment, he picked her up and carried her upstairs.
Bernice gritted her teeth, cursing him in her heart, but she couldn't do anything about it.
Downstairs, Michael knocked on the door for a long time, almost numbing his hands and feet. He took out his phone. "Lucas, I know you're in there. If you don't open the door, I'll have to call a locksmith."
"You've gotten mad, daring to break into my house." The door suddenly opened from the inside, and Lucas appeared lazily, his bathrobe loosely tied, his eyes still dark red, and a familiar scent of a woman wafting from him.
Michael immediately recognized the scent.
Not long ago, he had smelled it on Bernice when he had her by the neck.
At that moment, Michael suddenly understood.
Michael's eyes turned red with anger. "Bernice is upstairs, isn't she?"
Lucas leaned against the shoe cabinet, lit a cigarette, and looked nonchalant. "What's the matter?"
"Lucas, stop pretending," Michael shouted, "Bernice has told me everything. I thought about it all the way here. Megan was kidnapped from your hospital. You were the first to find out that Megan was taken by Bernice, right? You hid the truth and deceived me to get her and sleep with her. I'm your friend, but you deceived me for Bernice!"
