Chapter 41 Zachary Kisses Her!
Winona lifted her head abruptly, not making a big movement, but Zachary's hand still encircled her waist, naturally sensing her stiffness.
Matthew stood just outside the car, his gaze falling on her through the partially open window. He was wearing a slightly casual shirt and trousers, and his well-proportioned figure made it hard to ignore him even in the dim shadow.
Winona's mind went blank for a moment, and she subconsciously called out, "Matthew..."
A sharp pain shot through her waist, and she almost cried out, but she held back because there was still a third person present.
She wasn't sure if Matthew had seen Zachary in the car. The parking lot was dimly lit, and considering his distance and angle, he probably hadn't noticed.
Matthew smiled slightly and walked towards her. "I thought I recognized you earlier, but I didn't expect it to be really you."
As he approached, Winona's body stiffened even more. She clenched her hand on Zachary's chest, her voice trembling, "Don't come any closer!"
Because Zachary was kissing her!
Zachary's lips landed on her wrist, with a force that left a visible mark on her fair skin.
Matthew paused in confusion. Although he didn't understand, he gentlemanly stopped and didn't move closer.
But as the distance shortened, he clearly saw the redness in Winona's eyes and a hint of grievance.
Frowning slightly, he remembered her jokingly mentioning the three billion dollars loan when they last met at the restaurant. Could she be worried about that?
Matthew pursed his thin lips and said softly, "Are you worried about the money you mentioned last time? Although three billion dollars is a lot, if you really need it, I can..."
Before he finished speaking, Winona froze. She already knew what he meant and couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in her heart.
However, her brief warmth was quickly frozen by Zachary's words, "Matthew, since when do you enjoy charity?"
The man's tone held mockery and frivolity. Matthew hesitated and unsurely asked, "Zachary?"
Zachary wrapped his arm around the woman's waist and sat up, despite Winona's attempt to stop him. But how could her strength match that of a man?
Any action at this moment would only make matters worse!
Zachary's shirt was only held together by the bottom two buttons, and he leaned back lazily, with his collar casually open, revealing his taut and sleek abdomen.
His slender hand trailed up Winona's waist and stopped just before touching that sensitive area, then slid back down, filled with a strong sense of desire.
He looked at Matthew outside the car and spoke in a tone that was partially joking, "Or do you think I can't come up with three billion dollars?"
After a moment's surprise, Matthew smiled warmly, "I'm sorry, it seems like I interrupted you."
Clearly, there was a misunderstanding.
Winona's face instantly turned red, and she couldn't even bring herself to look at Matthew's face. Why did it have to happen at this moment!
That bastard Zachary, he was intentionally doing all this to provoke Matthew.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, you're such a jerk! However, she still wanted to explain. Winona didn't want to see Matthew again in the future. All he associated her with was "car incident"!
"Matthew, you misunderstood. He and I..."
Zachary raised an eyebrow and interrupted her explanation confidently, "Mrs. Bailey, button up your clothes first."
Upon hearing this, Winona immediately lowered her head and realized that the buttons on her chest had come undone, revealing a glimpse of black lace lingerie.
Dammit!
She lowered her head and hurriedly buttoned up her clothes. By the time she looked up again, Matthew had already walked far away.
Now she couldn't explain anything anymore!
"Zachary, you jerk!"
The man's voice turned cold, "How am I a jerk? Did I let your old lover misunderstand you, or did I prevent you from going down and pouring your heart out to him?"
Winona gritted her teeth and didn't want to deal with him anymore. She reached out to open the car door, but before her hand could touch the handle, the man pulled her back.
Zachary's eyes were filled with a frosty gaze. "What do you want by borrowing three billion dollars from him?"
The woman frowned, struggling to free her hand from his grip, showing evident displeasure. "Isn't that a rhetorical question?"
Zachary smirked, but his smile held no sincerity, only coldness.
"You became Mrs. Bailey before because of three billion dollars. Now, if he gives you three billion dollars, what are you planning to give him?"
His gaze swept over her, filled with disdain and contempt. "Besides this body, you can't offer him anything else. However, Matthew isn't interested in second-hand women."
Hearing the term "second-hand," Winona scrunched her brows. "Do you think everyone is as despicable as you?"
"Despicable? Don't forget who begged shamelessly to become Mrs. Bailey in the first place." Zachary's lips curled up, his coldness deepening. Winona felt like he was about to snap her wrist!
"If it weren't for your forcefulness back then... Would I have to become Mrs. Bailey at all? Whoever wants that title, they can take it. I would've gladly helped you pay for the marriage certificate!"
This was the first time Winona cursed. While the Sullivan family wasn't as wealthy or influential as the Bailey family, they were still a prestigious household and placed great importance on manners. If her father heard her curse, she wouldn't escape a beating!
Obviously, Zachary was also angered by her words. Veins popped up on his forehead as he gritted his teeth, "The Sullivan family used to be a respectable family. How did they raise a daughter like you?"
"You..." Winona knew she couldn't argue with him. Every second she spent in this space felt suffocating. She forcefully tried to pull her hand away. "Zachary, are you not annoyed? Can't you... Ah!"
Suddenly, she let out a sharp cry of pain, and the next second, tears overflowed uncontrollably from her eyes!
It happened while she was arguing with Zachary.
In the midst of the struggle, her finger accidentally bumped into the back of the seat in front with a solid "snap" sound. The pain was excruciating, causing Winona to break out in a cold sweat and curl up her body, unable to utter a word.
Zachary furrowed his brows and reached out to hold her injured hand. Winona instinctively tried to avoid him, but his slender fingers firmly gripped her wrist, without hesitation touching the painful joint...
