Chapter 245
I was instantly left speechless, not wanting us to be seen by others.
But the thought of being dragged in like this was even less appealing Taking advantage of the liquid courage, I suddenly raised my hand and slapped
Neil
“Smack!”
The sound of the slap was piercing Neil immediately stopped in his tracks. He looked down at me in his arms, his whole body shaking with anger. “Got brave after a few drinks, huh? Don’t regret it later.”
Before I could react. Neil already strode into the villa.
Everything inside the villa remained the same as it was two years ago, even the smell in the air. As I looked at the familiar decorations, my feelings were mixed
Being tall and having long legs, Neil had already carried me to the master bedroom on the second floor while I was still in a daze.
Returning to this bedroom that I had personally decorated after more than two years, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness
Back then, I was looking forward to my married life with Neil with a joyful heart, even shyly imagining our intimate moments in bed, and had a double bed specially made.
However, I ended up sleeping alone for several years, turning the double bed into a large single bed.
“Why did you bring me here?” I was placed on the bed, my strength drained by the alcohol. I had no choice but to ask while lying down.
Neil started to undress, removing his coat, then his sweater and shirt in front of me, without any hesitation.
Finally, he tossed his dirty clothes into a laundry basket, his muscular upper body bare. He then asked me vaguely, “What do you think? What can a man and a woman do when they’re in bed together?”
“We’ve slept together before, haven’t we? You don’t need to force me now, do you?” I asked calmly.
“So, what are you going to compensate me for my hurt?” Neil stood by the bed, looking down at me. He scanned me from head to toe with his deep eyes. His gaze was filled with primal desire, making my heart tremble. I didn’t want to have anything to do with Neil anymore.
Was I supposed to repay him with my body for using him to provoke Russel just now?
I suddenly regretted it. Using anyone else would be fine, but using Neil was too much. The cost was too high.
“Neil. I. Before I could say anything, I heard a knock on the door
A maid’s voice came from outside, “Mr. Whitmore. Ms. Tueley has barged into the villa. She’s causing a scere in the living room. What should we do?”
Bonnie? Did she break in? I looked at Neil in surprise. Neil’s face had already darkened.
He said, “I’ll be night down.”
After that, he went to the wardrobe to change into a set of casual clothes. He glanced at me, didn’t ask for my opinion, and went down by himself.
I didn’t want to join the drama, but I heard Bonnie’s voice from outside the door. She sounded very agitated, ‘Neil, did you bring Irene back home? Why?
What does she have that I don’t?”
Wasn’t she in the living room? Did she come upstairs?
I got out of bed and weakly walked towards the door, but then something unexpected happened. The door was pushed open abruptly, and I was knocked to the ground.
I couldn’t help but cry out in pain, I was already feeling unwell, and this made it worse.
Bonnie stood at the door, her eyes looking at me as if I were her enemy.
“Are you alright? Where did you hit? Does it hurt? Neil ran to my side anxiously picked me up, and put me back on the bed.
His concern for me was like a dagger to Bonnie’s heart. I could see the fury in her eyes.
“Neil, don’t be fooled by her! She’s trying to seduce you because she’s down and out now and wants your help!” Bonnie pointed at me and said loudly
She seemed to think I was just like her.
She didn’t know that I had already refused all of Neil’s help. Now, I didn’t even have the desire to argue.
Neil’s face turned cold as he said, “I don’t need your opinion on my business with her.
Hearing this Bonnie looked flustered and confused.
“No.” Bonnie denied it, but she couldn’t explain,
I was puzzled. How could Bonnie have the key to this place?
did you get in? Did you steal the key?”
I always chose the doors for the villa myself, with fingerprint locks, password locks, keyhole locks, and facial recognition, I usually don’t carry keys.
“No problem, changing a few doors is no big deal. Neil said calmly, but his voice was cold, “But how did you know she was here with me?”
Faced with this question, Bonnie was even more at a loss. She just glared at me as if she wanted to devour me.
She didn’t dare to answer Neil’s question, which meant the situation was getting serious. Apart from me and Neil, the only people who knew I Neils tonight were Russel and Chloe.

Would Russel and Chloe tell Bonnie? I didn’t think so. I still trust Russel.
But thinking about his past actions, I became scared again. If Bonnie and I had switched places, then Russel might have joined forces with Bonnie to stop me and Neil.
Even though I didn’t want to get back together with Neil, in Russel’s eyes, I was a foolish woman still in love with Neil.
“Did Russel tell you?” I asked, not even knowing why I asked that myself.
Bonnie’s face changed; she then sneered and said, “You just broke up with Russel not long ago, and you’re already bad-mouthing him? Were you just using him before to provoke Neil?*
I frowned. When I was with Russel, part of the reason was indeed to sever ties with Neil, but the main reason was that I genuinely wanted to give him a chance.
Neil’s voice grew colder, “Get out!”
“Neil, why are you treating me like this? My feelings for you are not less than Irene’s. I’m younger than her, my status is now superior, and you had feelings for me before, didn’t you?” Bonnie’s eyes were red with tears. “Without me, could you have gotten Karina Aaron’s diary? Do you know that my mother almost made me leave the house for you?”
“I’ve never had a thing for you, got it?” Neil asked coldly, gripping Bonnie’s arm tightly and dragging her towards the door.
“I’m not leaving”” Bonnie shouted defiantly, “Neil, you can date other women, but not Irene. She’s the reason we missed our shot!”
As they got to the door, Bonnie suddenly whipped out a bottle from her pocket and chucked it at me like a madwoman.
The glass bottle smashed into the wall, shattering into countless pieces, with the liquid inside splattering everywhere. A few drops fell on my cheek, and I instantly felt a burning sting.
I bolted from the bed, only to see the wall starting to corrode. Holy crap, it was sulfuric acid!
