“Mr. Lehner, I heard that you courted Wilma back then. It hasn't been more than a month since the two of you married, but you're already sick of her? Men really are terrible,” the woman whose hands were wandering all over him deliberately said.
Indeed, he was a terrible man.
But so what? He was rich. Money was all that mattered to these women, so they were willing to turn a blind eye to anything he did.
“It was interesting at the start, but she's now pregnant, so I can't do anything anymore. I can't believe she's even trying to put a leash around my neck! How can I let her lord over me? That's enough; let's not talk about that revolting woman anymore. As long as you can serve me well, these are yours.” With that said, Phineas placed a stack of cash on the coffee table.
The two women by his side immediately beamed at the thick wad of cash.
“I knew you were a generous man, Mr. Lehner. Don't worry. We'll definitely have you enjoying yourself tonight.” After all, the two women were one of the best in the clubhouse.
“Mm, I love women like you. You're flirty enough!” Phineas remarked as he let his hands wander on the two women's bodies.
Right then, someone opened the door. When the two women raised their heads, they were met with a pair of terror-inducing eyes.
“Who are you? Why are you here? Did you come to the wrong room?” Phineas questioned upon lifting his head and seeing the pretty face before him. He had seen the woman before. Even though he had only encountered her once, he would never forget that face of hers.
She's Wilma's boss, right? She came to my wedding before.
However, Phineas was fearless and even seemed to relish the idea of pinning down a beautiful woman like Sophie. “Ms. Sophie, what brings you here?”
“You two, please head out for a moment. I have some things to discuss with this man over here,” Sophie icily uttered.
The two women did not dare to say anything in protest at Sophie's aggressive demeanor, so they left in silence.
On the other hand, Phineas, who was partially undressed on the couch, gulped at the sight of Sophie's beauty.
“Ms. Sophie, what would you like to talk to me about? Are you here to have some fun with me? Let me tell you this first—I'm a pretty strong man. I—”
Sophie's expression remained stony despite his disgusting words.
Then, she interrupted him by questioning, “Did you hit Wilma?”
Ah, so she's here to settle the score with me.
“Ms. Sophie, that's between us. I didn't hit her; it's just a romantic act between the two of us.”
“A romantic act?”
Sophie barked out a laugh in her fury. How can men like him exist in this world? He beat her to within an inch of her life, but here he is, telling me that it's a romantic act!
“Uh-huh! That's what a lot of people do nowadays. Ms. Sophie, you're still unmarried, so you wouldn't understand this.”
“It looks like you're one for 'romantic acts' like these.” To say such things means he's unrepentant.
“Ms. Sophie, it's Christmas. Why are you here telling me these things instead of keeping your boyfriend company at home?” Phineas taunted. Wilma's my wife. Even if I do hit her, she has to endure it in silence. “Ms. Sophie, please don't tell me you're here to have some fun because your boyfriend can't fulfill your needs.”
Tristan could not believe that the douchebag was casting doubt on his stamina just as he arrived at the place. Excuse me? No man is going to stand for that!
“Why aren't you going inside?” he then asked Sophie.
Sophie turned to look at him. The only reason she had not taught Phineas a lesson herself was because Tristan had told her he was going to do it.
“I was waiting for you.”
Once Phineas saw Tristan by Sophie's side, he quickly tidied his clothes.
“What are you trying to do? You can't do as you please! We live in a lawful society, all right?” Phineas cried out, his words tinged with panic.
