chapter16
My expression froze.
Preston was wearing a suit, so he could take off his jacket and still have a white shirt on, but if I took off a piece of clothing, I would be left with nothing on.
I lifted my gaze to the crowd. Everyone’s eyes were on me expectantly, and I felt like a rabbit surrounded by wolves.
Which…I essentially was. Minus Khloe.
Even Roman stared at me, waiting for me to take off my dress.
I knew that complying with their demand would mean sacrificing my dignity, but resisting would only make it harder for me to leave this private room. I felt trapped and helpless, my fists clenched with frustration.
But I was about to die in a few months. Why would I still clutch onto my dignity and reputation?
Just as I was about to give in and start unzipping my dress, Preston’s voice interrupted the tense silence.
“It’s because I don’t know how to play cards and got Ms. Palmer into trouble. I’ll take off another article of clothes for her.”
