I got married without you (James and Amelia) novel Chapter 17

Amelia’s expression froze.
Paul was wearing a suit, so he could take off his jacket and still have a whit e shirt on, but if Amelia took off a piece of clothing, she would be left with nothing on.
She lifted her gaze to the crowd, everyone’s eyes were on her expectantly, and she felt like an animal being scrutinized by a group of powerful and wealthy young people.
Even Kevin stared at her, waiting for her to take off her dress.
Amelia knew that complying with their demand would mean sacrificing her dignity, but resisting would only make it harder for her to leave this private room. She felt trapped and helpless, her fists clenched with frustration.
But she was about to di e in a few months, why would she still hold onto her dignity and reputation?
Just as Amelia was about to give in and start unzipping her dress, Paul’s voice interrupted the tense silence.
“It’s because I don’t know how to play cards and got Ms. Garcia into trouble. I will take off one more clothes for her.”
After saying that, Paul removed his w hite shirt, revealing hist abs.
Seeing that Paul was protecting Amelia, Kayla became even more dissatisfied with Amelia.
She gritted her teeth and shot a glare toward Amelia, who avoided her gaze and looked at Paul gratefully. “Thank you.”
Paul waved his hand lightly.
Just as everyone thought this game was over, James, leaning against the sofa and looking cold and distant, suddenly spoke up in a cold tone, “You have to abide by the rules of the game.”
His words suggested that he was dissatisfied with Paul taking off his clothes for Amelia.
Paul glanced at James and felt that he was a bit strange tonight. He knew Amelia was only wearing a dress. If she took it off, she would have to be nake d. He had never been lustful, so why did he have to force her to remove her clothes?
Paul found himself in a state of confusion, but he had already committed to helping Amelia, he said, “James, I already took off my clothes for me, let’s change another punishment, don’t make her do the same one.”
