Queen of Wild Cards novel Chapter 528

He completely understood that she was furious and wanted to lash out over Faye's deception, but no matter what, he still felt a sense of responsibility toward the woman.

Stella shot him a sideways glance. "Are you worried I'm going to bully her?"

Julius lowered his voice. "No. I just don't want to be an ungrateful bastard."

Stella watched him, completely stripped of his usual unshakable CEO aura. He must really be terrified of her getting angry.

"Relax, I'm not going to hurt her. I'm bringing you with me when I see her. When we're there, just do exactly as I say. We might just uncover something entirely unexpected. Just follow my lead on this."

"Alright, I'll follow your lead."

If she was bringing him along, it meant she genuinely wanted him to witness something. He'd cooperate and drop the subject.

He immediately made the call to arrange the room.

Once everything was set, the two of them headed to the hotel.

Stella inspected the room upon entering and looked satisfied.

"Call her right now and tell her to come to this room immediately. Then, you're going to hide in that closet. Until I tell you to come out, no matter what you hear, you stay put. Understand?"

"Understood." Whatever she wanted, he would do.

He immediately called the bodyguards and ordered them to bring Faye upstairs.

Hearing that Julius was waiting for her in a room on the floor above, Faye was ecstatic. She threw on what she considered a sexy, gorgeous outfit and obediently followed the bodyguards out.

She arrived at room 1808 and knocked on the door.

At the sound of the knock, Stella gestured for Julius to get in the closet.

Julius obediently squeezed inside. Crouching in the cramped space, he felt completely ridiculous, like he was participating in some cheap stakeout to catch a cheater.

Stella went to open the door.
