The Coldest Man in the Room Melted Only for Me novel Chapter 453

Pierce smiled casually. "It was just a passing thought. Don't take it too seriously." He glanced down at the contract on the table. "Are we still signing this?"

Victoria knew a man like Pierce wouldn't drop a hint like that out of nowhere. But the idea of a ruthlessly cold man like Sebastian actually loving someone was downright terrifying!

If it was true, however, his bizarre behavior last night made perfect sense.

He had blocked her from entering the room because he didn't want her to see his lover. He had even gone so far as to use Eleanor as a distraction to protect the woman.

That woman had to have been on the second floor last night. Who could it be?

If it wasn't Winona, the only other person was Riley. But it couldn't possibly be Riley. She was Pierce's ex-wife—a divorced woman with a child. There was no way a man like Sebastian would look twice at someone like her.

Was there a third woman on the second floor last night?

Did Sebastian sneak her out after Eleanor intercepted Victoria?

That had to be it. For years, Sebastian had been an impenetrable fortress, leaving her with no angle of attack. If she could find this woman, she would have her hands wrapped firmly around his weakness. Taking him down would be effortless.

Realizing this, Victoria smiled brightly. "Sign? Of course we're signing."

Even though Pierce hadn't revealed the woman's name, he was greedy, and he operated inside Sebastian's inner circle. There was a good chance she could buy more secrets from him in the future.

As Riley was leaving work, she received a call from Eleanor. "Riley, I heard about the scare you and Winona had last night. It was a failure of the St. John family's hospitality. Come have dinner at the estate tonight. I need to see you with my own eyes to know you're alright. I've already invited Winona."

Riley hadn't expected the incident to reach Eleanor's ears. "I'm perfectly fine now. Please don't worry about me."

"Glad to hear it. Bring Alora with you. Just bring yourselves—no gifts. If you buy me anything, I'll be very upset."
