The Rejected Principessa Returns novel Chapter 31

Chapter 3

Lily moved at lightning speed.

Before long, the storage room door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Lily entered with two bodyguards, walking briskly.

When she saw the blood at the corner of my mouth, my disheveled clothes, and my crumpled, miserable

state on the floor, she was shocked.

She hurried over and helped me up.

I shook my head, signaling for her to stay quiet, and took the card with the password from her hand, tossing

it at Zoe.

She accepted the card but didn’t continue to press the issue. She waved her hand dismissively.

“If you gave me a fake card, I know plenty of ways to track you down. Get out of here.”

I endured the excruciating pain all over my body, and with Lily’s support, hobbled out of that disgusting place.

When we reached the door, I thanked Lily, “Thanks, Lily. I’ll settle everything soon and pay you back.”

She looked at me worriedly, “It’s no big deal, but what happened to you?”

I chuckled faintly, “My brother found himself a good girlfriend. I think it’s time I had a word with him.”

I took out my phone and dialed the restaurant’s assistant manager.

This assistant manager was the actual one running the place. I had personally brought him in, so he was

loyal to me.

The phone connected, and I didn’t waste time with pleasantries, my voice flat and emotionless.

“You’ve got ten minutes to fire a manager named Zoe Taylor.”

“Otherwise, the Montgomery family will pull out all investments from the restaurant, leaving it with nothing.”

The assistant manager was terrified as soon as he heard my voice.

He probably sensed the weakness and unease in my tone and quickly agreed, not daring to ask why.

I hung up without a second thought, immediately calling a cab to head to the police station.

I explained everything that had happened in the clearest, calmest manner to the officer who received me.

After making a detailed statement at the station, I went to the hospital for a medical examination.

With the thin report in my hand, the anger of betrayal in my chest felt like hot oil pouring onto a fire, only intensifying as it burned.

I needed an explanation.

I needed Blake to give me one, in person.

My assistant had found out Blake was at his own house. With my driver and bodyguard in tow, we headed

straight for Blake’s villa.

That villa was a gift from me to him.

But when I arrived, what greeted me was the deafening sound of heavy metal music.

And through the door and windows, I could hear the raucous sounds of men and women.

He was throwing a party. No wonder he hadn’t answered my call earlier.

The villa door was slightly ajar. For some reason, I didn’t immediately push it open.

Soon, I heard a familiar, tearful voice.

It was Zoe.

She was crying to everyone in the room, painting herself as the victim of an arrogant mistress and being unjustly blamed.

“…I just asked her to settle the bill, and she threw a million in my face, then had me fired…”

“Blake, she’s gone too far. She doesn’t even respect you!”

“She

ts to humiliate me and break us up!”

weather friends in the villa were all chiming in, indignant on Zoe’s behalf.

lake, on the other hand, was loudly comforting Zoe, his voice full of sympathy and affection.

“Zoe, don’t worry. I’ll never allow you to suffer this kind of humiliation!”

Then, as if to prove his resolve, he swore to everyone, “When I catch that woman, I’ll make her kneel and

apologize to you!”

The crowd of rich playboys in the room continued to back Zoe, shouting about how I’d pay the price.

“Blake, just say the word, and my guys will go and hunt her down right now!”

“Exactly! Let her know who’s really in charge here!”

I couldn’t stand it any longer. I raised my hand, and my bodyguard kicked the villa’s door open.

e raucous music stopped instantly. The loud laughter vanished in a heartbeat.

Dozens of stunned eyes all turned toward the door.
