Vincent Carlisle stood in the doorway, steam rising behind him. A towel was wrapped low around his waist, water dripping down his chest. His damp hair clung to his forehead.

He glanced at the coat rack in her hands. Then, in the nightdress, on the couch.

His face darkened.

“You’re still dressed?” His voice turned sharp. “I gave you ten minutes to take those clothes off. If you don’t, I’ll have my men do it for you—and you know I have quite a few.”

Rosalind’s face turned pale.

“Why aren’t you taking off your clothes?!” Vincent demanded, brows furrowing in anger. His gaze roamed her body, and he licked his lips. Just seeing her dressed was already turning him on—and he couldn’t wait to see what was underneath.

“Why would I take them off?” she retorted. “I said I’ll do anything else apart from this.”

A deep frown spread across his face. The towel around his waist barely held, and his cold gaze swept over Rosalind with hunger.

His smile twisted. “You really thought I was bluffing?”

    “How can it be her?” Rosalind whispered, her brows furrowing in disbelief.She couldn’t believe that the person she had once seen as a rival was none other than Ms. Vesper. In that instant, she realized the first impression she had wanted to make was already lost. They had already formed their opinions of each other.Her head snapped toward Sean, who met her gaze with an expressionless face. The indifference only fueled her irritation.Not only had he failed to tell her that his new lover was Ms. Vesper, but he had also allowed her to speak so carelessly in front of her. Now, she was certain Sean was still bitter about the divorce and was letting her walk straight into humiliation as payback.Sean only shrugged slightly and turned his head away, fully aware of what Rosalind was thinking. He had no intention of letting her pin the blame on him for something beyond his control. After all, she had chosen to say what she did, and he had no part in it.Seeing that Sean had dismissed her, R

    For a moment, silence reigned. Their expressions froze in collective disbelief, eyes darting between one another as if hoping someone else would confirm what they had just heard.Rosalind’s gaze faltered as she stared at Abrill, waiting for her to laugh it off as a joke. But Abrill wore a look of confidence that only deepened Rosalind’s confusion. She raised her head to glance at Sean, but his expression was unreadable, giving no hint as to whether Abrill was lying or not.More than that, he didn’t even seem to be paying attention; his gaze was elsewhere, detached from their heated exchange.Then, as if on cue, they all erupted.“Don’t be ridiculous!” Lillian exclaimed, shaking her head furiously. “That’s impossible!”“Do you think we’re fools?” Jullian snarled, his face twisted with scorn. “Stop lying! Do you even know what kind of person Ms. Vesper is supposed to be?”Even Rosalind, who had wavered in suspicion a moment earlier, stepped forward with a sharp, disdainful laugh. For a

    Though Nate was waiting for a reaction from Sean, Sean only looked away, as if he couldn’t care less about what Nate was trying to pull.“The main event will be starting soon since Ms. Vesper is here,” Sean said flatly. “Are you going to keep showing her this performance?”At those words, everyone immediately turned their heads toward the door, expecting to see a woman walk in. Rosalind panicked and whipped around, but when she saw no one there, she quickly snapped her head back to Sean.Realizing she’d been tricked, irritation flashed across her face, her brows knitting tightly.Rosalind’s voice sliced the air. “Why do you have to play around with something like that?!” she snapped.“You think this is a joke?” Jullian barked. “Do you realize how serious this is? Don’t throw names like hers around carelessly!”“Exactly,” Lillian chimed in, glaring at Sean. “How can you say Ms. Vesper is here, acting like you know what you’re talking about? Are you trying to stir chaos?”Abrill’s eyes

    Sean had no idea things would escalate like this. If he’d known the conversation with the siblings would take this turn, he wouldn’t have bothered responding to them at all. The event was already underway, and it was almost time for Abrill to be called onto the stage. The last thing he wanted was for her to be caught up in this nonsense. His jaw clenched. Now Rosalind was getting involved, and to make matters worse, Nate was approaching with another man walking beside him. Sean was certain now that whatever time he’d planned to use to relax at this event was about to be completely wasted. “You can go ahead with the event,” he told Abrill. She turned her head toward him and shook it. “No. I want to stay here and see what’s happening.” Her eyes twinkled with curiosity, and he sighed. “Okay.” Rosalind reached them just then, her gaze landing on her brother and sister. Both immediately moved toward her, confusion written across their faces. “Are you friends with her?” Lillian ask
