Let Me Stay The Night

Victoria had long disliked Melanie, and when she heard Melanie yelling at Christina, the anger she had barely suppressed flared up again.

“Watch your tone, Melanie.” Victoria swung her fist at the other woman as a warning. “Or do you want another beating?”

Having experienced Victoria’s wrath, Melanie shivered involuntarily as she huddled in the corner of the couch with a blanket around her.

Christina broke the tense atmosphere. Compared to Victoria’s rough methods, Christina preferred to use non-confrontational methods.

“I have given you a few days to think. You should have figured out why I had someone lock you up.” Christina smiled lightly, but her gaze was ice-cold. “I want to know why you suddenly changed your mind and decided to cause trouble for Sebastian.”

Melanie sniffled arrogantly. “If I tell you, will you act as if nothing happened and let me go?”

Victoria sneered. “Have you ever seen a mistress with a happy ending?”

“I told you, my relationship with Mr. Taggart is consensual. Since I’m not forcing him to take any responsibility for me. I’m technically not his mistress, Melanie retorted fearfully.

Hearing this, Victoria exploded in anger. “Nonsense! Sebastian clearly doesn’t know you. You used despicable means to manipulate him. Consensual relationship? Bullsh*t! Are you not ashamed of what you said?”

Besides being Victoria’s rival, Melanie was nothing more than a shameless woman trying to get into bed with Sebastian. In the face of such a vixen. Victoria’s years of good upbringing collapsed at this moment.

If it weren’t for Christina watching by the side, Melanie wouldn’t have been so lucky. She wouldn’t be able to taunt Victoria while wrapped in a blanket and enjoying the warmth..
