Chapter 238 The bait

Auteur: Ela Osaretin
"You're really sure about betting with me?" Amelia asked, pretending to hesitate. "I'll give you one last chance to back out."

She knew exactly what she was doing. The more she phrased it this way, the more likely they were to take the bait.

"We're in!" all five of them said together, not even a moment's doubt.

Just like Amelia had expected. She slowly swirled her wine glass, the tiniest smirk curling at the edge of her lips. Real hunters didn't show their claws right away. They played with the

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 374 Led somewhere

    "Hey!" Eve exclaimed, startled, her hand instinctively flying to clutch her mask.“Damian! Why are you taking my mask?" Eve had planned to wear the mask later and invite a wealthy young man to dance with her. Who could say? Perhaps it might have led somewhere.“Let me borrow it for a while," Damian replied in a low, deliberate tone. Every mask had already been taken, and he had no idea where he could possibly find another.“What on earth do you need a mask for? Are you…" Eve’s words trailed off as a sudden thought struck her. Her eyes narrowed. "You're not actually thinking of joining those men to vie for Amelia’s attention, are you?"Damian said nothing, which only deepened Eve’s irritation.“Damian, Sophia is right here! How can you even think about running after another woman? What does that make her look like? Are you being fair to her?" Eve’s gaze burned with indignation as she clutched the mask tighter, refusing to let go.Sophia’s eyes shone with unshed tears, her voice tremblin

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 373 Without warning

    Then, without warning, another figure burst onto the scene, leaping into view and sweeping onto the floor to join the fray.A sharp intake of breath swept through the crowd, freezing their expressions in stunned disbelief, as if the very air had turned to ice.It was already a spectacle when three men vied for the attention of one woman, but now, with four, the scene bordered on the surreal.As those figures moved across the dance floor, the guests stared in astonishment, jaws slack in disbelief. It took them a moment to snap back to reality.“This is incredible! How does that woman command such attention? Who exactly is she?"“I almost pity Mr. Sullivan, being the only one without a mask. And he has to fend off three men."“The man in the dark purple suit, could that be Desmond? If I recall correctly, he was dressed in that very shade tonight."“Wow! Here's a thought. Could it be that all of them chose purple suits to match the woman's evening gown?"“No chance! That must be a coincid

    Beside her, Emily narrowed her eyes, studying the masked man. "It's not Desmond, nor my brother."Viola nodded. "That’s right. But where did this rival spring from? Winning Amelia’s heart isn't easy, she's exceptional, and admirers chase her everywhere. Lucas has some fierce competition."“Let's wait and see. It's not over yet," Emily whispered, her fists curling slightly. The man in the clown mask moved like he was dancing, yet every step seemed like a fight to pull Amelia away from Lucas.Lucas’ expression was like stone. He kept dancing while fending off the masked man.Something about the masked man gave off a dangerous air, setting Lucas on edge. There was no way he would let another man take Amelia from him.Under the mask, Amelia’s brows drew together. She quickly guessed who the masked man was, Terrence.His black pupils might have fooled others, but she knew his aggressive aura too well. He must have been wearing colored contact lenses; his real eyes were blue. Even with only

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 371 Across his knuckles

    Capture Lucas’ attention? Impossible!Lucas would never take Amelia onto the dance floor.Damian’s stare locked onto Amelia, his grip on the wine glass tightening until the skin across his knuckles blanched.The crowd's expressions were a blend of longing, malice, and covetousness. Several high-society women shared Eve’s sentiment. They imagined Lucas had shifted his preferences, now seeking female company, which allowed those two daring women to claim their moment.Convinced that Lucas had agreed to dance with her, Lorraine felt a rush of elation, nearly breaking into an unrestrained grin beneath the silver mask.If she secured Lucas’ interest, what weight would Desmond carry? In heritage, looks, physique, and business acumen, Lucas was unmatched.Lorraine let her mind drift to her imaginary future life. With Lucas enchanted by her, she wouldn't need to tolerate Xavier’s disapproval or pursue the aloof Desmond. She could crush anyone who dared treat her with disdain, as if grinding a

    Sophia feigned surprise. "Isn't that Amelia? Could it be she's trying to invite Mr. Sullivan to dance? How could she be so bold? Doesn't she know Mr. Sullivan despises women who dare to covet any sort of contact with him?"Feigning anxiety, Sophia lightly tugged at Damian sleeve. "Damian, what should we do? If Amelia keeps this up, Mr. Sullivan will have her thrown out."Damian’s irritation flared, her voice, usually sweet and coy, now grated on his ears like a harsh scrape.“Ha!" Eve sneered. "If she gets thrown out, all the better, let's see how she dares to force her way into high society after that disgrace. Everyone knows Mr. Sullivan loathes physical contact, if she insists on courting ruin, she has no one to blame but herself."Damian’s brows drew together as he chided in a low voice, "Eve, don't talk nonsense."“I didn't say anything wrong!" Eve snapped back immediately. She suppressed her temper and leaned in, lowering her voice to a conspiratorial whisper. "Wouldn't it be sat

  • My Horrible Ex-Husband Can't Move On, But I Can   Chapter 369 Public humiliation

    “You will invite Mr. Sullivan to dance," Lorraine replied. "If he turns you down, you must leave the banquet immediately. But if he accepts, I'll be the one to leave."Inwardly, Lorraine was smirking. She had secured the safer, passive seat of this wager, while Amelia would have to risk walking alone into the jaws of public humiliation.Given Lucas’ cool, untouchable air, Lorraine believed there wasn't the faintest chance Amelia could win. Until now, not a single woman had coaxed Lucas onto the dance floor; every attempt had met with polite dismissal. Even Vickie, practically raised by the Sullivan family, had failed. To this day, no one had ever seen Lucas dance with anyone.“No," Amelia answered, her lips curving faintly, "Not unless you come with me. Whoever succeeds wins. But if neither of us manages it, I'll admit defeat."Lorraine hesitated, the thought of joining Amelia clearly distasteful. Yet, if she refused, Amelia wouldn't agree to the challenge. After a brief inner debate,

    Carla’s face went pale as death, and she stumbled backward like Amelia had just pulled a gun on her. "W-why the hell should I go up there?"Deep down, Carla knew the truth. She didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell against Amelia. Getting in that ring would be like signing her own death warrant.

    Amelia raised an eyebrow. "What kind of bet?"Cassie shot her brother a look. "Kole, you're the racing ace, right? Challenge her to a race."Kole rubbed his chin, a dirty smile spreading across his face. "Hell yeah, that's perfect!" A woman racing him? Please. She was doomed to lose.When Emily hear
