My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 866:

Eaglewood—that explained the sweet fragrance with its subtle cooling undertone. The scent reminded her distinctly of the aroma Kristopher often carried with him.

Carrie continued following the waiter, unaware that in one of the private rooms, the door remained slightly ajar. Behind it, a lecherous eye tracked her movement, following her figure from her chest down to her hips.

“Damn, that body is a work of art,” a man muttered under his breath, licking his lips and swallowing hard.

A slender hand suddenly extended and forced the door shut. Aliza’s features contracted into a frown as she admonished,

“You’ll get your chance later. Don’t compromise our plans by acting prematurely!”

Another man hastily approached, bowing with exaggerated deference.

“I’m sorry, Miss Herrera. We’re merely inexperienced individuals who’ve rarely encountered such an exceptional woman.”

As he delivered this apology, he struck the man who had spoken inappropriately, adding,

“If you undermine Miss Herrera’s plans, don’t expect me to intervene on your behalf!”

In reality, they stood at a sufficient distance that Carrie couldn’t possibly have heard their conversation.

Nevertheless, Aliza couldn’t tolerate hearing anyone praise Carrie, even coming from these hired thugs.

Aliza’s gaze remained fixed on the closed door, as though she possessed the ability to visualize Carrie’s presence in the hallway despite the solid barrier between them.

The restaurant existed as part of a larger shopping complex rather than a standalone establishment. Its service elevator connected strategically to the hotel located on the upper floors, creating an almost purpose-built route for discreet movement between venues.

It seemed as though fate had orchestrated this opportunity perfectly. One of Carrie’s sponsors maintained a business relationship with Aliza’s father and had mentioned tonight’s contract signing during a recent dinner conversation.noveldrama

Crossing her arms deliberately, Aliza’s lips curled into a calculating smile that revealed the malevolence behind her seemingly placid expression.

She savored the thought of what would become of the Morrison family’s vaunted pride once their cherished princess suffered violation at the hands of hired criminals. She wondered if the Webster family would still welcome such a woman into their household after such an incident.

The next day, Carrie assumed Camille’s responsibility of signing the contract with the sponsors.

Rather than conducting business at their corporate headquarters, the sponsors had reserved a table at an upscale restaurant and extended a dinner invitation to her.

Carrie contemplated this arrangement carefully. The previous evening, Camille had encountered difficulties following a business dinner, yet according to Camille’s own assessment, these particular sponsors consistently demonstrated politeness toward women and refrained from inappropriate conduct.

After considering this, Carrie decided not to overthink the situation and accepted the invitation.
