Florence stormed back to her place. Digging through her purse, she found her emergency meds and let out a yell.

Matilda pushed the door open and saw Florence shoving all the cosmetics on the dressing table to the floor. “Flore, what’s wrong?”

In tears, with her makeup smeared, Florence looked a wreck, “Mom, how could Stephie do this? I went to her out of worry, and she just blow me off. Then she made Lucianna think I was bad news, and Lucianna with her AIDS scratched me. Now I gotta take meds so I don’t catch it!”

Matilda was shocked. “That b**h! I should have killed her!” Matilda held Florence’s hand and comforted her, “Don’t cry, Flore. If you get sick, I’ll make her pay! Now calm down. You’ve got heart trouble. What if you got worse?”

ed her tears. “Mom, the doctor said that my heart is showing signs of failure. Will I die?”

Florence wiped her

Matilda’s eyes sparkled. “Of course not. I won’t let you die.”

In Paradise Club, within a private room shrouded in smoke, men and women were having group sex.

A woman sat on Douglas lap, feeding him alcohol with her mouth, and then kissed him passionately. The woman kissed down to his neck and unbuttoned his belt. What flashed through Douglas’ mind was Stephanie’s pretty face, He grabbed the woman’s hair.

But after a long time, his lower body had no response.

The woman looked up at him with doubt and contempt.

Douglas also noticed his abnormality. He pushed the woman away and said, “Get lost! You can’t even do your job right!” He stood up angrily, zipped his pants, and left the room.

The others were confused and asked the woman, “What’s wrong with Mr. Fletcher?”

The woman merely said Douglas might be in a bad mood. However, she sneered internally. Not my fault if you can’t get a b o n e r!

Douglas sat in the car and smoked while wondering, “What’s wrong with me? This is too humiliating!”

Suddenly, he remembered Summer said he had problems with sex, and his illness had reached the second stage. He wondered, ‘Is there really something wrong with me? No. She must’ve done something with acupuncture!”

Thinking of this, Douglas gaze became more malicious. He took out his phone and dialed a number. “I want to find Dr. Summer.”

“Mr. Fletcher, I want to help, but she’s off the radar unless she opts to show up herself,” the receiver said.

Douglas asked, “You can’t find her with your skill?”

The receiver said, “No. They have a strong firewall. I’m guessing Hacker Yern or Hacker Flash made it,”

Douglas frowned, “Then find these two hackers. I must find Dr. Summer.”

“I’ll try but no promises,” that person replied.

Douglas wore a sullen expression. “Money doesn’t matter.”

After hanging up the phone, Douglas spoke through gritted teeth. “I will kill her after she finishes treating me!”

Chapter 35

The next morning, Stephanie rolled over and rubbed her eyes. She slept in Vincent’s bedroom, but he was not beside her.

Then, she sat up and looked down, only to find that she had changed into a nightgown.

When she spotted her handbag on the couch, she got out of bed and grabbed her phone. Vincent had sent her a message saying he had gone to the

company

She smiled and texted him: [Did you change me into the nightgown?]

Vincent replied quickly: [No.]

Stephanie: [Oh, I thought you changed it for me. Have you had breakfast?]

Vincent: [Yes. Why don’t you sleep a little longer?

Stephanie glanced at the ruined gown on the couch and asked: [When did my gown fall apart?)

Vincent pursed his lips and recalled the naked view. He typed: [Probably when the housekeeper changed your clothes.]

Stephanie finally felt relieved, knowing that she had not made a fool of herself in front of Vincent. She replied: I’ll go to Coco Styling Studio to deal with the gown later]

Vincent: [‘ll go with you.]

Stephanie did not want to bother Vincent with such a trivial matter, so she typed: [Don’t worry. I’ll take Willow with me. By the way, did I say or do anything last night?]

Looking at the message, Vincent swallowed unconsciously. Last night, when he changed her nightgown, his hands wandered all over her. Her skin was tanned and delicate. He still remembered the sensation.

Stephanie also clung to him like an octopus and ran her hands all over him. “Vincent, your abdominal muscles are so smooth! I have them too. Here, touch them!” Then she said, “Oh, you touched my boobs. You are so annoying! You touched the wrong place!”

Safe to say, Vincent was aroused throughout the night.

He replied: No, you were quiet.

Hearing this, Stephanie ruffled her hair. Julianna remarked that she was a clingy drunk.

Therefore, Vincent must have meant she had been very restless last night.

light. She took a deep breath and decided to play dumb.

After washing her face and brushing her teeth, Stephanie went to check on Christina. It would not be long before Christina woke up.

While having breakfast, Stephanie called Willow.

Half

an hour later, the duo arrived at a styling studio.

Meanwhile, Coco and Olivia sat on a couch in the styling studio. Coco asked, “How was last night? Did that woman make a fool of herself?”

Olivia shook her head. “She didn’t embarrass herself and even stood out positively.”

Then she relayed all that happened the night before.

Coco was surprised. “She exposed and humiliated Florence? She’s a tough nut. Olivia, you’re in trouble!”

Olivia narrowed her eyes. “Indeed, but I didn’t expect Stephanie to be a designer at Starlight Design Studio. She is as famous as Star. What happened last night might get you into trouble.”

Coco was stunned. “What? She is a designer at Starlight Design Studio?”

Olivia nodded.

Coco was in a panic, If Stephanie discovered the flaw, she would certainly come to settle the score.

Noticing Coco’s gloomy expression, Olivia comforted her, “Nothing happened at the party, so I don’t think she noticed.”

Coco nodded uneasily. “I hope so.”

As soon as she spoke, her assistant ran over and reported, “Coco, the woman who came for styling yesterday is here.”

Coco was nervous. Olivia patted her shoulder. “I’ll go

with you.

su. Maybe she’ll do me a favor”

When they moved to the lobby, they saw Stephanie and Willow on the couch,

Coco stepped forward and smiled. “Welcome, Ms. Hayes.”

Stephanie took the gown out of the bag and threw it to Coco. “What happened to the zipper?”

“What’s wrong with the zipper?” Coco asked.

Stephanie chuckled. “If I hadn’t found it in time yesterday, my gown would have fallen in public. Shouldn’t you explain?”.
