Chapter 309 Satisfaction

“What are you doing?! Put me down!”

“Testing the effectiveness of the oyster shooters.”

Chloe was shocked motionless, as if lightning had struck her, unable to move a muscle.

Joseph tossed her onto the bed and pinned his entire body against hers, smothering her with an

onslaught of relentless kisses.

Shaking off her initial stupor, Chloe swiftly regained her senses, clutching her clothes protectively,

refusing to let him advance any further. “No, don’t do this…”

“It’s too late.”

Chloe turned her face away, nibbling on her rosy lips. “It was my fault. I shouldn’t have provoked you.

Please, let’s not do this… Please?” She reluctantly admitted to having cold feet now, and she regretted

ever making him the oyster shooters.

“No… Please don’t do this…”

A few hours later, it was finally over.

Chloe retreated to the kitchen, seeking solace in the familiar embrace of cooking. She transformed her

anger into a driving force, channeling it into the swift preparation of six

delectable dishes.

Outside the villa, a car came to a halt in the yard, and Gabriel Bennet sauntered in, his attention

immediately drawn to Chloe. His eyes held a flicker of amusement as he lowered his head, indulging in

a leisurely drag of his cigarette. Unabashedly, his gaze roamed over every inch of her form, from head

to toe, as if he was assessing her value like a mere commodity—a possession to be appraised.

Chloe furrowed her brows, expressing her clear displeasure. His penetrating gaze unsettled her, and

she found herself instinctively disliking his appearance. With his androgynous features, an unnaturally

fair complexion that surpassed most women, and the unsettling intensity in his slender eyes, he

emanated an aura of sinister intentions, leaving her with a strong sense that he was not to be trusted.
