Chapter 922

Chapter 922 I Don’t Like Prostitutes Smelling the pungent perfume in the air, Nicholas instantly turned grim, and he was obviously infuriated by Eunice. He stood upright without moving and was radiating hostility at the same time, which could be too overwhelming for others to the point that it made people feel suffocated. However, the tactless Eunice was unaware of it and continued to tempt him.

“Mr. Sawyer, you’re not at Xerthania, so you don’t have to be this uptight. Let’s have some fun. Having fun is the most important thing, isn’t it?” She then raised her gaze and looked at Nicholas with infatuation and continued to tempt him. “Of course, you don’t have to worry that Tessa would find out about it as long as both of us keep our mouths shut. That way, you’ll still be her loyal husband when you get home.”

Hearing that, Nicholas glared at her with a scowl on his face. Edward, who was standing next to him, got the chills and could feel his temple twitch. At that moment, he really hoped that he could grow wings on his back and fly away from the danger zone that he was in, as Nicholas could be terrifying when he got angry…

He glanced over at the enraged Nicholas as he took a few steps back. “Would this do? I should be safe if I stand here,” he mumbled as he evaluated the distance between himself and Nicholas before finally stopping his footsteps when he felt that he was a safe distance away from Nicholas. After standing still, he turned his attention back to Nicholas and Eunice.

Meanwhile, Nicholas had distanced himself from Eunice, and following that, he took a handkerchief out of his pocket and started examining his shirt before wiping something filthy off it.

He wasn’t sure whether it was just all in his head, but he felt that he couldn’t get rid of Eunice’s disgusting scent no matter how he wiped his shirt. In the end, he rather gave up on saving the coat and threw it along with the handkerchief into the trash can. It was apparent that he was disgusted by her.

Seeing that made Eunice mad, as his actions were a slap in her face. At that same time, her desire to conquer him had become stronger. She vowed to take down this man and make sure that he was captivated by her in order to redeem herself after being shamed by him earlier on!

“Mr. Sawyer, you’re killing the fun by just holding it out.” She suppressed her anger and looked at Nicholas with a smile before adding, “We are both adults, aren’t we?”

Upon hearing that, he glared at her as he could tell what her intentions were. “Firstly, I respected and tolerated you because you are my wife’s senior. However, you’ve crossed the line, which is why I should make things clear with you,” he said before pausing briefly, and he couldn’t hide his disgust toward her. “I don’t like prostitutes, so it wouldn’t work even if you tried to seduce me. I hope that you can have more self-respect and not embarrass yourself in front of me.”

His words startled Eunice because she hadn’t been scolded right in her face before, and it took her a while to make sense of the situation. “Who is the prostitute that you’re referring to?” she snapped at him.

Although Nicholas didn’t answer her, she could tell who he was referring to from his expression.

She was exasperated after she understood what he meant and growled, “You should be honored that I fancy you. Who are you to look down on me and insult me like that?”

Nicholas had had enough after hearing what she said while he had a glowering look on his face. Even though Edward was standing far away from him, he could feel Nicholas’ wrath which made him tremble. Edward hadn’t seen him get that furious in a long time. He was impressed at how clueless Eunice was about Nicholas’ feelings and kept provoking Nicholas.

Edward just wished that Nicholas would lash out his anger at her so that he could calm down and not implicate others in the process. Of course, Eunice didn’t know about Edward’s thoughts, but she was unfazed by how furious Nicholas seemed, as she was infuriated after being insulted by him.
