Chapter 4

Lena POV

"Lena!"

Kai's voice cracked as he shouted, cold sweat dripping down his forehead in beads.

He knew better than anyone that once this footage got out, his carefully built image of the "devoted fiancé" and "business prodigy" would come crashing down.

"Smash the cameras! Now!"

He ordered the reporters.

The reporters exchanged glances with each other. No one paid him any attention. Instead, they photographed even more enthusiastically.

Someone even shoved their lens at Serena's exposed shoulder, where there was an obvious bite mark.

"You two were quite passionate last night."

I clapped my hands and turned to the people behind me.

"Did you all get clear shots? I've even thought of the headline for you-'Lancaster Heir Caught with Cold Beauty in Night Tryst, Heiress Betrayed.'"

"This kind of explosive headline should dominate for three days, right?"

"Lena! I'll kill you!"

Kai's eyes turned bloodshot as he tried to rush off the bed and grab me.

But as soon as he moved, he realized he wasn't wearing clothes and awkwardly shrank back under the blanket.

That look of fury yet helplessness was truly spectacular.

I looked at him coldly, like looking at a dog.

"Kill me? As if you're worthy."

I pulled out a document from my bag and threw it in his face.

The sharp A4 paper sliced across his nose bridge, leaving a red mark.

"This is a termination letter. Kai, you've been fired from the company."

"And this is the marriage annulment statement."

"From today on, you're no longer with the company. You're just a faithless, worthless gigolo who climbed up by using a woman."

Kai froze.

He stared at the document, his hands trembling.

The only reason he could swagger around in business circles was because the Lancaster family backed him.

Without the Lancaster family, he was just a pretty boy with no money.

"You can't do this..."

His voice finally carried a trace of panic.

"Lena, last night was an accident! I was controlled by drugs! I only have you in my heart! You know that. Serena and I only have sibling feelings!"

"Siblings?"

I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

I pointed at Serena cowering in his arms.

"What kind of siblings roll around in bed like this? What, were you two researching human anatomy?"

Serena finally couldn't take it anymore.

She poked her head out, tears streaming down, putting on a victim's act.

"Miss Lancaster, do you have to be so harsh? Kai and I are pure soulmates. Last night... last night was to save him..."

"Save him?"

I interrupted her.

"How? Using your body as the antidote? Miss Serena is truly kind."

Laughter erupted around us.

Serena's face turned the color of liver. Her usual cold-and-proud mask shattered completely.

"Enough. Stop the act."

I didn't want to look at these two dogs anymore. I turned to leave.

"You have ten minutes to get dressed and get out. I'm checking out of this room. It's filthy."

At the door, I stopped and delivered one more blow.

"Oh, right, Kai. Remember to pay the room fee. Even though you live off me, you should at least have money for a hotel room, right? Don't make your precious lover foot the bill."
