Chapter 494
“Yes, you are absolutely correct. However, that will only be possible after you have agreed to assist me. I need to reserve my virginity for someone as opulent as Lothar, so I can gain the wealth and recognition I desire. If I become his mistress, it will be beneficial to you as well. If Lothar discovers that you only happened to know about the health of the elderly Mr. Condle and are not a miracle doctor, you could face a horrible death. By helping me, you can have the assurance that I'll help you in return, right?”
Michelle seemed smug as she thought she knew Harold's weakness well.
If Harold is smart enough, he'll definitely agree to my condition. After all, this is beneficial to him.
Michelle figured that Donny was intimidated by Harold because he was close to Lothar.
If I can make a good impression on Lothar and get into his good graces, I should be able to reap the greatest rewards as a woman. By collaborating with Harold, we will have the opportunity to take full advantage of Lothar's influence.
Unfortunately, she was completely wrong in her assumption. It was not Harold who was attempting to ingratiate himself with Lothar, but actually the opposite; Lothar was the one actively trying to curry favor with Harold. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Harold was quite surprised to discover that Michelle was a scheming woman.
At first glance, she looks angelic and beautiful, but beneath the surface lies a devious and merciless soul. She is prepared to do whatever it takes to further her own ambitions, even if it means sacrificing
herself and her best friend.
Harold wondered how he could reveal Michelle's true colors to Luna.
Luna won't believe me if I tell her the truth directly. In fact, Michelle might even turn the tables to accuse me falsely. She can betray her best friend in order to climb out the ranks, so there's no telling what she'll do.
Harold was deep in thought, so Michelle thought he was tempted and was considering her idea.
A smile nudged her lips as she sauntered to him, ready to offer her trump card.
“If you agree, I'll assist you in securing Naomi and Luna to join us. You will have the pleasure of enjoying our company. Even someone with as much wealth and power as Owen was incapable of having all three of us!” Michelle drawled seductively as she helped Harold out of his dirty jacket and threw it into the washing machine.
She spoke in a calm tone, as though betraying her best friends was a trivial matter.
There was no hint of guilt on her face!
When Michelle turned to put his jacket into the washing machine, Harold pulled out his phone and clicked into the voice recording application to record their conversation. He then deliberately asked, “Really? Why don't you go over the benefits I stand to receive? That way, I might consider joining your side.”
Michelle figured he was finally going to cave in to the temptation and repeated her answer patiently.
Harold was pleased as he had recorded her answer.
With that, he declared, “I simply can't bring myself to go against my principles and betray my friends. Naomi is far from being someone I'm attracted to, anyway. She's too spoiled. Even if you somehow convinced her to come to my bed, I still wouldn't sleep with her. You are an unscrupulous woman who will not hesitate to deceive and use your own friends to get what you want, so I'm not at all interested in you. If there is nothing else you wish to say, then I will take my leave now.”
Having said his piece, Harold turned to leave, not even bothering to retrieve his jacket.
Michelle thought her ears were playing tricks on her when she saw Harold's attitude doing a one-eighty. She stood immobile in disbelief, her mouth agape.
When Harold spun on his heel to leave, she belatedly realized her ears weren't deceiving her.
This loser wasn't tempted to help me or become my partner!
As Harold strode out of the bathroom, Michelle ran out after him and yelled hastily, “Hey! If you refuse to help me, I'll open the door and scream that you're a pervert!”
Harold was about to open the door of Michelle's condominium to leave when he suddenly came to an abrupt halt.
“You can try,” he told her as he pulled out his phone to play the recording from earlier.
Hearing her own voice, Michelle blanched in horror and pointed an accusing finger in Harold's
direction. “When did you record that? How can you be this despicable?” she demanded angrily.
Harold chuckled. “Well, I'm not as despicable as you. Did you forget how you attempted to betray your friends? I'm not that close to you.”
