Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1715

It was Steve. Though Sylvia had ruthlessly kicked him out of the farmhouse, he had discovered she had canceled her flight to the Capital and stayed in Seaview. Since she had not left, he had not returned to the Capital either. He had followed her all the way to this smoky, chaotic nightclub.

He had been sitting in the shadows, coldly watching her be treated like royalty by those men, watching her down drinks of questionable origin. He had fully intended to be cruel and leave her to her own devices, to let this foolish, ungrateful woman suffer a harsh lesson and learn from her mistakes.

But the moment he saw her slump down in front of him, her body completely limp and her face flushed deep red, his grip on his glass involuntarily tightened. A dark violence surged in his eyes. He was just about to stand up when the two culprits who had been secretly watching her beat him to it.

The two women grabbed Sylvia by the arms, dragging her limp body upward.

"Oh my goodness, Ms. Moore, what is wrong? Are you drunk?"

"Everyone is still waiting for you over there. Come on, let us go back!"

Ignoring her weak struggles, they half-dragged, half-carried her back toward the group of single men.

The woman flinched violently at the terrifying intensity in her eyes, wrenching her hand away. Raising her voice to mask her guilt, she stuttered out a defense. "W-what nonsense are you talking about! You are the one who cannot hold your liquor and got yourself drunk. How are you blaming this on me? You look completely wasted. Let me do you a favor and get a couple of the guys to take you to a hotel to rest!"

She shot a pointed look at the men nearby, signaling them to make their move. Two of them, emboldened by lust, rubbed their hands together and stepped forward to grab her.

"Do not touch me!" Sylvia screamed, her voice trembling from the drug but laced with a desperate, suicidal ferocity. Panting heavily, her razor-sharp gaze swept over the room.
