Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1717

Her usually elegant face was now burning a furious red. Sweat plastered more of her hair against her cheeks and elegant neck.

"So hot..." she murmured unconsciously, her hand reaching up to tug at the collar of her sweater. Her pale, delicate collarbones were entirely exposed to the air as she pulled at the fabric. In the dim, hypnotic lighting of the booth, the vivid, alluring sight was enough to test the absolute limits of any man's self-control.

Steve narrowed his eyes. His Adam's apple bobbed uncontrollably, and his gaze instantly darkened with a highly aggressive, predatory hunger.

"Damn it." He swore under his breath, grabbing his black overcoat from the seat beside him. He strode toward the booth with long, purposeful steps.

At that exact moment, the class president returned from making a fool of himself on the dance floor. Catching sight of Sylvia's disheveled clothing and deeply flushed face, his eyes went wide with shock. "What the hell! What is wrong with Ms. Moore? How did she get this drunk?"

He was just reaching out to help her when a heavy black overcoat suddenly flew through the air. The coat landed perfectly over Sylvia's head, completely covering her scandalous state. The class president jumped back, startled. Before he could process what was happening, Steve stepped into the light. Radiating a freezing, unapproachable aura, Steve bypassed the bewildered men and marched straight to Sylvia's side. He grabbed her wandering hands, pinning them under the coat, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.

"You stupid woman!" he hissed, his voice trembling with suppressed fury. "It is me!"

Seeing a complete stranger suddenly try to walk away with Sylvia, the class president's face changed. He immediately stepped in front of Steve, blocking his path. "Stop right there! Who the hell are you? What do you think you are doing?"

Steve stopped and glanced at him. His eyes were so dark they looked like endless voids, radiating a blatant, terrifying hostility. His gaze swept over everyone at the table like a sharpened blade. "I am her boyfriend, and I am also a lawyer. I have memorized the faces of every single person here today." Steve smirked, a chilling, dead-eyed smile. "After this, I will be filing a lawsuit against all of you for attempted drug-facilitated sexual assault."

The words sobered the class president up immediately. "Y-you stop spitting poison! On what grounds are you suing us? We did not do anything! Besides, Ms. Moore just said she was single. Where did a boyfriend suddenly pop up from?" He pointed a warning finger at Steve. "I am warning you. Put Sylvia down right now, or we are calling the cops to have you arrested!"
