Chapter 162:
As she traced circles on Gregoryâs chest, she answered the call.
âAs long as you donât hold me back, there wonât be any problems on my end.â
Etta, with her sharp ears, quickly caught on to Lilianaâs suppressed moan and a manâs labored breathing. She felt a sense of relief, believing that Liliana was still under Brixtonâs protection.
âIn a few days, the Sanderson family will reveal Harleeâs identity. We must ruin her reputation beforehand!â Etta said.
Liliana nodded.
âI heard Harlee is handling the whole familyâs attire for the banquet as a gift.â
âDonât worry. Iâll handle the dresses. She wonât have a chance to present them.
As for the banquet, without the dresses, the Sanderson family will have no choice but to postpone it, giving you time to deal with Harlee,â Etta said confidently, her tone steady and reassuring. Liliana felt a sense of relief wash over her.
Earlier, Liliana had overheard a conversation between her father and grandmother in the study. They mentioned that the Juarez familyâs business had suffered a significant blow, causing them to lose billions. If the losses continued, bankruptcy was inevitable. This realization drove Liliana to act swiftly. She needed to leverage Gregoryâs influence to eliminate Harlee and secure her position by marrying into a wealthy family, preserving her carefully crafted image as a pure and innocent young woman.
After ending the call, Liliana began formulating her strategy to deliver Harlee to Gregory.
Her expression hardened with determination.
Gregory, noticing the change in her demeanor, pulled her close, pleased by her intensity. Liliana, aware of his intentions, responded with a passionate embrace.
Step into a new world at gαâηÏνðâsâ¤cøm
After their intimacy, Gregory reached for a cigarette on the bedside table and lit it. Liliana, now distant in thought, gently slid out of his embrace. She swayed her slender waist as she made her way to the bathroom to freshen up. Inwardly, she scoffed at Gregory.
He was utterly useless.
After only a brief encounter, he was already spent.
Compared to Brixton, he was nothing. The thought irritated her, but she reminded herself of Gregoryâs value.
His connections and ability to deal with Harlee made him indispensable. Otherwise, she wouldnât have wasted her time.
She chided herself silently.
After experiencing her first intimate moments with someone as passionate as Brixton, it was no surprise she found anyone else unbearable.
When Liliana returned from the bathroom, feeling refreshed, she approached Gregory. With a confident air, she placed her foot lightly on his stomach.
âYou havenât forgotten your promise, have you?â she asked, her voice low and provocative.
Gregory smirked, his hand sliding up her leg to rest intimately.
He gave a gentle squeeze and replied, âDonât worry. When have I ever let you down? In a few days, Iâll have that woman here.â
Liliana trembled slightly, her cheeks flushing with a delicate blush.
âYouâre so wonderful,â she murmured.
Gregory smiled but said nothing.
He admired Lilianaâs body, and if she asked him to kill someone, he would gladly hand her the knife.
