Chapter 1024


    Evelyn''s gaze was fixated on the man''s retreating figure as he slipped into a room. The door was left


    ajar; he seemed to have forgotten to shut it.


    His silhouette vanished from Evelyn''s sight, snapping her out of her trance. She turned on her heel and


    continued down the hallway in search of room 2809.


    She hadn''t taken more than a few steps when amotion erupted behind her. ncing back, she


    saw a woman in a garish outfit stumbling out of a room — directly opposite to the one the man had


    entered.


    The woman''s attire was both shy and seductive, her nervousness betraying her as her breast tapes


    almost fell. She was quite the sight, with her breasts practically on disy.


    Evelyn recognized her instantly despite theyered make up.


    It was Susan! She was Bruce and Lucy''s daughter, who hade to Evelyn''s ce with her mother, all


    high and mighty, to pick a fight!


    Evelyn was truly enraged as she saw her.


    She was about to confront her, ready to settle old scores.


    Before she could approach, Susan, flushed and panting, clutched the hem of her dress and darted into


    the room opposite — the very same one the man had entered.


    Susan was desperate to soothe her physical urges with a man. But Lysander, not only cast her out but


    also kicked her brutally. Her soul felt as though it might split from the pain.


    If she couldn''t have Lysander, she would settle for Joshua!


    This man was Lysander''s business partner, so he surely would not beck in wealth or power. Despite


    being older, he was easy on the eyes.


    Seizing Joshua wouldn''t be a loss for her.


    Without hesitation, Susan entered Joshua''s room.


    Evelyn froze and was shocked as she watched Susan slip into the room.


    What was Susan doing in there with that man? Could it be that she was...


    Evelyn crept closer and craned her neck to catch a glimpse inside the room.


    But she couldn''t see anything with the entryway blocking the view.


    "Mr. Joshua, you''re drunk. Please let me take care of you." Susan''s voice echoed from within, sultry


    and feigned weakness. "I''m very good at taking care... in all sorts of positions..."


    Evelyn''s skin crawled, and a wave of revulsion chilled her to the bone. She straightened up quickly and


    distanced herself from the room.


    How astounded and incredulous — Susan was doing that with this man!


    Just like her father, utterly shameless!


    Evelyn''s breath was ragged, her chest tight with indignation. She had never imagined that this man

    could be so vile!


    Angrily, she nced at the room number. It was 2806!


    She looked back at the room Susan had emerged from in disarray. It was 2809!


    Wasn''t Thssa supposed to be in 2809?


    That was the room she was searching for.


    The door was open; Evelyn walked straight in and began, "Excuse me, is this where..."


    "Get out!" An explosive growl, seething with anger and intimidation, struck her ears like the roar of a


    lion.


    Evelyn recoiled. Her mind reeled as she bolted toward the elevator, and her heart pounded with fear.


    Thankful she could recognize the voice as a man''s — and as Lysander''s; otherwise, she might have


    thought there was a beast ready to devour her lurking in that room.


    She stepped into the elevator and frantically pressed the close button as if a single second''s dy


    would cost her life.


    As the doors slid shut. Evelyn pressed the button for the ground floor and patted her chest to quell the


    adrenaline.


    Was Lysander also in 2809? Could Thssa be with him?


    Then why did Susan run out of their room?


    Evelyn''s mind swirled with questions, none of which she could answer.


    She hade to the hotel seeking Thssa, but instead, she found herself witness to a skin-crawling


    scene and terrified by Lysander, from which her heart nearly leaped out of her chest.
