Chapter 771 The Perfume


    The soldiers were relieved to hear that the woman was okay. "Chief, should we take her home?"


    They were all wondering the same as they stared at each other.


    Then, the woman raised her head and said in a feeble voice, "Wesley Li… I know you."


    All eyes were on Wesley at once. His brows knitted tightly.


    Wesley was good with faces. He had met this woman before, and Cecelia had onceined about


    her—Ste.


    None of the soldiers wanted to take her home. Since Wesley remained silent, they quickly made


    excuses for themselves, in case he dumped the woman on them. "Chief, all of us, except you, have to


    go back to the office. So, you''re the only one avable to drive her home."


    "Right. Off we go."


    "Bye, Chief."


    They started running as if they were in a race. Within seconds, they had all gotten into the second car


    and were gone.


    For the first time, Wesley was impressed by his soldiers'' efficiency.


    He looked around. There was nobody else nearby, and Ste looked miserable.


    Out of options, he flung the heavily perfumed woman onto his shoulder and carried her to the car. He


    made her sit in the back seat and drove off.


    Past midnight, ir was woken up by a kiss.


    She knew that it was Wesley. He would kiss her every time he got home.


    But tonight, something was different. ir was about to say something when she sensed the strong


    perfume on him.


    ''I don''t wear perfume. Whose is that?'' She was alerted, but hid her anxiety well. "You''re back," she said


    in a rxed tone.


    "Yeah. I''m going to take a shower."


    "Okay."


    ir watched the bathroom door close behind him. Then, she went back to sleep with ufortable


    thoughts running in her mind.


    The next day, ir received a call from Joslyn. After chatting for a while, Joslyn started rambling


    absent-mindedly. Clearly, something was on her mind. She wanted to say something, but wasn''t sure if


    she should. ir sensed her hesitation. "Joslyn, it''s me. If you''ve got something to say, just say it."


    Joslyn was conflicted. After a moment''s silence, she began, "But promise me that you won''t get upset.


    We all know Wesley. He is not the type to fool around."


    "I know," ir said confidently.


    Joslyn continued, "Last night, someone told Hartwell that they saw Wesley with a woman in a hotel


    room. ir, I''m sure it''s nothing. Don''t overthink it." Joslyn didn''t want to tell her about this, but she also


    felt that ir deserved to know. She didn''t believe that Wesley was having an affair, but what if it was


    true? At least now ir could keep an eye on him.


    ''Wesley was in a hotel with a woman?'' ir''s thought drifted to the strange perfume on Wesleyst


    night. "I see. But Joslyn, Wesley won''t cheat on me."


    Joslyn was relived. "I''m d to hear that. That''s what I think too. Wesley is a decent man. Patty tried so


    hard to seduce him, and even got to marry him. But he never slept with her. He won''t cheat on you this


    time either."


    "You''re right."


    However, for the next three nights in a row, Wesley came home, carrying the pungent smell of that


    strong perfume. ir couldn''t stay cool anymore.


    She called Joslyn. "Which hotel is that woman staying in? I want to go check her out. Can you ask


    Hartwell for me?"


    "I don''t think that''s a good idea, ir. You''re not fully recovered yet. You shouldn''t be moving about. I


    can ask Hartwell to check her out for you."


    "I''m fine. I can get out of bed now. I just want to find out who she is. Don''t worry." It took a lot of


    persuasion before Joslyn finally agreed to get her the hotel''s address.


    The following night, after the elders and the baby had gone to sleep, ir put on some light makeup,


    got dressed and left the house.


    The hotel the mystery woman was staying in was cheap; it was not even a four-star.


    ir took the elevator upstairs and rang the doorbell of a room. A woman opened the door, as she


    expected.


    She recognized the face—Ste, the daughter of the CEO of TS Group.


    It had been a long time since ir hadst seen her.


    And the perfume Ste was wearing was the same as that on Wesley.


    "Long time no see, Miss Zhuge." ir smiled at her.


    She still looked pale and sickly, but her presence was more imposing than Ste''s.


    "What do you want?" Ste asked with an embarrassed expression on her face.


    "Can Ie in?"


    Ste moved aside to let her in, and then closed the door. "I heard you were in aa. Why are you


    here?" Ste quickly regained herposure and put on an attitude.


    ir didn''t reply. She looked around the room.


    "This hotel looks quite crappy. I''m relieved."


    Ste''s face fell with humiliation.


    "That''s because your husband has no money. We have to make do."


    ''We?'' ir didn''t miss that word. She sneered, "Wesley doesn''t have money? Are you sure about that?


    Maybe he just doesn''t want to spend it on you?"


    ir was wearing thetest fashion of an international brand. The pigeon egg-sized diamond ring on


    Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    her finger was giving off a ring shine. Around her neck was a pendant from the same set as the ring.


    The Zhuge family had been wealthy before theirpany was crushed, so there was no doubt that


    Ste was aware of the value of ir''s outfit.


    The designs of her clothes and jewelry were simple, but they were valuable enough to buy the entire


    hotel Ste was staying in.


    Ste paled at ir''s words, but she countered, "So what? He is cheating on you. He has been with


    me for the past few days."


    ir ignored her and continued, "Wesley would never allow me to stay in a ce like this. It''s so filthy


    and insecure."


    Ste had nothing to retort.


    "My husband is hot, isn''t he? Horny women like you always throw themselves at him, but he never


    gives a damn about any of them."


    "Yes, he is hot, and also very good in bed." Ste finally managed to fire back.


    She assumed that ir would re up, but she was wrong. ir gave a contemptuous smile and


    replied, "You can tell that? It''s true. He is incredible in bed. But what a shame. You can only guess. I''m


    the only one who gets to sleep with him."


    "You''re too naive. I''ve been sleeping with your husband for three days. Look at you. All pale and sickly.


    How can you satisfy him? So, of course, he woulde to me."


    ir remarked calmly, "You can''t stay in a hotel like this for long. Do you want a house? I can ask


    Wesley to buy one for you."


    Ste turned purple. "I don''t want a house. I only want Wesley."


    "Okay, bye then."


    ir turned to leave. That was when the doorbell rang.


    Ste opened the door hastily. Wesley was standing in the hallway, carrying a bag ofte supper.


    Without looking inside the room, he handed her the bag and said, "Here. Bye."
