Chapter 1113
Chapter 1113 Ashamed
Having collected his coat from a waiter and putting it on, Cooper went outside to see Berti''s car
parked by the roadside.
Just when Cooper was about to get into the vehicle, he saw Sally on the side trying to hail a ride with
one hand holding her phone and the other in her pocket.
She seemed lonely as snowkes fell onto her ck hair.
Knitting his eyebrows, Cooper addressed Sally. “You can''t get a ride in this weather. Come on. I''ll send
you home.”
Sally looked at the man before eventually putting her phone away and walking over to him.
The temperature in the car was just right, so Cooper took off his coat and set it on his thighs. “Where
should I send you?”
“A hotel.”
“Don''t you have a condominium?” inquired Cooper while turning to look at Sally, who had already
pulled down her cor to reveal her pale lips. It was as though Sally had lost most of her body heat.
“The locations of my home and my condominium have been exposed, so it''s not a good idea to stay at
those ces any longer.”
Since the Loake family had fallen, many would attempt to get Sally locked away as well.
At that point, Cooper decided not to carry on with the topic.
Berti nced at the rearview mirror before raising the divider as he thoughtfully drove toward
Cooper''s Condominium.
Probably due to the awkwardness of the silence in the car, Cooper came up with another topic. “Why
didn''t you reach out to me after you returned?”
“I''m ashamed because of my failure.” Sally did not expect Genevieve to choose to die with Zephyr.
After a pause, the woman added, “After that, something unfortunate happened to my family.”
Sally knew the Gaudettes were ambitious, so they would never ept losing half their military power
because her father refused to side with the Zanes.
However, she never thought the Gaudettes would be so cold-blooded.
With her capability, Sally could kill a few Gaudettes without problem, but she wanted to clear the names
of the Zane and the Loake families and prove her father''s innocence.
Cooper''s heart sank when he thought of Sally''s email mentioning Lostaria and the deaths of Armand
and Genevieve.
Half an hourter, the vehicle arrived at Cooper''s condominium.
After returning home, Cooper received a call from Amanda while taking off and hanging his coat, so he
left Sally and went into the study.
Amanda was unhappy because her father was overseas like her mother and did not call her.
Heartbroken, Cooper spent some time on the phone tofort the little girl. He then opened the door
to his bedroom, only to find Sally changing inside.
Underneath her sweater was a light blue bra strapped to her slender back.
When Cooper saw Sally''s waistline, he could not help but wonder how a good fighter like her had such
a beautiful figure instead of a body full of bulging muscles.
Cooper immediately furrowed his eyebrows when he realized what was going through his mind. “You''ll
be staying in the guest room.”
“You didn''t say.” While putting on her robe and tying her hair, Sally added, “I used to stay in this room,
so I thought the others weren''t for me.”
Besides the bedroom, Cooper remembered Sally going to the study once when she still lived at the
condominium, and there was no sign of rummaging. So I was wrong?
“Fine. You can stay in this room if you want to.” Cooper did not want to argue with Sally, so he grabbed
his pajamas from the walk-in closet and went to the guest room.

When Cooper shut his eyes in the showers, he could almost see Sally in the blue gown she wore at the
club and her slender waist again.
There was suddenly a strong desire in him as he wiped off the water droplets on his face.
Cooper went to bed after showering but remained irritable even at midnight, so he opened the door to
the master bedroom and saw Sally sound asleep.
Then, he sat on the bed and gazed at the woman.
When Cooper wrapped Sally''s ck hair on the pillow around his finger, it seemed to have awoken her.
With Sally''s eyes looking straight into his, Cooper leaned in and uttered in his deep voice, “Fighters like
you are light sleepers and have keen hearings. You''ve already woken up when I opened the door.”
Instead of responding to the man with words, Sally grabbed him by the neck and lifted her head to kiss
him.
Chapter 1112 Calling It Even
“Sure,” responded Sally with a cold look in her eyes, and before long, a waiter delivered a few crates of
beer into the private room.
Sally then opened up all the beer bottles and started downing one at her own pace, prompting the men
to follow suit.
When Cooper finally reached the room on the third floor after asking around, Sally and the men had
already finished two crates of beer.
One of the men quit because he could not drink anymore.
The other two had reddened faces and necks and were barely holding on, while Sally stood beside the
table with a calm expression and her skin remaining snow-white under the light.
The men who made a bet with Sally did not expect her to be such a capable drinker. “We can''t drink
beer only. Let''s switch to red wine—”
“And why would we do that?” interrupted Cooper as soon as he pushed the door open.
Cooper, wearing a thin gray sweater and trousers in the air-conditioned club, looked gentlemanly with
one hand in his pocket. However, his eyes hiding behind his pair of sses were as dark as the abyss.
“You''re trying to switch to wine so you can oust her by taking turns, aren''t you? I can tell this isn''t
your first rodeo,”mented Cooper coldly.
“Mr. Sutton,” greeted the man as he hurriedly jumped to his feet from the couch, for he recognized the
person who was both the director of Specter Corporation and the owner of the club.
“I only asked her to drink with us because she insisted onpensating me for soiling my clothes. I
was nning to lose to her purposely so we could call it even,” exined the man with an apologetic
smile.
After ncing at the beer crates beside the table, Cooper smiled too. “Then tell me how many bottles
you drank.”
The man was at a loss for words as he looked at the two crates full of empty beer bottles.
Cooper casually walked over to pick a bottle of beer from the table before pouring the beer onto the
man''s head. Even though the man was so cold that he trembled all over, he dared not utter a word of
defiance.
“Like all businesses, we value our customers. However, this waitress isn''t someone you can bully,”
stated Cooper calmly.
The man hurriedly agreed with Cooper while wiping the beer off his face. “I know what I did was wrong
now. Mr. Sutton, please—”
“You still have one more crate, no?” interrupted Cooper before moving the beer crate onto the table.
“We''ll call it even if you can finish this by yourself.”
Parting his lips, the man wanted to say something but quickly changed his mind when Cooper gave him
a look so intimidating that he shuddered uncontrobly.
He knew he would be in trouble if he failed to do as ordered.
In the end, the man had no choice but to start downing beer bottle after bottle as if he was ready to
embrace death. By the time he was finally done, he was already at death''s door.
The others quickly picked up the man afterward and made themselves scarce, leaving the entire room
to Cooper and Sally.
Only then did Cooper turn around to look at the silent Sally and scrutinize her blue gown.
Since her drinking had increased her body temperature, Sally unbuttoned the top of her uniform to
reveal her beautiful neck.
Cooper retracted his gaze after just one look at the woman and simply uttered, “Change out of that
uniform and leave this ce.” With that said, the man walked out of the room.
Sally remained silent as she made her way to the changing room but suddenly had to answer a phone
call while taking off the outfit.
She heard the person on the other end of the line curse at her before hanging up.
After Cooper returned to the VIP room to chat with Caleb for a while, the three went outside the club at
ten o''clock.
“Ms. Loake,” called out Jerry suddenly, so Cooper raised his eyes to see Sally sitting in the lounge
beside the club entrance in a long ck skirt paired with a sweater of the same color. Even her coat
was ck, contrasting the fairness of her face.
Sally then walked around the coffee table and toward the trio.
“I saw you in a uniform just now. Now that you''ve changed out of it, does it mean you''re off work?”
joked Jerry, to which Sally provided a cold affirmation.
“We''ll be going then.” After saying goodbye, Jerry put his mask back on and left with his uncle.
“Didn''t I tell you to go?” questioned Cooper, frowning at the woman.
“You asked me to leave the room but didn''t say anything about leaving the club,” retorted Sally in a cold
tone.
After ncing at Cooper, Sally pulled up the cor of her sweater to cover half of her face and walked
away.
