Chapter 26 Rich Man’s Special Method
Abuse yourself?
Lottie pursed her lips, "I wasn't."
All she did was put on a face mask and listened to the news of the entertainment circle.
Luke and Isobel were this year's top actors at the Taurus Awards, so it was normal that there were many pieces of news related to them.
Even though it made her uncomfortable to hear about his news, Lottie no longer had feelings toward him, so she just treated it like random gossip about a stranger. Ralph slightly knitted his dark brows, "You still can't let it go?"
Lottie was confused, "Pardon?"
Before she could finish, he took large steps to her, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her downstairs.
"What are you doing?"
Lottie began to struggle as Ralph tried to drag her out of the door, "Where are you trying to take me?"
She was still wearing a set of bunny pajamas and a face mask!
He said nothing and threw her into the car.
The car started up and drove off.
Sitting next to the driver's seat, Lottie looked at her own reflection that had a mask on the face through the car window, feeling quite helpless.
She removed her mask, but there was no trashcan in the car, so she crumpled it into her hand, "Where are you going?"
He said nothing but continued to look forward and step on the gas pedal.
The car pulled to a stop in front of a five-star hotel in Rexwell.
"Get out."
Ralph's hands still tightly gripped the steering wheel and his face looked cold.
Lottie was speechless.
It was late at night, and he dragged her out here regardless of the fact that she was still wearing pajama... simply to get a room in the hotel?
Out of reflex, she covered her chest with her hands, "Mr. Chapman, I'm not that kind of girl."
He looked at her disdainfully, "You sleep with me every night. If I wanted to have sex with you, I don't need to go through all these."
Lottie said nothing.
What he said did make some sense.
But, if not for this reason, why did he take her here at midnight?
"Get out."
The man repeated in a cold tone.
Lottie pursed her lips and then obediently got out of the car.
As soon as she got out, he dragged her by the wrist again and pulled her up the stairs.
He brought her before a private suite.
Once he entered, he sat down on the sofa in an elegant manner and used a remote control to turn on the TV on the wall.
On the screen was a real-time surveillance video.
In the video, Luke and Isobel sat submissively on a sofa as a man seemed to be scolding them.
From the decorations of the room, it appeared that they were also in one of the rooms in this hotel.
Lottie in the bunny pajamas just stood there and stared at Luke and Isobel in the surveillance video, "This is..." "They're just in a room next door."
Ralph rubbed his eyebrows fretfully, "Since you still can't forget Luke, I will give you a chance to go see him now." "You can go over there right now and beat him or yell at him, and get back at him for everything he did to you." Lottie was dumbfounded.
This was the reason why he brought her here at midnight?
She pursed her lips and then waved her hand, "Never mind. I don't want to do that."
Really?
Ralph narrowed his eyes into a thin line, "Are you still hoping to get back to him?"
The atmosphere around them suddenly became incredibly cold.
There was a dangerous look in his eyes, "You'd better give up on that thought."
Lottie was taken aback.
So what she said just now made him think that she wanted to get back to Luke?
Ever since she learned that Luke had secretly been with Isobel for five years, whenever she saw him, she felt disgusted down to her stomach!
She pursed her lips and said, "Don't worry. I wouldn't go back to him even if he kneels before me and begs me."
Ralph gave her a cold glance.
After a while, he let out an ugly smirk, "That's how it should be."
Lottie was silent...
She then yawned and sat by the edge of the sofa.
She was quite tired.
"Mr. Chapman, is this the reason why you take me here late at night?"
Ralph said, "Elijah said that you look so unhappy lately."
"So you brought me here to get back at Luke because Elijah said I'm not happy?"
Ralph paused for a moment and then replied, "He asked me to make you happy."
Lottie was speechless again.
What a weird method to make her happy!
Because she felt unhappy, he brought her here to get back at her ex-boyfriend?
She looked at the noble yet insouciant man before her in a dumbfounded manner.
Was this the special method for the rich man to flatter a woman?
She let out a sigh and said in a light joking tone, "Mr. Chapman."
"If this is your way to make me happy, just how did you chase Fabian and Elijah's mother?"
Upon hearing this, Ralph's face suddenly tensed up.
He then distinctively uttered each word, "I didn't chase her."
Lottie froze there.
Suddenly, she realized something.
He should be right. As a handsome and rich man like him, he didn't need to chase women.
If it wasn't for the rumors that said he was an ill-tempered, ugly tyrant, there would definitely be an incredibly long line of women just waiting to marry him. Then how could she possibly get the chance?
"I didn't chase her, nor did I ever try to make her happy."
"I owe her a lot."
This was the first time Ralph opened up to her about Fabian and Elijah's mother.
The butler said that Ralph didn't get married.
She slightly bit her lip, "Then she..."
"She's dead."
The man turned his face away as he said these words.
Lottie felt like a sharp pain ran straight through her heart.
"I'm so sorry..."
She bit her lips. She knew it wasn't appropriate, but she couldn't help being curious as she asked, "How did she die?"
"In a fire."
The man shut his eyes and said, "After she died, I vowed that I'd never married any other woman."
"But..."
He couldn't believe that there was still a woman who didn't heed the rumors and passed both Fabian and Elijah's screening and successfully became his wife.
Lottie Green was a complete accident.
But, whenever he thought of his two children...
"You get along well with the kids."
If it weren't for her, he'd have never known that Elijah could be so talkative nor that Fabian could be so well-behaved.
Lottie let out a laugh, "Hah, I think they're quite compatible with me as well."
Five years ago, she lost her child due to a car accident.
Then, five years later, she happened to meet Fabian and Elijah.
Maybe this was destiny?
"Hm."
Ralph let out a grunt.
Suddenly, she couldn't know what she could say.
She said nothing, and he said nothing as well.
The room suddenly fell dead quiet, save for the sound of their breathing.
"Luke..."
Suddenly, some lusty voices of a woman came from the room next door.
Lottie suddenly looked up.
On the screen, the man who was scolding Luke and Isobel was nowhere to be seen.
Now, the live feed was displaying some rated R foreplay between the two.
The audio from the surveillance instantly turned Lottie's face red!
She took a sneak peek at Ralph, who already stood up.
He turned off the monitor, and tightly held her neck to pull her up from the sofa, and then walked to the door.
And in this weird manner, the two of them got into the elevator.
Lottie was quite uncomfortable, so she struggled to break free.
"Stop fidgeting."
From behind her, a low and raspy voice rang out, "If you don't want me to do anything to you, then stop moving."
Lottie kept quiet in a hurry.
