Melody teased, "The reserved men love the bitches. Trust me."
Irene burst out laughing. "Me? A bitch?"
Melody burst into laughter and gave Irene a soft push on the shoulder. She then pulled down her cap to shield the light as she reclined to nap.
"Finish your punishment, and I will take a nap," she said.
"Homework," Irene responded.
"Any difference between them?"
Irene was lost for words. She wrote on till her paper met the minimum requirement.
She added one sentence after flipping through the whole article. [Never will I mess around with men again. I swear.]
"Done," Irene said. She saved the article and sent it to Jeremy via WhatsApp.
She closed her laptop and soon spotted a figure lurking around.
With her eyes slightly narrowed, she said under her breath, "Melody, he is here."
Melody snapped awake. She became a playboy in an instant and pulled Irene into her arms by the neck.
Not far away, the paparazzo hit the shutter button like mad.
Ten minutes later, Irene flipped through the photos with her head on Melody's shoulder.
She chose nine satisfactory photos and asked, "What do you think of these photos?"
Melody checked the photos and commented, "Not bad. Send them to me, and I will upload them to Twitter as a good surprise for my fans."
"Here you go!"
The smile faded away from Irene's eyes as Melody uploaded the photos.
"What are you going to do with your dear brother?" Melody sounded excited.
Irene flashed Melody a mysterious smile. "Nothing. Someone will teach him a good lesson." Greedy people had enemies everywhere.
This was St. Mary Hospital. Thanks to professional treatment, Mike had a narrow escape.
He survived the challenge but still suffered those complications and sequelae caused by the stroke.
Now, he was unconscious and looked fragile on the bed.
All the relatives of the Barnes family gathered in Mike's ward with those who didn't live in Eldraeth City included.
The spacious ward became crowded because of these visitors.
Whoever walked past the ward couldn't help but think that Mike must be on his deathbed.
Word spread quickly, and the paparazzi flocked to the hospital to get the scoop.
That night, news about the Barnes family was the trending topic in Eldraeth City.
[The chairman of the Barnes group is in the hospital for his stroke!]
[The chaos of the Barnes group!]
With a long face, Dorian sat by Mike's bed and flipped through the trending topics online.
With her eyes swollen from crying, Lily was busy looking after Mike.
Mike's cousins waited in the ward, and all of them were sad or pretended to be.
"Why isn't Saul here?" One of Mike's cousins complained, "Why didn't he come here? His father is severely sick."
Dorian shot a cold glance at his uncle and sneered. "Why bother? What can a blind man like him do here? If he shows up, I will have to get him babysat. He will become a burden upon his arrival."
Dorian looked down upon his useless brother. He didn't bother to hide his disdain for Saul before their relatives. His comments about Saul were harsh and mean.
However, nobody spoke up for Saul because they would have to count on Dorian from now on. Dorian would become the heir of the Barnes family since Mike was severely sick.
"What's wrong with you guys? Do you know the scandals online? Why didn't you do something?" Dorian pushed.
With their heads down, nobody dared to look Dorian in the eye. Silence pervaded in the ward.
Dorian rose to his feet, strode to the window, and called the head of the public relations department.
He gave his subordinate a good lecture and then ordered, "Delete all the topics right away! Issue a statement to tell the world that my dad is out of danger..."
After the call, Dorian received a text message from Kevin. [Dorian, people say that your dad is sick in the hospital. How is he?]
Dorian frowned at the message and replied curtly. [He's out of danger.]
After a moment of thought, he added, [Don't contact me unless it's necessary.]
He deleted all the messages from Kevin and then noticed a WhatsApp message from Irene.
Irene: [I cosplayed your favorite cartoon character with my friend tonight.]
Irene then sent Dorian several exciting photos.
In the photo, Melody dressed up as a man with a black men's shirt and the iconic black cap.
As for Irene, she wore a slip dress with red roses on it, and half of her breasts got exposed. The lip-biting makeup made her look seductive.
Only one glance at Irene in the photo could excite Dorian.
Right then came another message from Irene. [Do you like them, Dorian?]
Dorian quietly saved the photos before he replied, [Very.]
Irene: [Did my photos help improve your mood? Dorian, I believe that your dad will survive the challenge.]
Irene was supposed to be officially introduced to Mike as Dorian's girlfriend that day.
The plan was ruined, but Irene didn't cause trouble for Dorian. Instead, she tried to amuse him by cosplaying his favorite cartoon character.
"What a fool she is..." Dorian thought. A pang of guilt got him. Clutching his phone, he stepped out of the ward to give Irene a call.
Right then came a call from an unknown number. Dorian answered the call.
Then, a male voice came from the voice changer. "Mr. Barnes, your girlfriend, Irene, cheats on you. I have some videos of her having sex with another man in the back seat.
"Your father is sick in the hospital. If I spread the videos online, you know what will happen to the stock price of your company..."
Dorian said, "Friend me on WhatsApp."
The caller quickly friended Dorian on WhatsApp and sent the latter a screenshot from those videos.
The paparazzo: [Look, the slut in a red dress is your girlfriend, Irene, isn't she?]
Dorian scrutinized the screenshot and then compared it with the photos sent by Irene not long ago.
Then, he chuckled. [Name your price.]
The paparazzo: [Brilliant! Not much. I think the image of the Barnes group and your reputation is worth three million dollars, at least.]
Dorian: [Of course. Give me your bank account, and I'll wire the money to you.]
The paparazzo didn't expect Dorian to be so generous. Without hesitation, he provided his bank account to Dorian.
Dorian instructed his assistant to wire the money to the paparazzo right away.
The paparazzo quickly returned Dorian a meme of a thumbs-up. Then, Dorian called the police and said, "Hey, I just got blackmailed."
Irene burst out laughing. "Me? A bitch?"
Melody burst into laughter and gave Irene a soft push on the shoulder. She then pulled down her cap to shield the light as she reclined to nap.
"Finish your punishment, and I will take a nap," she said.
