Sweet Baby Sent From Heaven

Y City, late autumn, JL Hot Spring.

Terence Ji placed his arms on top of the stone pavement and tried to relax himself. He sighed, allowing himself to thread deeper into relaxation.

It seemed as if time had stopped around him. The ripples created by the calming spring water echoed from the back of his ears.

Bubbles appeared in the surface. Terence Ji had been observing them for two minutes. He spread out his arms and stared, waiting quietly.

Once another two minutes had passed, the spring water splashed and quivered. Suddenly, a woman rose from the spring's depths, panting as if her life depended on it. Her whole body was drenched, and she wiped her face, revealing her large eyes and delicate features.

Although Terence Ji didn't say anything, his stare put on great pressure around her.

The woman turned her back on him, gritting her teeth. Once she got a hold of herself, she turned around. The shrewd look in her eyes had disappeared.

"Terence Ji, the newcomer in Y City. Not only did he abandon his family background when he came to the city two years ago, but he also established a foothold in the city at the age of 26. Not only is he incredibly influential, but he's also dubbed as the Golden Bachelor. Tell me, is that you?"

It would be hard to even get an appointment with him, let alone meet him.

Crossing his arms over his chest, Terence Ji gazed at the woman up and down before nodding. His eyes flashed.

The woman took another deep breath. "I'm Vanessa Wu. I graduated with a major of Civil Engineering at Y University." Before she could say anything more about herself, she stopped. Given the man's cold look, it seemed that she should get straight to the point. "I want to make a deal with you."

"With what? Your body?" He sneered.

His words were like sharp knives, but she didn't bother. "It's not much of a deal. All I want is to give you a baby. After that, you'll never see me again."

She was about to continue when he interrupted her, "How much is it?"

It didn't take a psychologist to know how much he hated the woman's guts.

Vanessa Wu's face flushed. "I've already told you that I don't need anything else. All you need to do is to provide your sperm, and that's it."

Terence Ji just sneered. His gaze darkened.

Even if his eyes were cold and indifferent, she couldn't help but fall deeper into them. They say that the eyes are the window to one's soul, and she could already tell how complicated his soul must be.

"If I wanted a child, I can find a woman I love to give birth for me. It's not difficult." Terence Ji glanced at her. "I'd rather my child to grow up in a happy family, so your deal means nothing to me. Even then, who even told you I'd want a child in the first place?"

She pursed her lips. "Do you know Kelly Wu?"

Terence Ji raised his head slightly.

"I heard that you came to Y City to find her. Well, I know exactly where she is."

At first, Vanessa Wu didn't want to mention the woman's name, but if she didn't, the man wouldn't even allow her to get closer.

She sat at the other side of the spring, letting the hot air envelope her completely.

Terence Ji gazed at her coldly. Obviously, the woman was well-prepared, but unfortunately, he wouldn't be moved by such a tactic. "She has hidden from me for more than two years, which means that she wants nothing to do with me as her brother. Do you really think I'll want to find her?"

In her ears, the word 'brother' became 'lover'.

The man was shameless!

Vanessa Wu couldn't help but feel sorry for the woman. Two years ago, Kelly Wu had gotten brain cancer, so she moved to Y City to treat herself.

As the cancer spread, her memory gradually faded. In fact, there were even days when she forgot who she was.

However, there was one name she kept in her heart. Whenever Vanessa Wu came to see her, she had seen the name in scraps of paper scattered across Kelly's room. It was Terence Ji.

Thinking of the poor girl, Vanessa's heart clenched. "You asshole," she spat.

As she spoke, she raised her hand and splashed some water on the man. Terence's face was now drenched with hot water.

He swam to her side and wrapped his arms around her thin waist, pulling her against him.

She instinctively resisted. Her arms waved around as she tried her best to push him away, but it seemed to have encouraged him to tighten his hold. "Didn't you say that you'll provide me with a baby? And you're already resisting?"

At his words, she gave up. With Kelly's final wish echoing in her mind, she shut her eyes and prepared herself. After all, it was what she was destined to do.

As he had gotten closer and closer to her, she became even more tensed. Every cell in her body was reacting to the man's touch, sending shocks through her entire system.

She exhaled.

Her life had always been filled with sadness. In the past twenty-two years, she had always been enduring the pain of heart disease. Now that she was out of the hospital, she found herself swimming around the sea of her own. This time, when she drowned in her own sea of sorrows, she was afraid that no one would save her.

But if Vanessa didn't do anything, she might regret it all her life.

Terence leaned in a bit more towards her face. Once they were millimeters apart, he clenched his jaw. "No." Without another word, he threw her deep into the waters.

Vanessa's clothes were even more drenched now. She dragged her exhausted body into the pavements. Even her phone had soaked up all the water that it couldn't be turned on.

Gritting her teeth, she must get his consent today.

Now that they were near the steps, Vanessa stared at him for a few minutes. Before he could walk away, she began to take off articles of her clothing.

This was the first time in her life that she had to do this for a man.

And it was degrading!

Terence only stared at her coldly. A sneer carved the corners of his mouth.

But if she didn't seize her opportunity today, she wouldn't have such a chance in the future.

If he still refused after this, then she might as well give up. At least, she came out saying that she had done all she could.

Terence could feel the tension rippling across his body as her cold lips brushed against his. He instinctively held her waist and pressed her against the wall.

"You're playing with fire, woman."

He pinched her chin and stared at her.

She subconsciously bit her lip and lowered her gaze.

Vanessa thought that she wouldn't be this timid when it came to the actual thing.

In fact, upon looking into his lustful gaze, she couldn't help but shiver and cower against the wall.

Although Terence had been used to women trying to seduce him, there was just something about her that unnerved him. He just couldn't get enough of her.

Suddenly, a drop of cold water fell from the sky, knocking him into consciousness.

The vicious rain extinguished his desire.

The weather made Vanessa want to scream in frustration. She stared at the rain as if she wanted to burn the skies herself. "Well? Can we make an appointment?" she murmured.

With a darkened face, he got dressed himself. Once he was finished, he glared at her. "I'll consider what you've said."

After what had happened two years ago, Terence had never cared much for women. In fact, he never had any feelings for any woman for two years, except now.

His body was still burning from her touch. Although dulled by the cold rain, he could still feel it. Without another word, he turned around and left.

Once she saw his retreating figure, the cold rain made her shiver. She wanted to head back up, but her clothes were all wet. She decided to dive into the hot springs again.

A man in a black suit placed a set of woman's clothes onto one of the tables. "Vanessa," he called.

When she raised her head, the man automatically turned around.

He was Jeremiah Mo, Terence's special assistant. As long as it was about his boss, he was assigned to handle both personal and official affairs of the company. In fact, Vanessa had been able to enter the JL Hot Springs because of him.

Once she finished dressing up, she kicked him. "If you send me into the hot springs, the least you can do is give me an oxygen tank. I was almost suffocated."

"If you are equipped with an oxygen tank, how could you carry out your plan?" He snorted. "Well? Did it happen?"

"What do you think? If he had done, then I would've already popped open a champagne."

She sighed in frustration.

In fact, she was already so close to succeeding. If it hadn't been for the rain, she would've already gotten him!

Hearing this, Jeremiah Mo didn't know whether he should be happy or worried. "Do you really have to repay her this way? She's dead. She wouldn't know what you've done. Do you really think Kelly would like this?"

Her expression changed, and she lowered her gaze. "She's not dead," she snapped. "She'll always be in my heart."

Jeremiah Mo and Terence were at the airport. With a luggage in his hand, Jeremiah stared at the gates. "Mr. Terence, I've already made a list of what we have to do during the trip. Madam has asked and called you to come home for dinner. Would you–"

"In the future, you can refuse such a thing." Terence wore sunglasses, and his collar was popped open. It was undeniable that his features were still the main attraction.

He walked across the hall of the airport, and people stopped and peered at him, thinking that he was some big star.

After getting on the private plane, Terence pinched the space in between his eyebrows.

Someone handed him a cup of coffee, and he took it.

However, the one didn't leave.

When Vanessa's beautiful smile came into view, he sneered. It seemed that there was a mole beside him.

"Well, Mr. Terence, is there anything else I can do for you?"

"Yes."

He handed the coffee back to her. The woman could really do anything. He wouldn't be surprised if she drugged him.

Her eyes glinted. However, her fury already burned him to death in mind. "What?"

Terence leaned against the seat comfortably and said coldly, "Stay away from me."

"Okay, Mr. Terence. As long as you get me pregnant, I'll run as far as I can away from you. Unfortunately, you have to stand my face a bit longer if you don't plan to give in to me just yet,"

Vanessa said in a sickly sweet voice, which even made herself sick.

Terence snorted. "If I don't get you pregnant, will you follow me for the rest of your life then?"

A lifetime of following him? She had never thought of this question. In fact, when she came here, she thought that it would be much easier for her to tempt him. She didn't expect that it was this hard to get the man!

Flashing him a bright smile, she said the last thing that he wanted to hear.

"Yes!"

Originally, it was supposed to be a two-hour flight. However, with Vanessa hovering beside him, Terence felt as if he was being tortured for twenty years. He just couldn't wait to throw her off the plane.

When they finally arrived at the YH Company, Jeremiah received a lecture from his boss.

"How did she get in here? In terms of appearance, height, or even figure, what the hell is she capable of?"

Some of the passersby couldn't help but overhear his complaints. They glanced at Vanessa in the process, and they bit back a laugh.

Not wanting to embarrass Jeremiah, she straightened her back.

"I'm here to take over my friend's shift. Do you really think I want to be your stewardess?" she snapped.

"I don't think so. The only thing you want is to have a baby with me."

His insensitive words made her flush red.

Seeing the employees of the YH Company heading towards them, Terence lowered his voice. "Fire her friend. If you make such a careless mistake again, then I have no use of you."

Jeremiah stared helplessly at Vanessa, feeling exhausted himself.

For the first time in his life, he regretted ever choosing this job in the first place.

Now that Terence had left, Vanessa could only look at her fingers as she tried to come up another strategy.

It seemed that the man hated her guts.

Jeremiah patted her on the shoulder. "Why don't you just give up?"

He knew his boss too well. Terence would never agree to such an absurd request.

However, Vanessa hated the idea of giving up. If she really gave up, how the hell was she going to spend the rest of her life? She would spend it drowning in her own guilt.

She would never forget the moment when Kelly murmured Terence's name in her last breath.

Thinking of the wishes written on the only comic book Kelly had left behind, Vanessa felt her heart twitching in pain. If she hadn't seen that comic book, she might have not been like this now.

Seeing the painful look that flashed on her face, Jeremiah couldn't help but stretch his arms out to hold her. "Even if she didn't give her heart to you, her brain cancer would still cause her death at the end," he said softly. "You don't have to be indebted to her."

Tears filled her eyes when she looked up at him. "If she hadn't given me her heart, I would've died months ago. And now, she would've lived the last parts of her life happily. I can't–I can't take this anymore! I need to pay her back."

Vanessa wanted to try anything to pay her back, but it seemed that there was nothing else she could do.

Stung by the woman's words, Jeremiah sighed.

He forced a smile into his lips as he patted her shoulder. "Mr. Terence will be playing golf with a client in the afternoon. I've already told them in advance that you'll be there at noon. There will be a staff buffet," he stated. "You should eat. It would be good for your health."

Vanessa wiped the tears running down her cheeks. "I guess you're smart enough to know that I'll be hungry," she teased.

The golf club was located in the center of the city. Its luxurious appearance was only made to be seen by those in the upper class.

Sporting a baseball cap and a white tee, Terence sat near shade. A cup of strong coffee was in his hand, and he took a sip, relishing the taste.

Soon, a girl in pink walked over with a golf club while a middle-aged man stood on her left.

Terence stood up. "Mr. Wei, I feel as if I'm no match for your superb golf skills."

The middle-aged man burst into laughter as he shook his hand. His eyes shone with pride and happiness as he patted his bulging stomach. "No matter how good my skills are, I'm already getting old. Mr. Terence, this is my daughter Marcia. She just came back from studying in the States."

He smiled and nodded in greeting.

"Why don't you find another one to be your partner, Terence? We can go two against two to see who'll win,"

Marcia Wei suggested.

As he heard the way she addressed him, something flashed in his eyes. He placed the prepared contract he had back on the table as he reluctantly nodded. "Sure."

Hobson Wei waved his hand and sat down comfortably. "You can find two more people to pay with," he stated. "Besides, I'm already old."

After all, no one dared to beat him.

Of course, Jeremiah was the best choice that Terence had. However, they still needed one more to start the game.

Terence cast a cold glance at Marcia Wei and said, "It's a pity–"

"Excuse me, how about we play golf together?"

a woman interrupted them. "Besides it's boring if I play all by myself."

Terence immediately turned around to see Vanessa's irritating face. He subconsciously glanced at his assistant. At the look of Jeremiah's amused face, his annoyance persisted. "Fine."

Seeing that there were already enough people, Marcia Wei became interested.

"If the both of you are in the same group, we'll surely be at a disadvantage. Terence and I can be in the same group. Miss, how about you play against us?"

Vanessa grinned. "No problem!"

Jeremiah was Terence's assistant, so he wouldn't dare to play against his boss.

In the first round, Marcia Wei and Jeremiah were up against each other.

Since Jeremiah had been working for Terence for two years, his golfing skills were good.

According to the principle of 'lady's first', Marcia Wei took the lead in the first round.

He followed her.

They had already agreed to adopt the rule of winning 7 out of 11 rounds. When it came to the ninth ball, Marcia Wei made four mistakes, making him one ball ahead of her.

The score was now 5:6.

Each of them were up to play two more balls.

Terence glanced at his assistant. Getting the hint, Jeremiah missed the entrance through the cave. The game was in a draw now.

The result of the last ball had always been worrying. Seeing the closeness, sweat beaded down Marcia's face.

Just as she was about to wave her stick, Jeremiah suddenly interrupted, "How about I play this ball first?"

Now that she was already panicking, she let him.

Sure enough, his last hit was a flop.

With regained confidence, Marcia entered the last ball and won against Jeremiah by one point.

Hobson Wei burst into laughter at the result.

A confident smile threaded across Terence's lips. "Miss Marcia, it seems that you're also very capable!"

Looking through his fake smile, Vanessa resisted the urge to snort. Instead, she quickly got ready and stood on the opposite side of him. She crossed her arms.

Casting a cold glance at her, Terence took the lead in the first ball.

She gritted her teeth. Didn't he know 'lady's first'?

Vanessa hadn't played golf for a long time. In fact, the last time she played the sport was when she was just a kid, and it was miniature golf.

With a swing of her club, the ball rushed over the hall at high speed and rolled down the hill towards a different direction.

Her face darkened at the sight.

Now that she already had his attention, there was no way she was going to blunder up like this.

However, it seemed that her losing streak was much stronger than her will to shoot the ball. Now, her opponent was already three balls ahead of her.

'What a load of shit!' she cursed.

"Just admit that you've lost," Terence suggested.

"Damn you." She snorted. "You're only ahead by three. Don't be so arrogant."

As soon as she finished speaking, his ball fell into the hall with a crisp sound.

Her ball, however, rolled past a different direction.

Terence raised his eyebrow sarcastically.

Before he could swing his club once more, she stopped him. "Wait. I'll be first."

'The only reason I lost is because the man won't let me play first!' she concluded in her mind.

That must be the only reason.

Seeing that she had missed the entrance through the cave plenty of times, Vanessa held her breath and swung her club. Just as she had expected, the white ball flew into the cave accurately. The moment it entered the cave, she jumped with joy. "I'm in! I'm in! Did you guys see it?"

Jeremiah rubbed his forehead as he stared at the crazy woman jumping in front of him.

Even Terence couldn't control the smile on his lips as he hit the fifth ball.

Vanessa was still ecstatic from her first success that she ignored the miserable fate of the ten succeeding balls that she swung.

She also ignored that her opponent had won eleven balls in a row.

Even as Hobson signed the contract, Terence couldn't understand what Vanessa was so happy about.

"Terence, how about we have dinner later?"

In a span of a few hours, Marcia already became obsessed with Terence, and she wanted to be there for him no matter what the costs. He refused, "Miss Marcia, I have work to attend to tonight."

She glanced at her father with pleading eyes.

Not wanting to disappoint her, Hobson said slowly, "Mr. Terence, work can never be truly finished." He chuckled. "Why don't we have dinner with my daughter?"

"Okay."

Jeremiah prepared the car and drove them all to the YH Restaurant. It was probably one of the most high-end restaurants in the city!

It was the first restaurant Marcia had discovered when she had arrived.

She couldn't wait to introduce Terence the delicious food she had tasted there, but she had no idea that he knew much more than she did since he grew up there.

Before she could speak, a familiar figure passed by their table. Marcia's jaw dropped. "What a coincidence," she said. "Are you here for dinner too?"

Hearing her words, Terence turned his eyes from the window only to see Vanessa standing before him. He clenched his fists and frowned.

Vanessa sat beside Marcia. A warm smile slipped into her lips. "What a coincidence!" she said happily. "I forgot to introduce myself this afternoon. I'm Vanessa Wu. It's nice to meet you."

"Marcia Wei," she greeted. Suddenly she turned to Terence. "This is Terence Ji. As you can see, his golfing skills are top-notch."

"I definitely did."

Vanessa laughed lightly, not intending to leave.

Upon seeing the embarrassing atmosphere, Marcia rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. "So, Miss Vanessa, would you like to have dinner with us?"

"I'm alone anyway." She shrugged. "As long as Mr. Terence doesn't mind, of course."

"I don't mind."

After saying this, he continued to gaze out the window, looking uninterested.

Rolling her eyes, Vanessa glanced at the food set on the table.

Seeing as Terence was going to pay for the meal, she decided that she would eat more. After what he had said about Kelly, she was determined to waste this man's money.

Taking this as her motivation, she began to eat even more. The awkward air leveled upon them as they ate in silence.

When they finally walked out of the restaurant, Marcia was assisting Vanessa around the pavements. The woman looked incredibly flustered from the amount of food that she had eaten.

Marcia didn't expect her to eat that much. Now, it was inconvenient for Vanessa to walk around. Her stomach had started to bulge out as she wobbled across the pathway.

"Miss Vanessa," she started. "We're actually going to the Night Palace. Will you be joining us?"

The Night Palace was one of the most luxurious clubs in the city.

"Sure!"

Terence had just paid the bill, and he was alone with a woman who was lusting after him. There was no way Vanessa was going to leave them alone.

She had to do everything to interrupt the couple.

In Vanessa's eyes, Terence could only belong to Kelly, no one else.

As soon as Vanessa entered the Night Palace, she was surprised by the noise booming from either side of the club. Twisting bodies crowded around each other at the center of the stage.

It was already approaching midnight, but for those in their mid-twenties, the night had only just begun.

However, there was something strange about the club. As Vanessa scanned the perimeters, there happened to be more men than women on the dance floor.

When she followed the pair up the stairs, she saw two men locked in an embrace.

Eyes wide open, Vanessa let out a yelp as she sped through the couple. Her face was flushed red.

Terence's eyes widened in surprise at her hurried figure. When he turned to look at what she had seen, he pursed his lips.

It seemed that the fearless girl who claimed to have his child was embarrassed about something after all.

Marcia, who had been walking in the front this whole time, furrowed her eyebrows. "Have you seen Miss Vanessa? I saw her turning around the corner and disappearing."

"No."

Actually, Terence wanted nothing more than for that woman to disappear.

He pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing as she still couldn't see Vanessa, Marcia sighed and followed him into the room.

As soon as the manager of the Night Palace heard that Terence was coming, he hurriedly brought with him a group of women.

When they walked into the box, Marcia, who was singing quietly beside Terence, put down the microphone with a gloomy face.

He frowned.

The manager of the club was about to speak when an enchanting voice cut in.

"Who knew that you'd be coming here, man? What's wrong?"

A man with neat short red hair and expensive clothes walked into the private room.

When he saw a woman he liked, he quickly entangled his arm around her waist. She giggled and snuggled closer to his chest, but he seemed indifferent to her flirty gestures.

"I came for work."

Terence shrugged, casting a cold glance at the man.

Squinting at him, Scott Nie didn't bother to snap at him. Terence wasn't like this before. However, after what had happened two years ago, he had become indifferent to almost everyone he met.

"Have you found Kelly then?"

As soon as the words left his lips, everyone turned to Terence.

Kelly used to be one of the most beautiful women in the upper class circle. A lot of them knew her, and a lot of them had also fallen in love with her beauty and daintiness.

Terence tightened the grip on his glass. "Know your place,"

he snapped.

Scott Nie crossed his arms, unfazed by the man's threat. They had known each other long enough that they were used to each other's harsh words. "Where's Terry Ji?" he said loudly.

"I just saw him drank a lot. Will he be okay?"

Everyone in the Night Palace knew what kind of person Terry Ji was. Upon the assumption that Terry was out on a prowl, the manager immediately walked out of the room.

Although Marcia didn't know much about Terry, one of her best friends had warned her about him – how she had to avoid him at every chance she got.

Therefore, she had a bad impression of the man.

Now, the manager's panic reminded Marcia of Vanessa's absence. What if she bumped into Terry? She immediately turned to Terence. "What if Miss Vanessa's in danger?" she said hurriedly.

Reminded by Marcia, Terence didn't waste any time as he stalked out of the private room.

She wanted to follow him out, but Scott Nie quickly grabbed her arm.

"Would you like to drink with me?" he asked lazily.

At the corner near the ladies' room, Vanessa gazed at the same rooms on both sides of the corridor, confused.

Why weren't there any room numbers?

Suddenly, a woman's sob broke through the corridor. Alerted, Vanessa snuck to the other corner to see a man covering the woman's eyes with a piece of black cloth. Her hands and feet were also tied together.

Vanessa covered her mouth,

forcing herself not to make a sound.

She slowly backed away, but as she did, she bumped into another man. She was so frightened that she almost bit her tongue.

Seeing Vanessa right in front of him, Terence could feel himself relax. He should've known better than to think that the crazy woman was in trouble.

Heaving a sigh of relief, she pulled him aside before he could reach the other end of the corridor.

"There's a freak over there," she whispered deliberately.

Hearing this, Terence seemed to be encouraged to walk towards the flickering corridor.

She stretched out a hand to pull him back, but it was to no avail.

Once he was standing by the corner, Terence leaned against the wall and whistled. "I can see that you're making progress."

Terri turned around with a smirk on his face. He lifted his trousers and untied the woman. Before she could leave, he slapped her ass and whispered, "I'll transfer the money to your account tomorrow." She then nodded and left.

"Do you know how much Mom has missed you?"

As if nothing had happened, Terry met his brother's gaze. He glanced at Vanessa in interest.

"Who is she?"

"Interested?"

Vanessa flushed in anger as she stamped her feet. She was about to turn around and leave when Terence grabbed her wrist.

"It's dangerous here. Don't run around unless you're asking for something to happen," he said expressionlessly.

She felt an electric shock scouring through her system. Realizing what had just happened, she gazed up at his cold eyes. "Aren't you so caring?" she teased.

"Shut up."

Terry walked over. He towered over Vanessa's small figure. "My brother's an iceberg. It wouldn't do him any use to flirt with him. In fact, it's better to beg me rather than him." He lowered his head. "Tell me, what do you want him to do?"

"None of your business, pervert!"

Vanessa was already upset over Terence treating her like some object, she got goose bumps all over her body as remembering the scene that she had just seen of Terry and that woman.

But knowing that he was Terence's brother, she was not scared of him now.

Instead of getting angry, Terry smiled wider. "I like this one. Do you want to put your hand around my cock?"

She took a deep breath, not wanting to respond.

Terence sneered.

"You should know who you should and shouldn't talk to, Terry. Even if Dad protected you once, that doesn't mean he'd be able to protect you the second time around."

Terry could only shrug his shoulders. He had been used to Terence's cold words that he didn't bother to take them seriously.

When Terence, Vanessa, and Terry entered the private room, they saw Marcia struggling under a man's strong grip. Her eyes were wide with unshed tears as she tried her best to avoid the man's snaky arms.

Terence stared coldly at the sight, but he didn't say a word.

On the other hand, Vanessa reacted very violently. Without even thinking, she strode over, grabbed the man's arm, and pulled him off from Marcia's body with great force. Regardless of who he was, she was determined to teach him a lesson.

The man was too busy with the woman under him, and he didn't like being interrupted.

When Vanessa kicked him, he raised his hand out of spite.

However, before his hand could slap her face, someone grabbed the man's arm. When Vanessa glanced up as she helped Marcia back into her clothes, she rolled her eyes at the disheveled man.

"Terry, what the hell are you doing?"

Scott gritted his teeth in annoyance.

"Brother, take your friend away," Terry snarled.

However, Terence simply stood there motionless.

There was no way Scott was going to handle this embarrassment lightly. He shook off the man's grip and was about to stand back up, but Terry pushed him back onto the sofa.

"Flying pig, take her away!"

Vanessa, who didn't realize that the 'flying pig' was actually referring to her, froze upon hearing his roar. Her heart raced in her chest. "Pervert," she muttered.

Without another word, she dragged Marcia out of the room, trying her best to wipe the tears running down the woman's face.

When she passed by the door, she glanced up at Terence, who had never done anything to help them.

Instead, Terence was simply leaning against the door as he watched the scene unfold before him.

"I won't give up," Vanessa said lowly before leaving.

A few minutes after they left, Terence left as well.

In the private room, Scott smashed the wine bottle against the table. Although the shards of glass scattered around the floor helplessly, it still wasn't enough to tame his anger.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Scott demanded. "There's not a woman here that I can't afford to play with, and you're stopping me now?"

"If you really like that woman, I'll give you a thousand more tomorrow. You can have whoever you want." Terry rolled his eyes.

Hearing that, the man brightened up at the thought of receiving the best day of his life tomorrow. He punched Terry lightly on the shoulders. "Interesting deal," he commented.

Terry didn't respond. Instead, he swirled his glass around and took a sip.
