Bailey knew that he was in the wrong, but Zachary did not make things difficult for her and obediently let go of her.

Bailey was right. It was indeed not good to be seen by others. If word got out that Bailey had just broken up with another man and was seen with another, there would definitely be gossip.

Although Zachary did not care, he did not want Bailey to be criticized by everyone.

After regaining her freedom, Bailey coughed lightly to hide the awkward situation between the two of them. Then, she said, “Xavier has cheated on me. I want you to catch him in the act with me. I want a big scene.”

Upon hearing Bailey’s words, Zachary suspected that he had heard wrongly. “What did you say?”

Zachary had thought that Bailey had taken a fancy to one of his projects when she asked for help. He had even thought about the recent and upcoming projects and was prepared to give Bailey any project she wanted. In the end, Bailey actually asked him to accompany her to catch Xavier in the act. Was she joking?

Bailey repeated, “I said, Xavier cheated on me. I want you to help me catch them in the act. I want to ruin that scumbag’s reputation.”

Bailey could actually handle this matter alone, but she just wanted to find a chance to get involved with Zachary. Otherwise, how was she going to be with Zachary if he was always so mysterious?

Zachary held his forehead and was speechless. He asked, “Didn’t you already catch evidence of Zachary being with your cousin just now? That necklace.”

Bailey took out the necklace and said innocently, “I deliberately tricked Xavier with this. I know that he has an affair with my cousin, but I don’t have any evidence, so I can only spout nonsense. All’s fair in war! Anyway, my cousin often comes to my house to use my things. She probably doesn’t even know if she really took this necklace.”

Zachary shook his head. As expected of the scheming Ms. Shear. She spoke as if she was telling the truth, but in the end, she was lying.

“Okay! I’ll help you!” Zachary agreed to this without any difficulty.

Bailey smiled and said with curved eyes, “Then I’ll wait for your news? You decide on the plan, and I’ll be in charge of checking it. As long as it passes, then…”

At this point, Bailey paused and leaned forward. Her tone was tinged with lust as she whispered into Zachary’s ear, “I’ll sleep with you and we’ll reach the heavens together!”

That delicate voice enveloped Zachary’s ears with heat. A ticklish feeling quickly spread from the tip of his ear. Zachary’s entire body went numb. Just as he was about to pull Bailey over and counterattack, Bailey slipped away like an agile loach.

Zachary gritted his teeth in anger. When the time came, he would teach Bailey a lesson and cause her to be unable to get off the bed for three days. Only then would she know that men were not so easy to provoke.

Bailey did not know Zachary’s thoughts. She only knew that this time, it would end with her final victory.

Zachary, whose desire had been aroused by Bailey, could only book a room. He gritted his teeth and muttered Bailey’s name. His resentful tone was as if he wanted to completely dismantle Bailey into his stomach. At the same time, he quickly resolved his desire that he had nowhere to vent before returning to the banquet hall.

Today was Second Grandpa’s birthday banquet. As a junior, he had to show his face.

As soon as Bailey returned to the banquet hall, everyone looked at her again. It was obvious that they were still interested in the gossip.

Bailey carried a glass of white wine and walked towards the birthday boy, Shawn. It was not good for her to break up with someone during his birthday banquet, so it was only right for her to apologize.

Shawn was the younger brother of Zachary’s grandfather, which means he was Zachary’s little great-uncle. Shawn had accompanied Zachary’s grandfather to bring the Gaston Corporation to success as the second-in-command. It was said that when he was young, he was also a handsome young master of an aristocratic family. It was a pity that he was unmarried for his whole life.

As soon as Bailey walked up to Shawn, everyone’s expressions were a little indescribable. Shawn was not present just now, but it did not mean that no one had told Shawn that Bailey had slapped someone at his banquet.

On the other hand, Bailey bowed to Shawn generously and apologized calmly, “Second Grandpa Gaston, I didn’t control my temper just now and disturbed Second Grandpa’s esteemed guests. I deserve to be punished. I hope Second Grandpa isn’t in a bad mood because of me.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she gulped the glass of white wine into her stomach. Bailey, who had no food in her stomach, was almost burned by the spicy taste of white wine.
