The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2312

Toast with me?

Before I could react, Gorden took a glass of red wine from the waiter to his right and stretched it toward me.

Seeing the sinister smile on his face, I knew there was something wrong with this glass of wine.

My smile gradually froze as I stared straight at Gorden in front of me with a hint of disdain in my eyes. "Your purpose for coming to this dinner party is not to seek cooperation but to cheat others."

Gorden's face suddenly changed when he heard my words. He narrowed his eyes, his expression darkening. "Miss Lane, you’re speaking nonsense. I just want to get to know you since we share the same surname. Why would you say I’m cheating?"

I knew at a glance that Gorden was a habitual offender from the way he spoke without embarrassment.

Who knew how many young women had been ruined by him?

Resentment welled up in my heart. I smiled, took the red wine in his hand, and swung it at him as I looked at him. "You know very clearly yourself if I’m talking nonsense or not."

He looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to our side, Gorden daringly took a step forward with a fierce look on his face. "If you have any sense, be good and drink this glass of wine. I can give you whatever you want!"

I stared at him with a half-smile. There was an aura of explosive dissatisfaction enveloping my body. This kind of person was either a second-generation heir or had relied on a windfall instead of his own ability to get to where he was today.

I lowered my head and glanced at the glass of wine, smiling slowly. "You seem powerful, President Lane. Powerful enough that you can help people get whatever they want."

Thinking that I had taken his bait, Gorden's sharp face softened again. "Of course. As long as a beauty serves me well, I can fulfill whatever requests she wants."

"Since you’re so powerful, President Lane, can you teach my enemy a lesson?" I pretended to think and winked at him even though I was reluctant.

"Of course. Who’s so bold as to bully a beauty?"

I smiled coldly. Was this guy serious with his lies?

"Well, what do you plan to do if Theo Grant were to appear here now?"

"If he dares to come, I’ll definitely show him. I’ll scold that brat!"

Gorden did not expect Theo to be at a small dinner party like this, which was why he dared to speak like that.

However, there were surprises in everything.

I narrowed my eyes slightly, light flashing through them as I looked at Gorden while emitting a sense of danger. "President Lane, you might as well look behind you." I motioned for him to look back.

Doubt appeared on Gorden’s face as he turned his head to look…
