Lingering Passion: Mr. Sutton Wants to be Your Male Lead!-Chapter 113: President Sutton in the Shadows
Stella Grant’s words were full of sarcasm.
Silas Sutton held her without rebutting, his deep voice laced with a chuckle, replying with equally intriguing words, "Well, indeed, you don’t have to have been with countless women, but having a couple more girlfriends might prevent acting like such a connoisseur."
Having said this, Silas Sutton lowered his head to lightly bite Stella Grant’s crimson ear lobe, his voice husky, "Stella, do you think I might fall in love with you one day?"
Stella felt a shiver across her skin, and warned with a frown, "Silas Sutton!"
Silas Sutton responded with a casual ’hmm’, "I’m here."
Just as the tension between them was about to ignite, a sudden ring came from Stella Grant’s phone tucked in her pocket.
Stella took a shallow breath, and turned her head slightly to speak to Silas Sutton, "Let go."
With a smile in his narrow eyes, Silas Sutton tightened his grip instead of loosening it. He leaned closer, stretched out his hand, took out the phone from her pocket, and pressed the answer button.
The phone was on speaker, and as soon as it connected, Sue Woods’ excited voice came through, "Stella, guess where I am now?"
Not wanting Sue to catch on to anything, Stella feigned calmness, "Where?"
Giggling, Sue Woods replied, "Portmere!!"
After saying that, Sue asked like she was seeking praise, "Surprised? Unexpected? We happen to have a shoot location here in Portmere tomorrow morning."
Stella, "..."
Behind her, Silas Sutton chuckled.
Sue Woods, sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, "Stella, why do I hear a man’s voice on your side?"
Stella turned to glare at Silas Sutton, responding, "No, it’s the TV."
Sue teased, "Tsk, I thought it was that dog Silas Sutton chasing you to Portmere."
Sue is always like that, silent until she strikes, then she makes a big impact.
Not just impactful, but terrifyingly so.
If people truly have three souls and seven spirits, Sue would definitely scare the soul out of someone.
Sue was still on the phone bad-mouthing Silas Sutton.
Meanwhile, Silas Sutton leaned closer to Stella’s ear and said, "Just how much badmouthing have you done behind my back, hmm?"
Stella’s heart clenched tightly at his words.
She hadn’t.
But she couldn’t argue.
Sue continued to ramble on, but when she got no response from Stella, she lowered her voice and said, "Stella, do you know about Silas Sutton’s fiancée?"
Worried Sue might say something horrifying, Stella hurriedly interrupted, "Where are you?"
Sue replied, "On my way to your hotel."
Stella, "I still have something to handle here, let’s talk when you get here."
Sue didn’t detect the unease in Stella’s tone, and continued, "I’ll tell you the details when I see you, but let me just say, Silas Sutton’s fiancée is head over heels in love with him. You know that model he was rumored with recently, right? I heard Charlotte Shelby confronted her directly at the shoot today, completely disregarding her image as the Shelby Family’s eldest daughter, and got into a big fight."
Stella remained silent.
Sue thought Stella was shocked by this, sighed, and said, "They say women are trouble, but when men become troublemakers, they’re even more disastrous."
Every time Sue mentioned Silas Sutton, it was nothing but negativity.
Between the lines, there was nothing but depreciation and caution.
Silas Sutton listened without any visible reaction, but in line with his ’troublemaker’ persona, his big hand slid past Stella’s waist, moving upwards.
Stella struggled a few times, but couldn’t break free, and could only clench her teeth.
Afraid that any peculiar sound might give her away to Sue.
Silas Sutton seized on this, becoming bolder, his large hand covering her softness, coaxing by her ear, "Stella."
Stella pressed her lips together, refusing to make a sound.
With a devilish grin, Silas continued, "Why not break up with Ray Woods and be with me?"
Stella forced out two words through her red lips, "In your dreams."
Silas chuckled, amused, "I see, do you think this feels like the pleasure Flynn Shepherd had sneaking around behind your back? There’s a saying, wives aren’t as good as concubines, concubines aren’t as good as secret affairs, and secret affairs aren’t as good as the unattainable ones..."
While Sue was still on the line, Stella was leaning against the door, barely able to stand.
Just as Stella was about to burst into anger, intending to hang up and confront Silas, there was a sudden knock on the door from the outside.
Stella and Silas both froze.
The next second, Sue’s cheerful voice came from outside the door, "Stella, open up, surprise!!"
Stella, "..."
Silas, "..."
More than ten seconds later, Stella pushed Silas into the bathroom.
The door opened, and Sue hugged Stella with a mix of pride and smugness, "Meeting an old friend in a strange place, isn’t it great?"
Stella was getting suffocated by Sue’s hug, "Mm."
Sue, "Let me give you another surprise!"
With that, Sue released Stella, stretched a hand towards the wall, and pulled someone over.
— It was Ray Woods!!
Sue, "Even happier now, my brother is here too."
Stella pressed her lips together, her facial expression had gone beyond stiff, all she could describe it as was petrified.
Inside the bathroom, with the labels of ’the other woman’ and ’cheat’, Silas Sutton listened to the events outside, his narrow eyes half-closed, cool and indifferent but with a hint of malice.
