Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 434: Chapter 437: Joan Wellington, Something’s Not Right

Skye Brown thought to herself, this Ian Moore was truly a born troublemaker. Elegant and charming, yet wickedly suave, he was a textbook enemy of women. Fortunately, she had already heard about Ian’s past “remarkable achievements” from Lily Gray.

She knew that he had only fleeting interest in any woman.

If he wants her to be in charge, she’ll do it.

Anyway, in less than a month, Mr. Wellington would shift his focus and set his sights on another woman.

“Alright, I’m going upstairs… You and Miss Wellington can head to the banquet hall first.”

Skye greeted Joan Wellington who was following them from behind.

Ignoring Ian, she followed the manager and left.

It wasn’t until Skye’s figure had walked far away that Ian turned his head to look at his little sister, who had been trailing behind, seemingly preoccupied.

The teasing in his eyes had faded away, replaced by an alluring and mysterious gaze.

“Joan… What are you thinking about?” He reached out and ruffled his sister’s hair.

Normally, Joan would have swatted his hand away and complained not to mess up her hairstyle.

But now, she could only give him a surprised look.

Her eyes dimmed and quickly lowered her head.

“No, I didn’t think about anything… I just stayed up too late last night and I’m a bit drowsy…”

“Really?” The doubt in Ian’s eyes grew deeper.

As if he had thought of something, he suddenly asked with a smirk, “You don’t still have lingering feelings for Brother Ethan, do you? Joan, I’ve told you before, Ethan is not suitable for you, nor are you suitable for him.”

“Brother, don’t talk nonsense, I stopped liking Brother Ethan a long time ago!” That youthful admiration and infatuation melted away as she grew older and saw the truth.

“If that’s the case, then why are you so absent-minded? Joan, you haven’t told me the truth.”

Ian leaned close, his beautiful features enlarging before Joan’s eyes.

Joan, frightened, retreated two steps back.

“There’s nothing… Brother, can you stop messing around? Instead of worrying about me here, you should be more concerned about your new girlfriend!” Joan bypassed Ian and walked unhappily towards the hotel.

She and Ian were both familiar with the Lucas family, so even without an invitation, the familiar manager at the door let her in.

Watching Joan’s retreating figure, Ian squinted his eyes once again.

It was clear that Joan was hiding something from him.

Something was off, very off.

On the other side, Skye followed the manager to the lounge on the third floor.

“Miss Brown, Young Lady is inside. Please wait for a moment.”

The manager brought Skye to the door.

Knock on the door.

The person inside only opened the door slightly.

The manager spoke a few words with the waitress who opened the door, then tactfully stepped aside, not daring to look into the room.

The person inside said to Skye, who was standing outside, “Miss Brown, Young Lady has been waiting for you for a long time. Please come inside.”

Only at this moment did the door widen enough for a person to pass through.

Skye sidestepped into the lounge, immediately being dazzled by the bustling and luxurious scene.

Three full-length mirrors hung side by side in the room.

Bustling around with various pieces of jewelry, clothing, and accessories, the waitresses scurried across the thickly-carpeted floor of the lounge.

In the spacious room, Lily Gray was reclining on a magnificent and comfortable lounge chair, her arm propped on a cushion, with two more cushions supporting her back.

Gently lifting her head, she quietly complied with the makeup artist who was touching up her makeup.
