On the way, Walter pulled out his phone and called Lola before launching into a furious tirade.

"Lola, I can help you, but you must delete all the photos. Otherwise, I'll release your nude photos online. Let's see who will be humiliated then.

On the other end of the call, Lola's face had turned stark white when she heard of the nude photos. The hand holding her phone up was shaking as she sobbed.

"Darling, I've deleted the photos. Please come over and pay for me."

"Go over there to go viral with you? Lola, take the ten million as a breakup fee. Don't ever let me see you again," Walter harshly barked out as his body trembled in anger.

"If you break up with me, you'll have to get someone else to seduce Lance Fenton at Cloudstone Corporation's party. I won't do it."

Walter loudly slapped his forehead as he had forgotten about that in his anger. He hurriedly softened his tone and said, "Sweetheart, I was just angry. Don't take it to heart. If you help me seal the deal with Cloudstone Corporation, I won't just be giving you ten million. I'll even give you one billion."

The contract with Cloudstone Corporation was hard to secure. Walter had been trying to get Lance to sign it for months, but the latter kept avoiding him and making excuses. Eventually, Lance said he would consider it depending on Walter's show of sincerity.

Walter had thought of using Lola's charms. On the day of the celebration, he would have Lola seduce Lance. If anything happened between the two of them, the contract…

It would be offered up on a silver platter.

"One billion? Do you think I sell myself?" Lola snarkily asked. "Ten billion, or it's off!"

"Fine. After the deal is done, I'll give you ten billion."

Lola instantly regained her confidence and haughtily said, "Words are not enough. Give me 50 million right now as a deposit."

Walter stood in the doorway of his home, wishing he could smash his phone out of anger.

However, he currently did not have a better candidate, so he reluctantly agreed. After all, the contract with Cloudstone Corporation was worth dozens of billions. He did not want to just give up on that.

Anyway, he could figure a way out of the promise later.

Lola was stupid and easy to fool, after all.

"Alright. I'll give you 50 million first."

Shortly after, Lola was notified of the transfer.

"Remember, you must seduce Lance. Otherwise, I won't give you a single cent, let alone ten billion."

Lola hung up and loftily walked back to the cashier with her phone in hand to shout at the salesperson.

"I'll pay for the bracelet as well as the earrings that Miss Austin liked. Also, I want this necklace."

After the phone call, Lola started splurging like she was very rich, shocking the sales staff.

"Get me the highest tier VIP card as well. I'll be coming here often in the future, and my minimum monthly spending will never be less than ten million."

Lola went to pay with an attitude that was as arrogant as could be.

The sales staff did not dare to serve her as the CEO had instructed them not to let Lola into Splendor & Co. again. Thus, they called their superior who then contacted the CEO about this.

When Bradley received the call from Harry, he was getting cozy with Freya in the car. The abrupt call ruined his mood and made him very unhappy.

"What is it?"

Harry's voice was shaking as he said, "Sir, the manager of Splendor & Co. just called saying that Lola wants to apply for the highest tier VIP card with a promised monthly spending of no less than ten million. How should this be handled?"

Bradley had the call on the speakerphone, so Freya heard every word said. Before Bradley could speak, she answered Harry.

"Do it but with the condition that she has to pay a monthly fee that won't be refunded if her spending for the month is less than ten million."

All of a sudden, Lola had a lot of money to splurge. That meant her sugar daddy was supporting her.

Freya was suddenly curious about Lola's sugar daddy. Just who would be willing to sponsor Lola's extravagant lifestyle?

She immediately called Ella to have this benefactor investigated.

Soon, Ella called back.

"Lola's benefactor is a very reputable real estate tycoon in the city called Walter Keating. He has made quite a lot of money in the recent years through his investments. He's nouveau riche, Freya."

"You might not know this, but he's actually on his second marriage. He has a step daughter named Diana Smith."

Diana?

The name made Freya raise her eyebrows.

If her memory served her right, Diana was the name of one of Lola's friends.

During Bruce's birthday banquet, Diana was the one who loudly demanded for an examination of Lola.

How interesting.

Of all the people Lola could have chosen, she decided to hook up with Diana's stepfather.

"Also, I hear that Walter is currently negotiating for a deal with Cloudstone Corporation. At the upcoming celebration, Walter would be bringing Lola and Diana along as his guests."

Freya narrowed her eyes.

The celebration had not started yet, but she could already imagine how spectacular it would be.

After Bradley finished his conversation with Harry, he noticed the eerie smile on her lips. That made him wrap a hand around her waist and pull her into an embrace.

"Baby, who are you on the phone with? Why are you so happy?"

When Ella heard the nickname "baby", she awkwardly cleared her throat. "I'll send you the guest list soon. If you're busy, I'll hang up now so that I'm not interrupting your date with Mr. Bradley."

Ella immediately hung up.

Freya looked up at Bradley in exasperation as she thumped his chest with a fist. "Mr. Bradley, we're home. Go back to the office."

However, Bradley did not want to let go as he kept staring at her face.

"Baby, how I wish I can keep you in my pocket so that we'll never be apart."

His deep voice echoed in Freya's ear, sending shivers down her spine.

She pushed him away and coyly said, "You're annoying." She then opened the door and scrambled into the house.

If he kept teasing her, she would end up losing control.

Bradley watched her run off with his lips curved in a smile as his tall figure leaned back against the car seat.

The driver then turned to cautiously say, "Sir, Miss Jordan has disembarked from her plane. Will you be picking her up yourself?"

It was only then that Bradley looked away with a dark look on his face.

"Have Harry escort her back to the private villa for some rest."

"Yes."

The driver did not say anything before he started driving away from the Royal Garden Mansion.

Bradley took a pack of cigarettes from his suit pocket. After sniffing one of the cigarettes he pulled out, he placed it in his mouth but did not light it.

This whole time, his phone had been constantly ringing.

He knew who the caller was, but he was with Freya. He did not want to be disturbed by anyone.

Eventually, he lit the cigarette.

The gray smoke obscured his face from view as he looked at the name "Juliet Jordan" displayed on his phone. It made him incredibly annoyed.

She evidently would not stop calling until he answered her calls as his phone screen had just dimmed before it lit back up again.

In the end, he put out the cigarette and answered the call.

Soon, her soft and gentle voice could be heard. "Brady, I've landed. When will you be picking me up?"
