Midnight Bride The CEO's Temptation

Chapter 1717 - 235: So, This Is The Famous Michelle

Paul stared at Nancy for a long time without speaking. Finally, after a long time had passed, he took out a brassiere from his pocket and said, "Raise your hands."

Nancy gave him a nervous look and asked, "Why?"

"Don't ask why," Paul replied. "If you don't want me to take Clark away, then be obedient." Although Nancy did not know what he was going to do, she felt like she had to do what he said. She raised her hands, and he put her bra on for her. Then he took out a pair of panties and helped her step into them. This made her feel weird. It was the first time that he had dressed her, and not only did it make her feel like a helpless child, but it also made her feel like he had a hidden agenda.

Once Nancy's underwear was on, Paul helped her put on the clothes that Noah had brought with him. Paul was very satisfied with Nancy's obedience, and he rubbed her messy hair in the same way that someone else would rub their pet cat or dog.

Nancy wanted to run, but she was on a very short leash as long as Paul had Clark.

"Do you still want to leave?" Paul asked.

"As if what I want matters," Nancy complained. "Why do you even bother to ask...?"

"Too true." Paul put his hands on her head and rubbed it for a while. "I do like to make a point, though," he explained. About half an hour later, he stopped petting her, and he said, "You treat my home like it is a hotel, and you think you can just leave whenever you want? It is not a hotel, though, and you cannot leave whenever you please. Unless I let you go, you will not be allowed to leave."

Nancy was about to say something, but before she could get a word out, there was a knock at the door. "Who's there?" asked Paul.

"It's me, Crystal," said Crystal. "Is Nancy awake?"

Nancy took a quick look at Paul, and she hoped that Crystal's appearance would open an opportunity for her to get away. "I'm awake!" she replied quickly.

"Do you feel better?" Crystal asked. "I'm coming in…."

"Wait a minute!" Nancy exclaimed. The evidence of her being assaulted surrounded the bed. If Crystal came in, she would definitely see what had happened, and she would probably laugh at her. "I need to put on my clothes. Can you wait for me in the living room?"

Crystal heard a hint of nervousness in her friend's voice, so she insisted. She said, "There is a guest downstairs, so I should wait for you here."

"A guest?" Nancy glanced at Paul, and when she saw that there was no change in his expression, she realized that he already knew. Paul rubbed her head like a pet dog, and he showed no sign that he would stop.

"Your guest is here," Nancy said. "Are you going to do this all day?"

Before he could reply, a servant knocked on the door. "Master," she called. "Michelle is back..."

When Paul heard Michelle's name, he threw Nancy on the ground and went out to greet her. Now that the door was open, Crystal walked in, and she could tell right away that her friend had been brutally assaulted. "Are you okay?" she asked.

Nancy was sitting on the floor, and she had a blank expression on her face. The knowledge that Michelle was back had really caught her off guard.

Crystal hunkered down beside her and waved her hand in front of her eyes. "Earth to Nancy," She said. "Earth to Nancy. Come in, Nancy. Come on. Tell me what's wrong."

Finally, Nancy told her everything.

"Well, that's great!" Crystal exclaimed. "If Michelle is here to distract Paul, he will be less interested in assaulting you, and it will be easier to take Clark away."

Nancy nodded, but she said nothing. She did not know why, but her heart hurt.

Crystal looked her friend over, and she saw the bruises and cuts. This is not good - she thought.

"What now?" asked Nancy.

Crystal grabbed Nancy's hand, helped her stand, and then she said, "Let's go downstairs. Noah is still waiting for you. We should go and find him."

The thought of Noah waiting downstairs made Nancy smile, and she allowed Crystal to lead her out of the bedroom. Noah was waiting for them at the end of the hallway, and when Nancy saw the gentle way that he looked at her, she could not believe that she had ever loved a hard man like Paul.

Crystal hoped that Nancy and Noah would fall in love for real, but she knew that it couldn't happen unless they had some alone time together, so she turned to Nancy and said, "Well, I'll go down first. Eric is waiting for me. Why don't you two get to know each other a bit?" After speaking, she hurried downstairs.

****

Eric was sitting on the floor in the living room with his legs crossed and playing games on his phone. At the door, the bodyguards were holding a woman captive. The woman's eyes were blurry. Her cheeks were red and were drunk.

She probably doesn't even know how terrible she looks - thought Eric. Her make-up was smeared so badly that she was barely identifiable. Her hair was also messy. Her clothes were wrinkled and torn. The bodyguards had needed to dress her in a long jacket to cover her genitalia, but she was so drunk that she was not ashamed of her appearance.

When Crystal came down the stairs, she was shocked by the woman's appearance. So, this is the famous Michelle - she thought - Not at all what I had expected... She was so shocked that her jaw dropped open, and it nearly hit the floor.

Soon, she felt Eric's gaze on her. She looked at him, and in a tone dripping with sarcasm, she said, "Your friend has such great taste in women!"
