Chapter 32 Truth or Dare Zaden answered coldly; his face betrayed nothing. "Yeah" That was enough to count as an admission. 67 Finished Lewis's face darkened. His grip on the glass tightened, and anger boiled up inside him. The other night, when he asked Athena, she had tried to fool him. "Athena is my wife!" he snapped. Zaden's lips curved into a cold smile. His deep eyes gleamed with mockery as he looked straight at Lewis. "So you knew," Zaden said. "Funny. I thought the one living in the villa was your real wife." Lewis said nothing. He was struck speechless. The sarcasm was clear. It stung even worse because the villa he shared with Nina sat close to Zaden's. Every time they drove in or out, it was easy to spot Zaden's car. Lewis felt as if Zaden was looking down on him. His fists clenched, and he gave a sharp warning. "I hope you know your place, Mr. Storm. Athena is a married woman. Stay away from her. Don't even think about making a move on her." Zaden's face stayed calm, but his gaze was as deep as a bottomless sea. Then he asked, "Mr. Belmont, do you know about Athena and Professor Warner?" Lewis was baffled by the question. He remembered Athena saying she was having dinner at her professor's place. Kate Wagner was her professor? That didn't make sense. Athena had no medical training. Lewis laughed coldly. "That's the same excuse she gave me. You really think I'm dumb enough to buy it?" Zaden's lips curved again, his tone filled with disdain. "That's a shame." 1/3 14:41 Sat, Oct 18 Chapter 32 Truth or Dare Lewis frowned. The answer made no sense. Was Zaden just trying to brush him off? He wouldn't be fooled. Zaden didn't bother to explain further. Lewis was proud and arrogant. He never truly valued Athena, nor did he understand her strength. Zaden felt it was a shame. Someone as talented as Athena had hidden her light. It wasn't Athena's fault; it was Lewis who couldn't see her worth. 67 Finished "I don't care how Athena managed to hook up with you," Lewis said sharply. "But from now on, you'll stay away from her. If you don't, I won't be polite about it. We're in the same circle, Mr. Storm. You don't want this to get ugly." Lewis stopped talking and laid everything out between them. Zaden shot him a cold look. "Mr. Belmont, are you trying to tell me what to do now?" It sounded like a joke, but the contempt behind it was clear. Lewis's anger flared even more. The worst part was-he couldn't do anything about Zaden. His family power and wealth far outmatched the Belmonts. When it was time to cut the cake, neither of them said another word. Lewis didn't touch the cake. He just kept drinking, one glass after another. He tried to make up for all the time Athena had kept him in check. But no matter how much he drank, the anger inside him wouldn't go away. He didn't know when Athena had gotten involved with Zaden, or how she had managed it. The thought made his blood boil. Lewis's eyes shifted, scheming flashing in his gaze. He suddenly smiled and suggested, "Just sitting here drinking is boring. How about we hype it out and play a round of Truth or Dare?" The crowd agreed right away. Since Lewis had suggested it, he naturally took the role of host and judge. His eyes gleamed with a sharp confidence. If the bottle landed on Zaden, he would finally have the chance to put him on the spot. 213 14:41 Sat, Oct 18 Chapter 32 Truth or Dare Everyone sat in a circle. 67 Finished Lewis placed a bottle on the table and said, "Here we go. Whoever it points to has to play." He gave it a spin. The bottle slowed and stopped right on Zaden. Lewis smirked. It felt like fate itself was helping him. Finally, the perfect chance to make Zaden squirm. "Mr. Storm, Truth or Dare?" Zaden met Lewis's hostile grin without a flicker of fear. His face stayed calm as he replied, "Truth." "Good," Lewis said quickly. He leaned forward, his voice sharp. "Zaden, are you chasing after another man's wife? Trying to steal her away? How far have you gone? Did you sleep with her?" The questions came fast, each one cutting and direct. The others had thought this would be just a lighthearted game. But as they listened, they sensed something was off. Lewis's dark face said it all. He looked like a man who thought he'd been cheated on. The crowd started to catch on. Wait a second! Did Zaden actually sleep with Lewis's wife? No way. That couldn't be true. Could it? Zaden suddenly chuckled. Leaning back against the couch, completely calm, he said, "Mr. Belmont, the rule is simple- one question per round. You've already asked too many." "You-" Lewis's eyes darkened, his expression turning icy. Send Gifts 150 ( 3/3 14:41 Sat, Oct 18 From Betrayal to Brilliance Her Rise to a New Life
