Chapter 16 Ethan bit a cigarette and looked at her with a smirk , " You really want me to bring this girl ? " Harper stood behind Ava , like a dandelion that couldn't straighten its back , ready to fall apart with a gentle breeze . " Ava , I don't need to go . " Ava pulled her , firmly saying , " You're going . Isn't Noah going too ? Let them spend more time together . It can't be bad . " " Noah is going , but " But he would bring his girlfriend , the actress . Harper going would seem like she was there to cause trouble , but that made it even more interesting . The resort villa had been open for three years . Most of the people who came here were well - known figures in Moridise . Harper got in through Ethan's connections . After three years , many of the buildings here were unfamiliar to her . Entering the luxurious and opulent place again , the first thing she thought of was her years of working in hotels and clubs to make money . Ethan was heading to the billiards room and threw the room card to Harper , " Go up by yourself . Don't embarrass yourself by coming out . " " Okay . " Harper dragged her suitcase and was about to leave . Ethan added , " By the way , Noah is next door to you . " This arrangement was intentional . Chapter 16 But Harper just wanted to marry Noah . She didn't care how many women he had or what he did with them . As soon as she entered the room , the sounds from next door came through . The moans were coquettish and boneless , enough to make any man submit . Among these sounds , Harper could sleep peacefully on the sofa . The knocking on the door made her rub her eyes and get up . Outside was Noah's girlfriend , who had taken a bath and changed clothes , clearly looking for trouble . " You really came . Can't you go a day without clinging to Noah ? " Her arm was suddenly grabbed . Harper was pulled out , and she quickly explained , " I'm not . I came with Mr. Walker . " It was Mr. Walker who told Noah that you came because he did . How cheap of you , always following us , right ? " - Standing in the north building of the villa . Ethan raised his champagne glass and clinked it with Mason's , a crisp " ding - dong " sound as the glass vibrated , " Women really know how to deal with other women . Do you remember the intern secretary who used to chase you around Mr. Brooks ?" How could he forget ? Just because the intern sat in the passenger seat of Mason's car and drove the drunken Mason home , Harper had deemed her no good , secretly complained to Mason's father , and got her fired . How Harper had treated others in the past was how others were treating Chapter 16 her now . " Mason , do you think she still dares to dream of marrying Noah this time ? " Mason drained his champagne in one gulp , stood up , and glanced down . " Don't do this again . It's really boring and pointless . " " Didn't you say she shouldn't have it easy ? " This was what Mason had said three days before Harper came back . In just a few days , his attitude had changed completely . Mason wanted to go back to his room , but was pulled by Ethan to the billiards room upstairs . He didn't bring up Harper again to avoid bad luck or upsetting Mason . The billiards room was mostly filled with men , with smoke swirling around . Two women , brought by someone , sat on the side . Mason leaned down to play , his knuckles pressing on the cue stick , the light flickering on his cold and handsome face . He outshone everyone else around him . One shot , and the ball went straight into the hole . The woman sitting nearby walked over , twisting her waist . Her hand , painted with red nails , grasped the cue stick , and then Mason's hand , her words full of flattery , " I knew Mr. Brooks was good at billiards , but I didn't expect you to be this amazing . " Mason pulled his hand away , unfazed . He took a piece of chalk and lightly ground it on the tip of the cue stick , then blew on it . The chalk flew onto the woman's face . She quickly stepped back , angry but still having to force a smile .
