Chapter 715 Dave To The Rescue
He had only turned away for a moment to exchange pleasantries with some acquaintances, and in that short span, Alice had disappeared from his sight. Now, he found her standing before Hera, offering his so-called ’assistance’ to a woman he didn’t even know.
His brows furrowed in displeasure. Though he was a notorious playboy, he despised having women handed to him like offerings. He much preferred the chase—the thrill of reeling them in like a seasoned fisherman.
To him, the satisfaction lay in catching his prey through his own efforts, savoring them until he grew bored, and then discarding them in favor of his next conquest. That was how he had always played the game.
"Alice, what are you talking about?" Brother Lei asked, his voice laced with displeasure as he shot a glance at the woman Alice was referring to.
However, the moment his eyes landed on Hera, he froze. Her cold, aloof expression was like a queen regarding an insignificant pawn—utterly indifferent, as if she were watching someone orchestrate their own downfall. His irritation instantly transformed into intrigue, and a glint of excitement flickered in his eyes.
Alice, standing beside him, noticed the change in his demeanor, and her anger flared. She had intended to use Brother Lei as a weapon against Hera—to humiliate her in front of everyone and offer her up as a sacrificial lamb.
That way, she could not only maintain her own purity but also satisfy Brother Lei’s desires, making it a win-win situation.
But now, seeing his reaction, Alice’s carefully laid plans seemed to be slipping through her fingers.
After all, Alice was well aware of Brother Lei’s preferences and aversions—she had meticulously researched every "fish" in her tank, referring to the men who hovered around her, showering her with gifts and vying for her attention.
