His Sweet Menace novel

---- Chapter 13 Charles understood what I meant. The next time he came to the Moore residence, he would have to break off his engagement to Lilith and marry me instead . Charles nodded and watched me walk back into the house. After a month, Lilith was losing her mind with jealousy. At first, she sent me calm threats. Later, they turned into angry insults. I saved every single message but hadn't shown Charles yet. "Shayla, you shameless tramp!

How dare you come back!" Almost the moment I walked in, Lilith rushed at me in rage. "You fake nobody! You actually think you can take my place? You seduced Charles! He wants to break off the engagement with me now!" Lilith gripped my wrist tightly. My wrist still had a burn injury. It had healed, but it still hurt. Patrick and Andrea were also home, both looking grim. They ordered the housekeepers to surround me. ---- Clearly, they had been waiting. "Mr. and Mrs. Moore, what are you doing?

I came back for my final payment. Weren't you planning to arrange for me to go abroad?" I put ona shocked face, looking very innocent. When they heard me, they froze in disbelief. "Are you serious?" Lilith's face darkened. She raised her hand to slap me. "You bitch! Still acting? Charles is obsessed with you. If you run off abroad, don't you think he'll come after my parents?" She didn't believe I would give up Charles and leave the country. It made sense that she didn't trust me.

Going abroad was actually another scheme of mine. I was just playing hard to get so Charles would fall for me completely. He cared about me now, but it wasn't enough. I wanted to leave once so he would realize how important I was. I wanted him to treasure me like something priceless. I blocked her hand and said firmly, "Ms. Moore, I know I'm not good enough for Mr. Bowman. At most, I would only be his lover. A woman like me could never marry into the Bowman family.

"One day, when I get old, he'll lose interest in me. The ---- Bowmans are the richest family in Grouchester. They would never let someone like me have his child." Hearing this, Lilith calmed down a little. "At least you know your place. Glad you're aware of it!" "But since Mr. Bowman is interested in me right now, don't you think you should pay me more?" I brought up money. That made Lilith calm down even more. She sneered. "Shayla, you're so greedy.

Aren't you afraid you'll push your luck too far?" "Can't help it. If 1 don't leave Mr. Bowman, he'll probably give me a lot more. So if your offer is too low, I might just change my mind." Iacted like a gold digger. I fooled not just Lilith but Patrick and Andrea, too. "Money's not a problem. But Shayla, how can you guarantee Charles won't still be hung up on you after you go abroad?" Lilith just wanted me to stay away from Charles , so she was willing to pay whatever I asked. "That's easy.

I can just put on a show with Horace." Lilith didn't understand why I mentioned Horace. I chuckled, then laid out my plan.
