How Sure Are You?

He thought of Claire Bennett's breathtaking face and graceful figure. Lust emboldened him, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I agree."

...

Sienna Shaw and Molly Lee arrived at the hotel where Ian Walsh was staying.

While the two of them were still waiting for the elevator, a voice came from behind them. "Sienna Shaw, Molly Lee, wait!"

They turned around and were surprised to see Wes Mercer.

Leaning on a cane, he hurried over. He seemed to have come too fast, and his face was a little pale. Sienna Shaw hadn't expected Wes Mercer to show up at all, and she asked in surprise, "Why are you here? Your injury hasn't healed yet. Hurry back to the hospital."

"No, you can't go see Ian Walsh!" Wes Mercer said sternly. "That man is no good. The two of you going to his room alone is way too dangerous. If he tries to do anything to you, you won't have any ability to fight back at all."

"We..." Sienna Shaw and Molly Lee hesitated.

Actually, they knew it was very dangerous too, but they really wanted to help Claire Bennett.

While the three of them were talking, Willow Lane came out of Ian Walsh's hotel, and unexpectedly ran right into them.

The moment Willow Lane saw Wes Mercer, her expression instantly turned ugly.

She had once thought Wes Mercer was Mr. Sterling and had fawned over him in every possible way. Now that she knew he was only a lowly assistant, her eyes filled with contempt.

"What are you doing here!" she demanded darkly.

Wes Mercer hadn't expected to run into Willow Lane either. Back then, she had cruelly dumped him just because he wasn't Mr. Sterling. At first, he really had felt guilty for hiding the truth from Willow Lane, but later he gradually came to terms with it.

Although he had been at fault in this matter too, Willow Lane had also left him because she despised poverty and chased wealth.

He no longer needed to cling to those things from the past.

Thinking that, Wes Mercer felt much more at ease when he looked at Willow Lane again.

Sienna Shaw and Molly Lee knew Ian Walsh was staying here, and they also knew Willow Lane couldn't stand Claire Bennett. Now that she had appeared here, was she trying to get Ian Walsh to do something again?

Sienna Shaw stepped forward two paces and pressed, "Willow Lane, did you come here to see Ian Walsh? What are you trying to do to Manager Song this time?"

When Willow Lane heard that Sienna Shaw actually dared question her like this, her expression immediately turned nasty. "What's it to you!"

She suddenly reached out and shoved her hard.

Caught off guard, Sienna Shaw staggered back a step and crashed into Wes Mercer's arms.

She remembered that Wes Mercer was still injured. Her collision just now must have hit him hard, and it might even make his injuries worse again.

"Are you okay?"

"How are you?"

The two of them spoke in unison, then each shook their heads and once again said in unison, "I'm fine."

Seeing them like this, Willow Lane narrowed her eyes.

Willow Lane looked down on Wes Mercer now, but a woman's possessiveness was at work. Seeing the man she had dumped get together with another woman so quickly still left her feeling a little unwilling to accept it.

"Wes Mercer! I can't believe you have such terrible taste, falling for trash like Sienna Shaw!"

Hearing Willow Lane's words, Wes Mercer frowned tightly.

What nonsense was she spouting?

Willow Lane looked haughty and arrogant as she gave a cold snort. "With your status, the only thing you can get is something like Sienna Shaw. What a joke!"

After saying that, she looked at Sienna Shaw with cold eyes and sneered sharply, "Sienna Shaw, a man I threw away is only a treasure to someone like you. One piece of garbage and one liar—you two really are a perfect match!"

After mocking Wes Mercer and Sienna Shaw, Willow Lane finally turned her head proudly and left.

Molly Lee had been standing behind them listening to everything Willow Lane said, and she felt extremely shocked.

What Willow Lane had just meant was that she had dumped "Mr. Sterling"? But hadn't she always been bragging that she was with Mr. Sterling?

She then remembered what Wes Mercer had said at the hospital earlier, about how he wasn't Mr. Sterling.

Maybe he really wasn't Mr. Sterling. That was why Willow Lane had abandoned him after learning his identity.

Sienna Shaw also looked at Wes Mercer with mixed feelings. She didn't have the same thoughts as Molly Lee; it was just that she and Willow Lane had never gotten along either, and now that she had heard Wes Mercer had once been with Willow Lane, she felt a little uncomfortable inside and didn't know what to say.

How could he have fallen for a woman like Willow Lane?

Looking at the expressions on their faces, Wes Mercer took a deep breath. "Let's get out of here first, then we'll talk."

The three of them left Ian Walsh's hotel and went to a late-night street food stall.

They ordered some skewers, and Wes Mercer bought a bottle of liquor. Sienna Shaw was still a little worried about whether his body could handle drinking right now.

But Wes Mercer was in a terrible mood. He needed alcohol to numb his nerves and ease the gloom weighing on his heart.

Next, Wes Mercer gulped down half the bottle before slowly beginning to tell them the whole story about Willow Lane from start to finish.

Starting from when Willow Lane first approached him, to how her concern and attentiveness later moved him. Wes Mercer had been an orphan since childhood, and deep down he was extremely insecure and very easily touched. He quickly fell for a Willow Lane who seemed so gentle and considerate.

He just had never expected that once he revealed he wasn't Mr. Sterling, Willow Lane's attitude would change by a full one hundred and eighty degrees.
