Xavier was stunned for a moment before reacting, looking aggrieved. “Serena! I wore this ridiculous thing just to come see you, and you’re making fun of me…”
He clasped his hands in front of him, looking pitiful. He really did resemble a wronged little wife.
Serena couldn’t hold it in anymore—she leaned over the hood of the car, laughing so hard she bent over.
Xavier tried to defend himself for a bit, but she kept laughing. In the end, he gave up, put his hands on his hips, and waited helplessly at the side.
Two minutes later, when her laughter finally subsided, he stepped forward and gently pinched her fair cheek. “You little rascal—always bullying me!”
Serena’s big watery eyes were full of innocence. “Mr. Blaze, don’t joke around! With your temper, who could possibly bully you?! Back in school, you were the little tyrant. And now with the title of the Blaze family’s he
At this moment, faced with irrefutable evidence, Karina finally broke down.She grabbed Xavier’s pant leg and burst into tears, “Xavier, I was wrong! Everything I did was because I loved you too much! It hurt like hell seeing you treat Serena so well! Why does she get your attention, while you’re always so cold to me?!”Xavier stepped back in disgust, pulling his pant leg from her grasp. “Your biggest mistake is never knowing your place! There’s nothing between us. What right do you have to meddle in my affairs?! Who I like, who I want to be with, who I care about—none of it is your business!”With that, he turned to Serena, bent down, and gently held her hand. “Let me tell you—this lifetime, I will only love Serena Knowles! No matter what tricks you pull, I will never feel anything for you!”Hearing this, Karina collapsed to the floor in disgrace, crying in despair.Brody stepped forward to a
Karina was the first to enter.As soon as she saw Xavier, her face lit up with a sweet smile. She approached him affectionately and said in a coy voice, “Xavier, why did you call me here? Was it to fulfill my wish of seeing the presidential suite?”Xavier curled his lip in disapproval. “Miss Carter, you’re overthinking it. I didn’t call you—it was him.”He casually gestured to Christan, who was standing nearby.Karina turned her head and, upon seeing Christan, her eyes curved into crescents. “Oh! It’s the Movie King! I’ve seen every drama you’ve acted in—I’m a big fan!”Christan nodded slightly but didn’t say a word to her.Next came Clint.Upon entering and seeing the room full of people, he asked in confusion, “Is there something going on?”Xavier shrugged in the same disinterested way. “They said there’s a good show coming up, s
“My… my name is Poppy Castano.”Poppy Castano?! Christan’s eyes flickered. The name sounded familiar.But he couldn’t place it immediately, so he stayed quiet and let her continue.“Miss Carter and I planned to teach that bitch Serena a lesson for always stealing other people’s men. So, we secretly found a homeless man, got him drunk, and even drugged the alcohol with an aphrodisiac.”“We told him there was a top-class escort staying on the 36th floor who only accepted high-status clients. If he could sleep with her, he’d have a story to brag about for life. And because of her special identity, she wouldn’t dare make a fuss—he wouldn’t have to worry about legal consequences!”Christan frowned and couldn’t help interrupting. “Miss Carter? Who’s that?”“Karina Carter, the heiress of the Carters. She said she’s Xavie
On the bed, the sheets were wrinkled and half-hanging off the side. The pillows and quilt were bunched up and tossed into a corner.Right in the center, a completely naked man lay sprawled out in a big ‘X’ shape, snoring loudly with his mouth wide open, sound asleep.There was a dried bloodstain on his temple.On the floor beside the bed, a beautiful woman was hastily pulling on her clothes with a flustered expression.Although Brody’s scolding wasn’t exactly quiet, it still failed to wake the sleeping man.The woman clutched the clothing she hadn't finished putting on against her chest, looking at the newcomers in panic. “I…”“Who exactly are you people?! This presidential suite isn’t your room—how did you end up here…?!”He didn’t finish the sentence, but everyone present understood the implication.The scene on the bed made everything painfully clear.Just moments ago, these two had clearly engaged in some very intense ‘action’ right there.At first, the woman lowered her head and
The entire room fell silent in tacit agreement.A moment later, Christan asked in a low voice, “Then how did you manage to escape? Especially with both feet injured?”Thinking back to what had just happened, the fear in Serena’s heart slowly gave way to anger.She gritted her teeth. “That bastard tried to get close to me, of course I fought back! In that moment, I didn’t care about anything—I just grabbed whatever I could and threw it at him! Thank god, a small porcelain bottle hit him right on the forehead. He collapsed, and I took the chance to crawl out.”Even though her tone still carried anger, her expression had calmed considerably.After she finished, Vega’s eyes turned red. She couldn’t stop herself from expressing relief. “Oh my god, thank goodness you were lucky and managed to get away! If that scumbag hadn’t been hit, I can’t even imagine what might’ve happened
In desperation, Serena grabbed whatever was within reach and started hurling it at him.The drunk dodged left and right, avoiding most of it.But his reflexes were dulled from alcohol—he couldn’t move fast enough.A ceramic ornament flew straight at him. He failed to dodge in time and took a solid hit to the forehead.It wasn’t big, but it was made of hard material. The impact sent his vision spinning, and with a heavy thud, he collapsed to the ground.Serena didn’t dare pause. Taking advantage of the moment, she dragged herself toward the door with all her might.From the doorway to the elevator was only a few dozen meters, but it took her nearly ten minutes to crawl that far.Leaning against the wall, she finally managed to press the elevator button. Every passing second felt like torture.At last, the elevator arrived on the 36th floor, and Serena scrambled inside like she&r
