Phoebe blinked in surprise. Earlier, she'd regretted losing the opportunity to give Connor a show by kissing Gideon. But now, it turned out that he'd watched it from the shadows.That explained the stalking and snatching of the cup—Connor was upset and jealous.Naturally, this whole outburst was really about Gideon. It had nothing to do with her.Phoebe had never been more grateful to work at Spectrum Group. It was the reason she had met Gideon. Without him, she would have had no way to fight back whenever Connor came looking for trouble.Right now, just thinking about how his loss of control stemmed from her kissing the man he hated most filled her with a rush of satisfaction. She finally had the upper hand.For once, the cold fury in Connor's eyes actually pleased her. She smiled and said disdainfully, "The kiss is nothing. Wait until I actually sleep with him. You can throw your tantrum then."In the past, when Phoebe had said that, Connor had brushed it off as an empty threat

Connor stared unblinkingly into Phoebe's eyes, his own glinting coldly. If he hadn't just demanded a kiss, she would've thought that he wanted to strangle her.A man's fragile ego was honestly laughable. So, this was Connor's true weakness. All she had to do was refuse, and it would hit him harder than anything.She left out a mocking laugh and turned her head away. Her wrists were still bound by his belt, so she couldn't break free. If they weren't, she'd have already slapped him hard across the face.Connor stared at her profile, her rejection written clearly across her face. That made his tumultuous heart sink lower and lower. He forcibly turned her face back toward him, a faint ferocity twisting his features. "You won't even look at me now?""I can't even be bothered to waste my breath on you," she curtly said.For the first time, Connor realized how deeply a person's rejection and indifference could cut. He'd only wanted Phoebe to soften and submit to him. If she had, he woul

This was Connor's house. The sight of Gideon there was something Phoebe had never anticipated, leaving her utterly stunned.He wore just the dress shirt from the dinner earlier. He usually kept every button fastened, but now, the top two were undone. It gave him a slightly less polished edge than his typical refined demeanor, yet it only amplified the intimidating chill he carried. Phoebe couldn't even bring herself to meet his eyes.Gideon saw the tears on her face. This was probably the first time he had ever seen her like this. His hands balled into fists by his sides, and he swept a cold gaze over her. Then, he locked eyes with Connor behind her, his gaze turning as sharp as blades.He was furious.Phoebe didn't dare say a single word. Only Connor could withstand the kind of pressure Gideon radiated.Connor's expression was just as cold and menacing. He already knew how Gideon felt about Phoebe, so seeing Gideon here didn't even surprise him.Since childhood, Gideon had alway

Before leaving, Phoebe glanced at Connor. When it came to a real fight, she couldn't take him on physically. She could only fire back with words that barely scratched the surface.Fortunately, Gideon was there. The sheer advantage of his strength was obvious, and for once, Connor had actually suffered a bit.The fury in Connor's eyes no longer affected her. She turned and walked away without another look back. When she stepped into the courtyard, she unexpectedly spotted Dahlia lurking far off in the shadows.Dahlia knew the villa's passcode. She feared no one, except Gideon. Phoebe figured that Dahlia must've had bad luck running into him and had probably opened the door for him, which explained how he'd gotten in.The moment Dahlia saw Phoebe, she hurried over. She had tried calling Connor earlier but had gotten no answer, so she'd driven over to confront him. However, she'd arrived practically at the same time as Gideon.The heavens only knew how shocked and panicked she'd been

The thought that Phoebe might have a private connection with her role model made Dahlia burn with jealousy. Phoebe had promised her that if she behaved, she would get to meet Sun.The temptation was huge, but Dahlia couldn't stomach being manipulated by someone she looked down on. So, she decided to investigate on her own. However, she had turned up nothing, which was why she'd come to Connor for help.She put on her sweetest voice and asked, "Can you help me out, Connor?"Connor wasn't nearly as obsessed with Sun as Dahlia was, but things were different if Phoebe knew her. He said, "Fine. I'll look into it.""You're the best!"Dahlia eagerly started applying the ointment for him.He stared at his wrists. The fact that Phoebe knew a top-tier racer suddenly explained why she drove so well. He was starting to realize that he didn't know her at all…The discovery left him feeling restless, but Dahlia's unexpected request gave him something else to focus on, calming him down a littl
