Chapter 30: Pinned on the Sofa
Kayla was stunned, her grip loosening a bit.
Aria, thinking she had scared Kayla, hurriedly added some lies, hoping to thoroughly intimidate her, “This is Mr. Han’s lounge. If word gets out that you were having an affair with another man here, it won’t just bring shame to the Seatowne police, Mr. Han won’t let you off either!”
Kayla turned her head to look at Ethaniel.
Seeing all three women looking at him, Ethaniel lowered his eyelashes indifferently, his violet eyes mostly hidden, but the sharp glint in them flickered as he coldly glanced at Aria and asked, “You’re not him. How do you know he won’t let us off?”
Aria was startled by his gaze, her heart pounding. This man’s aura was too strong.
Having attended numerous high-profile business gatherings since childhood, but compared to this man, those elites were not even worth mentioning!
Swallowing hard, Aria stammered, “Mr. Han is a guest in Seatowne. You think he would be happy with what you’re doing in his lounge…”
“Heh.” Ethaniel casually raised his eyelashes and walked out of the shadows.
In the clear light, his youthful and handsome face looked even more attractive!
Violet, who hadn’t spoken much, finally saw Ethaniel’s face clearly. Especially his violet eyes-one look and she was frozen.
Sam had once described Ethaniel’s appearance to them, saying his most distinguishing feature was his eyes.
Ethaniel had violet-colored eyes.
The answer was obvious: such a powerful aura, handsome features, and those distinctive violet eyes.
As the heir of the Lacroix Family and the head of the Goldenshore Group, no one else could fit that description except the man standing before them.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“Ethaniel!” Aria’s eyes widened in disbelief.
They had gone to great lengths to get close to Ethaniel, and now he was right in front of them. But what had she just seen?
Kayla and Ethaniel were kissing!
Why was Kayla involved with him?
How could Ethaniel be interested in Kayla?
Countless questions bombarded the two women, who didn’t notice Kayla, equally upset.
Knowing Aria, if they were taken to the police station, the incident would become public knowledge before they even left the convention center.
It didn’t matter to Ethaniel; it wouldn’t affect him at all.
But Kayla couldn’t afford that. She still had to work at the police station until retirement. Moreover, she represented the Seatowne Police Department, and her image was more important than anything else.
Weighing the pros and cons in her mind, Kayla decided to let the two women go.
Released from the handcuffs, Aria’s face looked even worse as she demanded, “What is your relationship with him?”
“None of your business,” Kayla replied coldly, putting away the handcuffs. “Leave now. Don’t try any more tricks. If I catch you again, you won’t be so lucky.”
Aria was still indignant, but Violet discreetly tugged her hand, so she could only glare at Kayla reluctantly and say, “Kayla, don’t forget your surname.”
With that, she rubbed her sore wrist and headed for the door.
As they passed Ethaniel, both Aria and Violet slowed down, secretly eyeing him.
This legendary figure, the richest man in the world, was so close…
Whether because of his wealth or his person, the two sisters were uncontrollably moved.
Just as they were about to leave, a cool, elegant voice suddenly sounded behind them, “I won’t hold you accountable for trespassing in my lounge, but if anyone else finds out about today’s incident, you both know what the consequences will be.”
“… Yes.” Aria didn’t have the courage to look back and quickly left.
The lounge returned to silence. Kayla relaxed her tense arms and sat on the sofa, lowering her head without speaking.
Is she wilted?
Ethaniel leisurely sat beside her, his long legs casually crossed, and whispered in her ear, “Just now, were you jealous?”
Kayla’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Ethaniel. “Who was jealous? Where do you get the nerve to say something so shameless?”
Unperturbed, Ethaniel raised an eyebrow, ignoring Kayla’s disdainful attitude. “I’m not a fool.”
His perfect thin lips curved slightly as he confidently answered, “I know you were jealous, and it was obvious. You have a strong sense of possession over me.”
Kayla felt utterly exasperated. She had always thought of Ethaniel as a cold, sharp-tongued, shameless man. Now he had another trait: thick-skinned.
Outraged, Kayla began to speak without thinking, “Do you think you’re money, loved by everyone? I wouldn’t be jealous of you, let alone possessive. There are so many men out there; I’d like anyone but you! I don’t know what’s wrong with Aria and Violet’s eyes to fancy you. I’m nothing like them. The more they like something, the more I hate it. I hate them, and I hate you even more!”
Ethaniel’s narrowed violet eyes gleamed. Very well, how dare she say such things to provoke him!
As soon as Kayla finished speaking, she was forcibly pinned onto the sofa.
