Chapter 73
The moment Kylie thought about what Samuel had done to Owen before, her heart sank.
Herclear eyes stubbornly met Samuel’s cold, sharp gaze. She tried to explain, saying, “I only came here to pick some Purple Frost Root. I didn’t expect to run into
Owen.”
“It’s almost midnight. “Samuel sneered. “It seems like you two have a lot to talk about after reuniting after so long.” He let out a morking Laugh. “Picking some Purple Frost Boat? If you keep ‘picking“, are you going to end up in bed next ?”
His face was as dark as the night sky. It was obvious be didn’t believe a word she said.
For a split second, an absurd thought flashed through Kylie’s mind – was Samuel acting like this because he thought he wasnatching her in the art ?
Without wasting another second, Samuel turned and left, not sparing Kylle another glance. It was as if she were nothing more than disgusting trash that offended his eyes.
With a “bang“, the omately carved wooden door slammed shut.
Meanwhile, Logan had been outside in the courtyard, standing in the cool night breeze. He was deep in thought and nearly jumped out of his skin at the door being
slammed shut.
He cautiously glanced at Samuel,
Samuel’s face, usually unreadable, was now twisted in a fury that could bum the entire world down.
What the hell just happened?
Did he rush all the way here in the middle of the night only to be turned away? Or was it his first time, and he performed so badly that he got kicked out?
As Logan came up with his speculations, the intricately carved wooden door was suddenly pulled open again.
This time, Kylie and Owen stepped out together.
“Shit!” Logan couldn’t help cursing. He blinked hard, thinking he might be seeing things.
But he wasn’t mistaken–that was Owen
“Damn it.” Without hesitation, he switched on his flashlight and hurried to catch up with Samuel
The more Samuel thought about what he saw, the angrier he got.
He had been forced into marriage last time. But this time, he had willingly come here only to embarrass himself.
How ridiculous
He was walking fast, and Kylie had to run just to keep up with him. She was panting as she shouted, “Samuel, stop right there!
However, Samuel ignored her, and his figure soon disappeared down the stone steps.
“Ower.” Kylie anxiously nudged him. “Go stop him! Explain everything!”
Owen’s expression darkened slightly “Do you have to marry him?”
Kyle finnly replied, “Even if I can’t marry him, I don’t want this to end because of some stupid misunderstanding
“Besides, this isn’t fair to you. You’ve already been dragged into this because of me. Who knows what kind of trouble is waiting for us now? Owen let out a sinall sigh and furrowed his brows. “Fine. I’ll explain.”
He then took off after: Samuel without hesitation.
“Mr. Venice,” he called out, quickly catching up.
Samuel coldly smiled
Kylie hadn’t chased after him herself. Did she give up that easily?
She was indeed acting
Samuel’s furious gaze locked onto Owen. “Have you fushed your heart–to–heart session! Did you come quer to offer yourself up next?”
Owen met Samuel’s icy state and suddenly chuckled “Mr. Vance, Kyls and I lave known each other ever since we were 11. Regardless of whether or not she gets married or has children, that won’t change the fact that we’re friends do you think she married you for your money and power?”
Besticked. “Are you overestimating your wealth and status? do you just have no confidence in yourself?”
