"Explain." Sean stopped and turned to Layla.Just as he'd expected, she was hiding something from him."The truth is, Karl Jackel is harassing me. He wants me to be his girlfriend. I've rejected him a lot of times before, but he's relentless. He's holding this party for me, so—""So you want me to p
In the VIP lounge on The Mirage, Diego looked at Sean reverently and asked, "Sire, did you find any clues at the Jackels'?""Not yet." Sean shook his head. "However, I did learn from Miller that he'd bought my mother's house from a mysterious person back in the day.""And you believe him?""I don't.
"Keep being stubborn," Lindsay said. "But just watch out for Karl. If you anger him, you'll be in trouble."To her, no representative was powerful enough to stand up to the Jackels, especially since they were backed by the Xenoses.Worst of all, Sean and Lucas had a grudge, too.Lindsay rubbed her t
"You want me to make myself scarce?" Wayne scoffed. "You really think very highly of yourself, don't you? I'll have you know that Mr. Karl is the one with the power at this party!"Do you even know who he is? He's the heir of the richest family in Skye City, and Mr. Xenos'---""I don't care who he i
"You—" Wayne blanched.Lindsay and Layla also looked at Sean in surprise.They hadn't believed Sean when he'd called Diego, either. How did he manage to get all those companies to break off their partnerships with Wayne?Did he really have that many connections?Before they could ask, Wayne came bac
Layla's heart skipped a beat out of fear. She'd always felt scared when Karl smiled at her. All she wanted to do was to get as far away from him as she could.When Layla didn't answer, Karl's expression darkened again. "Fuck off," he said to Wayne."Me?" Wayne was shocked.Was Karl kicking him out o
The entire hall became pin-drop silent.Everyone stared at Sean, wondering who he was to be so brave to say that to Karl's face."Layla has a boyfriend?" As expected, Karl's expression darkened further."That's right," Sean said with a chuckle."Who?""Me."Gasps sounded from the audience.Layla sta
"Do you know who you're speaking to, punk?" Onstage, Karl's expression darkened. This was the first time in his life that someone had challenged him!"Who?" Sean pretended not to know."Do you know the Jackel family?" Karl asked darkly."Haven't heard of them before," Sean said with a grin."What an
"Quickly, hold your breaths and hide your presence!" Amelia instructed in a low voice.Everyone suppressed their breaths and hid in the bushes.In the sky, a swoosh echoed, and tracking waves radiated through the air. Upon failing to detect the presence of any vital energy, they quickly left.After
"What? Did you say that Grandma and the others are here?" Selene's heart skipped a beat."Yes! Hide yourself!" Sean said urgently.Suddenly, they heard a swoosh, and before they could move a muscle, the sounds of wind breaking resounded in the forest. The strongest presence amongst them had already
"First time?" Startled, Sean then realized what she was speaking about and chuckled awkwardly. "Yeah, it was. What's the matter?""That explains it." Selene had a confident look on her face, as if she were now sure of something. "What do you mean?" Sean asked, puzzled."That explains why there's su
"Would you like to expose Zephyr's scheme?" Sean asked in a deep voice when he saw the iciness in Selene's eyes."Yes." Selene nodded. The disgust she held for Zephyr was undisguised in her tone."The Ten Great Families are still in the dark; even if both of us combine forces, we're far from being Z
"Selene, I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I couldn't control myself." Upon hearing Selene's low mumbling, Sean felt the numbness in his scalp intensify.Even though he had been forced to take action in this incident, he took the initiative to claim the responsibility. After all, Selene was at
Selene moaned softly, gradually waking up.Sean took in a sharp breath and felt his scalp turning numb. This was bad! He hurriedly got up, wanting to clear up the scene.However, when he looked at the clothes strewn across the floor, he knew that it was too late to dress Selene and cover her body.
Sean's body tensed, his mind resonating with a thunderous roar.Before he could react, Selene's soft lips pressed firmly against his. Her tongue, sweet yet tentative, explored his mouth.In an instant, heat ignited within Sean like a wildfire. Unable to restrain himself any longer, he swiftly pushed
"Selene, what are you doing?"Sean's heart skipped a beat as Selene suddenly embraced him from behind, resting her head against his chest.He sensed that if this continued, it could lead to serious trouble.At that moment, Selene's breath hitched.The sensation of Sean's body pressed against hers, a
Sean's eyes widened in shock. He had never expected Selene to kiss him so passionately!Her lips were remarkably soft, and her tongue moved with nimble grace, despite her lack of experience. Fueled by the ambergris, her kiss was intense and fiery.At that moment, Sean felt as if he were about to mel
