Chapter 153

Jennifer froze. It took her quite a while to steady her heartbeat.

With a cold smirk playing on his lips, the man gripped her chin with one hand and said, "Impressive. Making a scene at the ball because of jealousy, huh? Did you and your sister happily sign up to be treated like playthings?"

Jennifer understood his insult. She forcefully pushed his hand away and retorted, "Mind your words! Maxwell Lance, even if I'm being toyed with, what does it have to do with you?"

"Is that so? Let me show you just how much it has to do with me, then!"

In an instant, a glint of menace flashed across Maxwell's eyes as he suddenly pulled her closer.

With a swift turn, he pressed Jennifer firmly against the cold door.

"Maxwell, you!"

Jennifer refused to believe he would act recklessly. After all, people would pass by outside at any moment.

It was not until she saw the flicker of desire in Maxwell's icy gaze that she realized she was wrong.

There was nothing he would not dare or could not do.
