    Chapter 648


    Maisie turned her head around


    Where is Ryleigh?


    Ryleigh rinsed her face with water in the restroom and looked astonished.


    Although he was wearing a mask, that middle-aged man is Helios’ uncle if I’m not mistaken. And the


    woman standing next to Helios’ uncle is definitely not his aunt. Is Helios’ uncle cheating on his wife?


    ‘No, I have to go back and have another look


    Ryleigh picked up her mask immediately and walked out of the bathroom. She had just put on her mask


    when she bumped into someone at the corridor s corner


    She staggered backward, and the man supported her in time. She then heard a familiar voiceing


    from above her head before seeing the person “Pyleigh Hill?”


    Ryleigh held onto her mask and raised her head instantly. Although the tall man in front of her was


    wearing a mask, his jawline looked extremely familiar, especially when it came to his voice


    “How can you still recognize me?” She adjusted her dress.


    Louis deep scoff came from the top of her head. “I can


    recognize you at a nce and from miles away just by looking at your body figure.”


    Ryleigh froze in ce for a split second and took a deep breath. “Louis Lucas, will you die as long as you


    don’t get to mock me with my figure?”


    Louis inserted his hands into the pockets of his trench coat. “Why are you here? Who did youe here


    with?”


    “That’s none of your business.” Ryleigh was so angry that she was about to leave.


    Louis grabbed her arm, dragged her back, and stepped forward to block her way. “Does Uncle Hill have


    the money to allow you toe to such a ce and go on a spending spree irresponsibly?”


    Ryleigh grabbed him by the hem of his cor, stood on tiptoe, red at him, and gnashed her teeth. “I’m


    not here to spend money. I’m only here as apanion, will this do?”


    The top of Ryleigh’s head was barely on the same level as Louis’ shoulders while she was standing on


    tiptoe. His height eventually overshadowed all the domineering aura that she exuded.


    Louis looked down at the little dwarf, who could not even look straight at him on the same level even


    when she was on tiptoe. The petite woman looked so tiny, as if she was a kitten that was about to jump


    up and scratch his face. Thus, he lowered his body abruptly.


    Ryleigh, who was already on tiptoe, stepped back on the floor subconsciously as soon as he leaned


    forward, and she hit the wall with her lower back.


    Looking at the panic on her face, Louis suddenly felt like teasing her. “It’s a pity that standing on tiptoe


    won’t do you much. It seems that I can only sacrifice my stance…”


    He propped his arm against the wall beside her, and his face was erged as he came closer and


    closer-it was so close that he was practically inches away from kissing her on the lips.


    Ryleigh’s hand that was gripping his cor tightened instantly. Thinking that he was about to kiss her, she


    closed her eyes tightly.


    After a long while a scoff passed by her ears. “Are you expecting me to kiss you?”


    Ryleigh pushed him away abruptly. He was pushed backward, but he regained his bnce in an instant.


    You crazy piece of sh*t!” she shouted and ran away without looking back.


    Louis watched her silhouette disappear into the corner, rubbed his chin, and fell into contemtion.


    Ryleigh returned to the raw gemstone exhibition area angrily. Maisie and Barbara had alreadypleted


    their tour around the hall, looking at the raw gemstones disyed in the entire area. Seeing that Ryleigh


    seemed to have been annoyed, Maisieughed and teased her. “Given your stance, did you leave us to


    go fight someone?”


    “I didn’t fight anyone. It’s just that I ran into someone that I despise.” Ryleigh was about to explode with


    wrath.


    Maisie quickly understood who Ryleigh was referring to when she said she saw someone she despised


    because the figure in the crowd was still very

    eyecatching


    “You girls would actuallye to take a look at a gemhunting event?” Louis walked toward them as he


    recognized them.


    Maisie gave Ryleigh a meaningful sideways nce and smiled. “It turns out to be you, Louis. Are you


    interested in gem hunting too?”


    Louis shrugged. “I came here with my mother. She asked Aunt Boucher toe here and get first-hand


    experience on gem hunting today. But Helios wasn’t free today, so I could only apany them here.
