Chapter 120


    “What are you doing?”


    Xanthea lifted her head, her eyes wide with rm, as if she were staring at a nuthless kidnapper:


    Ever since she got into the car, he had locked her in without exnation, and now he had her strapped


    to the seat, nning to take her to some remote area in the Everdes to spend the night. If this


    wasn’t the behavior of a kidnapper, what was?


    She thought crazed fans were scary enough, but he was proving to be even worse!


    “It’s dangerous to behave like this on the highway, Ms. Nightshade.”


    “I think you’re the dangerous one here! Let me go, drop me off at a rest stop, or else fim calling my


    uncle to tell him you’ve actually kidnapped me!”


    Onon looked at her, a faint smirk appearing in his deep eyes. “Go ahead, but do you really think Mr.


    Lopez will believe you, Ms Nightshade?”


    Xanthea’s heart skipped a beat, recalling the story of the boy who cried wolf. Especially since her uncle


    trusted Orion so much, he would surely think she was just ying pranks again. It infuriated her!


    She wished she could record his sinister smirk right now and show her uncle what kind of person he


    really was!


    “Orion, are you doing this on purpose? To get back at me for biting you earlier?”


    “You’re overthinking it, Ms. Nightshade.”


    Orion opened hisptop and began to review some contract documents seriously, seemingly no longer


    interested in engaging with her Seeing him disregard her like she was nothing. Xanthea felt a surge of


    anger and wanted to bite him again, but trapped in his car, she had no choice but to bow her head.


    “Onion, if you let me go now, we can call it even. From here on out, we keep to our own paths, okay?”


    “Hey, are you even listening to me?”


    “I mean, if it helps, I’ll let you bite me back!”


    Infrustration, she rolled up her sleeve and thrust her arm in front of him.


    Her fair, smooth skin glimmered in the light of theptop, catching Orion’s eye. He traced her arm up to


    her elegant curved neck, over her well–defined corbone, and finally rested on the enticing fullness


    above, his gaze darkening as his Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. “The ce Ms. Nightshade just bit, it


    wasn’t here.”


    Huh?


    Xanthea froze for a moment, looking at the fresh bite mark she’d left on his corbone. He wouldn’t


    want to bite her in the same spot, would he?


    The scoundrell

    She had fallen on him by ident, biting reflexively without thinking much of it. Now, such an intimate


    and ambiguous spot, if left with a bite mark or scar, could easily be misinterpreted as a love bite. She


    had filmingter on, absolutely not


    It seemed he was rejecting her offer.


    Hypocrite, kidnapper, jerk!


    Xanthea silently seethed, cursing him in her mind while forcing herself to close her eyes.


    It’s just one night, right? Just wait, once she got through this, she would find a way to get her revenge!


    The car finally fell into a long silence Cedric curiously nced in the rearview mirror and saw that Ms.


    Nightshade had fallen asleep – no wonder,


    Arguing herself to sleep amidst a quarrel, Ms. Nightshade was truly a unique character. And joking


    about letting him bite her back had ironicallye true.


    Actually, his boss hadn’t initially


    ily nned to take her to the Everdes, he made the decision just because he wanted to keep her


    away from those obsessive fans.


    But unbeknownst to Ms. Nightshade, amidst praising and genuinely admiring the Movie King, she


    inadvertently stepped right into Inion’s no–go zone, which really led to her being “kidnapped” by the


    President, truly an unfortunate turn!
