    Chapter 84 Crash and Burn


    Serenity nodded with a smile. Then, she sat down a fair distance away from them with her lute in her


    arms. In no time, the crisp and sweet strains of music floated in the room. Meanwhile, the otherdies


    eximed jokingly, “Don’t purify yourself, Mr. Road! We love you as you are.”


    Chuckling, Alex remarked, “That makes sense. Mr. Nn here is chaste, so I’m your only hope. How


    does the saying go again? If I don’t sacrifice myself for the greater good, who will?” “Pfft…” Thedies


    giggled, while Ss shot him an affronted re. “You should have a care lest I throw up at that gross


    remark!”


    Unfazed, Alex leaned close to him with curiosity written all over his face. “So, what exactly happened? I


    heard that you even crushed Harriet Grant? Isn’t there a coboration between Grant Group and Nn


    Group?” Downing his ss of wine, Ss replied with utter distaste, “She can’t manage her brother well,


    so I kindly helped her out!”


    “Her target was Cam Brooklyn, so what has it got to do with you?” Alex asked in feigned bafflement,


    craftiness concealed in his eyes. “Could I have just ignored it when she was right beside me?” Ss


    retorted. Alex arched an eyebrow even as he smirked slyly. “Really? Do you just like her that much?”


    Cutting him a re, Ss stubbornly dered, “What that man did was practically pping me across


    the face right before me, so I just didn’t like him. What has it got to do with liking her?”


    Alex curled his lips and eximed, “Cut that crap! Did you think I don’t know you? When have you, Ss


    Nn, ever loved poking your nose into someone else’s affairs?” “He just had toe and seek death,


    so what could I do?” Ss shot back. Alex exchanged a look with Hayden. “You’re sure you don’t like


    her?” “He can’t admit it even if he does. After all, Ss is the kind of person who’s used to being


    pursued.” After snubbing out his cigarette in the ashtray, Ss demanded with a disdainful look, “Do you


    two even know what liking someone means?” The two of them shared a look before they burst out


    laughing. “Indeed, we’ve never saved any damsel in distress, unlike you.” “Let me ask you this-what


    were you thinking back then?” Alex asked. “Nothing,” Ss answered perfunctorily.


    Alex’s expression turned knowing. “That’s it. It’s game over for you. It’s exactly such subconscious action


    that’s most terrifying! It seems like you’ve been taken down without you even having realized it.” Ss


    was rendered speechless for the very first time. Actually, he was thinking at that time. When he heard


    that the man wanted Cam to sleep with him, his only thought was to kill that man. Perhaps it was


    because they’d been teasing him, but he abruptly recalled the time when he saw her during the grand


    competition. I was truly happy back then, delighted even. Could it be that… I have really developed


    feelings for her? The next day, Cam was in the studio, keeping an eye on things since the renovation


    was about to be done when she suddenly received a call from Ss just moments after she’d arrived,


    asking her to go over to Ruby Pce. While he didn’t specify the reason, she knew that he wasn’t the


    kind of person who’d ask her out for no reason, so she readily agreed and drove over to Ruby Pce


    right away. Since she’d been here once, she was familiar with the ce. The moment she went in, she


    noticed a huge crowd gathered in the lobby. As she was wondering what was happening, she heard a


    woman’s furious bellow. “Ben Roberts, what do you take me for? A back-up lover? Aren’t you on a


    business trip?” Stifling his anger, the man proimed, “I just came back, okay? She’s just a client, so you


    don’t need to get all suspicious.” After taking two steps further, Cam caught sight of the person who


    was speaking at a single nce. The man was casually dressed in ck, his expression as dark as


    charcoal. On the other hand, the woman was wearing a red dress, her face brimming with profound ire.


    Meanwhile, the woman standing beside the man was L. Recognition dawned upon her. Aren’t these


    two people the couple I bumped into when I bought a car? Ben Roberts and Jessica Smith. Huh? Are


    they crashing now? Inexorable joy inundated her. I just knew that they’re going to crash and burn sooner


    orter. She then squeezed further to the front. Her face bright red with fury, Jessica sneered. “A client?


    Ben Roberts, I’m truly impressed that you managed to cook up such an absurd lie! Which part of her


    screams client?”C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
