"Won like you are truly disgusting." Back in the suite, he hadn’t drunk much of the wine that was brought in later; Gia Miller, on the other hand, had drunk quite a bit. It wasn’t that he suspected anything was wrong, he just wasn’t in the mood. Who would have thought that just closing his eyes for a mont would lead to this?
Unwilling to give up, Gia Miller grabbed Tristan Grayson’s clothes. "Tristan, I really do love you. Please, just give one chance, won’t you?" ’She couldn’t let Tristan leave. If he left this ti, she would never have another chance.’
"Get lost! A piece of trash like you wants to compare yourself to Maggie or Mika? Why don’t you take a look in the mirror and see what a ss you are." As he spoke, Tristan Grayson ruthlessly kicked her away. He pulled his phone from his pocket and dialed Aiden Avery’s number. Aiden’s anxious voice ca from the other end almost imdiately. "Tristan, how are you?"
"I’m fine. Coming down now." Tristan responded coldly, hung up, and glanced mockingly at Gia Miller. He watched her cling to the doorfra, barely able to stand, and the smirk on his face widened. "Miss Miller, you seem to be in quite a bit of discomfort?"
Gia Miller’s eyes were glazed over. Her voice trembled as she pleaded, "Tristan... help ..." ’A mont ago, she’d only felt a little uncomfortable. Now, she felt like she was burning from the inside out, desperate to pin Tristan down beneath her...’
"I’ll help you. I’ll find soone to help you." Tristan sneered, stuffed his hands in his pockets, and headed downstairs.
"Tristan Grayson, you’ll regret treating like this! My brother won’t let you get away with it!" ’Gia Miller knew Tristan Grayson was ruthless, but she never imagined he could be this cruel.’
Tristan’s lips curled into a dismissive smirk. "Is that so?"
Watching Tristan leave just like that, Gia Miller was filled with rage and resentnt. She staggered to the banister, gripping it for support, and scread down at Nanny Archer, the maid who was enjoying the show from below, "Nanny Archer, are you blind? Didn’t you see that I’ve been drugged? Hurry up and call my brother!"
"Oh, yes, Miss." Nanny Archer feigned a startled expression and replied quickly, before scurrying off to the living room to make the call.
When Tristan Grayson stepped out of the Miller house, he saw Leo Joyce gripping two n by their collars, while Aiden Avery was leisurely leaning against a car, smoking a cigarette.
He shot Leo Joyce a displeased glance. "What’s he doing here?"
Hearing such an ungrateful remark the mont he walked out, Leo Joyce instantly flared up. He shoved the two n aside and roared, "What the fuck, you think I wanted to be here? If the little miss hadn’t asked to help, I couldn’t give a damn about your ss!" ’No good deed goes unpunished!’
’After all, he’d taken down both these bodyguards with his own two hands. There was no way a frail-looking pretty boy like Aiden Avery could have won a fight... It wasn’t that he looked down on his future brother-in-law, but Aiden probably couldn’t even win a fight against his own sister, Alia... ’
Aiden’s expression soured at Leo’s words. He gave an awkward cough and said, "Er... well, Tristan, Leo Joyce did co to help. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have been able to find you so quickly."
Tristan shot Aiden a cold, unhappy look. Suppressing his irritation, he turned to Leo and said stiffly, "Fine. I owe you one."
Leo, who had been furious just a mont before, instantly brightened up at Tristan’s words. He walked over, chuckling, and clapped Tristan on the shoulder. "Don’t ntion it! When Alia marries into our Joyce Family, we’ll all be family. If you need anything, just ask. As long as it’s sothing I, Leo Joyce, can do, I’ll do it without a second thought!"
Hearing this, Aiden stepped forward and slapped Leo’s hand off Tristan’s shoulder. "Get off! Who’s family with you? Tristan, ignore him."
"Brother-in-law, you can’t just cast aside now that you’ve used !" Leo retorted, not letting it go.
"So what if I am? My Alia isn’t right for you, so you can just give up." ’He could tolerate them being friends for now, but as for taking things any further? Not a chance.’
At that mont, Leo was still determined to win over his future brother-in-law’s favor. He had no idea that, at this very mont, Alia had already beco involved with Cassian Jennings. Nor did he know that, completely unbeknownst to him, she was about to leave his world for good...
As a result, his heart would wait bitterly for many years, but she would never co... (But that is a story for another ti...)
Listening to them bicker, Tristan only grew more annoyed. His head was starting to throb... He spun around and grabbed Aiden by the collar. "Aiden Avery, are you sure you’re not hiding sothing from ?"
"Tristan Grayson, are you crazy?! What could I possibly be hiding from you?" Aiden was completely blindsided by Tristan’s sudden accusation.
"You’d better not be!" Tristan shoved Aiden away and got into the car.
Aiden stood there, completely baffled. ’Who did I piss off? I ca here to rescue him in the middle of the night, and this is the thanks I get?’
「Inside the car.」
Alia Avery and Cassian Jennings were both drenched in sweat, panting heavily as they held each other tightly.
Cassian’s mind was now completely clear. His hands, wrapped around Alia, were trembling. ’What had he done? He had actually... done that... to Alia...’
’The girl who had followed him around since they were kids, calling him brother... and he had...’
’He couldn’t accept this. He couldn’t forgive himself...’
After a long mont, Alia lifted her blushing face from Cassian’s shoulder. "Cassian..."
Cassian’s face was dark as he pushed her away. "Forget this ever happened!"
"Forget it?" Alia’s voice trembled with shock and disbelief.
"Alia Avery, I can’t be responsible for you!" Cassian closed his eyes, his voice laced with anguish. "From now on, let’s not see each other again!"
"Cassian..." ’She had never expected him to take responsibility. She had done this willingly. But hearing those words from his mouth still hurt so, so much.’
"You can drive the car back. Don’t bother sending soone to return it to ." Cassian straightened his clothes, opened the car door, and got out.
’So, this was his paynt to her?’
Alia clutched her clothes to her body and stumbled out of the car after him. Tears stread down her face as she cried out, "Cassian Jennings, are you sure you never want to see again?"
"Yes. I think it’s better if we don’t et again, to avoid the awkwardness... or becoming enemies."
"Becoming enemies?" ’Alia found it laughable. Utterly, terribly laughable. Enemies? Is that what they would beco in the end?’
Cassian’s eyes were cold. He stuffed his hands in his pockets and strode forward. He didn’t answer her. ’But he thought that, given her relentless and fiery temper, they probably would end up that way. The next ti they t, they would surely be enemies.’
Alia pointed at Cassian’s retreating back and sank to the ground in anguish. "Fine! Go, Cassian Jennings! Just go! We’ll never see each other again! If we ever et again, I, Alia Avery, will be your sworn enemy!"
Cassian’s body trembled almost imperceptibly. Then, without a mont’s hesitation, he walked away until he was out of her sight.
