"Uh... I wasn’t following you. I just ca out for so fresh air myself," Leah Thorne tried to show her goodwill.
Tanya looked at Leah Thorne, "Are you interested in Cain Shaw? Want to know more about him from ?"
Leah Thorne froze, doubting herself. Did she make it that obvious?
Tanya’s palm-sized oval face was cold and indifferent, her autumn-like eyes sparkled with a vigilant light, "I saw you standing outside my ward yesterday, but you didn’t look at , your gaze was tightly locked on Cain Shaw. It’s very obvious you’re approaching because of him."
"... You saw yesterday?"
"Yes, you’re so beautiful, it’s hard not to draw attention."
Suddenly praised, Leah Thorne, "..."
"If you’re here for Cain Shaw, let advise you: he’s not a good person, you’d better stay away from him and don’t be deceived by his appearance."
"Many won like him, cling to him, he seems to welco them all, his private life is extrely chaotic, so don’t fall for him." Tanya spoke the truth, even knitting her brows.
Leah Thorne had a bellyful of words but couldn’t utter a single one. She didn’t know what her brother had done over the years to leave such a terrible impression on Tanya.
However, Leah Thorne absolutely did not believe that her brother’s private life was chaotic or that he ssed around with relationships; she trusted her brother’s character.
Then a deep, magnetic voice ca from behind, "Tanya Sullivan, it’s the first ti I hear you speak so much. You’re actually gossiping about behind my back, saying bad things about !"
Leah Thorne quickly turned around; Cain Shaw had arrived.
Cain Shaw ca grandly with a group of his n, the people in the corridor were already frightened and retreated, hands in pockets, his steps casual yet steady. A man of six-foot-three, with handso brows and eyes, exuding a wild and charming deanor that was both intimidating and irresistible to look at.
At that mont, a passerby rushed from around the corner without watching the road and bumped into Cain Shaw, dropping the report sheet from his hand, trembling in fear, "Sorry...I didn’t an it..."
"Hey, what’s your problem?" One of the n quickly stepped forward, shoved the passerby, and pointed at him, "You dared to bump into our boss? Are your eyes useless? If apologies worked, why would we need the police?"
The subordinate arrogantly yelled in the corridor, acting like a bully.
Cain Shaw had his hands in his pockets, raised an eyebrow, and then kicked the subordinate’s butt, "What are you doing? We live in a civilized society now, be decent."
The subordinate quickly rubbed his sore butt, giving a cheeky smile, "You’re right, boss, it’s all my fault."
Cain Shaw, "Hurry up and pick up all the reports from the floor."
"Yes." The subordinate swiftly gathered the scattered report sheets and handed them to Cain Shaw.
Cain Shaw stepped forward, took the passerby’s hand, and stuffed the papers back to him, smiling gently, "Don’t be afraid, we’re no thugs, we’re legitimate businessn!"
Cain Shaw spoke sincerely, smiling with noticeable crow’s feet, his dark, bright eyes glistening with a charming twinkle, surprisingly, bringing forth an irresistible allure.
The passerby was almost about to wet himself in fear, "I... I’ll get going..."
The passerby quickly ran off.
Cain Shaw watched the passerby’s back, touched his handso face, turned to his n, "Do I look scary?"
The n imdiately flattered, "The boss is the most handso man in the universe."
Leah Thorne, "..."
Tanya, "..."
Cain Shaw approached Tanya, reaching out to rudely pull Tanya into his arms, "You little brat, I’ve been supporting you, paying for your college, and this is how you repay , sullying my na?"
Tanya struggled quickly, but his iron-like arms held her tightly and easily restrained her. She glared up at him, "Does your reputation even need to sully it?"
"What are you saying? I’m not married yet, what’s wrong with having a few relationships, sleeping with a few won? That’s my freedom." Cain Shaw brazenly declared.
Tanya, "..."
Leah Thorne watched the two, quickly cleared her throat to indicate her presence, "Ahem!"
At this point, Cain Shaw lifted his gaze, setting it on her face, seemingly noticing her for the first ti.
Leah Thorne looked at Cain Shaw in front of her, his face was different from her brother’s, seed like two entirely different people, but her heart thumped wildly. This must be the bond of blood; she was already certain that Cain Shaw was Mort Thorne, her brother!
Cain Shaw held Tanya casually, glanced at Leah Thorne, "Who are you? At first glance a beauty, but unfortunately, your right face is destroyed."
Cain Shaw’s gaze brushed over the scar on Leah’s right cheek lightly, seeming indifferent, yet a dark glint flashed deep in his eyes.
"Boss, I want to say sothing to you." Leah Thorne stepped forward, tiptoed close to Cain Shaw’s ear, and whispered a few words.
Cain Shaw showed no expression.
"Boss," at this point, his subordinate rushed over, "Carney Shaw is here."
Carney Shaw had arrived.
The Shaw family had two adopted sons, Carney and Cain. Before Cain, Carney was very favored, but with Cain’s arrival, Carney’s favor waned. Now most of the power was in Cain’s hands; hearing the difference in titles "Boss" versus "Brother" clearly showed Cain had always been ahead of Carney.
However, the old Shaw would not allow Cain to dominate alone. Carney and Cain had a mutually restraining relationship.
Leah Thorne already sensed the subtle atmosphere. The visit from "Brother" seed to tense the atmosphere imdiately. Not wanting to cause trouble for her brother, she quickly moved aside, blending into the crowd.
At this mont, Carney’s laughter echoed, "Haha, boss, why did you suddenly co to the mainland from Starfall City? You’re not kind, playing by yourself and not inviting to join."
Upon hearing this voice, Tanya’s hands hanging at her sides quickly clenched into fists, her eyes flashed with cold light.
At this mont, she felt the palm on her shoulder suddenly tighten, and Cain Shaw’s voice ca from overhead, "Go in, don’t co out."
Tanya looked up at Cain Shaw; the man was so tall, she had to look up. He appeared casual and unrestrained, as usual, but sohow seed a bit different.
Cain Shaw’s palm turned, pushing her into the ward, "What, didn’t understand what I said?"
Simple and domineering words, forceful and leaving no room for objection. Tanya looked at his trimd, neat, and resolute nape.
