Caspian Parker has always been gentle with people; it seems he's truly been angered by Alice Bell this ti.
"Who... who are you?" Stunned for a mont, Alice quickly snapped back to reality, her face flushed with anger.
The pain in her wrist felt as though it might shatter.
She closely examined the man, his brows and eyes gentle yet delicate, lips a vivid red, possessing a deity-like handso visage, now exuding a slight chill.
Although she'd seen plenty of handso n in the entertainnt industry, Alice was still struck by his looks. He was the gentle type, elegantly dressed, contrasting with the cold fury radiating from him, yet more intimidating.
Alice's heart trembled for a mont, forcibly maintaining her composure, "Let go of ! If you keep holding like this, I'll scream harassnt."
This scene, put in a novel, might be a unique encounter between a male and female protagonist, but at this mont...
Caspian smirked coldly, releasing her wrist, then drew a handkerchief from his pocket, ticulously wiping each finger.
His behavior perhaps indicated a phobia of uncleanliness, but Alice was infuriated.
"What do you an? Do you find filthy?"
"Aren't you filthy?" Caspian countered instead of answering, hesitating a mont, then added, "I'm just purely curious."
"You... you..." Alice was at a loss for words.
He rely questioned her without accusing her of being dirty or pinpointing where, yet even knowing his words carried sarcasm, she was helpless against him.
Caspian, like Mason Nightshade, is soone sharp-tongued and unfaltering.
Except Caspian rarely uses harsh words to corner people; Alice truly angered him this ti, crossing a line and ssing with soone she shouldn't have.
Aurelia Shaw approached Caspian, glancing at the shopping cart behind him, "Are the crabs bought?"
She noticed that not only crabs but several kinds of seafood were bought too.
"Let's head back."
"Did you buy what you needed?" Caspian asked her.
Aurelia instinctively hid the sanitary pads behind her back, two awkward blush spots surfacing on her face. It was odd; she felt nothing holding these when Mason did, but in front of her brother, she was embarrassed.
"I bought them, let's hurry back, I'm getting a bit hungry," Aurelia urged him.
"Okay." The frost in Caspian's gaze lted away.
She glanced at Alice, tugging Caspian towards the checkout counter, catching Alice in her peripheral vision secretly photographing them with her phone.
Caspian noticed too, tilting his head to speak softly, "Shouldn't we stop her?"
Aurelia shook her head, recalling Alice's uttered words, "She probably can't even enter the entertainnt industry anymore."
Driving, Caspian had Aurelia seated in the front passenger seat. To be safe, she called Amanda Fuller to inquire about the situation, "What's with Alice Bell of Chuanyu?"
"Alice Bell?" Amanda didn't know why Aurelia suddenly asked about Alice but explained the situation, "She was quietly blacklisted a while ago. She was a minor celebrity, barely attracting attention. I guess it was handled by Mr. Nightshade."
A woman intent on stepping over Aurelia to climb up, Amanda didn't have fondness for her either.
As expected, it was just as she guessed.
Buzzzz!
Perhaps it was a telepathic connection; just as she thought of Mason, his call ca through. Rembering their peaceful parting that morning, recalling the ssages she saw last night... Aurelia's heart grew cold.
She switched the phone to silent, putting it back into her pocket.
