A surge of anger flared up, making her hands tremble.
She whipped her head around and shouted at Hayden Croft.
"You're useless too! Can't even comfort your girlfriend, so why don't you take her away quickly?!"
Hayden Croft licked the corner of his mouth, his gaze fixed firmly on Cora Lowell's receding figure.
That gaze was blatant, without the slightest hint of concealment.
"Miss Jennings, you've really underestimated me. To make women lose their minds... I claim second, and no one dares to claim first!"
He chuckled lightly, his tone flippant, yet his eyes were frighteningly dark.
Clara Jennings wanted to speak again, but Landon Lockwood's glance silenced her.
She immediately closed her mouth.
"Have you caused enough trouble yet?"
Her lips turned pale from biting, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
"I... I was speaking the truth just now!"
Every word was true, not a single falsehood!
Landon Lockwood raised his hand, the slap hanging in mid-air, not coming down.
