Just as her attention wavered,
Claire Sinclair's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively turned to look at his face.
Adrian Quincy suddenly lowered his head and said to Ethan Kingsley, "Princess Morinka is still in the reception room, all by herself. You can go in."
A mysterious smile played on Ethan Kingsley's lips. Without even glancing at the reception room, he said pointedly, "A woman even you won't deign to look at—do you really think I'd be interested?"
Adrian Quincy stated expressionlessly, "The woman I've chosen is someone you can never have."
As soon as the words left his mouth, the smile vanished from Ethan Kingsley's eyes, replaced by an intimidating chill.
He said nothing more. After one final glance at Claire Sinclair, he turned and walked away.
Claire Sinclair couldn't suppress a shiver. She quickly spun around and threw herself into his arms.
Adrian Quincy gently stroked her hair and said in a low voice, "Claire, remember this: I love you."
