Mabel Quinn suddenly hugged Kyle Kinston tightly, burying her face in his chest. "Kyle, I’m so happy that I fell in love with you!"
Yes, she fell in love with someone who treated her so well.
But come the evening, the boss started to settle old scores. "Do you really like Daniel Harris’s eyes?" The boss leaned lazily against the bed, his eyes swirling with a hint of pride and flirtation.
Mabel was drinking water and almost choked. "Wha... what? No way..."
"Really, no? Didn’t you say you liked his eyes when you were young?" he asked.
"..." Mabel hesitated, struggling between lying and being honest, and finally decided to remain silent.
After all, when she was young, she had more than once said she liked Daniel Harris’s eyes, thinking they were the most beautiful pair she’d ever seen.
Her silence made him raise an eyebrow. "And now? Do you still like his eyes?" His mellow tone was laced with a hint of jealousy.
Even if Mabel was naïve, she knew exactly how to answer now. She quickly shook her head and said, "No, I don’t like them anymore. I like your eyes now."
To convey her sincerity, she even put on a serious expression. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovєlFіre.net
He laughed, a smile full of temptation, and then beckoned to her with his finger. Mabel suddenly felt an urge to have a nosebleed.
Such good looks... really unparalleled.
"Do you really like my eyes?" He tilted his head slightly, his eyes glancing at her.
She nodded as she walked to the bed. "Yes, I really do."
"So, are my eyes more beautiful than Daniel Harris’s?" he asked.
"..." Even this needs comparison? Mabel realized that once a man starts comparing, he can be more troublesome than a woman.
In Mabel’s view, Kyle Kinston’s eyes and Daniel Harris’s eyes were completely different styles. However, for her, she naturally preferred his eyes and found them more beautiful.
"Yes, your eyes are more beautiful," she said.
He was finally satisfied and smiled, extending his hand to pull her onto the bed.
"Mabel, other than me, you’re not allowed to like any other man’s eyes, nose, eyebrows, ears, fingers... not even a little bit." The boss’s domineering side was evident.
She rolled her eyes speechlessly. Was she really that fickle? Just with him alone, she already couldn’t get enough.
Mabel said, "Then you’re also not allowed to like any other woman’s eyes, nose, eyebrows, ears, fingers... not even a little bit."
He raised an eyebrow, looking at her with interest. "Are you ordering me?"
"It’s an order. Are you going to listen?" she said.
"If it’s your order, I’ll listen," he said. In the whole world, she’s the only woman who could order him around.
In the detention center, Grace Yowell was uneasy. She didn’t know what her fate would be. Earlier, when she left the court, a swarm of reporters surrounded her, and those flashlights made it impossible for her to escape.
Her once glamorous life seemed like a thing of the past. Now, her face under those flashlights appeared no better than a clown.
Her recent ups and downs were nothing more than a roller-coaster drama to many.
Why, why was she meant to have such a fate? Clearly, she didn’t plant that bomb, and the explosion incident had nothing to do with her! Yet, she was implicated.
She only wanted to get rid of Mabel Quinn.
Suddenly, the door to her cell was pushed open, and a correctional officer called, "Grace Yowell, someone wants to see you. Let’s go."
Grace was taken aback. Who would want to see her at a time ?
But when she asked the officer, he wouldn’t reveal a single word. And when she entered the meeting room, she saw a familiar figure.
It was Daniel Harris!
Grace rushed over excitedly. "Daniel, I knew it. You wouldn’t abandon me. You still care about me, can’t bear to leave me, right?"
Daniel looked coldly at the person in front of him. "Do you think at this point, I would still have any feelings for you?"
"I know I’ve done many wrong things in the past. I fraudulently used Mabel Quinn’s identity because of my greed. But over these years, my feelings for you were genuine. I really loved you and was afraid Mabel would take you away, so I did so many wrong things," Grace desperately explained.
But Daniel remained unmoved. "I came to see you today just to clarify, when you arranged to meet Mabel Quinn that day, was it really just to return her badge?"
Grace’s eyes flickered for a moment before she said, "Of... of course."
"That badge—you wouldn’t easily return it to her if you stole it from her in the first place." Having been with Grace for ten years, Daniel knew her character somewhat.
"I did tell Mabel I returned her badge, hoping she’d put in a good word for me to Kyle Kinston, hoping he’d spare me," Grace stammered nervously.
"Since you were in cahoots with Josh Harris at the time, were you really thinking of bowing down to Mabel Quinn? When I reached for the badge, you cried out not to touch it. Was there something on that badge that made you so tense?" Daniel pressed further.
Grace’s shout of "don’t touch" at the time had made him increasingly suspicious. That’s why he came to see Grace, wanting to get to the bottom of it.
"No, there was nothing on that badge!" Grace hurriedly denied.
