Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Carson spun the tip of his phone between his two fingers and turned around. He gazed down as he rested his arm against the railing, noticing a Porsche parked near the entrance. It was Victor’s car, to be precise.

“If you want to know who ordered me to do this, why don’t you just ask him?”

Rachel followed Carson’s gaze and looked down. She happened to catch Victor’s eyes as he exited the vehicle.

Carson gently smiled as his glass touched the empty one in Rachel’s hand. “I’ll go in first. The air outside may make you feel comfortable, but it’s a little chilly. You should be careful not to catch a cold.” Without waiting for Rachel’s reaction, Carson turned around and headed into the hall. Rachel quickly looked away and pressed her lips together. She wasn’t sure why she felt nervous when she and Victor exchanged glances just now.

“Becky, don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. You don’t have to follow me.” Meanwhile, Susan, who had just separated from her mother, found Becky waiting for her on the stairwell of the banquet hall’s second floor. “I’m glad you know. I did it for your own good,” Becky said earnestly.

the type to get along with everyone, but those who truly got to know him learned that he was a ruthless man with murderous intent behind his playful smiles. He was a sly fellow. Susan had been with Victor for the past three years. She knew Carson and Victor had a strong bond, so she made an effort to get close to Carson in the few occasions they would meet. However, he hadn’t been so nice to her. He would treat her as if she were a stranger. But now, Carson, whom Susan had worked so hard to please, had a very different attitude towards Rachel. Susan’s eyes narrowed and she couldn’t help but bite her lower lip.

Carson treat her like this while they acted nicely toward Rachel? All of a sudden, Carson keenly sensed that someone was looking at him. Following his gut, he cocked his head slightly and saw Susan standing by the stairwell. Carson fixed his gaze on Susan and gave her a playful smirk. He then raised the Susan in his hand and proposed a toast to her. Seeing that Carson noticed her looking at him, Susan was startled for a moment before swiftly turning away. Becky was observing Susan’s emotional state closely as she stood next to her. When she noticed her sudden

Then, she lifted her chin up. “Victor.” Seeing this, Tammy felt bitter. She was so worried about her daughter being heartbroken. When she remembered how Victor had hurt her daughter, she looked absolutely displeased. “Think about where you are and control

It’s a bit crowded here. There’s still little time left before the celebration starts. How about going to the second floor first to rest?” On the second floor of the banquet hall, there was a luxurious lounge where guests from wealthy families could relax and unwind. Victor would rarely attend these banquets in the last four years, and when he did, he just stayed in the lounge for a short period of time before leaving.
