The man stood straight up after sensing it, and surprise instantly flashed across his eyes when he lowered his head.

“What are you looking at?!” Narissa scowled.

“Come on, what’s the big deal? I’ll let you look at mine,” said the man as he unbuttoned his shirt, leading Narissa to close her eyes at once.

“You scoundrel!”

The next second, she felt something wrapped around her, and she looked up to find the man running away.

“Stay right there! You and I have a score to settle!”

As if I ‘m going to let you run away so easily after you ‘defiled’ me. I wouldn’t be Narissa Cuber if I didn’t batter you up.

Meanwhile, the man stood at the end of the stairs with his hands in his pockets and smiled frivolously. “I gave you a chance to look, but you turned it down. We’re already even, there are no scores to settle, so we won’t be seeing each other again.”

With that, he turned up the stairs to flee.

It was supposed to be a feint in the first place. He would pretend to go missing so that Alexander would search high and low with his men while he made a run for it in the meantime.

Having never been this indignant, Narissa flipped out. “You better hope that we never see each other again!”

However, the next second, the fading footsteps became clearer, and the man reversed down the stairs step by step, back into the basement. He looked up at the other end of the stairs where Alexander stood, obstructing most of the light shining in, looking like a God as well as Satan.

“This is the second time I’ve caught you, isn’t it?” Alexander bore into the man like an Alpha.

“To think I didn’t deceive you,” The man frowned, feeling somewhat upset his plan had failed.

“You can tell me your name now.” It was as though Alexander was taming a wild beast.

It was his call to loosen or tighten the reins in his hands.
