Chapter 478 Are You Trying to Be Annoying or Pleasing?

Throughout the entire auction, Elise only bid for that piece of ore. She did that not because there were no better gems, but she just did not want to go up against Kenneth, the scheming man again.

She reckoned this man, who controlled the pulse of the city’s economy, might have set up more traps for her. As such, she could only restrain her temperament lest Kenneth seized another chance.

However, Elise was distressed as she was not able to act as she pleased. At this thought, she couldn’t help shooting a fierce glare at Kenneth when she saw him stand up at the end of the event.

Perceiving the sharp glare from the opposite side, Kenneth instinctively glanced in that direction and was innocently stunned upon seeing Elise’s fierce look. What?

After walking out of the private room, Kenneth did not leave immediately but stayed at the entrance.

Elise bumped into Kenneth the moment she came out, and her beautiful eyes were filled with murderous intentions at once.

“Why are you staring at me like this, Miss Sinclair?” Kenneth asked with a half-smile.

“How else should I look at you then?” Elise continued with a straight face, “A gentleman would not steal the apple of someone else’s eye.”

Kenneth looked down and smiled faintly while Elise was completely pissed off.

He’s already at this age. Don’t tell me he thinks he looks handsome by smiling like this!

“Why don’t you understand it as I’m doing so to please you?” Kenneth blurted suddenly.

“Because I’m already engaged, and I don’t need anyone besides my fiancé to please me. If there’s anyone who does, I’ll deem him as an idiot,” Elise retorted with a strong attitude.

An idiot?

Should I be happy or angry?

Kenneth inhaled deeply in resignation while lifting his brows and recklessly eyed Elise up.
