Thinking fast, lody Donovan lifted her leg and viciously kneed him in the groin.
"Ah..." Dominic Thorne never imagined she would still fight back, especially not in such an extre way. He doubled over in pain, taking a long while to recover.
"Damn this woman!" ’I was just trying to tease her. I can’t believe she took it so seriously.’
As for the woman who had hurt him, she had long since vanished...
lody Donovan, having fled back to the main hall, ran right into Sumr Lancaster, who was looking for her. "Lancaster, let’s talk later! Sothing urgent ca up, a real ergency. I gotta go!"
"Be caref—" Before Sumr Lancaster could finish, lody Donovan was out the door like a flash.
She turned around and saw Dominic Thorne walking toward her, a sour look on his face.
"What happened between you two? I’m warning you, don’t you dare bully her!" Sumr Lancaster ran angrily to Dominic Thorne’s side, her voice rising as she confronted him.
"You’ve got it all wrong! I didn’t bully her, she bullied !"
"Is... is that so?" Sumr Lancaster felt a bit awkward, but inwardly, she was delighted. ’That girl hasn’t lost her knack for getting under people’s skin. If she was the one bullying him, then I have nothing to say. But if he ever dares to bully her, I’ll lead a grand army to take him down. Of course, that army would consist of one person: Kenneth Yates!’
"Sis, I’ve got to go. I’m injured," Dominic Thorne said with an aggrieved look on his face.
"Go, go, go. Just don’t let see you around anyti soon." Sumr Lancaster waved her hand dismissively. ’It wasn’t that he couldn’t see *her*, but that he needed to stay away from lody Donovan.’
"Hmph, I’m so pitiful. Are you this an to the Boss, too? He’s in an even more pitiful state than I am!"
"Dominic Thorne, get the hell out of my sight!" Kenneth Yates had walked over just in ti to hear Dominic’s words, and he was not pleased...
"Ah, Boss! I’m leaving, leaving right now." With a snicker, he found Sary and made a swift retreat. ’Can’t be interrupting their quality ti, after all.’
"Kenneth Yates, do you think you’re pitiful?" Sumr Lancaster turned to him, looking as if she were about to pass judgnt.
"Not at all. Why should my wife be nice to anyone else? As long as you’re good to , that’s all that matters."
Sumr Lancaster’s expression softened, clearly satisfied with his answer.
"Let’s go ho, too." Kenneth Yates took her hand and led her toward the exit.
"But the party isn’t over yet. You’re the host. Is it really okay for you to just leave?"
"You think I paid all those people just to stand around and look pretty?"
Sumr Lancaster stole a glance at Kenneth Yates and said ekly, "You paid for to be here, too..."
"No amount of money could ever buy you, Sumr Lancaster..." Kenneth Yates suddenly stopped and turned to face her. "From now on, everything I have is yours."
Sumr Lancaster blinked, gazing at his domineering figure. ’Everything he has is mine?’ At that mont, she felt like she had the whole world. Nothing else mattered. She just wanted to be by his side, to be his wings and soar with him...
"So, everything of yours is mine? In that case, I want your heart." As she spoke, Sumr Lancaster placed her finger over his heart and began tracing small circles. "Can I have it?" She t his gaze. His dark eyes were deep and bottomless, yet gentle.
Kenneth Yates said nothing. He simply took her hand and started walking out again. "A person can’t live without their heart..."
Sumr Lancaster was confused. ’What kind of answer was that? Was he saying yes or no?’ A sliver of disappointnt crept into her heart. ’He’s right, a person can’t live without a heart. But I didn’t an I literally wanted to rip it out of his chest! I just ant I wanted his love. What’s gotten into him? I never expected that kind of answer. I thought for sure he would say sothing sweet and cheesy, just like he always does.’
