Chapter 6
Lucas Grey froze instantly.
What was going on?
Why wasn’t the male lead beating up Zeke Miller? Why was he suddenly staring at him?
What was he supposed to do now, start acting right away?
Just as he was panicking, David Fox strode toward them with long, purposeful steps.
Rose White frowned, her face showing clear displeasure.
What was he coming over for?
David Fox had been missing for seven years. He was no longer the clean and clear-eyed boy from her memories.
Now he was tall, powerful, and full of presence. His pitch-black eyes burned with fury and hatred.
His killing aura felt as if it could burn down the entire world, making him seem like a stranger and putting her on high alert.
Just thinking about how this man relied on being the novel’s male lead, blessed by fate, to steal the White Corporation and force her into his harem...
To make her obediently wash clothes, cook, and serve him...
She clenched her delicate fists, grinding her teeth.
She was the legitimate eldest daughter of the White family. She was destined to stand at the top of Su City’s business world. There was no way she would fall so low.
“Rose.”
David Fox walked up to Lucas Grey and Rose White. He ignored Lucas Grey and smiled at Rose White.
“It’s been a long time.”
Lucas Grey was stunned, then realized what was happening.
Right, right, right.
This was how the plot was supposed to go.
Tonight was the night the male lead reunited with Rose White. It made sense for him to come greet her.
But Lucas Grey wasn’t supposed to be here. Yet now, he was sitting next to Rose White, and they were sitting very close.
Lucas Grey swallowed hard.
[I’m the villain. I can’t just sit still while the protagonist tries to talk to Rose White. If I do nothing, my character will fall apart.]
[I’ll just scold him a little, help wrap up this small face-slapping scene, then leave the party and go home to sleep.]
With that, he suddenly stood up and blocked Rose White.
“Who the hell are you? Flirting with my girlfriend right in front of me, Young Master Grey? You must be tired of living!”
Perfect. The idiotic lines were delivered just right, and the arrogant acting was flawless.
Lucas Grey quietly gave himself a mental thumbs-up.
David Fox paused. His already cold eyes flared up even more. “Your girlfriend? Rose, is that true?”
[Nonsense, of course it’s not true. As long as Rose White denies it, the male lead will definitely get angry. Then I’ll curse him out a bit, he’ll punch me, I’ll roll away, and the scene ends perfectly.]
After hearing Lucas Grey’s inner voice, Rose White chuckled inwardly.
Leave?
Keep dreaming.
She rose gracefully, walked up to Lucas Grey, and under his eager gaze, raised her hand and took his arm.
“Yes, David Fox. Long time no see. Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Lucas Grey.”
Lucas Grey jolted in shock, his jaw almost dropping to the floor.
[What ... what is she saying? Has she lost her mind?]
Not only was he stunned, everyone around them was wide-eyed.
“Fuck, what’s going on? Goddess White actually admitted she’s with Lucas Grey?”
“No way. She must have been threatened!”
“Yeah yeah, I heard Lucas Grey got injured at the White family just to threaten her. Now the Grey family’s even planning to blacklist the White family.”
Hearing the crowd’s words, David Fox’s murderous aura exploded. “Lucas Grey, is what they’re saying true? Did you threaten Rose?”
Cold sweat dripped down Lucas Grey’s back.
Fuck.
