With a cold snort, a wave of chilling severity flickered across Leopold's face. "Only a fool would dare to spread rumors about me!" he snarled.
Aurelia, rendered speechless, took out her lipstick to cover her swollen lips, a souvenir of his recent kiss.
"Why are you punishing me like this today... I didn't make you mad, did I?" she asked, her voice laden with confusion.
His icy gaze hardened, a silent storm brewing in the depth of his eyes.
Every time he saw her with Arnold, a rage ignited within him, causing him to lose control.
"From now on, if you need anything, you come to me. Don't go to Arnold!"
"Huh?" she paused, taken aback by his command.
Approach him and risk being mocked to death? She didn't have the courage for that!
"If there's no meeting , I'll just get out of the car now."
Leopold gripped her chin, forcing her to look at him.
His expression was stern, radiating an air of authority that couldn't be denied.
"Don't take my words lightly."
"I didn't... I remember everything you said." As Aurelia prepared to leave the car, she found the door locked.
Leopold secured her seatbelt, then stepped on the gas, driving away.
She felt dizzy. "Where are you taking me? My brother is still on set!"
"Isn't Arnold taking him to dinner tonight? Why are you worrying?" Leopold said coldly.
Feeling defeated, Aurelia took out her phone and messaged her brother and Arnold on WhatsApp, informing them she had to return to the hotel to handle something.
On set, Arnold's eyes flickered with an icy glint upon seeing her message. Avery approached, looking frustrated, "Arno, your brother is a workaholic, isn't he? He can't even let my sister enjoy her vacation in peace?"
Arnold sighed softly, "He's always like this, never considering others."
In his memory, Leopold was a chilling figure, his face always icy, void of emotions.
No one had ever managed to affect his mood, until Aurelia came into his life...
Avery sat next to him, scratching his head. "Arno, do you... like my sister?"
