“

idiot is looking-” Sean didn’t his sentence when he saw Wilson standing at the door. His expression was icy, his presence overwhelming.

Sean shuddered, swallowing the rest of his words.

“Who had the audacity to “Ashton glanced impatiently toward the entrance. The moment he saw who it was, he stood up in shock.

“W–Wilson, why you here?” he stuttered.

Among the younger generation of these aristocratic families, there wasn’t a single person who wasn’t afraid of Wilson. They all regarded him. with a mix of fear and reverence, even the arrogant ones like Sean and Ashton.

Wilson swept his gaze around the room. Apart from the two of them, he didn’t see anyone else. It seemed that Collin’s information was wrong -Ms. Murray wasn’t here.

“Wilson, it’s been a while.” Ashton smiled ingratiatingly at the man, cautiously extending his hand.

Suddenly, he remembered Wilson’s severe germophobia and tried to withdraw his hand. To his surprise, Wilson took his hand and shook it.

Ashton’s face showed a mix of surprise and delight, but before he could revel in it, his expression turned to one of pain.

“Argh!” Wilson was twisting

his hand hard. Ashton winced from the pain but didn’t dare pull away.

“Some things are not meant for you,” Wilson said coldly, releasing his hand. His deep, narrow eyes bore a warning that sent shivers down Ashton’s spine.

Upon hearing about the progress in chip research, Yvette’s face lit up. “Great, I’ll find time to visit the research institute.”

After hanging up the phone, Yvette stepped out of the restroom and headed toward the private room.

That was when she ran into Wilson, who was in a foul mood.

Seeing Yvette, Wilson’s jaw tightened again. Collin’s information way off–Ashton hadn’t brought his sister to the restaurant; he had brought Yvette!

“

should be in class now.” Wilson took a deep breath, suppressing the emotions surging within him. His pitch–black eyes held a of crimson.

Yvie had skipped class to be with Ashton. He couldn’t imagine how she liked the man!

Yvette hadn’t expected to bump into Wilson at this time. She pressed her lips together nervously. “I didn’t have class this morning.” She was lying for Ashton. Wilson noticed something was off.

intense eyes narrowed.

He couldn’t contain his emotions any longer. He reached out, gripping her waist, and forcefully pulled her into an empty room. “What are you elu- “Before Yvette could finish her sentence, his kiss descended roughly, silencing all her words.
