---- 419.
OVERCONFIDENCE NARRATOR Kaths eyes were drawn to a shadow beyond the window, near a por tree.
They looked like piercing eyes devouring her, sharp rubies glowing in the dark.
The dominant aura almost reached out to her, but suddenly.
"Duchess, get up, we''re leaving." Elliot grabbed her arm, pulling her out of the trance.
He mmed the window shut, his gaze locking onto the same spot Katherine had been staring atyet now, there was nothing there.
"What? Whats going on? Is there a problem?" Brenda stood up, visibly nervous despite trying to mask it.
Nothing.
I have nothing else to think about.
I ept your proposal." "Oh? Just like that?" She could hardly believe Elliot would ept so easily, but of course, it was still a gift that had practically fallen into hisp.
"Good, I knew you''d help me.
Thank you so much, Elliot...
Tmean, Duke, for remembering the old times." "precisely because I remember that we once supported each other...
---- Elliot suddenly turned to face her, cing Katherine behind his broad back.
"T''m going to make something very clear to you, Brenda." His cold stare made her shrink back slightly, a flicker of fear in her eyes.
She didnt know why, but her wolf was warning herthis man had a far more dangerous aura than thest time she had seen him.
"Tf you truly want to cooperate, as long as it benefits me, we''ll cooperate.
We''ll be allies.
But the moment you try to screw me or my family over, I''ll destroy you.
Understood?" He tooka step forward, and Brenda instinctively stepped back, barely suppressing the tremble in her hands.
Elliots canines gleamed dangerously.
"Thesio was never a real threat to me.
But if you be one, I won''t show you any mercy." "Elliot, I" "We''re leaving." He didnt even let her finish before striding toward the door, gripping his Duchesss hand tightly.
Brenda clenched her jaw so hard she thought her teeth might shatter.
Ina fit of rage, she swept the appetizers off the table, sending ---- them crashing to the floor.
Rarely had she been so humiliated.
