Chapter 250

    Just as the woman''s fingers were about to touch Cassian''s neck, a sh of


    unmistakable disgust flickered in his eyes. He stepped back, swiftly dodging her hand.


    Raven''s gaze turned cold as she witnessed the woman''s attempt.


    It was one thing to look like her, but to even dare set eyes on her man was crossing the line.


    The woman paused, clearly surprised by Cassian''s reaction. But she quickly recovered and put on an even more intrigued smile.


    She looked him up and down, her already stunning face wore a smile seductive enough to steal souls.


    She said, "I''ll answer your question. But there are too many people here. Why don''t we find somewhere quiet and talk?"


    That suggestion couldn''t have been more perfect for Cassian, Raven, and Tony,


    Tony nodded and led the three of them into the Legacy Commerce Guild, where they entered a small, soundproof room.


    Once inside, the four took their seats. The woman gave Raven a brief nce but said nothing.


    Cassian said directly, "Now, tell us who you are."


    The woman didn''t beat around the bush. She jumped straight into a self- introduction.


    She said, "My name is Raven. I''m 28. Female. Into men. Currently single, but just now... I think I fell for someone."


    Her stunning eyes locked onto Cassian, and her smile curved like a hook, as if pulling him straight into a trap.


    She said sweetly, "Handsome, how about we take things further?"


    Tony''s whole body tensed.


    He''d prepared himself mentally, but hearing it aloud still made him deeply ufortable.


    Just then, a familiar voice rang out in Raven''s mind. It was Dominic. "Woman, what''s so great about that cold man? If she wants him, just give him to her! Isn''t having me enough for you?"


    Raven smacked Dominic away in her mind.


    Before Cassian could respond, she suddenly stood and walked right up to him.


    In full view of the woman and Tony, she wrapped her arms around Cassian''s neck, then, with practiced ease, sat sideways on hisp. Her voice came softly and teasing, breath brushing his ear.


    She said, "Handsome, I think I''ve fallen for you too. Will you give me a chance to take things further?"


    The room instantly fell into a weird, tense silence.


    The woman stared at Raven in disbelief. The seductive smile on her face cracked like shattered ss.


    She had seen Raven enter earlier, assumed she was Tony''s assistant, and hadn''t paid her any mind. Never in a million years did she think this woman was here to steal her man.


    Worse, she had just tried to touch his neck and had been t-out avoided.


    Now, faced with this woman sitting on hisp, he couldn''t even dodge.

    It might be because Raven looked too harmless, so his guard was down.

    Thinking of this possibility, the woman felt a littleforted, but the sight of the man she liked with another woman on hisp still stung.


    Sheforted herself by thinking Cassian would surely throw that clueless woman off hisp any second now. She looked at Raven with a growing mix of admiration and pity,


    Meanwhile, Tony, who always considered himself unshakable, felt like his understanding of the world had been turned upside down.


    Just minutes ago, this woman was all over him, trying to impress him by finding the person on the bounty list.


    Then, she looked at another guy and instantly switched gears.


    He thought this woman was utterly shameless and overconfident to think every man would fall for her.


    But just as both the woman and Tony were bracing for Cassian to fling Raven off like trash. They saw him do the exact opposite and were shocked.


    He didn''t push her away. Instead, he raised his hand and wrapped it firmly around Raven''s waist. Then, that godlike face broke into a smile so radiant it could make the heavens tremble.


    And next, his voice was drenched in indulgence, rang out like thunder that obliterated every coherent thought in their minds.
